Super Pumped comes from Billions’ Brian Koppelman and David Levien, with the two of them and Beth Schacter executive producing, writing, and serving as showrunners.

But hey that’s ok because these frat boys are here to remind us that they were born with a deed to the entire world (which their ancient Greek membership confirms).

they’ve proven they’re excellent at regulating drugs already (opioid epidemic), internet access (whoops), rent (lmao), minimum wage (hasn’t changed to even reflect the bare minimum of inflation in over a decade)

I don’t read this as blaming the complainants, it’s blaming CBS for having them as showrunners.

Honestly, another reason why the state patchwork framework needs to eventually turn into federal regulation.

Yeah, I’m maybe willing to buy that it’s a sign of something (for example, that they are not too up their own ass to care about what people think when they order food, or that they’re not super adventurous about food) but I don’t think it would, on it’s own, be an actual red flag.

You really think they could have built a successful 22-23 movie franchise if they just let Directors do whatever the hell they wanted to do?

I mean, if your friend includes the gay pride logo in his stream, how is it surprising people ask if he’s gay.

To me, this whole film feels like…a kiddie, G-rated, Disney version of Joker.

No, Nomadland was filmed in 2018.

If, by this point, you think Marvel isn’t going to let their directors have artistic freedom with their projects, I don’t know what to tell you.

Doesn’t Thor sort of say the opposite? That they exist as super-powered beings but are not gods?

Ah yes, evangelicals protesting movies is truly a new thing.

Great write up as always. Man, that New Yorker article, which literally was published 24 days before Bridesmaid’s is something.

Reading this, you wonder if the issue isn’t her being miscast but misused.

Check out For All Mankind too. Season one starts ok, but it’s uphill from there. Season two was pretty great. At some point you realize that for all it’s alt-history, it’s just Mad Men with astronauts (in a good way).

If they totally disassociated it, why would they need to change their race?

I suggest you use some critical thinking skills to try and figure out why  your comment isn’t particularly relevant, or stop trolling.

You can’t disassociate the character of “The Ancient One”, who is a Tibetan monk who practices what is clearly a pretend form of Asian mysticism, from the race.

I think the problem with the “pro” is that you’re still using an Asian mysticism pastiche. Yes, you avoid putting an Asian actor into a stereotyped position, but it’s sort of weird to be like “oh, this 1940's view of Asian mysticism would be uncool if we had an Asian actor, but when it’s a white woman doing it, it’s…
