It could be. See also Rutger Hauer (Roy Batty) dying in 2019 -- the same yesr Blade Runner was supposedly set.

I cannot think of a single memorable female role in any of those movies...

I feel like the “James Bond should be a woman!” folks have zero interest in actually watching a James Bond movie, regardless of the character’s gender.

The problem I have with Brocolli saying things like “I believe in making characters for women and not just having women play men’s roles” is that she has been producing films since 1995 and I cannot think of a single memorable female role in any of those movies bar Judi Dench’s M

Yeah, exactly. I never thought this was a particularly sticky question. If he was Captain Vader it wouldn’t be weird to call him “Captain.” Certainly plenty of people call Leia “Princess” with varying degrees of familiarity.

Cue “When Somebody Loved Me”, to shots of Lola under Leia’s bed, forgotten.  

I sure hope so. I named my 2-month-old baby Vecna and I don’t wanna be sorry.

season 2 is the worst of the bunch, 3 is an improvement and if they stick the landing 4 is the best since 1.

My brother and I still randomly look at each other and say “Forty-three thousand eight hundred and ninety five... sheep...” if we’re really tired.

I didn’t see it mentioned but the Sesame Street moment that freaked me out the most was when the Count slept over Bert and Ernie’s and kept Ernie up all night counting... they did something to Ernie’s eyes that terrified my 5 year old self!

It’s priceless that those sounds came out of something that looked like this. Bit of overkill, and I’ve never seen an inanimate object express embarrassment before.

In a lot of these cases I think Disney may have been wrong to object, but they were totally right about why there were objecting. Like Alex Hirsch was really innocent of the knowledge of all these double-entendres. C’mon.

On the other hand, they objected to “crud”?

I mean, weren’t “moron” and “idiot” words used to refer to mentally challenged people in the past? So if you wouldn’t say “retard,” it follows . . .

Oh, I suppose he thought it was “inconsistent” and “weird” and “monumentally fucked up,” to hook up with Brienne only to immediately dump her and run off and die in a pile of rubble with his toxic sister-lover, thus negating his entire arc?

Asha in the show was an example of the writers assuming the opposite, as she’s straight in the books.

There’s not actually much in the text to suggest that Arya is queer. The only argument to be made there would be the fact that she likes wearing pants and fighting, which would be reductive given we also have Brienne who does both of those things and also clearly likes men.

I’d love to know where Maisie got this idea. You can knock the writers for this misunderstanding but communication is a two way street. And confirmation bias isn't only a thing that people I dislike do. I love Maisie, Arya, and LGBTQ+ folks. I don't get this idea about Arya at all.

I’d be surprised if they don’t already know the answer, but if they really believe it might be related to porn, then that’s probably why they haven’t googled it.

There’s a great anecdote in Bruce Campbell’s memoir If Chins Could Kill about how some office workers came to Sam Raimi with a screenplay, he grudgingly agreed to read it as a favor to some fellow aspiring filmmakers from Michigan, and it was the screenplay for Blood Simple.
