Preachy how?

I think you misunderstand:

I still don’t understand all the Marvel hate. Everything is still enjoyable and entertaining. I don’t need to think 5 layers deep when it comes to being entertained.

Not entirely.

She got her dad’s cheekbones. Literally, he cut them out of his face and inserted them into hers.

No one on earth gives a shit about your judgmental opinions on others looks

I own the original game. And I have to be perfectly honest, it took me more than a decade to understand what the “colonists” and overall setting was implying.

“Seems like the entire point of the game was obviously to comment on colonialism right?”

Yeh doesn’t work that way. Specific teams are brought together for specific shows. You can’t just invent a new show whole cloth and shift everyone.

I mean, it’s still good that the entire production team doesn’t lose their job simply because Roiland is an asshole. They signed contracts for more seasons, so those people planned based on that.

Owls have very small brains. Their eyes take most of their skull’s space. All in all, they’re not really smart, even for a bird.

Lindsay Ellis has an excellent three-part YouTube documentary on the subject (A Long-Expected Autopsy, Battle of Five Studios and The Desolation of Warners), although it doesn’t quite cover all the bases and, for legal reasons, there’s a few logical conclusions that can easily be reached but she doesn’t spell out.

I don’t like a character less or more depending on how close it resembles me, I don’t f***ing care if it is a man a woman whatever in between, black, white, hispanic, asian, robot, blob, etc

So you’re a straight white dude and representation has simply never been an issue for you. You just take it for granted that almost everything will cater to you, whether it’s market research or not.

And what is it when someone forgoes sarcasm entirely and just calls you a coward and a lickspittle directly to your face?

Wow so brave

Ultimatum was not representative of the Ultimate universe as a whole at all. That’s why it pretty much tanked the the whole line and many of the remaining readers left in droves, because Loeb just killed off half the characters for shock value in a nothing story. Ultimate X-Men and The Ultimates were certainly trying

The Ultimate Universe was mainly stuff not like that at all. If nothing else, the vast majority of comics published in the imprints various forms *were* issues of Ultimate Spider-Man. Ultimates 3 was notorious for being Jeph Loeb ineptly attempting the kind of shock tactics Mark Millar had a much better handle on (for
