“Ugly”???!? “Fat”?!?!?

It’s hated because of many reasons.

I’m going to “well actually” this one because Jason’s take whitewashes a ton of problematical shit in the early New Teen Titans comics. Just to be clear, though, I have absolutely zero problem with how they cast the character in the TV show.  I’m not saying any of this to argue that you can’t make Starfire into a…

Some people are simple-minded and think the only thing that can be “between” black and white is “Latino/a”.

White people when white actors are cast for non-white HISTORICAL roles: They just got the best actors!

Because Firefly was overrated lukewarm sub-SYFY Tales of the Gold Monkey?

I think the mere presence of superhuman beings walking around with such devastating powers makes the establishment of a SHRA something to be discussed, without the need for a precipitating crisis.

Exactly. The idea of an honest difference of opinion about registration between Tony and Cap rising to violence makes for a compelling story. I do not know why Millar/Marvel muddied the issue with clone Thors and Negative Zone gulags- it made it much harder to empathize with the pro-registration side and distracted…

Ignorance is pretty triggering. Have you tried not being ignorant?

I’m about to report a serial rapist who I grew up with and once considered a friend, so... as far as I’m concerned, no matter your irrelevant accomplishments, if you’re a predator, you should be held accountable.

Not nobody, but the draw of the leading actor is less and less in movies nowadays. Chris Pratt has been in some hugely successful movies, but the premise always outweighs his star power. The Jurassic and Marvel movie were not dependent on him to be successful. I’m sure he has fans that go see his movies, but…

No, it bombed. Because of promotional costs a movie has to earn double its production costs just to break even. A movie that cost 110 million to make wouldn’t be out of the red until it earned 220 million, instead this movie ended it’s theatrical run 60 million dollars in the hole, which is a very big flop.

I regularly hear people say, “Have you heard about A-lister’s latest movie?” but unless the reply is, “Yes, and it’s awesome!” that doesn’t translate into a box office hit. People are quickly placed on the A-list by a hit but it seems to take quite a few bombs to get them taken off it so I’m not so sure that status…

it was not only a bomb, it was one of the biggest bombs of the year and the biggest bomb of ScarJo’s career. also who are these dumb fucks thinking its still 2009. Star vehicles are dead, its the IP that matters. No one went to see Wonder Woman because of Gal Gadot, they went to see Wonder Woman for fucking Diana…

You say this as if I’m asking for queer folks to never be touched or suffer harm in games. That the kid gloves should remain on and our stories be precious fluff. I hear variations of this argument a lot, like when I wrote about David Cage’s treatment of woman. That’s certainly not the case; many of the stories I’ve…

“If it isn’t a major part of the story then nobody needs to know what gender a character prefers to sleep with.”
Obvious question: Do you think you’re the first person to say these words? (Subtext: How gullible do you think we are?)

It’s not a populist revolution; it’s basically a coup. There’s no indication that the people of Wakanda support what Killmonger is doing (they just seem to be conditioned to go along with whatever the current king wants). And the fact that Everett is CIA is incidental; he’s not in Wakanda at the behest of the CIA (the…

Setting aside that most of these body types are anatomically impossible, even if we take them as an exaggeration of existing types, no. Just no. Most of the movements being produced by these female characters would be agony to a big-chested woman. Despite what men think, jiggling hard hurts. It may look tantalizing…

How about we let Cecillia write the opinion piece she wants to write, instead of trying to force your own personal tastes on her. Not every article has to appeal to every person. If you don’t like it, don’t read it. There are plenty of people that enjoy these articles the way they are.

I think it gets weirder when you get older. I simply cant play the game.
