They're animals. And he slaughtered them! LIKE ANIMALS!

"The city is under attack? Must be May!"

Nice use of the word 'sanguine', Laurel.

Felicity this season is the embodiment of too much of a good thing.

How does this channel still exist? Isn't their entire MO to put extraordinarily messed-up family units on the air? And this has happened with the Honey Boo Boo thing too.

Opinions. An adaptation isn't an adaptation if there's nothing adapted.

No. I'm talking title alone. You could title Iron Man something like Flying Robot Man but it's about Tony Stark being Iron Man. Pirates invented everything we associate with it. There's like one nod to the ride that I'm aware of.

To me cultural footprint is more important here than financial success. Avatar had basically no cultural impact, despite being something of a phenomenon. Not everything can be Indy or Star Wars, basically nothing is, but stuff can be influential and culturally pervasive.

I'm still gonna go to bat for Pirates, the characters and situations are original. If you can change one word of the title (Pirates of the West Indies?) and it'd be considered original, it's original enough.

"Our closest equivalent to a Star Wars or an Indiana Jones - an original project inspired by earlier sources becoming a wildly successful film franchise - is probably Avatar."

It checks out.

It's the baseball caps wearing "Native Americans" that are worth complaining about.

"my significant other, who happens to be black, detests the idea of cultural appropriation, as he sees it boxing everyone into their stereotypical cultural "norms", negating any "melting pot" effect this country is supposed to have"

I don't get why Flash needed Cold when Cisco made his weapon in the first place.

Still haven't seen Monsters University or Cars 2 myself, but yeah. It's more than a little extreme to claim they're shit based on their track record, even if half their upcoming slate is franchise stuff.

They've only released one movie since Brave. I think you're something of an alarmist. Even if we were to say Brave is mostly a "shitty abysmal trash garbage horrible mess" (it isn't) and say the movies immediately before and after it are "overwarmed bullshit" that still leaves you with 80% of the content they've put

What's a "Bing"?

How do you reconcile it with Ratatouille? Bird wrote and directed that also, the "message" was pretty different if you interpret The Incredibles to be elitist.

"pixar is shit"
