What I don’t get is what he was trying to accomplish with the Star of David even if we give him the benefit of the doubt. Is Cronenberg, like, some kinda icon of Jewishness? Are jewellers? Where’s the Star of David coming from in this reference? What does it have to do with anything? Are Stars of David common on store…

I think her point is that she’s very excited to see it released since, like any professional, she’s proud of her work and is anxious to see a project succeed. I don’t think any part of it was an attempt to evoke pity.

That’s not his ultimate goal though. That’s T’Challa’s ultimate goal. Killmonger’s ultimate goal is to conquer the world and run his empire the same way the British ran theirs but with the racial supremacy flipped - this being highlighted by his declaration that “the sun will never set on the Wakandan Empire”, an echo…

I think it’s less of a compromise and more of a successfully realistic thought experiment: everything I’ve ever seen of the world makes me inclined to believe that for every nation, the less defeat they’ve experienced throughout history, the more arrogant and infuriatingly patronizing their culture is. Wakanda is like…

It’s like dating. When you go on a date with a new person, little things get taken as massive red flags. In Nintendo’s case, leaking the info so quickly meant that Netflix had employees that were indiscreet and didn’t take orders from their bosses (such as “don’t tell anyone”) seriously. It’s indicative of lax hiring…

Honestly I think Star Trek is kinda done, and it’s up to some new IP to bring us back to a vision of the future where the human race actually got its shit together.The ST timeline is too fucked at this point; there were no Eugenics Wars in the 1990s and we’re not going to crack FTL travel in the next 40 years. ST is…

And men, as Quicksilver was also closest to Clint of all the OG Avengers. Hawkeye is the guy that gets people to defect to the good guys.

They’re probably saving the High Evolutionary either for GotG3 as Rocket's creator or for the Spider-Woman movie Olivia Wilde is working on.

Part of me doesn't dare hope that Quicksilver is brought back.

If Wanda can’t bring Vision back to life, if creating genuine life, more than mere illusion, is beyond her magic...

The official take is that Keanu gets to say what situations Keanu gets put into.

If they made the tutorials optional (remember how you'd get a message the first time you picked up a type of rupee, every session?) and fixed the motion controls so that they actually work, I might be tempted myself.

Not good enough. The hero-worship will survive that. Maybe if Marvel wrote a few stories with the Punisher killing crooked cops his fandom wouldn’t be so keen on him. After all, the Punisher kills criminals. We all know what implicit message it sends when Frank gives crooked cops a free pass.

Social media. During your younger years it FELT like the fight against racism was being won because when, for example, a show like The Fresh Prince featured a black cast living in a rich neighborhood surrounded mostly by other black people, there was no real avenue for people to tell the world their opinion on it. All…

I’ll never forget being at an office party and having to help a drunk co-worker who we’ll call Mark get home. Another co-worker who we’ll call John helped too. We both got him all the way to his sofa.

Hydra still exist in Ant-Man

It killed a part of my childhood to accept the the Confederate flag was a symbol of hate and not just a cool pattern the Dukes of Hazzard had on top of their car.

I’m more concerned with Marvel’s continued use and portrayal of the Punisher character as a “good guy”. At least when people buy watches with pictures of squids on them, you don’t immediately feel like you have to worry about whether they think cops kill enough people. But when I see people putting the Punisher logo…

2074

I genuinely don’t understand why they don’t do this. It seems like a minor enough investment to simply port an emulator version of the games in a collection on the major platforms, with at LEAST a big enough return that it won’t lose money. And yet they don’t do it. Are they trying to cultivate scarcity? Is there a…
