This is the second time I’ve seen someone in these comments claim the Jedi kidnapped kids. That's just not true.

I think Disney+ has produced enough seasons of Star Wars TV to show that Andor and the first season or so of The Mandalorian are exceptions, not the norm. If Disney+/Lucasfilm focused on good storytelling, I don’t think this article would exist. Instead, we got The Book of Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Yeah. Much to my shame, I don’t have a photographic memory of the events of True Lies, so I’m open to the possibility that there are jokes, comments, etc. in the movie that are inappropriate. But none of those things are described in the article. The author’s objection mainly seems to be that the terrorists in the…

Is it xenophobic to depict terrorists as being Arab/Muslim? The movie came out in 1994, two years after al-Qaeda terrorists killed six people trying to destroy the World Trade Center using a car bomb, and four years after the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole killed 17. Of course, in 1994, the most striking examples of…

“harmful stereotypes of Arabs and Muslims”

should have done 3 seasons and a movie.

What are you talking about?  Harry Potter fans are invested in gender activism and have voted against Rowling with their wallets.  Capitalism truly is a golden path to true equality.  The people have spoken. 

I don’t need RT to tell me that the show is boring, because to me, IT IS BORING. Jesus Christ some of you just can’t accept the fact that people simply don’t like a show and want to throw around words like “racism, incel, bigot” as a way to hide the fact that people just don’t like it.

People do not hate the Acolyte for having a LGBTQ+ PoC woman lead. They are desperate to reframe the hate the show is getting to cover up the fact that the Disney continues to shit on George Lucas’ legacy and the show IS NOT GOOD.

It’s a fanfic thing that online people have forgotten isn’t in the text. They think it’s fun for Mr. Hour Of The Wolf to be gay. 

I read the first half of your comment and suddenly realized...

I’ve re-watched S1 several times in the last ten years, and it’s still my favorite miniseries of all time. I have not re-watched any of the subsequent seasons, nor will I ever re-watch S4. They are just not the same quality of writing, acting, directing, or production. I don’t care who is at the helm, or what sex they…

I found Remake to be boring, pretentious and overblown despite actually accomplishing very little.

My take is Herbert used that as shorthand for desert culture, not that Arrakis is populated by the descendants of Arabic/Middle Eastern Earthlings.

“However there is a jarring disconnect between the words uttered by the film’s characters, many in Arabic or derivations of the Arabic language, and the actors uttering those words.”

Well-deserved and long overdue IMO.

“the game has been held up as a shining example of what the AAA machine should be in terms of creating a huge, high-quality game without microtransactions and other predatory monetization schemes”

I finally watched The Marvels yesterday. It was awful, not quite as bad as Quantummania, but awful nonetheless. In my opinion, mainline Marvel is dead. I’m glad the Spider-Verse films continue to innovate and the Deadpool trailer looked promising but I’m finally throwing in the towel on the MCU (bar Deadpool probably).

Is it worth noting that, given the average weight of an American, “tons of people” is about 23 people.

They were cheaper and you could actually find them. I have yet to see a PS5 just on a shelf at a store. Xbox’s are everywhere.
