Totally agree. And it was Cap - whose morals were developed in the 1930s and 40s, a career soldier and religious man (“There’s only one god maam, and he doesn’t dress like that”). Not only doesn’t Cap react, he engages. I loved that moment.

I thought it was a good moment. To me, it helped build the perception of how changed planet Earth is post-snap, a ravaged world still in shock and grief with touches of PTSD.

That sounds mean spirited even for a typical prank show. 

What bothers me most about these stories is that the handful of guys who do this want to “trigger” the libs and “be seen”. Articles like this give those few people on Twitter exactly what they want.

The AV Club posting these kind of stories is the leading cause of smug.  It is easy to find anything you want on twitter or in you tube comments, so when they need a story, it is always there to write.  I think they are hungover from the long weekend so we get this. 

Why does the AV Club always insist on picking the lowest hanging fruit possible? “Here’s red meat for our progressive readers, chomp chomp.” Who is learning, here, and what?

Beg to disagree. There was the potential for a great Mountains of Madness-type story about the aliens’ origins, but Prometheus wasn’t it.

You know what we needed? None of the Engineer backstory nonsense. Alien was at its best when it was a mysterious infestation that took out some more powerful alien ship and one person (then three people and a robot) barely survived the encounter. There’s a terror in a mystery that just wants to kill you that is far…

Your comment is just as common as the complaints now. People invested themselves in the book series, they are allowed to be discouraged too. You are correct, he doesn’t owe us anything, that doesn’t mean fans of the book aren’t allowed to vocalize (commentize?) their discontent. GRRM was adament the show wouldn’t…

skirt made out of men’s ties is amazing

I’d certainly be happy to spend a few months starring in a wacky beach blanket musical rather than sit at my desk and stare at spreadsheets. lol

“I just don’t find it very cool that somebody makes you do something that is not your passion and you don’t want to do.”

I wish they’d made a rushed musical with the Idol winner and runner-up from every season afterwards, if only because I desperately want to know what premise they would’ve come up with for a Reuben Studdard/Clay Aiken vehicle.

Never ceases to amaze me how people can take ANYTHING and turn it into a controversy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nicely done- I can dig it. As a makeup-wearing lady person who also likes to kick ass (no special powers, just kickboxing), I don’t automatically consider my choice on makeup to be a commentary on the patriarchy. 

They also don’t understand Catholicism, apparently.

Do celebrities make an inordinate amount of money compared to the vast majority of the population? Yes. Is working a press circuit for months at a time a wildly mentally and emotionally draining experience? Also yes. Both things can be true.

Well, he should’ve wrote the books instead of running around doing all sorts of nonsense. I don’t know what he thought would happen.

There is no way.... repeat.... NO WAY.... that he finishes this series before he dies. Absolute zero chance. 

I guess not all of them believe that they are temporarily embarrassed millionaires. Too bad all of us have to live with the fallout from their delusions.
