Apparently, you didn’t read where I said that Luke Skywalker was set up over the course of multiple films. That’s okay, basic English is hard!

As for Luke Skywalker. Yeah, his backstory isn’t that great. But it doesn’t need to be. In the first film he’s almost exclusively an above average pilot. While being a strong…

You do realize that there’s a fundamental difference between the main protagonist and a supporting cast-member, right?

The main protagonist of a story generally gets the most focus, and therefore they need more of a set-up. You can’t just throw them into a story and say, “hey, look, this character is a badass!” and…

Ahh, broad brush-strokes, I knew we hadn’t seen the last of you!

Alright, how about this then. Rey’s a freaking bad character and would be a bad character even if she was male. Her personality is bland, her backstory is essentially nonexistent, and she goes from nobody to complete bad-ass in essentially zero time with…

The RNG in trading card games is an intrinsic part of the gameplay. They force people to experiment with different builds and to trade with others to further flesh out your deck. The same simply can’t be said about loot-boxes in video games. There, they’re tacked on purely as a form of monetization, without adding…

It’s worth noting that the 2nd and 4th infographic are complete bullcrap.

Oh, I’d agree. The filmmakers couldn’t seem to get a single detail right. Even the rotation of the ship in relation to the spin-gravity wasn’t right, and that’s simple centrifugal force.

That said, while a science advisor is probably the best way to do it, it’s still a good idea to hire somebody who actually understand…

Yeeeah. The really weird thing is that the effects and acting were mostly fine. So if it had a better-written script that actually made sense, it very well could’ve been great!

But on top of the human element being a bit off, absolutely none of the “science,” made sense. Normally, that wouldn’t be a big of a deal. I…

Yeah, now you just have to choose between charging your phone and listening to music. 9_9

Seriously, they may be old tech, but using them had almost no impact on the phone in terms of added space or complexity. It doesn’t make phones any lighter, cheaper, or even impact the battery life in a major way. For the…

There are no racist undertones. As I explained earlier, in depth, there is nothing inherently racist about finding an odd sounding accent funny. The human mind is trained over the course of our lives to associate the words we know with certain sounds. It’s how we can recognize what’s being said even in environments…

Gonna respond to both here.

Yes, the original swastika is still in use in some eastern countries. I’ve seen it used on maps to mark the locations of certain kinds of buildings and such. They’re also often used as decor inside Buddhist temples as well. Seriously, this isn’t exactly obscure information. If you’re all…

You do realize that swastikas’ are used extensively in Asian countries as a holy symbol, right?

That particular imagery predates Nazi Germany by a large margin, and it was not considered a hate symbol in western society until it was used EXTENSIVELY for that purpose. Not only can the same not be said for Ugandan…

Appearently you can’t comprehend plain English, so I’ll repeat myself.

Ahh, Gawker’s affiliates just can’t help being obnoxiously idiotic, can they?

1: Most people using this Meme don’t know where the voice clip came from.

2: Most people certainly don’t know it’s Ugandan.

3: For most people, this is a silly in-joke about an oddly drawn Knuckle’s speaking oddly. That isn’t racist. I don’t…

I’m not arguing that the direct market model isn’t a failing dinosaur. What I’m arguing is that characters have to be likable, and storyline’s have to be GOOD, or else people don’t have a reason to tune in. Plus, and this should be obvious. Simply sticking a minority status sticker onto a character, doesn’t make them…

Yes, but it still sold very poorly, far under Marvel’s expectations. When all their sales are in the toilet, which turd is at the top doesn’t mean all that much. XD

(Pardon for the crude language. I couldn’t think of a better analogy.)

This statement is ludicrous and entirely divorced from reality. Those comics starring straight white men are by a huge margin still their best sellers. What’s more, these characters actually market very well toward minorities. Steve Rogers, Peter Parker, Bruce Banner, these characters are well liked universally, in…

Sadly, there’s some real truth in that statement. Le-siiiiiigh.

Yeah, but sales have declined a metric ton since then. Even Marvel’s flagship characters aren’t selling comics like they used to. So they can’t just keep a series going and hope it turns around anymore.

Back when they had more leeway, keeping a few stinkers around made sense. Occasionally somebody creative would turn…

I’m sure the fact that almost all of these were horrifically bad had NOTHING at all to do with this. Nope, nothing at all. 9_9

“Oh, you’re just butthurt cause the new doctor is a woman!”

Spoken like a true dimwit. No, I’m unhappy because instead of hiring new writers and taking the series off in a new and interesting direction they went with an entirely superficial stunt designed to appeal to those people out there obsessed with gender studies.
