I watched this with my 22 year old daughter who’d heard of the shows but had never seen them. It made for some great conversation as I explained the only way that All In The Family ever worked was because Archie’s bigotry came from a place of ignorance, not hatred. And then she learned that the original Meathead

This is really stupid. She was stabbed to death, there was a shit ton of blood, and Jon was the only one in the throne room with her.

But is it? Edmure Tully would have more or less been freed at the very beginning of Season 7 when Arya killed the entirety of House Frey.  Especially since the Lannister Army was more or less occupied by Dany.  Meanwhile Ellaria was probably dead before it, but if not was in the Red Keep where there wasn’t a known

``It seems insulting (and kind of sexist)

He’s played a jacked billionaire who rides around in vehicles before (Cosmopolis). He can do it again!

A Flock of Seagulls ARE pretty terrifying.

You’re putting words in my mouth, don’t you think? I literally say that we should celebrate the inclusion of female characters in the first sentence of my fucking comment. There’s a difference between celebrating equality (which I am all for), and using language like “Marvel’s true Avengers” and “the real heroes” to

would also presume they find it “tiresome” that assholes like you object to strong female characters."

Cmon io9, you’re better than this

This was one of my least favorite scenes in all of Endgame. You can’t tell me that it didn’t feel MASSIVELY forced to have all of these characters come together like that. You mean to tell me that, across the entire battlefield, somehow it just so happens that all of the female heroes (and only the female heroes) just

Why can’t we just celebrate the inclusion of strong female superheroes without the “real heroes” language, which implies that they are somehow more heroic or positive than their male counterpoints. It may seem trivial, but language matters. It’s like the “the future is female” slogans you seen thrown around. That’s

There’s a few ladies missing...Especially the one who should be leading this assembly.

Aye, but she's been doing good with her dude finding great therapy to help her joints and all

I will never understand why they have to do the HERe and “I cant let a man get the credit for a Woman” stuff. The trailer had me hooked in the first seconds. The actress knocked it out of the park in her debut on Elseworld. What does this forced “look, girl heroes too!” do for them? Does this marketing really work? I

Yeah, that’s fair. I mean, at least the people (or sorts of people) who used to say “we can’t have a female-led/minority-led superhero movie because nobody will go” are now saying “hey guys, we really need to make sure that viewers understand that this movie has females and minorities in it”, which doesn’t really say

I just accept it as the phase we are still while moving to where we need to truly get. In my mind perfect diversity means you just don’t care what gender or race someone is. Which means no need to highlight it. It just is.  But we aren’t there yet.  We’re in the heavy handed writing phase :)

Batman has been missing for awhile. And no one knows who Batman is. And now Batwoman appears with all the same gear to fight crime.

Yeah, it’s just getting a little cliche.

Yeah, the trailer is hitting the “HEY LOOK IT’S A WOMAN” thing a little hard. Don’t get me wrong: more female (and minority) led action/superhero movies (heck all movies): great! But it seems pretty cynical when they keep pointing their finger at it. Endgame did something similar in the movie at one point, and it just
