Pupert?

“I didn’t know the word I knew was a slur when I used it as a slur”? That’s his defense? ...He’s got chutzpah, at least.

Am I the only one pissed off that her shirt says Tune Squad and not Toon Squad

can we focus on the important things here people

Breaking news: WoW guilds racist, also water wet, and sun rises in east

It will never stop.

It’s less an issue of bleakness and more an issue of the protagonist flying an airplane directly into a populated office building in an act that’s meant to read as heroic.

Yeah, the ending has had me assuming this story is completely unfilmable for decades.

The quarantine gag is great, but it raises so many stupid questions if you want to play nitpicky nerd. And I very much do.

Is it COVID-23 in the MCU? Tony invented nanotech before he died; how quickly did they get a vaccine out? Is that why Wanda is aware of quarantines despite only having been alive for the last three

I think the etymology is that they were percieved to be in charge. Especially when each level was its own discrete chunk of gameplay, you got the sense that here was a place, here were the dudes working in it, and at the end was the guy who was clearly in charge of that entire level. Ergo, he was the boss of that

Here’s the thing about the sitcom going modern: they’ve already established that tech commensurate to the setting can survive passage into the Hex.

The Court Jester (1955)

One thing I really liked is how subtly they’re showing that everything is coming apart at the seams. In the early episodes, everyone was sincere, everything — the costumes, the effects, the cameras, the screen ratio — fit the time frame, and any deviations were obvious glitches that got quickly corrected.

Now,

Until someone says otherwise, why not?

The toy helicopter that the drone became was actually a toy THANOScopter, it’s canon now, print it

I think it’s an interesting assumption that you immediately decided that nameless doctor was the one who got Snapped. I assumed the exact opposite and that his wife was the one who went. The recently returned are too confused and don’t know how much time has passed; the doctor seems to have grasped the implications

“The authors actually knowing what’s going on and carefully parcelling out clues to keep the audience’s perceptions exactly where they want them over the course of a linear story with a set endpoint makes for a lousy mystery” is certainly... a take, I guess.

One of the most baffling things about Cats to me is that Tom Hooper didn’t seem to actually read the lyrics to any of the songs, because there’s a running gag there that he utterly whiffs, and the gag is this: they’re cats. No, I’m not being an overly-obvious jerk. Hear me out.

Ehh, whadda you know from complaining?

Are they adding just videos of old fireworks shows? Because that’s actually a great idea, you know they have archive footage of all of them and it’d make a neat “series”, especially with the actual shows still on shutdown.

I have never ever understood how people think “a 70 year old billionaire was facing spending the rest of his lifetime not only in prison, but as the lowest of the low, decided he’d had a good run, and checked out rather than suffer that” is a somehow incredible outcome.
