OF COURSE I like Namor

I am surprised by the regularity with which people express surprise to me that I really want Namor to show up in the MCU. Basically whenever I say it, somebody's like, why do you care about Namor? Why would you want him around in the films? They are, like, SURPRISED.

I think Namor's interesting! He's definitely, definitely a dick, particularly to T'Challa, but I like the idea that T'Challa is challenged by a fellow-royal on issues of being a king. He's conservationally-minded, and has serious problems with how humans ruin the oceans. I like how he makes Sue Storm confront the problems in her marriage to a fairly self-absorbed man. He'd be an interesting character addition, particularly when the Fantastic Four show up!

And because they can cast a twenty-five-year-old underwear model, give him some FEROCIOUS eyebrows, and make him wear a scaly banana hammock the whole film. COME ON PEOPLE HAVE YOU MET ME?

Plus, he, like, canonically bangs the queen of the crustacean people and stuff. And she really does look like a giant sea monkey, and when people are weird about it, he admonishes them for their puritanical human narrow-mindedness.



NAMOR IS NOTHING IF NOT COSMOPOLITAN IN HIS TASTES.

I mean, really. It's like you people don't know me at all.
