Well that’s good!

I think The Matrix mostly marketed itself on its striking visuals without talking too much about the story.

And considering the frog DNA, the movie also has really extensive trans representation. (There’s actually a musical about this.)

I’ve been saying this movie sounds like Disney’s Atlas Shrugged for a while now, but I think it had trouble at the box office because the marketing was totally obtuse.

So yeah, I don’t know what’s going on here, but these chapters reference Clawdites (which were invented for Attack of the Clones), Shi’ido (which were invented for Galaxy of Fear, which came out in 1997), and uses the swear word “kark” (which first appeared in a Clone Wars comic).

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Jurassic World’s plot is about a dinosaur furthergenetically modified to be smart: generalized danger just isn’t as fun as a smart villain.

Unless that person from outside the U.S. was also a person of color, or LGBTQ - that complicates issues for them, because they’re receiving certain kinds of representation but not others. Eve

People around the world make their own stuff, too, but they tend to get drowned out by high profile Western media. This means both that Western media needs to diversify, and that media from other places doesn’t get worldwide exposure and isn’t considered as seminal. I would agree that framing these stories as…

Yes he came back and save everyone at the end of A New Hope, after resolving to leave with his money.

Everyone’s complaining about how this could be possible as if no one on this site has ever seen Firefly.

He’s all of that stuff after A New Hope.

Odd. It always seemed evident to me that “diversity” was in reference to representation in the books (or other media) themselves. The author seems to posit that a Latino character would mean less to me because I’m Latino, when in fact the opposite is true. They’re more precious for their relative absence elsewhere.

I think “recent” usually accounts for a pretty big chunk of time when talking about history and science.

I will always miss you, Old Canon.

Pfft.

Damned if he doesn’t look terrifying there, though.

I mean give the man a break he does so many voices in Harry Potter alone I can’t imagine a human being can be capable of many more.

I loved reading these myself, but Jim Dale’s audiobooks for the Harry Potter novels are incredible.

Well yes, but once you start adding more of them it becomes a title for men occupying a position/an occupation.
