Raise your hand if you’re actually quite excited about the Spider-Man reboot now, but simultaneously afraid about what ableist shit might happen to Harry Osborn (who is canonically schizophrenic, possibly bipolar, and an abuse survivor) if they decide to include him in there

how do you feel about how the MCU has handled other mentally ill characters?

I thought Iron Man 3 did a pretty good job. I especially liked that the idea of (gasp) taking medication for mental illness was handled sensibly…

But I’ve also heard that Scarlet Witch wasn’t treated nearly as well. I’m not that familiar with her character and I’ve only seen AOU twice, but that’s another reason to be a little worried I guess….
