Because they CAN. For the most part they'll get away with it - they probably won't even be publicly accused.

You're absolutely right. There's a lot of ambient sexism in TOS but Kirk himself is hardly the douchey sexual harasser Abrams turned him into.

I would cosplay the shit out of Brienne of Tarth. If I could afford armor. And was 6 inches taller.

That really could only help.

Yeah, and they are better ... but the dialog and the acting are still just not gelling for me. :\

What do you expect? According to movies out now or coming out shortly, the following people were extremely pasty white folk: Noah, Noah's whole family (and therefore the ancestors of all humanity), Moses, all the Israelites, Rameses, and most of the population of ancient Egypt.

You know, I have really, really tried to like AoS. I am a shameless Marvel fangirl. I do not have super-high standards for TV shows I watch. It's just not working for me.

NNnnooooooooooo aw fooey

I love the movie itself, but I love it more for the fact that Vin Diesel and Dame Judi Dench played D&D together while making it. That is the best thing ever.

Children's shows can be good, you know. Like Earth's Mightiest Heroes. Or Avatar the Last Airbender. Or Batman the Animated Series.

Every time I read the plot of a long-running comic book storyline, I feel like I'm having a stroke.

If SHIELD actually has the guts to have Hand be actually dead and Ward actually evil and not brain-washed/mind-whammied/working a double-secret triple-agent scheme, I will take back at least half of the bad things I've said about the show.

And of course Germany is known for its inclusive sensitivity to minorities and oppressed cultures.

I agree. I wish this show had the guts to make Ward evil, but I highly doubt it.

You're not a bad geek; you're a geek of refinement and taste. A gentlegeek, if you will.

I am a comics enthusiast and an unabashed superhero fan and under no circumstances will I see Batman v Superman.

I just fail to see what the appeal of this concept even is. 2 hours of watching villains be villainous? And then what? We'll definitely know who they are when Spider Man beats up on them?

Yeah, if what you're looking for is something to give you gross scabby chemical burns.

Can't lie; I kinda agree with the reviewer of The Alchemist.

Maria Hill wakes up from a power-nap, shrugs and continues with her paperwork.
