It's not magic. It's chi. And chi is real.

I want a returning Kingpin for Defenders S2.

I thought the point of the defenders was that they were essentially the antihero counterpart to the Avengers. Darker, more serious, and more conflicted, and having to work in the shadows. So it makes sense to me that they aren't as friendly as the Avengers.

That bullet drilled into him and exploded. The Truck was a big impact but spread across his whole body, I think it's fine to say he could dust off the truck but not iron fist or a shotgun close range to the face.

I think it's wise to watch the preceding series before watching the crossover that those series were in part created to build up to. If you watch a sequel without watching previous entries, can you really blame the sequel for not getting you up to speed? Does every sequel and crossover need to provide an entry point…

I think, though, that's kind of the point. For all the mysticism, chi, and whatever, they're just a few badass normies hiding behind smoke and mirrors. Part of their power is their fear, but like all fear it's not based in reality. So a team of heroes who can cut through all the bs is exactly what's needed to take…

I think this is why we should have seen more of Danny in K'un Lun in Iron fist. I get the feeling that Danny really craves the purpose and structure that his ascetic life gave him. He's not really equipped to be a superhero and clearly has the most growing to do out of the four. After all, the Iron Fist is a tool,…

But you can't really have property rights unless you enforce them by the use of force. Hobbes, man. He seems more right every day.

It depends on what kind of person she is. If she's great, and your relationship is great but this is one bad point, then I'd persevere. If she's the kind of person who will move but will forever hold it over you and possibly pull it out to guilt you, then end it.

I think you must have forgotten the part of the Gospel where Jesus lets people drown in the Mediterranean because they're too brown.

It's surprising because a lot of people mistakenly miss the message of Fight Club, and those that hold up the film as some affirmation of masculinity are probably fond of 300 too. Sure, Catch-22 didn't end war, but it did change how war was depicted in art, so I'd expect Fight Club to do the same. But toxic…

The movie isn't making a statement about any specific cultural group

There's no such thing as looking too deeply into something.

I remember Lindsay Ellis saying 'the point of critical theory isn't to shame you for the things you like'. And it's not. It's to explain and understand the structural forces that influence everything, and understand how cultural artefacts themselves change or support the status quo. At the very least, looking at what…

I have to say, as someone who was born years after TDKR came out, I thought it was thoroughly ugly and I can say I've never liked anything Miller's done.

Nobody said it was a founding document of the alt-right. What was said was that the disturbing ideas of the film, the inhuman way it others the persians, the glorification of violence, the threat of foreign invasion (from the middle east), the hyper-masculinity which I think would have died after Fight Club, well they…

Well, first of all one group being worse than another does not mean that the first group is good, only less bad. There are cultures which are even more homophobic and transphobic.

Well, I decry how the African-American community as a whole treats trans people, gay people and women, so there's that. You can criticise a culture without being racist - especially when the aspects you're criticising are discrimination and the advocacy of violence against other minorities.

I agree that if you squint and turn your head to the side, it almost looks something like a believable relationship, but Spectre is exactly the point where all the lessons that had been learned since Casino Royale were forgotten and Bond slipped back into its creative laziness.

Well, samoan people are not white, so they do count.
