Judging by events in The Defenders, Misty Knight will be becoming more superheroic very soon. In Luke Cage Season 1 she also has a very interesting character arc that examines her attitude towards being a cop whilst also being a black woman who doesn’t trust the system to do the right thing, and her struggle to…

The main thing you need to remember is that Marvel now LIES in the trailers. Things they show in trailers? Yeah... those shots are edited to omit or alter stuff so that you don’t know what’s gonna happen in the movie. Key scenes happen in COMPLETELY different locations than shown in the trailers, dialogue is altered…

3 and 4 are addressed by the fact that this was not a simple mind meld, but a katra imprintation. The question you need to ask yourself is what kind of near-fatal injury to Burnham could possibly have necessitated a mind-meld of any description in order to heal it, let alone any kind of katra transfer?

Yeah eventually studios realised any action movie could “have it all” and there was plenty of room in an action movie to fit in themes and metaphors and poignancy. The Matrix was an action movie about Descartes’s “evil genius” and the nature of reality. And IT MADE BANK.

Yeah compared to Ancient Aliens it’s positively educational. They even usually give you tips on how to distinguish between fraudulent artifacts and genuine ones, for example in this episode the expert looked for the Prop Number tag which would’ve been a dead giveaway if it had been absent.

I feel like DS9 and ENT managed the balance perfectly. Some episodes were self-contained, whilst others revolved around an ongoing storyline, namely the war with the Dominion, the various Cardassian intrigues, the Xindi attack and the Temporal Cold War. Archer’s relationship with the Vulcans and the Andorians…

I think the general idea he’s trying to convey is “Avengers Tower is displayed where it is in the movies for the sake of visual consistency but we don’t really wanna be TIED to a location. Let’s just say the Avengers Tower is somewhere in New York and leave it at that”.

Now I’m weirded out that Tarantino has always worked with the Weinstein Company and his movies always have fetish stuff in them and in Basterds he stood in for Waltz in the (now in hindsight vaguely erotic) strangulation scene where the actress says she legitimately couldn’t breathe

Yeah Beckinsale’s account made sense, if I were a young actor dealing with a producer who wanted to have a meeting in a room in his robe, before this whole fiasco I’d probably have thought “I guess the stories of Hollywood rich dudes being eccentric are true”, like maybe he just liked informality. It’s one of those…

Dude, I was rooting for you until you turned this corner here. It’s not women’s fault that they get spooked easily when men come on too strongly and unexpectedly. Just like it’s not your fault that you find it difficult to know exactly how to approach women. They are how they are and you are how you are and so long as…

Yes, here’s my quandary: the Prime Material Plane (aka the dimension/planet you play in/on) has two “echoes” called the Shadowfell (referenced in Stranger Things) and the Feywild. The problem is the Feywild is an entire dimension/planet that mirrors the main world but with more colourful/vivid/impressive flora and…

That’s the one thing that struck me about ToA: the intro seems to assume you’re not FROM Chult unless you have the “Outlander” background. The “default POV is non-Chultan” is a presumption that does really make it unsurprising that no black people were directly involved in developing it.

I could be wrong but after some brief googling it seems that Chult is not the only “African” nation in the Forgotten Realms setting: that entire peninsula is. Well, I SAY peninsula, but after the Spellplague it’s broken off and become an island. The nation of Samarach, for example, is a hermit nation walled off by…

In the interests of encouraging WotC towards the type of stuff you like, I think it’d be helpful to maybe write an article on the community-written adventures on the DM’s Guild that exemplify the sort of innovation you advocate. WotC have started a program where they publish selected adventures by community writers…

Cocaine is a hell of a drug

Unfortunately this is a fact and people always wind up disappointing you.

The thing about elves in Middle Earth is that they don’t age

Masterclass in sarcasm right here, I love it

So basically you want Dexter Morgan?

Guys are del Toro and GRR Martin related or something?
