Move over, Taylor Swift: There’s a new “childless cat lady” endorsement for Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign from “Delaware’s most famous person.”

Wilmington native and actress Aubrey Plaza posted a photo of herself on Instagram Wednesday morning with the caption “HARRIS 🇺🇸 WALZ” and tagged Harris’ campaign page.

Plaza used a photo of herself from 2014 with the late Grumpy Cat in her lap.

She is my favorite actress, so this is pleasant to see. If you haven't seen her work in Legion, I strongly recommend it. Worth watching for her performance alone - genius level.

Man I wish Marvel wouldn't pretend that show never existed. It's so fucking good, absolute mind fuck. And given the connection to X-Men, they could easily fold it in or at least make a one-off film or something.

Edit: this might be a spoiler for Legion (and Deadpool 3 I guess), so be warned... But seeing as Deadpool 3 had Professor X's ~~daughter~~ twin sister, they could easily bring in his son. I wonder if they made a conscious choice not to make Legion the antagonist in that movie just in case they want to use the character again for something else?

Yeah, I normally avoid and hate all the superhero stuff, because it's generally all the same. Legion was not though. Legion was different and we'll executed. I wish we could see more like it.

I hear ya, but it's a little slice of perfection that can't be stained at least. I heard Noah Hawley specifically wanted to keep it to only 3 seasons as he felt a lot of shows start to go south after that. I largely agree (although he's pushed Fargo out further and it still really good).

That's fair. The way things are going now, they'd end up ruining the IP.

I would say Fargo doesn't really fit that rule as each season is a separate story with a completely different cast.

On a semi-related note, have you ever seen what Legion looks like in the comics? Lol, let's just say I'm glad they changed the aesthetic for the show.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The show made me want to buy the books so I did. They are not bad, but boy the overhaul on the style and the storyline was huge for the show and so much better.

Yeah I haven't read the comics, just seen pictures and was not a fan of the character design at all. Screams 90s/early 00s, but not in a good way imo
