inconspicuous...I don’t think that word means what you think it means ;)

the Marvel Cinematic Universe usually gives its villains just as much gravitas as its heroes: Loki, Thanos, Killmonger, Red Skull

enough time will have passed where fans will be ok with showing either showing a CGI T’Challa (or just briefly recast) returning from Tony Stark’s funeral and saying something like “Shuri (or whoever became Black Panther during the Blip), you have done such a good job as Monarch and Black Panther that I am leaving you…

Hey, real talk: how much longer is it going to be until we see a fix for direct comment linking? Because it’s been pretty well impossible to carry on a conversation in the comments for months at this point, since notifications can no longer bring you directly to the comment that replied to you.

Just to save folks a little frustration, the video on the linked Twitter is very low resolution and cuts out much of the insane amount of work needed to get to this chest. Go to the user’s own YouTube instead, the full video (with thanks to the team that helped him grab the chest) here;

As someone who played quite a lot of BotW, I still feel like the people on the internet are playing a completely different game.

That’s why TLJ was so important. It was a big tonal shift. It threw out a lot of the tropes to allow room to breathe. Then people (internet weirdos and russian bots) freaked and Disney doubled down on the JJ and we got the worst Star Wars anything since AotC.

That’s what I get for clicking on a CPM article.  I’m usually diligent in checking to make sure it’s not one of his usual garbage posts that says useless shit, stupid shit, or useless AND stupid shit.

Ya’ll got any more of them working kinja comment sections?

Probably all the people who’ve protested against the new io9 hompage view... I’ve basically stopped coming here for news because it’s so awful. I enjoy the morning spoilers though, so I’ll usually find an external link and visit from there.

We don’t really think of our 900 characters as the Spidey-verse. We have a Marvel universe. The volume of characters we have — you know, wait until you see this next Venom. You don’t miss Spider-Man.

Ye gods this new layout looks terrible.

It’s almost as if Giz/IO9 are playing on a whole other level with headlines now. They’ve gone so far with crappy and misleading headlines that they know readers have recognized that there’s no longer a meaningful connection between them and the actual article. They’ve got no reasonl to go back and  I think they’re…

Remember that she murders dogs?

I absolutely abhor this trend of “villains aren’t actually the villains” reworks. Some people are just a-holes, Cruella is one of them, and I’ve got no interest in a movie that’s looking to reframe her as some kind of aspirational glass-ceiling-breaker. I may understand why so many people are more interested in…

Terrible buzzword-salad headline does no justice to the review itself

How to cultivate excitement for a property:

There’s the issue of what they were originally intended as and what they became. When the Eternals were introduced, it was very ambiguous whether it took place in the regular Marvel Universe, the only exceptions being some SHIELD agents (but none we’ve seen before, and not in SHIELD uniforms) and a Hulk robot (and if…

If you are interested in Fashion and Fashion History, then it explains a lot about who he was and why he was an important designer, although some of the details are not 100% accurate. Halston really did change the way women dressed, which may or may not be interesting to you. Ewan McGregor and most of the other actors…

Perhaps, but Schumacher was not as much of a household word as they might have thought, and the show left me curious to know if Halston ever reconnected with some of these people before he died like Schumacher or Elsa Perretti. He was also far closer with his models like Karen Bjornson and Pat Cleveland than the show…
