Seconded.

While rehoming a child is undoubtedly traumatizing for the child and a terrible thing, from other comments about these parents, it sure sounds like it was for the best and that they were not the people to be raising a special needs child.

more so than the somewhat clunky moment inserted to have her resist getting new arms just because she didn’t want to forget what caused her to get her metal ones in the first place.

Tone? Maybe. By Whedon was also involved in the writing prior. So some of those moments could be scripted.

Not really. People just love to find ways to justify their opinions and beliefs. They didn’t like the film, so they attribute anything they didn’t like to a “reshoot” and found “evidence” in those scenes to justify it being reshot.
Such as how many believe any scene with humour was Whedon, ignoring that he’d already…

With so many amazing DC characters, I always find it annoying when the Arrowverse characters invent new names. Spartan, Overwatch, and now whatever Alex is. Who really needs a mask...
Couldn’t she have been Manhunter, Phantom Lady, Peacemaker, Bulleteer, even Vigilante.

Of all the CW shows, this one had the least bad finale. It at least felt like a cliffhanger.

Honestly, the worst part of the CW shows is the length of the season. Half-season shows would be all the plot but half the filler and treading water. They could be great...

It very much is like The Princess Bride because like that, how you feel about it depends on if you read the book first.

1982-85 is just this amazing era of pop culture. While only a so-so summer, 1984 was an amazing year for cinema, especially genre films. Even music in that era was huge, with the trifecta of Madonna, Prince, and Michael Jackson pushing each other to greatness.

The problem is you don’t want cops acting based on “their judgement” but following procedure. You want cops that follow the rules. And that means securing the scene and the suspect before assessing to ensure innocent lives are never at risk.
Because if a cop breaks procedure due to a bad call (“oh, it’s just a guy in…

Watch the video. The cops don’t escalate to physical violence.

Didja watch the video? When do they “smash the employee’s face into the sidewalk”?

Did you watch the video? At what point do they use excessive force, before or after she complied? At what point to they even lay hands on her?

If you watch the video it looks a hell of a lot more like 1) than 2). The police seem calm and aren’t threatening or shouting.

That’s a strawman as fuck.

Yes. What’s your point?

Two people called 9-1-1 about a gun threat.
