Same thing with 30 Rock. They drop a Captain Needa reference and don’t explain it.

“Many contemporary reviewers could do with beginning to understand not everything is necessarily intended for them personally”

I dunno. Lots of people love Star Wars, not just nerds. That’s about as edgy as loving the Beatles.

This movie is ready-made for people who want to clap at anything and everything they see.

If rape is a regular feature of a book series then at some point doesn’t the repetition become a glorification?

I will be glad when we can get back to the objectification of woman and it be considered progressive as well

I’d be in agreement with you a lot of the time—certainly you could say that the main Harry Potter series would be fine without the romances. But in this case one of the central story conflicts is that Dumbledore loves Grindelwald, the man, while opposing his actions. I don’t really think you can “take the romance out”…

I think the “These are the only two African heroes of note that we have so obviously they’ll get married.” was a bit of a huhn? as well. Storm has options.

To the people who will say “he’s only one of a few police who feel this way...most police aren’t racist”

No the Academy doesn’t award “great” movies. They award what they consider the best movie of the year, regardless as to whether it was “great” or not. There have been a lot of films to win Oscars that are not “great” movies.

Let’s do this:

Sorry, but this is bullshit. I don’t care how good anything is, if it isn’t marketed, it won’t sell. And Marvel has been dropping the ball on that front since at least last year, announcing series, not doing anything in regards to promoting them, and then cancelling them a couple of issues in. If they devoted half the…

Even Vader rocked the poncho.

It’s always interesting to watch conservatives attempt humor. The references are almost always hilariously out of date, the attempts at self-deprecation are usually painfully forced, and it comes across like they decided to improv the first take and then felt it was comedy gold that couldn’t be topped. It’s like…

Just when I thought I couldn’t loath him even more. He’s treating this whole thing like it’s a fucking joke, and it’s not.

Crap like this, and the response of “just get over it” is part of the reason I stopped watching Anime.

Yes.

So if he were Japanese it wouldn’t be racist, but because he’s white it becomes racist retroactively?

Yes, some things done by a white person are racist when they would not be racist if done by a non-white person, because racism is about systemic power.
