On the one hand, yeah, this is just some dumb venting by a celeb that has no effect on any of this whatsoever. On the other hand, I’m so fucking tired of a bunch of ancient, privileged, hypocritical jurists twisting legal doctrine through bizarre pretzel logic to prove there’s actually nothing unconstitutional about

Not to give Mulvaney a hard time; I like her (as much as I can like anyone who calls herself an “influencer”, anyway). But expecting any corporation to behave morally and decently when it might impact profits is pretty risky, and expecting a public corporation to do so is utter fantasy. Boards of directors have only

Yeah, but Sears is ok, now, right?

No one’s repainting the Mona Lisa here. It’s a video game, and the very minor edits in question had nothing whatever to the story (to the extent that fighting games have story). This is fine and good.

i dont know who these people are but i trust James Gunn enough. plus it doesnt matter as long as the movies good.

More to the point, Cobie Smulders has been underserved by the entire entertainment industry.

*Advanced reviews however are saying the “Fake rumors” are .....true.*

Not hard to imagine, as we have examples. For example, the black woman who fired a warning shot (hitting no one) and got 20 years in prison.

a very unlikable replacement woman

This is a truly terrible take. You’re aware that most movies aren’t made because fans specifically called for a certain plot to be made, and the filmmakers just do it, right? That’s idiotic. And PWB is incredibly likeable in everything I’ve ever seen her in. Sorry your action heroes can only ever be men. Must be a sad

Troll says what?

I was surprised how much I enjoyed it, although I wished for more Sasha Calle.

How sure are we that that’s even the reason? What was the last DCEU movie to make real money? BvS? The ones from the post-pandemic era have been busts. Gunn’s suicide squad made like 200M, Birds of Prey around the same. Black Adam cracked 300M. Shazam made 133 M worldwide, HUGE bust.

wow thanks for ruining this movie for me

yeah but I suspect people screaming about statutory is just part of your everyday life

Despite what certain people would have you think, people won’t think you’re a weird misogynist incel for shrugging off a movie like, eh, it was pretty mediocre and not for me. This goes for The Last Jedi and the Ghostbusters reboot, too.

I canceled mine 2 months in advance, it didnt cancel, they charged me for the next year then acted like they could not refund or fix the problem. After getting elevated to a specialist, he noticed I had my cancellation in place early and was “confused” on why it auto renewed (even though I had renew OFF). I went on to

Mediocrity is a perfectly reasonable reason to not like a movie. If you think the actor’s performance was bad, also valid. However not liking a move because the lead is a “woke bitch with a flat ass” is not OK. 

This is made more complicated by the fact that James Gunn has never made a movie as successful as Aquaman”.

See now, THIS is how you handle a terrible situation like recasting Roiland due to his horrible behaviour. A great new actor who has ample geek credit, a ridiculous in-universe explanation, a voice that is comically completely different and a cheerful fuck you to anyone who has a problem.
