Jesus. Reasonable points that devolve into a trump induced meltdown.
- The idea that China engineered COVID as some kind of weapon and deliberately set it loose is insane
China is obviously our rival and borderline enemy, but it’s also wrong to ignore that the “Kung Flu” “Wuhan Bug” racism is the GOP being the cat’s paw for Putin. The fact that Ron Johnson gets intelligence briefings is pretty incredible.
Unfortunately it might be the only thing that would work in US which we should never do obviously. We’d never have a government and population willing to try as hard to contain it as New Zealand.
Yes, taking the infected away from their families and placing them in internment camps until they recover is a really effective way to handle a pandemic. Not an option in a democracy.
Yup. That’s why I specified which point I was criticizing: “Regarding hiring comedy writers from Korea.” I didn’t say or imply that it was hard to hire appropriate Asian-Canadian writers.
Yeah, where are you gonna find, I dunno, three or four Korean comedy writers in all of Canada? I mean, that’s gotta be impossible. And in 2016, there were about 34,000 Koreans in Toronto alone. You think you can find more than one writer in that group? Ha! Hell, the guy who wrote the original play was probably the…
Since its vaguely related ( an Apple show) but not recapped here (neither is lasso... why??? There are a lot of just terribad shows being done here )
I think I would be more annoyed with it if we didn’t have so much MCU content stacked up on the back half of this year. Black Widow will be out before Loki finishes, and then we still have Eternals and Spiderman before the end of the year, so I’m pretty sated. I’d probably love 10-12 episodes of Loki, but then I’m not…
honestly I thought the opening scene did a good job of encapsulating older immigrant attitudes/language? Like, watch the Ramy episode where the mom becomes an Uber driver (also the whole thing, if you haven’t already) - *whew* she says a bunch of offensive stuff, including when she tries to be accepting, and while…
funny how no one does this analysis when 30% of the population, but 70% of a writers’ room, is white men
Call me cray cray but...this doesn’t seem like something where more attention needs to be paid? The site is broken. They don’t know that by now? More complaints need to be made before something is done?
They’ll get around to it one of these days. I mean it’s only a major part of the functionality of their already piece of shit platform.
Thanks for bringing that up. I was going to bitch about it in “Reasonable Discussions” last week, but there was no “Reasonable Discussions” post last week.
Honestly, dirtside, the more people complain (ahem, complaints can be directed to tips@avclub.com), the more attention is paid.
A lot of people confused about how complex continuity (like comics) works. I think it’s just willful ignorance about how comics universes work. These aren’t really mysteries, just look at how Marvel and DC comics have worked since, say 1980. There’s no master plan. Things happen organically within in the bumper rails…
