We are talking about fictional deities that are not necessarily the nationality or ethnicity of their real-life counterparts. If it’s okay to cast Idris Elba as Heimdall, which it is and he was totally fucking awesome in the role, it is surely okay to cast an excellent actor of non-Egyptian descent as Konshu,…

Your mom certainly can.

Awesome.

I got strong Mayall vibes from that bit, too.

I’m Team Kong, but we know they’re gonna team up when they find out their mothras have the same name.

It’s a well known historical fact that the last supporters of Louis XVI were the county’s pillow manufacturers.

He has to be shown as doing the right thing but he also can’t actually sleep with Nadine. Since they took his love interest away, the only way to do the right thing is to be ignorant of what she is talking about (or too stupid to figure it out) and turn her down.

Hate to break it to you, but it’s solely to avoid punishment.  They’re going all 11 so they can move HQ from NY to TX.

Though the exact point in time the Disney+ series takes place isn’t spelled out, Monica being an adult is one of the few ways the show concretely establishes to MCU fans that it takes place long after the events of Captain Marvel (where she first appeared as a child).

I think you are too easily dismissing the sudden cancellation.

They’re all just so smug, aren’t they? 

So you’re saying that the Feds get to keep this dude and keep squeezing the shaman?

That’s the vibe I got, but the show never had time to give him a proper character arc, so it was never really called out.

Fight Club is kind of a mess, thematically. The climax is the narrator blowing his own face off to rid himself of Durden, so the simplest reading is that the movie rejects Durden’s approach to life.

But I’ve found that most of the people who really like Fight Club don’t see it that way, and it’s not entirely their…

I mean, Mal is the hero of the show, but he’s undeniably an immature dick, and the show doesn’t shy away from that. He’s not punished for it, sure, but I never got the idea that it was being portrayed as a positive trait.

I would argue that his punishment is that he continues to push Inara farther away when he clearly wants to be with her. I think that’s very clearly (to me) how the show punished him. As I recall the film actually states that he basically drove her off of the ship.

Yep.

Close... Qaste Qot Qete.

he seemed like the opposite of punk.

The animated opening credits in the second episode are delightful. Even better, though, if you slow them down, you’ll notice...
