Omfg you didn’t pay attention to the movie at all. Batman doesn’t shoot a single person in this movie, all the scenes of Batman with a gun are from the Injustice timeline which is an alternate timeline from the future that happens if Batman doesn’t defeat Superman.

I’m not a gamer, but my wife recently streaming movies we didn’t pay for. We can afford to go to the movie theater, but it isn’t convenient. We pay for netflix, hulu, cbs app, and amazon prime, but the site she goes to has movies that those sites don’t offer yet. 1-10, how big of a scumbag am I?

Please. Stop. Calling. Her. Wondy.

I was thinking during the movie I rather be watching Arnold make bad ice puns during the movie because it would have been more interesting.

There are problems with it, but calling it “appropriation” is just appropriating the term “appropriation.”

My geographical location has nothing to do with my ability to make moral judgements. How ridiculously condescending of you, and exactly the kind of insane moral logic I’m talking about.

(1) The Skinwalkers are not considered fictional by the tribes. They are “real” to them as Jesus Christ is to Christians.

Since I had to create a burner just to like this I’ll jump in to add - as much as I love Rowling and the Potter books - the no-maj makes me not want to even see the movie. So stupid and trite after all of her wonderful names and descriptions in Potter.

This is part of why Urban Fantasy is such a hard sell for me.... it seems like a hard sell to say that you can have the regular world be just as it is *and* have magic, faries, werewolves and vampires too.

USA didn't exist back then, but USMA did: The United States of MAGIC America.

In the piece where they mention the MCUSA they mention that it predates the actual USA basically that the Wizarding community came up with the idea first. This is addressed in the fiction.

I mean honestly after she told us the US equivalent of Muggle was “No-Maj” I pretty much knew by that point she wasn’t even trying.

It felt very George Lucas-y to me, as well. And I love Harry Potter, but scaling this up to cover all of American history in a few hundred words doesn’t work.

Even though the concept of a United States of America didn’t exist until the late 18th Century.

To be fair, it’s a trick he straight up lifted from RTD’s handbook. Moff just didn’t joyously yell “MARVELLOUS” during his post-reveal cackling as much as Davies did.
