Steve’s gonna need a bigger bat.

The Chopping Mall ... “Where shopping costs you an arm and a leg!”

“...by choosing to attribute Chucky’s demon seed to a disgruntled Vietnamese sweatshop worker disabling a microchip’s protocols.”

I can totally relate, except for me it was buying Cocaine off a friend, and it was only because I was high on Cocaine at the time.

Cumberbatch would make a perfectly decent Dr. Strange if they would just let him use his normal accent. Strange’s nationality was never exactly integral to the character and they’ve made far more radical alterations to other Marvel characters.

He’s already in the Marvel Universe.

I thought we could have a “reasonable discussion,” but I’m not going to argue with a guy who immediately pulls out a bullshit “the whole world is against us” argument and accuses me of supporting terrorism and genocide. Maybe the reason people think the Israeli response is disproportionate is because 10 Palestinians

I feel like you’re just perpetuating the good guy/bad guy narrative that’s a huge part of the problem. You can agree that Palestinian terrorism is terrible and also believe that Israel’s continued encroachment on Palestinian territory and the draconian laws they’ve put in place are also terrible. You can fault

Is one tweet enough evidence to label someone a “huge antisemite”? Call me naive, but I can sort of buy Cusack’s claim that he only meant to criticize the Israeli government for their treatment of the Palestinians. It’s genuinely frustrating that zionists have so thoroughly associated the nation of Israel with Jewish

Mr. Skin cuts out all the good bits and sells them on his own site, and the rest gets sold off to VidAngel as wholesome entertainment.  That’s using all parts of the buffalo right there.  

He’s always going to be that one guy in the first TMNT movie, declaring his LOYALTY TO THE SHREDDA

To be fair, that same point was also made in X2, where Xavier was almost mind-controlled into murdering first the entire mutant population of the planet Earth, then its entire human population.

You don’t really need to keep things straight. Doom Patrol is so self-contained that it’s connection or lack thereof to a broader universe shouldn’t matter at all.

I’m happy for you if you liked it, but the most interesting thing to me about the Onslaught arc was that cover asking “Who stopped Juggernaut?”

Focus on the interrelationship drama. The X-Men are a soap opera above all else, and they’re a family in a more legitimate way than a group like the Avengers are.

Lean in to the civil rights metaphor, and don’t abandon the notion of popping in every decade or so. Each movie should feel like a class reunion where you

It would be a television show.

For those who really want to know.  Onslaught was also a terrible attempt to try to reboot the whole Marvel Universe because the company was going bankrupt.  

That spoiler would have had a lot more punch if anybody gave a shit about this movie.  

Onslaught. This movie should have been Onslaught.

At its heart, X-Men has always been a book about coming of age, relationships, and the difficulties of the team to adapt to all the upheaval their mission brings into their lives.

I was recently re-reading the John Byrne run of X-Men (hence, the Dark Phoenix Saga), and one of the core plot elements is that Cyclops is
