(except that it's written ka-bar)

Counterpoint: nothing really rides on it. People will complain, but they'll go see the next one. People complained about Jurassic World, but you bet jurass they'll all go see the next one.

If it helps, everyone, y'all took a better route than I did. Starting in sixth grade, when we moved and my depression got bad, I just didn't do anything at all and failed all my classes. No one cares if you can pass the tests if you're not turning in homework. And if you're reading Vonnegut during math class and not…

I was being polite! Which biases are you referring to?

He's known for his distrust of nuclear energy, so when they were having the roundtable on renewable energy, he was dismissive of it.

Dial back on the cheese and the creeping personal bias, knock off the roundtables, and it'd be pretty good.

I think I came down on the side of recommend, with a few minor reservations. It's bro-ey, but in a generally good natured way. If you wind up watching it, let me know what you think!

A strong female character drives the plot, makes decisions for themselves, and exists outside of their relationship to the male character. It doesn't mean physically strong or tough.

You're not wrong, but I don't think it's the commentariat. Pretty much everywhere is like this right now.
I mean, on the internet. I'm not going outside. It's hot out there.

Hang on to that feeling.

I assume everyone's seen Adam West's phonebook joke? Good.

Of course I have, but it boggles my mind that you think XMen is sufficient gay representation. Brokeback Mountain was better gay representation. Know why? They kissed! They were gay!

Have you seen 4th Man Out, over on Netflix? I couldn't decide what I thought of it.

Okay, the sky is orange, and I'm going to go write a gay train heist western.

you asshole, I hate myself for giggling at this.

…Joss Whedon wrote the part you mention. A straight fella.
I don't know why you're arguing this. I gather you love the XMen movies, which is great. They're awesome! But they can exist in a world that also has a same-sex Shakespeare adaptation and a gay Fast and Furious (wait…). An expanded LGBT+ selection wouldn't…

I didn't mean that Wonder Woman was 'adult', I was using it as an example of what happens when an underrepresented population suddenly gets a dose of representation. Women everywhere went nuts!
We are both in agreement that allegory can be used for adults and is a valid artistic choice, and also that we'd like to see…

But even that's "sky is orange" because Bryan Singer didn't write the damn thing himself! A buncha Jewish geeks wrote it in the 60s!
Hey, would anyone watch a bisexual heist comedy?

I…have not seen Wonder Woman, which I assume is what your comment is about, otherwise I have lost this thread.

This was never the point, though. The point CGI Pinata tried to make is that there aren't many gay stories coming out of Hollywood. This is true regardless of XMen.
ETA: And sure, but that was like ten years ago, and now it's just a weird cutesy thing for slashfic girls to fawn over. Let's make the standard man/man…
