This is 5 years after RotJ. Exactly 45 years BEFORE RotJ, Anakin Skywalker was born.

I wanna be supportive of female scriptwriters and emphasise her importance too, but I think you’re going waaaaay overboard with it. GotG2 was a good, possibly even great, movie. IMO it was actually better than GotG1 (although GotG1 is no slouch either) and is probably the most emotionally moving film in the entire MCU.

Differences between the World of Ice and Fire and the real world:

Jared Leto’s joker laugh sounded like a bad impression of Skeletor.

Tywin was going to let Tyrion live because it would mean he’d get Jaime. That was Tywin’s win condition: killing Tyrion would have given him a certain satisfaction, but seeing his golden boy take his rightful place as his heir was his ultimate prize, and killing Tyrion wouldn’t achieve that.

She didn’t love Tyrion; the fact she was jealous of Sansa doesn’t mean she loved Tyrion.

So you’re suggesting that in an adaptation of the Civil War comics, a theme of “they’re both right and also both wrong” can only possibly be unintentional?

I hope so!

He’s not the villain. He’s not the hero. He’s the main character, through whose eyes we view most of the events. And even that’s a stretch: realistically, Civil War should’ve been called Avengers: Civil War. But as it stands, the main character is Cap. The hero of the movie is T’Challa, as his arc in this movie is the…

Of course I’m free to look like a doofus. I wasn’t waiting for your permission. I enjoy looking a doofus. In fact just the other day I spent a good solid five minutes competing with my brother and his girlfriend to see who could look most like a doofus.

Facebook fucked up the instant they allowed advertisers to target race. There are no products or services that should be treated as racially specific. All the other types of targeting are slimy as well, but racial targeting doesn’t even have a plausible excuse.

I’ll wear what I like, thanks.

You’re assuming the movie agrees with Cap’s position. There’s a reason the climax comes with a revelation that Steve is a gigantic hypocrite and that he knew all along that Bucky was a killer despite tearing the Avengers apart under the premise of proving Bucky’s innocence. There’s a reason Tony says “you don’t…

Civil War became about a different question, but still a political one. It’s about America’s relationship with the UN. Crises crop up in the world, and due to the UNSC having permanent members who can veto, the UN often remains silent (or at least toothless) on the crisis.

If you’re talking about Magneto, WW2 is getting further and further away. Ian McKellen isn’t as spry as his Gandalf years.

Sounds to me like you enjoyed something until your friends told you not to enjoy it, and you obeyed.

I can accept if Batman sometimes sometimes kills people if there’s no other choice available, for example during the Ma Kent rescue he kills a dude who is a split-second from killing her, and so killing that one guilty dude saves an innocent life. My Batman would make the same call, I think. 

The books don’t reveal that Joffrey was behind it; some character CONCLUDE that Joffrey was behind it. Which isn’t the same thing.

It’s called Impostor Syndrome and a lot of celebrities feel this way: like they’re nothing special, they just got lucky, they’re a fraud and any day now they’ll get found out.

Surely at this point you have more faith in the writers at Marvel than that!
