That’s some serious “I got mine” rhetoric there. Just because a bully doesn’t target you doesn’t mean you have to cheer him on while he beats the shit out of other innocent people.

“Would you rather live as a white person or a black person in 1980s South Africa?”

Not that I generally disagree about DiCaprio, but I wouldn’t take behavioral advice from James “Asshole When On Set” Cameron.

I suspect that was a major driver behind the court decision.

“They won’t fear it until they understand it. And they won’t understand it until they’ve screened it.” - Chris Nolan on ‘Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour’.

Never heard that one before, did you come up with it yourself?

What's really impressive is that they've mostly duplicated the Masterpiece figure's transformation.

I think the answer to “how did Universe 42 Miles become the Prowler” is pretty clear in the subtext of the movie already. With Jefferson dead, Miles leans on his uncle as a father figure, and falls into the same criminal lifestyle. He gets the tech from the same place as the Prowler in the first movie, presumably

The manga is absolutely wacky with how the main character does pseudo-magic just to keep up appearances.

Marvel displays fresh material

I just want to throw out there that Nightshade would not be the first non-binary transformer as we do in fact have Acid Storm as presented in Cyberverse who would swap between male and female appearance at will.  

Being a creation by humans made in the what? 80s? Of course they were going to be gendered, even if logic would make you think they weren’t.

The current continuity (so far as IDW anyway) has Transformers be a semi-organic race in the sense they spawn via a budding-esq process - for the most part anyway. A lot of the strife on cybertron started because cybertronians realized they could put a spark into a constructed body instead of waiting for a protoform

There *are* gay Transformers (mostly in the comics, like the ones by IDW). For example, Knockout is shown to be gay (and hinted to be in a relationship with Breakdown). Then there was Chromedome and Rewind. Meanwhile, Skids has been revealed to be bisexual. Hell, Crankcase dated a Dire Wraith. (Yes, fellow ROM fans.

There are Trans Formers, too. I really like this panel because her answer to the question “why?” Is so simple and concise and really the only reason anyone needs.

Proof that gender is a far more complex concept then we sometime’s give it credit for I guess...

When what are unicorn cars?

I don’t think anyone (except maybe Plunkett) writes off the Simpsons as being rubbish. It’s first nine seasons or so were utterly amazing TV, a truly unprecedented run of greatness.

I like the callout on the poster to Homer’s instant makeup application invention...
