Late last week, Niko Partners senior analyst Daniel Ahmad tweeted out a pirated clip from Monster Hunter (the video has been removed for copyright infringement), calling into question the choice to have actor Jin Au-Yeung (also known as rapper MC Jin) make a reference to a World War II-era chant targeting people of…

Sounds like a good choice. It would have been impossible to do a season for each book, I just don’t see how they could pad out the absolutely nothing that happens in some of the later books into a full series. Then again, Jordan managed to stretch out that much nothing into thousands of pages. I don’t think I could…

With every episode more and more I keep going back to that rumour that Disney was terrified they had killed the golden goose with the one two punch of Solo and Rise of Skywalker. To the point that they were planning a creative hand off to the people who are now running The Mandalorian which lets be honest IS Star Wars …

Absolutely loved the episode, it totally lived up to the hype for me. The best Disney Star Wars moments have, hands down, no debate, come from Filoni and Co. Clone Wars, Rebels, and Mandalorian have all contained far better stories and characters then the Disney trilogy, which is crazy. Disney got what they wanted…

“I wish they’d had the courage to continue with what it set up.”

The issue for me was that when Luke saw that his nephew had misunderstood his actions, and had turned evil as a result, he would go after him. Instead he sulked. Luke is the guy who could see the good in Darth Vader, but not his own nephew? It didn’t fit the character. Maybe it’s a “real” reaction but these are heroes…

You’ll find plenty of comments on this website from people (including the io9 writers themselves) who have a problem with villains and villainous acts being depicted in any form in fictional works. 

That’s a dangerous opinion to express out loud because people will howl over it, but from where I’m sitting, I’m old enough to remember when nobody knew or cared about the private lives of the people who created their media, and media criticism was purely about the work and not a moral referendum on whether the…

What Twitter left doesn’t realize is that the collective outrage directed at her has no bearing in the real world. They’re going after Rowling with the same fury they would Trump, a man who not only actively encourages white nationalism, but fawns over dictators and authoritarians, orders protestors be gassed so he…

Not quite. Agnosticism deals with knowledge. Atheism deals with belief. Atheism is not, as you state, a belief that there is no God. It is simply the lack of belief that there is:

By that token, we’d have to be agnostic about everything, reserve judgement and be respectful and “open-minded” about even the most ludicrous claims, because there’s no such thing as 100 % certainty in life.

How so? From what I saw, his character designs and ideas were pretty close to that of the show. There was enough similarity to be similar to an initial pitch for the show, IE what the show creators would take to the execs before getting the go-ahead for the show.  Also similar to a writers’ bible - guide for the…

This criticism seems misplaced to me. Neither the Mr. Warburton interview nor the AV Club post have taken the angle of “Check out what wild and crazy things Anne Heche is up to now!”

“I think Strange New Worlds, under the guidance of Henry Myers and Akiva Goldsman, is going to be a return, in a way, to TOS. We’re going to do stand-alone episodes.”

What the hell porn movie do you live in?  lol

So... let me start by saying that having homosexual characters in cartoons (or anywhere else) isn’t (or shouldn’t) be a problem. It’s the idea that there should be ... hm ... how to put this.

No. It’s 100% on point. The films are often too focused on pew-pew space battles and big-budget VFX...often to the detriment of what makes Star Trek, well, Star Trek — exploration, character relations, the human condition, etc, etc.

Yep. And it’s truly incredible how many people seem to take his shit so seriously and so personally.

Now all of a sudden, character matters? or is this yet another example of character mattering only when there is dirt to be discovered?. So we, the public, shouldn’t fully enjoy, celebrate, or appreciate the creators work in Ren and Stimpy because the person who created it was a creep - is that the message? Where…

Let’s be honest, the first two seasons of Discovery were patchy at best. There was some good ideas at times, but it was let down by asinine plotting, inconsistent characterisation and overwhelming feeling that they were making it up as they were going along.
