Crap like this is why I never take any argument about “puritanism” in Hollywood seriously.

Not necessarily. The DGA was basically always going to get their demands (there’s not really a way to replace directors at this point) but they set some precedent and now the SGA and WGA can demand some of the same things with minimal pushback.

Here’s Straczynski saying it was Marvel (read: Quesada) making him change it to Norman.

I’m pretty sure it was Quesada who wanted to “knock Gwen off her pedestal”, not Straczynski, hence why he made Straczynski change the father to Norman.

shut the fuck up.

Don’t forget the sea witch not being evil and the mermaid not even having a name.

Most people don’t care about raceswaps. 

Why not make or boost new fantasy IP with black original characters instead of being patronised with white hand-me-downs.

Do I want to know what Daphne did that is apparently going to get her sent to hell?

It has nothing to do with realism. The old show and several others have done it that way.

I think they just went with this choice because other Transformers media have done it like Cybertron and the recent Netflix show.

So how long before Abigail Cowen gets cast as Skarlet?

Or their 16-year-old son doing their 38-year-old son doing their 38-year-old male teacher.

This looks exciting.

There is no reason to call it Mortal Kombat 1 when it’s the 12th game in the series. 

They gave all of them the same backstory (“I’m the child of an MK fighter and I have parental issues!”) the same storyline (“I’m in the special military forces!”) and the same personality (“I only speak Sarcasm!”)

That's not much of a compliment when those two aren't that popular to begin with.

The animations wasn’t what gave them PTSD. It was being forced to look up videos of dismemberment and execution, which wasn't a requirement for the previous games.

They are all popular.

Ah, CW Nancy Drew. The show that was once thought to be less weird than Riverdale.
