I 100% agree with you about Slott. You can make your point without being an asshole, and as a general rule, one should not taunt literal children.

I agree with that, I like to see people add more color to a universe. A truly well-built fictional universe can support an infinite number of stories, and I like people engaging with the source and then going in a different direction.
I don't want all gay relationships to be subtext. That's quite a leap. I think one of the faults of the X-Men movies is that Mystique is not openly gay (and where the hell is Destiny?) And I fully support Disney having a gay princess, and wouldn't mind if Elsa has a girlfriend in Frozen 2. I just don't think its a…
Even though I agree with their goals (and their reading of the source material), this is pretty much exactly what #GiveElsaAGirlfriend is. Though, in a way, I think it works better as subtext.
Interesting fanfic, to me, is when it barely uses the characters of a world, but instead just uses the setting as a jumping off point. Your Lazarus example is the best: there are literally millions of stories that will never be told that have nothing to do with the families but are instead by the Waste or the Serfs,…
I saw this piece last week and while I don't agree with her defense of fan fic, I don't think its actively harmful or anything. Fan fic at least requires the writer to have engaged with the source material, and that's usually a good thing.
I would pay almost any amount of money to see an adaptation of Kitty's Fairy Tale.
I know this is silly, but I really want an American playing Captain Marvel. Carol Danvers is a US fighter pilot and outside of Captain America himself, the MCU character I most associate with patriotism. Though a Canadian would work, I'd sign off on Katheryn Winnick in a second.
Actually, I think the reveal that he's the projection of a little kid in the orphanage with Scott is pretty great. Children are horrible, nasty creatures who would murder you for a cookie. I know, I have two of them in my house.
Mr. Sinister, stupid name aside, is one of the best villains in the X-Men universe because he actually accomplishes his goals. He murders all of the Morlocks, mortally wounds 3 X-Men, possesses Polaris and turns her against her former cohorts, gets Alex to betray his brother by siding with Maddie, clones Jean Grey,…
I've liked the X-Men series, but the continuity is now so convoluted, and the biggest names are so bored with their characters, it really is time to move on and reboot. Make the X-Force movie as a Deadpool sequel, make a New Mutants film, (sigh) maybe even do that awful looking Gambit film. But let the main X-Men…
That is shockingly accurate.
Steve Miller is absolutely right… but his music still sucks.
Have you seen this chicken?
Since Kurt Russell is a perfect human, this checks outs.
Oh yeah? What has she ever done?
Don't worry, they'll make the Wicked movie now that she's too old to play Glinda on the big screen.
You should sit there in your wrongness and just be wrong. The Sound of Music is great, and has one of the best songbooks of any musicals ever made. There's a reason those three musical films, and I'd add West Side Story, have stood the test of time. My kids love them, too.
Travers also opposed Disney writing any new songs for the movie, she wanted all of the music to be classic songs in the public domain… which would have been terrible, and a total waste of some talented songsmiths. I'm not saying every decision Walt made on the movie was correct (SEE: van Dyke, Dick), but he was right…
The Poseur kids watch the hell out of Mary Poppins.
