Hm. I was interested in the game for the promise of a strong female lead and titanic robot dinosaur fighting, but everything about it seems pretty generic-to-cringe-worthy, especially the reductive, lazy role reversal tropes the author praises for being… *chokes back vomit*… "woke as hell." Not like I'm not spoiled

Piers Morgan vs. the woman I aspire every day to be the exact opposite of in every facet of life, from writing to lifestyle to general sanity.

I understand why the last lines of the article are there — fostering that fear consistently brings in more clicks, shares, and comments — but I'm no longer worried about Trump ending the world. As I've said before, we're not even a full month into his term and he's already undergoing a very visible and public

Why do so many lesbian love stories in film have to follow the "woman trapped in an unsatisfying straight relationship gets satisfied in the embrace of another woman, wrestles with her sexuality and learns something in the end" formula? Is it impossible to get a film where the main character just knows she's gay from

I don't come to Arrow for a preachy, clumsy political debate that resolves nothing and is ultimately meaningless to the core plot. I come to Arrow to forget about the troubles of the real world as I watch a rich ninja shoot arrows at cool villains, and this has so far been the best season for that since the

Jesus, no.

Really, the penultimate episode of Hannibal S2 instead of the last one? Mason carving his face off is darkly hilarious karma for an absolute bastard of a character. The supposed brutal massacring of the show's principal cast, concluding with Hannibal's intimate stabbing of Will, is still stuck in my mind years later

Mmm… I see your passive-aggressiveness, and you brought up the box office as your sole argument, but you didn't accuse anyone of being a Disney / Marvel shill. I'm afraid this doesn't pass par, MANIMAL. 7/10.

I must be alone in thinking Martin was a great villain and being a bit sad that he's gone, even if he went out in the most gratifying way possible. Hopefully Reynard continues to be a terrifying shithead in his stead.

We haven't made it a full month into the presidency and we now have two prominent administration members / nominees stepping down, the Russian intelligence scandal blowing up to new heights, multiple struck-down policies including one of the major focuses of the campaign, and Trump's blood pressure visibly

I've been a big fan of the prior Marvel shows (even when some of them took a quality downturn in the latter half), and I'll reserve judgement until this one is released, but there doesn't seem to be that much of a unique hook here. It really just looks like Arrow S1 by way of Daredevil sans the blindness.

His arc is more across the films, when he goes from believing in America wholeheartedly and being a willing soldier of the government to questioning the grey areas of the modern day and ultimately rebelling against it in the belief that we can be better.

If 2017 me traveled back to 2012 and told me that after the next election I'd be siding with Bill O'Fucking'Reilly on an issue of international importance, I just might have beat 2017 me to death with a bat in rage, dooming myself to a closed time loop of death.

This is why I can't bother to get fired up with the end-of-the-world rhetoric that's been so popular here. Trump is a dangerous dictator, but he's also a monumentally stupid, petty manchild who aggravates everyone not falling in line with his whims. If multiple government departments are actively conflicting with him

Maybe we should've waited for the official word before launching into the headlines and discussions about how we're all doomed. We have enough clear, present, and terrifying danger to sort through without adding conspiracy theories about talk show broadcast interruptions to the mix.

I would imagine right to Scalia on some things and left on others. Scalia was extremely far-right on certain issues, but surprisingly liberal (or at least lining up with what liberal justices wanted) in areas that didn't involve not being a horrible bigot.

As unbelievably shitty as it is that Merrick Garland was held from the rightful position because of Republican babybitching, and as wretched and terrifying as everything involved with the Trump Reich has been so far, this is — somehow — actually kind of a net positive.

Unless the plot itself takes a massive downturn as a direct result of the character dying, it's childish to stop watching a show just because of one character death. Sometimes — oftentimes, even — characters we love have to die in service of a great story, lest the stakes be lost and character arcs devalued. Refusing

This is a fairly well-written article even for the worn-out point it makes, though a lot of the comparisons are ludicrously stretched (and, in the case of Rufus dying, flat-out wrong).

Well, shit. The fact that Affleck was directing was the single notable thing about this, and I'd hoped his skills as a director (and the fact that he's actually a good Batman) could focus up some of the crippling flaws in his chunk of the DCEU. It had real potential.
