Well-spotted

This isn’t person by person but it shows post-vaccine death rates are much higher in counties that voted heavily for Trump. httpshttps://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2022/03/03/the-changing-political-geography-of-covid-19-over-the-last-two-years/

That's pretty much how trials go before the plaintiff's case closes and you get the chance to hear the other side.

I could definitely see her as a couple's therapist who makes it extremely clear for Miranda that having a queer awakening isn't carte blanche to be a dick

JFK’s signature hue is less “just back from vacation” and more “I have Addison’s disease.” 

She was also filming Avatar 2 and 3 for more than three full years. So in a more real sense of “days spent inhabiting the character”, she probably has spent more time playing Neytiri than the comparisons. Not that it really matters.

What’s Quill’s arc other than him recovering from the trauma of losing his mom and being raised by strangers who couldn’t articulate that they cared about him? If one’s too dull to helm a blockbuster, the other should be too. Personally, I’d kind of love if they did a more realistic take on The Vow, or 50 First Dates.…

I thought the sacrifice angle was going to be representation related. I haven’t crunched the numbers, but I’d assume by box office she’s one of the top five most bankable female actors ever, and ranked higher for Afro-Latinx actors. And yet, except for Star Trek, she’s almost never appearing recognizably as herself or…

It looks more like a hyperstylized psycho thriller version of the Manhattan show. As that show was and I’d watch Florence Pugh make eggs, this looks quite intriguing.

Ouch, this and Batwoman on the same day wipes out a decent chunk of queer women on TV.

Normally I’m against corporations having an outsize role in politics, but I can’t wait to see the Disney-funded PAC, ads, and general messing with DeSantis. If corps are as powerful as people say they are, I doubt he’s going to ever win another election.

Whoops, didn’t read closely enough. But sounds like she uses she/they.

They haven't said what pronouns they prefer yet. Some non-binary people use a mix, so we don't know yet if any of the options would be offensive to Monae. 

Not they are God, they’re from God. It’s a very, very widespread belief in Abrahamic religions that humans are made by God in God’s image, i.e. from God. It’s a very ungenerous reading to think Monae’s off the deep end saying she’s God, instead of rephrasing what your average Christian believes.

There’s more than a few allegations about him getting physically violent with collaborators and generally crashing working relationships straight into the ground with giant, ego-fueled fights. None of us really know anything yet, but I would be unsurprised if this was something like that instead of mere jerkitude.

“Trials should never be public” yikes. They necessarily have to be public. A cornerstone of functioning democracy is citizens being able to observe the courts and monitor if they’re fair. Now obviously for a lot of structural reasons like resource imbalances, the justice system isn’t necessarily fair. But imagine how…

You don't have to be constantly chemically disconnected from reality to blow $650 million dollars, but it helps. 

And also if Taika hadn't entered the picture. He was a little unproven before Ragnarok, but who wouldn't jump to work with him now?

Mmm . . . pretty sure it's that she had plenty of money and playing a Phase 1/2 uninteresting girlfriend character wasn't as creatively fulfilling as her other projects. I don't think she'd have come back for any amount of money if she wasn't getting the hammer.

I agree with you that if you’re trying to make the actual best thing artistically, the best choice is to move forward. But franchises have mostly made a lot of money and not killed the brand by doing the opposite. 80% of Star Wars since Return of the Jedi is filling in gaps, and except for Solo they’ve all been at…
