I just noticed that this article links to a complete script for Game of Thrones #67, which had oddities other than what happened to Viserion. For example the script includes a quote from Robert Burns’s “To a Mouse”

Aye, brother. I myself am a university professor. This occurs so often; very similar to the cases presented in this blog post. I’ve so often reiterated that the sentence structure that people who write for a living use is blatantly divergent from that of a university pupil, yet there are still those who posit that one…

My university posts the results of academic misconduct issues that make it to the tribunal level (with names redacted, of course). There was a dude who was busted for plagiarizing a thesis; he probably would’ve gotten away with it, but it turned out he had plagiarized the prof’s husband’s paper.

I can beat you, someone handed me a plagiarized, translated copy of a chapter of one of my master theses. How he thought I wouldn’t notice is beyond me.

Yeah, it’s structured like someone trying to copy a college essay but changing the text a little bit.

It’s funny - I was actually looking back through Filip Miucin’s other reviews to see if I could find other examples of plagiarism, but they’re all so full of cliches (“The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim still holds up as one of the most immersive virtual worlds ever created in a video game”) that it’s impossible to tell.

I dunno if the consensus is that he sucks now, but like a lot of the stuff from the early-mid ‘90s Marvel there does seem to be a general agreement that the character has aged badly. (Huge disclaimer: I hardly read any Marvel stuff in the ‘90s.)

The Court of Owls?

Yeah, IIRC Rice wanted a “serious” actor like Daniel Day-Lewis or Jeremy Irons. I could actually see Irons taking the part, though he would have been too old, even in 1994. Day-Lewis, on the other hand, probably never would have remotely considered it. If you’re doing Forster and Wharton adaptations then Anne Rice is…

There was a brutal war between Punchy’s people and the species of anthropomorphic pitchers of which Kool-Aid Man was a member -- the sole surviving member, now. It is a sad tale from which we could learn many truths — sweet, refreshing, somewhat powdery truths. It is still told today in the aisles of our supermarkets…

Mantlo also suffered from Claremontitis, in that the only way he could keep telling stories was to make the characters suffer endlessly. The series became a lot less fun after Argon was taken over by Karza again and turned the Microverse into a hellscape.

The Brimstone Dimension is another, but it’s a ridiculously specific one: it’s the dimension Nightcrawler and other mutant teleporters, who were created by the demonic mutant Azazel, were originally from.

That’s “people still mak[ing] the assumption that women are not and cannot be powerful”

I think the reason (for better or worse) that a woman hadn’t headed a big budget superhero film is the assumption by producers that moviegoers didn’t want to see a powerful female protagonist and therefore wouldn’t pay to see the movie.

I like that your headline blames apple, when didn’t you guys, like a few weeks ago, have an article making fun of congresspeople for being mad that google pulled data from wikipedia?

....yes, it’s almost like all of those photos were mimicking something.

Yep that looks pretty realistic. Now all it needs is a uni, lots of constant building of uni accommodation, and locals bitching endlessly about students while being served at the bar by students.

Also? I don’t think he’ll ever get the recognition he deserves for it, but this was one of his finest performances. And I say this as someone who has loved his voice acting over the years and think he’s a tremendously underrated talent. He brought so many layers of emotion to every line that I could not pay attention…

Yeah, we know. Trump was elected because racist people want to keep being racist and celebrate racist people.

“If you’re scared of clowns, it’s probably thanks to....”
The fact that they are monsters who start their day hiding who they are by painting ghoulish false smiles on their faces, like the pleasing camouflage of a woodland creature luring in prey, and who, at best, love to invade the personal space of children in order…
