Yea I’m all for people having choice in their lives but I’m not sure why lawmakers don’t think men have choices.

Like - yes, you do not need to hook up with some guy you don’t want to to have kids. No, guys do not need to give up the goods because someone wants to have children just not with a partner.

Sure he does. He hired the editor. At the end of the day, it’s been weird to see Lucas go from almost being worshiped to being the source of everything that’s wrong with Star Wars. The fact is he isn’t a good director or writer, but he’s a phenomenal visionary. He had the right parts for the OT. He had the wrong parts…

I think the problem is I don’t think the TV “arc” is where Book “arc” was ever going. D&D capitalized on the Internets perhaps overfascination with specific side characters such as Brienne. A lot of what made Book Jamie and Brienne work is Jamie was human, not the total monster we assumed he was.

To some extent I suspect what this will do is make it easier.  By not allowing roles to essentially be substituted they now just need to worry about balancing characters amongst their individual roles and remove any cross-role synergies that break the game.  They will no longer have to worry about an game-breaking …

Wait... People are assholes?!

I wish they’d just implemented role queue a long time ago. Let that freaking Genji and widow main wait 6 hours for their game and let the people who are willing to play supports and tanks get in as many games as possible.

The problem with GOATS was not that it couldn’t be beaten. It was that the amount of effort and precision needed to beat the GOATS comp far exceeded what was required to play a GOATS comp.

It’s also often thought that a judge (just look at the result) may be looked at to deliver a more favorable sentence than a jury, who itself, depending on the circumstances may be expected to become more enraged and overshoot.

‘Eh - I think there’s two extremes here. On the one hand there’s taking a subpar deal because one has verbally committed. On the other, it’s just being wined and dined until someone forces you to sign a contract physically.

I’m not really sure where a lot of these people are getting their info, but in Tennis “at the player” is both a valid and normal thing to do. Yea, no one likes it but you know if you’ve put yourself in a position to get drilled.

So this isn’t an MCU dig, but I think this is part and parcel of Disney/safe storytelling. IF you start getting into finances (like even Raimi did) you start getting into where criminality comes from. If you do that and you’re honest with it, it’s harder to draw clean “good” or “bad” people. It was one of the things…

YEa I think the main problem is the primary Spider-Man fan reaction was he got so much wrong that the baby went out with the bathwater.

Not sure how you figure that. It’s heavily implied May knows who Peter is and simply allows the pretense she doesn’t when she gives advice. Unless she was doing something else that you mean “oblivious” with.

Man... what is so hard that people can’t figure out the following phrase construction is a bad idea.  I mean I knew it in the 90's.  It doesn’t mean everyone paid attention, damn...

My read when I saw it for the first time the other day was that Kawaru was unambiguously interested in Shinji. But I’ve only seen it one time and the timeline for that is so freaking compressed I didn’t really read mutual interest of that kind back.

You know, I see this stuff alot in terms of a lot of fiction. But I think themes or tone tend to be extraordinarily subjective in terms of are they relevant to the viewer or not.

I think what he’s touching on is how people have personal reactions.  I personally felt Walt’s journey was a bit herky jerky myself but I generally don’t fight online about it.

One of the problems of modern criticism, is they took they acknowledged the idea of your lens “framing” your experience, but then never took it the next step past acknowledging it. So often things like Evangelion, MCU, or even Star Wars are judged by an oddball lens where in Star Wars for example, a critic may force a…

The both sides of their mouth thing is really a function of the landscape.

I’m honestly finding the vetting for 2020 outright weird. It’s like no one besides the Russian Government learned anything from that debacle.
