“I reached out to my good friend Andy Park, who was the genius behind creating the original Wasp super-suit and concept drawings, and I said, ‘Is this true? Is this really what’s happening?'” Lilly said in a video post reacting to reports of Marvel layoffs amid a larger Disney pivot to AI. “He said, ‘Yeah, it’s true.’ I can’t quite believe that… that Disney has let go of the artists who brought the Marvel Universe to life through their genius and that the people who invented these characters and who designed them are being replaced by AI. AI that will take their designs and take what they created and use it to create iterations of that. I am so sorry, Andy. I am so sorry to every one of the artists who were let go.”
Rally Attendance: In January 2022, Lilly attended a “Defeat the Mandates” rally in Washington, D.C., supporting bodily autonomy and protesting government-mandated vaccinations.
Stance on Mandates: She expressed on Instagram that “nobody should ever be forced to inject their body with anything, against their will,” listing potential negative consequences for refusing, such as loss of employment.
Previous Pandemic Comments: In March 2020, she apologized for “insensitive” comments early in the pandemic, where she initially refused to self-isolate, saying she valued “freedom” over her life.
Backlash and Response: Despite receiving backlash, including from fans and some peers, she stated she knew her actions would “wake the giant” and aimed to support those under pressure to get vaccinated.
She’s an asshole. Another antivax hick from Alberta.
