This will not fly here in Philadelphia. Or for that matter, survive.

Given the staggering incompetence and ever-increasing cost of human food prep delivery (monetary cost, disease-risk cost thanks to employers who wouldn’t give a paid sick day to someone with Ebola, never mind Covid-19, all the cost), I for one welcome our new robot food prep overlords.

Those Boston Dynamics killbots…

The cure is worse than the disease!

It’s also unclear if dining in will increase the spread of COVID-19

I have my mom’s classic rolling pin and sometimes I don’t use the handles and sometimes... I do!

While I understand that your first exposure to a rod style rolling pin may have been in France, I would hesitate to call them french.

*except when you have to actually store this beautiful torpedo ...

there’s never been any such thing as a young alan moore.

Yeah, but it would if the female character felt more central instead being literally present to be there that empowered character who doesn’t really seem to be central. And the black character is there to help the white guy to become a superagent.

This is basically Vaughn’s version of Resident Evil/Underworld. A franchise that’s developed enough of a fan base that they can be dependably churned out every couple of years for a paycheck, while everyone else kind of shrugs or gets confused with a “they’ve made x number of films in this franchise?!?”

“Darwin’s ability is he can adapt to literally anything to survive.”

He has a cameo in the film as himself complaining about unfaithful adaptations of his comics. It makes no sense whatsoever for the plot or time period, but you just don’t say no to comics legend Alan Moore.

The whole scenario bothered me terribly. It also bugged me because the actor playing Darwin was one of the more charismatic team members. And as a fanboy, it was a huge missed opportunity. Darwin’s powers are “adapt to survive”. In my head canon, he should have transmuted into Havok’s energy beam and burst out during…

Oh, I remember being deeply uncomfortable at the end of X-Men: First Class when it was literally all the good white guys staring down the assorted collection of villaneous minorities. After killing off the only black guy in the movie and setting it in the 1960s.

Don’t forget that they brought back not one, but two white guys back from the dead.

Matthew Vaughn is an adept and talented genre/action director, but it really bothers me how disposable women and characters of color are in his movies. X-men First Class, where all the major female characters end up naked or in lingerie at least once and where the black characters either die or turn villain, is the…

Because Rasputin-Alan Moore is an immortal sorcerer.

oh boy a prequel, an origin story, those are the best

So this does not reflect at all the quality of the film, but I keep laughing that their decision for a follow-up on Kingsman 2, where they killed off the only competent female agent off-screen, made the African-American female agent borderline useless and had the Latino agent be a traitor, well sort of, is this. I…

I’ve no interest in the film, but can anyone explain to me why there’s a picture of a very young Alan Moore at the top of the article?
