I’m a millennial. But yeah, you’re right...people never make humorous generalizations about generations.

I love how much millennials hate Bill Maher. He certainly isn’t perfect, but the reaction to him is incredible. And of course the criticisms always resort to inaccuracy in order to further stoke outrage.

Okay this might sound like a weird thing to nitpick. I’m having a hard time with the color palette in the MCU, especially since the Russo brothers arrived. Everything looks awful. Grey, dingy, drab. When there is color, it’s this weird orange saturated hue mixed with all the grey.

Trudeau is such a hypocritical dumbass.

You’re fucking retarded.

I just did. I don’t know, it actually bothers me that I don’t understand the appeal. It’s like I’m missing out on something everyone else understands. It’s like Minecraft, super popular and I can’t even fathom why. But I wish I did?

I wish I could understand the appeal of FPS, but no matter how hard I try I can’t get into them. Doom is maybe the one exception. I feel weird for not liking them when they’re the most popular genre by far.

“Not at all, unless you’re saying the critical opinion of those tens of millions of people is wrong?

Not everyone has tons of time to kill. Personally I have at most a couple hours each evening to relax. I’m not going to waste them on Mute if all the critics say it’s trash.

The critics aren’t actually wrong, it’s just that tons of people have low standards and/or poor taste when it comes to sci-fi. Mute sucks, Altered Carbon sucks, most of the Marvel Netflix shows suck. What’s remarkable is that they all suck for very similar reasons.

Wow, you’re ridiculous. :)

It wasn’t a home run, but I don’t think the premiere of Six Feet Under (or even the first four episodes) revealed what the series would become either. And that ended up being one of my favorite shows. I’ll give this a chance and ignore the impatient critics for now.

I noticed my notifications seven days later, dumbass.

So again you just completely sweep aside the existence of the producers who were POCs, and make a baseless claim that the show would celebrate the Confederacy. Interesting. It’s almost like you’re not interested in reasonable discussion.

You’re not even trying to be reasonable about this. A concept is not a story. We know what their concept was. We have no idea what they were trying to do with it, or what kind of social commentary would have resulted.

That minor point of terminology doesn’t negate my point in any way. Counterfactual or alternate histories do not necessarily celebrate the bad guys. They explore what could have happened if events transpired differently. Man in the High Castle is one example, but there are thousands of great works in this genre. It…

Rian Johnson did a string of low-budget sci-fi hits before Disney even looked at him. J.J. Abrams didn’t start from the top either. As I said, Disney will look at talented and proven genre directors once they’ve made a name for themselves. Often it’s a little labor of love like Looper that gets some attention.

I did not miss your point, and wasn’t arguing against you. I was piggybacking off your point and airing my grievances about the common “historical accuracy” excuse.

“The very idea of doing a show that shows the Confederacy winning is pro-Confederacy.”

Lucas should have come up with the idea for Star Wars but then stepped back so a trans WOC could direct. Damn you, George Lucas.
