If you think that someone simply talking about something they don’t like is “provocation” then you have severe, severe mental issues.

I agree with the general idea, but this is hardly a phenomenon unique to Marvel fans. In fact, prior to the Scorsese kerfuffle, I’d say this type of behavior was much more typical of DC fans, who took the fact that their movies were generally worse received than MCU flicks as a personal affront and/or a sign of a vast…
It’s just fascinating how rapidly this all went downhill. People were THRILLED with Daredevil Season 1. Jessica Jones Season 1 was great, and culturally relevant. Luke Cage Season 1 didn’t garner quite as many raves, but it was still generally liked. Then, Iron Fist, then Defenders kind of came and went, then it all…
But that’s the thing, isn’t it? It’s not easy to cancel a memory, or a personal association with an artist’s work. But that doesn’t mean it’s not the right thing to do. The fact that we - and I’m not judging you, in particular, here, as this is something we see all over the pop culture audience - aren’t willing to do…
Here’s my suggested question: Do you think it’s ethical to ask readers to do a writer’s work without offering them compensation?
An indication of general social irresponsibility on the part of music listeners who are at least apathetic (and, at times it seems, enthusiastic) about lining the pockets of men who are accused of doing very, very bad things?
Proof that Doctor Manhattan doesn’t feel cold.
This is pretty low-impact compared to calling slavery a choice, but if it in any way hastens Kanye’s decline into irrelevance so that we can just stop the fuck talking about him, already, then two silver thumbs up from me.
Lupita Nyong’o was 100% robbed. Whatever else you want to say about Us, she was phenomenal in it.
I’d contend that we’re merely allowed the illusion of fighting, or that we’re allowed to fight little battles like this that are, ultimately, meaningless, to make us feel like tweeting jokes about commercials we don’t like is somehow making a difference in the grand scheme.
Rose Tico Disney+ spin-off or GTFO.
I don’t care, I’m calling it Baby Yoda
If you think that Facebook and G/O Media are equal in terms of their financial prospects, then I have a bridge to sell you.
Ah, as much as I hate to say it, the death of American empathy started a long, long time before all the comment section fodder you threw out there, although those are certainly prime symptoms of it. Our wonderful, capitalist system is entirely based on telling everyone that what they want is the most important thing…
As someone who has seen a number of consistent Snyder films, I don’t think a consistent Snyder film is better than much of anything. Maybe root canal surgery, but that’s as far as I’ll go.
Can we start a #burnthesnydercut movement, in which we petition Warner Bros. to publicly transfer all of Zack Snyder’s footage to some form of physical media, then set it on fire while dancing around the blaze to “Disco Inferno?”
Anybody else wonder how Peter Capaldi would have sounded saying that last line?
I nominate Brandon Sanderson, who never met a magic system he couldn’t describe in minute detail, but can’t write a character arc to save his life.
This should be the tagline for every Star Wars release moving forward.
