So essentially, it's a Christmassy, Japanese swampass.

Marvel Comics - with one line that you carelessly failed to edit out of the script for the Avengers movie, you have insulted adopted children, adult adoptees, and adoptive parents!

In your new movie, The Avengers, the character Black Widow says "He (Loki) killed 80 people in 2 days." Then the Thor character replies, "He's adopted."

Sooo..according to your scriptwriter, the fact he was adopted is the reason he is a bad guy!

Being adopted is NOT something to use for the butt of jokes! Marvel, immediately cease using adoption as the butt of jokes AND issue a public apology to the adoption community!

These bloggers - and commenters - have already voiced their objections:

The human race has become a sad, pathetic lot indeed. I mean, seriously, who gets butt-hurt and becomes a whiny crybaby about something like this?? F those people.

Looks like some woman started it. Or as I would now classify her, a total mewling quim.

People who aren't adopted.

A big to the human race.

I'm a stepfather in a blended family situation and I found the line hilarious.

 

[ZaCHw117]

I went with my two friends who were adopted and they laughed their ass off.


Oh, modern society. When are you gonna grow up?

 

[Shropt]

Hear about the guy saying that Avengers is racist because they used Schwarma as a joke? Are you serious?

I remember a lot of similar whining when "The Orphan" came out. Bleh.

 

[Darth Cruel]

India is bellyaching for the attention brought to their slums and the stereotyping of an American having to come and help them care for their ill as well...whatever.

 

[Kamandi]

In the scene where Loki makes everyone bow and an old man stands up I had hoped it was going to be Bucky.

(yes I know he fell. You don't seriously think he's dead?)

 

[Darth Cruel]

Oh...and I had forgotten about the "He's adopted" line. That ____ was hilarious!

 

[Shropt]

Honestly the worst thing Avengers did was not include a Scar-Jo lingerie or nude scene. What the hell, was there no room in this 2.5 hour beast to include a flashback to Hawkeye and Widow getting it on? Seriously?
