The best part is when Peter makes a promise to Gwen Stacey's dying father that he'll stay away from Gwen so that she won't get hurt due to Peter's Spider-Man-ing, and then at the end of the film he straight-up flirt-jokes with Gwen about how he's breaking that promise.
"Don't make promises you can't keep".
"But those…

The issue being that his race is fundamental to nothing on the show. Additionally, many of the stories involving his race could in comics could easily be abstracted to his being rich and Western, both of which already loom larger than his ethnicity in both comics and on tv.

There was certainly discussion about whether he should be, with some people being outraged he wasn't, some not, and some saying that it depended on the plot of the story. But people like simple narratives, and so "people are outraged he wasn't Asian" became a common way to describe the totality of that discussion,…

On a related note, all three of WWE's main shows this week had women's wrestling as their main event. I believe that is a first—and would be a first if it was just Raw and Smackdown.

Reality: Multiple discussions about the various things that make Iron Fist a flawed production, including a discussion of culture and race that involved multiple perspectives.

"and bullies stopped being effective in 3rd grade."

Oh man that gun control episode. "Of course!! The Common Sense Solution… why hasn't anyone else thought of that before!?"

I think its unfair to assume Jacobs had to catch up and wasn't simply doing the best she could with pigeonholed character material.

This looks like really bad.

"While I'm not against the ruling, the issue I see is that Google is a private enterprise, not a public service."

Nothing more pathetic than a "they're just jealous" excuse.

Before this episode happened I told someone "I'd like Carmella to win again, but if she wins on her own merits it completely undermines the story being told about her winning by being conniving." So of course she had pretty much a straight-up victory as far as the no-DQ stipulation goes. If you want her to look more…

"It was a shitty thing when WCW did it and it's still a shitty thing now. "

Supergirl didn't just have a seasonal arc, it had a disjointed one. Episodic tv is fine, but Supergirl wasn't doing episodic TV. It consistently created plotlines and then failed to deliver on those storyarcs with any level of coherent structure or follow-through.

Not only were the less than 1% chances ridiculous, but there were a lot of pundits acting like the poll aggregators which gave Trump something like a 10% or 20% chance were essentially saying that he was going to lose. As if one-in-five and one-in-ten are incredibly long odds.

If you had a valid point you wouldn't feel the need to try and disqualify dissenters by calling them extremists. I mean, you're running with a made-up statistic at the start of your post.

I'd understand a debate between whether Arrow or LoT was the better CW show (it's LoT), but Supergirl did not hold a candle to either. Unlike Supergirl, LoT and Arrow actually had a defined season-long story structure and gave coherent arcs to their main characters (with LoT doing both of those things better than…

I strongly disliked Car Ghostrider in the comics and thought it was because of my stupid nostalgia for Blaze and Ketch, but it turns out that was just a design issue the entire time, because I really enjoyed him onscreen.

People use Russian as a shorthand for "Russian government", the same way they use "Moscow". And doing so is entirely justified given Putin's recent foreign policy history—irrespective of anything to do with Donald Trump.
