It’s unclear what led to the scathing post, but the Marvel superhero did take time to mention the “good apples” at the national flag carrier.
“The best go above and beyond for people who are trying to brave horrendous airport lines to try and get to their destination.”
Liu, who was born in China and raised in the Greater Toronto Area, voiced his opinion to his three million followers on the platform on Thursday.
CTV News Toronto reached out to Air Canada for comment following the post, but has not yet received a response.

Toronto Pearson and Air Canada made headlines for all the wrong reasons last summer following months of delays and flight cancellations brought on by the loosening of COVID-19 travel restrictions and related staffing issues.
Earlier this month, a Toronto-based coalition called on the federal government to implement its own trusted-traveller program to pre-vet low-risk travellers and help cut down on screening times for both domestic and international departures.
