Yes, that’s it exactly. If people are concerned about climate change, it’s not about the future of the planet/our children, it’s part of some corrupt scheme designed to, umm, I guess make someone rich? While poor honest oil companies have to beg on the street? God it’s maddening.

I always thought Mage would make a good movie/series. I feel like I never see anyone talk about it, but I loved it. Otoh, I was in high school when I read it and loved all kinds of terrible things then (*cough*PiersAnthony*cough*), so partly I didn’t really trust my own memory and maybe it’s actually crap.

“But also liberals don’t really “care” about minorities, because who could possibly have concern for any group of people they don’t immediately identify with?”

Obligatory:

Way to completely not read what he said. The fact that you think that when they turn 18 people magically become immune to being preyed upon is what told him all he needed to know.

A agree that it sounded like bullshit, but I still don’t understand *why* they’d want to poke their noses in. Like is it just “hey let’s go fuck with this lady” or “hey an open door and I can hear voices, maybe we’ll catch someone smoking crack?”. Like I’m trying to understand what the cops were *trying* to do (while…

Yeah, it’s kind of like how I guess they are crossing over Watchmen with DC characters I believe - kind of weird to cross a character and their own deconstruction/parody.

I agree. I actually liked that episode fine and I wish it had tied in more to the rest of the season (like I wanted the punks to show up at the 11th hour in the last episode for some kind of begrudging hero turn).

And frankly just less ambitious and much worse. The acting performances on Voyager mostly ranged from “bland” to “actively grating” for me. Janeway was pretty good. The doctor was super entertaining. Nelix made me want to put my eyes out. I never understood the fascination with 7 of 9, which mostly seemed like a…

The original comics of TMNT are not nearly as meta and silly as The Tick (not a knock - I love Tick!).

All caps aside, I think the point was that the Mary Sue accusation can be leveled at least as credibly at Jon Snow (he’s secretly the king! he came back to life!).

That presupposes that absent a dragon the Night King had no way to get through the wall, which the show pretty strongly implies is not the case.

That would be a really ambitious unreliable narrator, and it’s fairly belied by her interaction with Nymeria and her family members. Interesting thought though - I did wish they’d let Arya do something more clever with the face stealing ability in either the fight with the Waif (e.g. give her face to a random passerby…

Well, she turned down the diploma as it was being handed to her...

She has clearly been set up as the greatest assassin in Westros, if not the world – she defeated a world class assassin in The Waif. She murdered an entire house without breaking a sweat and even got to flex about it. If you don’t like that narrative choice, fine, but calling her a “rookie assassin” is just not…

I mean, one of the NAACP leaders came out against it before he had seen it, and upon viewing it walked the statement back to a significant degree.

Sure, but I’m sure it’s more crowded during/after Cubs games - the question is how much more?

Yeah, they do plastic ones at AT&T park.

Evidently you woke up in a world where nobody has ever heard of that movie but you, and you missed your chance to make your own version.
