I can’t wait for the people who complain that having openly gay characters in a fantasy medieval setting isn’t “realistic”.

That wouldn’t be the worst way to go, except it means another season of The Hand as major antagonists. That also wouldn’t be terrible, so long as Madame Gao is brought back too; as she is 100% the best thing about The Hand. Her and Nobu, but he dead.

By that logic, The Good The Bad And The Ugly is “filler” since it’s a prequel to Fistful of Dollars and therefore we know Clint’s character will survive.

As opposed to the others, which don’t?

I think the problem people have with the whitewashing in Death Note but not the “yellowwashing” (if we’re using stupid colour metaphors here - after all, white people arent actually white either) in western stories adapted for Japan is that Japan is still pretty monocultural so a character in a Japanese show being…

As a kid, it never made much sense to me why the “selecting something at random” poem involved catching a friend of Winnie the Pooh by the toe. When I was told what the ACTUAL wording was, it made no more sense than before.

This is, without a doubt, the whitest thing that has ever happened. Perhaps equally white things have happened in the past. But nothing surpasses this. This is peak white.

Worth noting that Kilgrave’s power came in the form of a virus

I agree with the prevailing sentiment that he’s kind of wilfully late to the social awareness party, but I’m not going to lambast his apparently genuine attempt to decry the white supremacy movement as - late though it may be - it’s still a step in the right direction and punishing positive steps is counterproductive.

Death as a revolving door is certainly a problem, but not when it comes to Jess’s agency. None of us are in control of the world or the actions of others, so taking an action and having it undone by someone doesn’t mean a reduction in agency, it just means you’re being opposed. Loki being revealed to be alive in The…

But it’s OK to write Littlefinger as an ineffectual villain?

What? That doesn’t even make sense. Having people who oppose your actions is not the same as reducing your agency. What would reduce her agency would be if she had snapped his neck not for her own reasons but for someone else’s reasons.

What was that document Arya stole from Littlefinger and why did it look like he wanted her to steal it?

Emerald’s Battle Frontier was my favorite post-game content in any Pokémon game. I wish they’d bring it back.

Don’t bother arguing with people who hate on Penny Arcade. It has absolutely nothing to do with what they find funny or not funny. PA did a joke about dickwolves, Kotaku et al got offended and tried to have PA tarred and feathered, PA refused to apologise, and now there’s a large contingent that have DECIDED that they…

If you say a Jedi CAN’T pull a Star Destroyer out of the sky, you’re undercutting Yoda’s point that size doesn’t matter. In TFU the Star Destroyer sequence is balanced by the fact that it takes an ice age to accomplish, and every time Starkiller breaks concentration (to dodge a TIE fighters fire, for example) the SD…

Jaime and Randyl were the only hostages worth taking in that battle; I think Bronn was trying to ensure that Danaerys didn’t go all “NO SURVIVORS!” on things.

It hasn’t made it to Braavos where it counts. In King’s Landing all Cersei can do is sit on it. To get it safely to Braavos it’ll need to be escorted by Euron, which presents TWO problems for Cersei:

Littlefinger totally got a Baelish Boner watching Arya fight. Sansa might be old hat now.

To be fair, I’m not sure “prehensile hair” CAN be done in live action in a way that doesn’t look jarring. It’s just so alien an idea that seeing it actually in action would be a bit “uncanny valley” in the sense that it just doesn’t look right because hair can’t do that, and nothing that thin can. There’s no way to…
