Latinx Heritage Month 2022
Manage episode 343694176 series 3143046
Join Latina co-hosts Bridgette and Genn for a special edition of Nerd Alert Niñas in honor of Latinx Heritage Month! We break down some Latinx characters in the MCU (including the Netflix shows and Agents of SHIELD’s Slingshot miniseries). Bridgette also discusses how Frederick Luis Aldama’s book Latinx Superheroes in Mainstream Comics takes a scholarly look at Latinx representation, from the good to the bad to the stereotypes. Unfortunately, the MCU is lacking Latinx characters, so we urge them to do and be better, and for you, our dear listeners, to educate yourselves. Salud!
