Amber Ruffin Slams Marvel’s “Deeply Offensive” Portrayal Of Princess Matoaka In Recent ‘King Conan’ Issue – Watch

Amber Ruffin has a bone to pick with Marvel Comics.
On a recent episode of her late-night talk show, The Amber Ruffin Show, she called Marvel out over its “deeply offensive” depiction of the Princess Matoaka in the recently released King Conan #3, from writer Jason Aaron.
“We talk a lot on this show about how representation matters, but what if that representation is so deeply offensive that it’s worse than not being represented at all?” Ruffin asked. “I’ll explain in a segment called, ‘How Did We Get Here?'”
Ruffin went on to say that if the name Matoaka sounds familiar, that’s probably because it’s the birth name of the indigenous woman most of us know as Pocahontas. “Now, I know what you’re thinking—what a great opportunity to show a historic native woman for the complicated, resourceful, brave person that she was,” the host said.
