it doesn’t abandon the goal of peaceful integration at all. Far from it. Creating a nation recognized by the rest of the world, is a smart way to make It so the rest of the world has to acknowledge mutants, and their rights. Krakoa gives them borders that can’t easily be accessed. So they can avoid another genocide at…

Finally, collective bargaining rights can do what they were made for: bringing back Disqus (or the systems before it).

THE AV CLUB NEEDS DISQUS

I love El, but that sounds like it could have been from just about anything he produced before RTJ.

Welcome to hell. Those of us from the other parts of the GMG realm have dealt with this for years. Despite reading a lot there I never commented on AV Club’s old site, but I know going from there to here is like being knocked out and then waking up in an underground dungeon next to some guy named Larry who says you’re…

Seriously. Kinja is such dogshit. Why did they switch?

The AV Club switching to Kinja has done more to keep people from discussing Netflix shows then anything Netflix has done themselves.  

Yeah. The lack of threading also makes it really hard for people who come across the conversation later to keep up and/or jump in.

I’ve been coming here since the early aughts. Over time more and more content has become political in a not-terribly-sophisticated way. Like MTV’s embarrassing political slant in the 90s but more Woke. As I’ve gotten older my tolerance for cookie-cutter snark and hawt takes has plummeted. I got an onion on my belt,…

Kinja sucks ass

Ooh, look at the fucking big brain on morley here...

I feel like lately, on this site, the comments section has had a lot of acrimonious spats where two people are just sniping at each other from two opposing viewpoints. But one of the reasons I started reading AVClub ~10 years ago is that people generally had the same viewpoints as me, and were decent in the comments.

Yeah he’s good in that and it’s a good movie.

I actually liked him in Shoot ‘Em Up. He nails the combination of cartoonishly evil but also kind of pathetic and cowardly.

We at AV CLUB like ourselves and would like to offer this exercise in self-aggrandizement and present the stories we feel earned gold stars for us as recognized by us, never mind it’s our job to write at a certain level of quality and professionalism irrespective of the fact the amount of people reading them fell so…

You should have included the final announcement regarding the switch to Kinja wherein Sean O’Neil, the other editor and the (especially) Kinja techs became increasingly belligerent and dismissive of the commenters’ concerns. With the Kinja techs eventually admitting that user experience isn’t their concern and that it…

Meanwhile, Trump signed the Tax Scam today instead of after December 31st. Why does this matter? It triggers automatic ‘pay as you go’ cuts to Medicare and a host of other programs that the GOP doesn’t actually want to cut with this bill, because immediately gutting the safety net to pay for a 1% Christmas Miracle is…

I know you only implied Tolkien was racist, but I cannot help but defend him a little. I do not have my copy of Tolkien’s Letters on hand wherein he addresses the accusation concerning orcs and racism, but I can show you a quote from a letter he wrote to a German publishing company inquiring into a german translation…

“There’s boring, there’s bad, and then there’s ‘Bright,’ a movie so profoundly awful that Republicans will probably try to pass it into law over Christmas break,” David Ehrlich of IndieWire
