Ahh, but it works in the one place that matters the most: online arguments!

This kind of approach has been around a good long while. Like how all the major Nazi characters in Hogan’s Heroes were played by Jewish actors... with the added bonus that they were all Jews who had escaped Nazi-controlled Europe.

They said The Thing!

Oh, excellent! I was wondering when the second season was coming out.

Okay, I love that they did this.

Well, it’s like I said in my most recent response - there were enough signs that be might have been arguing in good faith that I felt like engaging at a respectful level, even if what he was saying did miss the point being made in TFA.

Except that engagment with these issues is an ongoing discourse. Different people write this material at different times, and keeping to a very particular idealistic mantra from a very particular time and place does a deep disservice to everybody, including the original source material.

I tend to read it not so much as advocating separatism, but more to show that the desire for it when you’re a persecuted minority is an understandable one. One of the faults of the old-school politics of tolerance is that it makes a lot of demands that the marginalized tamp down their anger and just be grateful that…

Oh definitely! Funny enough, the one part of the show where I think she sounded most like Shepard was when she voiced a firefighter at the beginning of the second episode.

Holy cripes.

There was an episode in season 3 where the X-Men fought that iteration of X-Factor, and Forge was introduced as part of the team. I was actually wondering how they were going to handle that part of his background in ‘97 when they announced that they were doing Lifedeath.

Speaking as somebody who is reading the comic for the first time while at the same time watching the series for the first time, I... respectfully disagree. While I’m enjoying the comics quite a bit, pretty much every time I encounter something different from the series (changes to Amber William, and Rex in particular,…

I’ve been rereading the Red Mars/Green Mars/Blue Mars trilogy these last couple of weeks and kept thinking, “damn, these would make for a great tv series.” All the criticism of transnational/metanational corporations probably wouldn’t endear it to most media conglomerates, unfortunately.

This was some wonderfully bizarre timing for me - I’d decided just a few days ago that I wanted to read the Invincible comic after finally being sold on the show, so I’d read the comic version of this exchange for the first time literally hours before seeing this scene air, thinking, “They should do this for the show,…

Honestly? You are indeed missing the key factors that would let you enjoy the show to its fullest.

I’ll admit I was on the fence about the new animation style in the trailer, but I am definitely sold on the fight choreography here. The corny fight banter is also on point.

It’s a pretty simple formula.

Ah, fair point there. “Denied access,” then.

One thing of particular relevance not mentioned here - the time that Musk cut off Starlink access to Ukraine for a major military operation because he believed that the attack would lead to a nuclear counterstrike.
