The Radiohead version of the Spectre theme is so much better, to my mind...

“Why do people have a fetish for autonomous cars?”

Yup - look, I know there’s a lot of people around here who would piss on Abrams if he discovered the cure for cancer, AIDS and the common cold. He can’t do a damn thing right by them, and I guess that’s OK. If his work isn’t your glass of blue milk, it just isn’t.

Because the prequels sucked. Worse, they completely ignored everything that made Star Wars work. The characters. The mystery. The hints of a larger universe. A universe that looks lived-in. The prequels made everything look brand new, but also small. Every character was connected to the original trilogy, even where it…

What are they burning?

I kind of love that though. Kylo Ren is unlike any Star Wars villain we’ve had in the past, this weirdly impotent, angry young man who is enraged that his legacy, his destiny (the most powerful concept in Star Wars, after all, is prophecy and fate), has been denied to him.

I would love it if Peter had two dates for the dance and had to keep ducking into a closet to change his clothes and would randomly mix up the girls names.

“Guys, college is so fucking awesome. You totally can’t describe it until you get there. My new friends are so cool. I’m hooking up with, like, a thousand girls and I’m wasted from Wednesday through Sunday. And, you also just start to see things really differently and realize how immature you were back in high school.”

“Hi. I’m Kylo Ren. You may remember me from such battles as Starkiller Base and the Jakku Skirmish. But right now, I’m here to talk to you about starship insurance. Whether it’s a freighter or a fighter, a breakdown or a snowy crash, AllGalaxy is there for you when you need them.

It’s still very lovely and warm and friendly, just like seven was.

I’m a let you finish but, Zuck hates black people and this is the best comment of all time.

Ugh...give it a rest.

So stop being a political moron, and stop using diatribe that assumes you have some moral or intelectual authority, because you dont. Stop talking about things that are out of your depth.

This was crossposted to Kotaku as if it were a Kotaku post. As a conservative, I found the video quite hilarious and am not offended in the least. Nothing is wrong with political satire, it goes both ways.

Are you the type of guy that clicks on an ad and expects to still be on that same site? You’d almost think io9 is about gaming instead of sci-fi/fantasy etc. Makes sense considering who you’re defending though...

Wait a sec, there’s no constitutional right to AK lit cigarettes — (nor ubiquitous biscuit memes, for that matter).

Exactly, especially because at this point, noboddy gonna give a fuuuuuuck about Avatar 2.

Many adaptions of Batman actually have him sympathize with the villains more (in TAS he tried to talk them out of their crimes by appealing to reason on multiple instances, and genuinely tried to help some) so saying his plan is to scare everyone is a bit unfair. The idea he purely uses fear is a recent one.

Not to get all Comic Shop guy on you, but Superman is overpowered and has no character arc. Batman, on the other hand may be somethign of a fascist, but he is a Campbellian hero that has to overcome obstacles through sheer force of will. Superman is for little kids that have no imagination, Batman is a morally…
