> she argues that “Cleopatra was eight generations away from these Ptolemaic ancestors, making the chance of her being white somewhat unlikely.”

This is straight up false, because the Ptolemaic dynasty was horrifyingly incestuous. What is true is that we don’t know the identity of her mother or her grandmother, who…

The Pride Night is at Disneyland, not WDW

There’s only been one episode with Jedi stuff in Mando season 3, and it was a flashback. Season 2 is the one with all the Jedi stuff.

Which sounds way better than what Heathers season 1 tried to be.

Why are the Pink Ladies being reimagined as empowered former outcasts? Aren’t the Pink Ladies in the original kind of rich snobs, the pre-cursors to the Heathers or the Mean Girls? 

I agree with this line-up, which is why, even though Damian can be fun, I’m a bit sad that the first DCU Batman movie is gonna focus on Damian. Like, we’ve barely had Dick in the movies, and we’re now jumping straight to Damian? Feel like we should at least start with Tim!

I don’t know that I’d call Chicago or Sweeney Todd “self-serious”. Sweeney Todd especially is practically already a dark comedy. It’s not meant to be set in a serious world, it’s a send up of penny dreadfuls and operas. But even then, not the serious operas, but the lurid B-movie kind that were already not…

You’re leaving out all the allegations that predate her firing about how she personally would abuse workers in the VFX department (which she was in charge of) and was a big part of the toxic environment there. It complicates the image of her as a progressive firebrand. That talk about how Marvel would “blacklist” VFX…

There’s two versions. One is Vanilla, and the other is WotLK. The second lauched as BC Classic but then updated to WotLK.

I don’t think they need to do Cataclysm like this article hints. I think Vanilla, Wrath, and the current game about covers all audiences. 

> “He’s very disciplined in that way, and also he’s very British in that way,” Cox says. “The American inclination is to milk it for all it’s worth.”

Doctor Who celebrates its 60th Anniversary this year.

Lucius Vorenus?

They already adapted the Born Again arc in Daredevil season 3

The way you describe the “Fuck the North” bit makes it sound like a direct rip-off of Trainspotting 2's excellent “No More Catholics” bit.

Holy shit.

When it started, I was disappointed they were going with Final Countdown, rather than the obvious choice. But then it turned into a mash-up, and I was satisfied.

Yeah, I kind of want this story from the perspective of the actual Soviet/Russian designer who made the game, and was at the center of the legal battle for rights to it after the collapse of the Soviet Union, rather than the story about the American guy who brought it to the west and tried to copyright it. Adding a…

Jason Todd is way more overexposed than Tim Drake at this point.

There’s definitely the implication that something has happened to Peter and May going into Civil War and Homecoming. You can see boxes around like they’re just moving in to the apartment, and there’s a line about “After everything May has been through recently...”

His suitcase in Far From Home says BFP presumably for…

Some Wallers look like Angela Bassett, or Cynthia Addai-Robinson for some reason, or even Pam Grier! 

I once saw an episode of the show Nashville, where a character gets pulled over driving into a suburban park and complains to the cop “I have to be downtown in 5 minutes!”

I never watched the show past that scene, so maybe the character is a known compulsive liar or something, but it was very funny.
