Fallacious argument, since we don’t have Anderson leaving to compare ratings. Losing a 7-year cast member is ALWAYS really rough, especially in a 2-person show.

Norra Wexley’s Sister is married to a woman as well. Temmin was raised by his two aunts when Norra left to search for her husband.

It’s mentioned more than in just one line. It’s implied a few times as he gazes admiringly on another man. I thought that was well done. The one time it was addressed overtly I thought was both ham-fisted and overkill. Unlike people weirdly opposed to diversity, the reason I hated Aftermath had nothing to do with the…

Cool! Sorry, I couldn’t tell which way you meant it—like, “why would they mention his sexuality?” or “why would anyone give a shit about his sexuality?” It being the latter case, *fist bump*

How about the “His father told him to let a busload of children die” part? Can we be mad about that?

I’ve gotten so many of those useless comments, “Well why don’t you just write a completely different story?” I’ve especially run into that from people slagging genre writing. “Well if it’s about someone losing their child, why does it have a space ship in it?” CAUSE IT DOES.

So many directors I know prefer having a someone other than themselves edit. They love the back and forth and generally admit they’re terrible at being the sole person to choose which of their children are killed. It’s fascinating, really. And I’m always intrigued by the process.

Ahh...defending your decisions and negotiation. Two of my favourite parts of the job...

Oh, absolutely. No question he made the right choice. There as also a written alternate to how Dyson dies. He was given a beautiful “death dream” but again, the decision was made to darker and it was the right one.

I don’t care what she looks like, honestly. But the trailer doesn’t convey any menace to her character. Just teenage stupid chick smartassedness. Which does not make a bad guy.

Oh I just thought of a good example of someone who should have realized their premise was bad from the start. The woman who wrote the children’s book “A Birthday Cake for Washington.” The book was really bad. In order for it to be a children’s book aimed at 8 year olds, it had to be written in a way that completely…

I actually have to disagree with this. The execution is ALWAYS the problem. “Lolita” is a “problematic” premise, but the execution (an unsympathetic, unreliable narrator who is an awful person*) makes it “ok” (because you’re not really supposed to think the “relationship” is ok). I’d argue that the movie, which make…

This is one of the most stunning demonstrations of the difference between the Marvel films and the Snyderverse.

Yep. Granted, for me, any non-DCAU interpretation was going to face an uphill battle — hell, any non-Arleen Sorkin interpretation is nearly dead in the water — but I have tried to keep an open mind, especially based on little more than photos at the beginning of the publicity for this movie. But the more actual…

There’s a reason you never hear about Captain America or Iron Man being kind.

Star Wars will now face a showdown with Avatar 2,

The source material being well known for the embarrassing sexualization of every female character whom had EVER been shown in a moderately non sexual way before. Catwoman, Starfire, Harley, even Wonder Woman now had plot points based on their sexual relations and were drawn to emphasize ridiculously unrealistic female…
