The Iron Bank’s sole purpose (from what I could tell) was to be a deus ex machina to save characters from the circumstances the writers put them into. Cersei’s army gets decimated by the dothraki and a dragon? Here comes the Iron Bank to buy her a new one. Sure, it makes zero sense given that Cersei’s been spending…

Does anyone actually have any evidence to make up the assertion that KD makes the Warriors better? I mean, I instinctively believe it to be true, but the fact is that a warriors squad built around Klay, Curry, and Draymond was already pretty dang impressive, and in the last 32 games they’ve been without him but had…

“Ehhhhhhhhhhh.... We’ve been here before. Loading times go down. Devs take advantage of it, scenes, textures, details, models increase in detail and complexity and loading times go right back up. Its the same cycle we’ve had for years now, and will continue to have.”

There was a whole bunch of nonsensical stuff in here. I cannot for the life of me figure out why the Unsullied (and, to a lesser extent, the Dothraki) would give two shits what anyone asks them to do with Jon and Tyrion, two men who betrayed the Queen that freed them. They CHOSE to follow Dany across the sea out of…

“I mean I got everything I wanted so I’m thrilled.”

I love how io9 had an actual feminist write an article that describes that scene as “one that feels more like someone meting out a diversity cookie than lifting up a group of characters who almost always take a back seat in both the film’s narrative and its marketing”, and yet in this article’s comments section we…

Jesus, mild criticism of the way they handled that scene makes one a mass murdering misogynist?!?! Good lord, chill out pal... 

I was 50/50 that you were a troll or an idiot. Thank you for confirming that you’re just an idiot.

Hahahahahahahahaha.

Ehh, I also noticed things like how the US military (or any modern military) would have been pretty damn helpful in Wakanda during Infinity War (Rhodey took out hundreds of Thanos’ troops with one fly by near that energy shield Black Panther had set up- can you imagine how devastating a couple of M1A1's and F-22's…

This is a single study, with a tiny sample size, with a very limited timeline (honestly, two weeks on each diet is roughly meaningless), that comes to very limited conclusions. I’m not saying we should eat processed foods (it is self evident that they’re not good for you)- but what I am saying is that this study…

What the what? You’re outraged because someone has a personal preference in commentating style that is different than yours? This is practically the very definition of subjectivity- your opinion that Joe Morgan was terrible is not objectively true. You literally psychoanalyzed why a guy prefers Morgan’s style of…

I have a V8, and I find that if I notice my bathroom floor has gotten dusty/furry/whatever, I grab the vacuum and take care of the mess. Takes me less than 3 minutes from noticing it needs to be done to actually having it done. So yeah, it’s dramatically more convenient to just vacuum up little messes and keep my…

I appreciate the snark, but I have the V8 and it’s dramatically better for me than my old $1,000 miehle vacuum was. And I loved the miehle. But the convenience of just grabbing the vacuum and walking around the apartment in 10 minutes to complete the job is definitely worth the completely unnoticeable decrease in…

Deadspin’s whole stance on this issue has been pretty disgusting. The intense focus on seeing an old man get a hand job is bizarre as hell. At least it made some kind of sense when people thought this was a sex trafficking operation, but now that we know it’s just consensual sex work we should all just move on. In any…

What does the quality of his acting have to do with whether or not he’ll get work in Hollywood again? Your arguments are just utter nonsense. 

That’s a pretty hollow point. It’s like saying Chris Hemsworth’s career is over because he’ll never make another movie as big as Endgame. I’d say he’s still gonna be a pretty dang successful and in-demand actor in Hollywood for years, but there is precisely zero chance that he’ll ever make another movie that makes…

I agree with you generally, but Gendry’s comments about season 7 and Dinklage’s comments about how dumb it was to put the women and children in a crypt full of dead bodies can’t really be interpreted as anything other than actual criticism of the show. A lot of the other ones could definitely be interpreted in multiple…

Agreed. Deadspin generally, and I’d say especially Laura Wagner, treat every issue the way an atheist in college treats religion- it’s 100% bad, there is nothing good that anyone religious ever does, and anything that people praise is just a cynical misinterpretation of what’s REALLY going on (I say this as someone…

Exactly. For 7 seasons she was kind of like The Punisher of GoT- she was absolutely brutal in horrifying ways at times, but always against people that had violated some tenant of her morality, and her morality was consistent and predictable. It was her own, but it made sense. The Bells was the equivalent of having the…
