Of all supe flicks, this one has always resonated most strongly for me. The dual identity crisis - one in service to self, the other for community - from the first film is deepened even further by the conflicting sense of “no good deed goes unpunished” and “the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good…

Well let me be clear: I am contesting this assertion here:

I mean, fuck the religion and all that but cherry picking the verse out of context is kinda pointless. In this instance, the context is not Yahweh giving direction, but an angry Israelite under Babylonian rule crying out to God.

Yeah if the “ending” is through the lens of the entire season, I completely understand people’s qualms with it. All those complaints were valid. I just didn’t see the “heel turn” in The Bells and Jon’s betrayal as that surprising honestly, it was just a little sloppy. Like you said, they kinda made it clear that…

Agreed. I definitely wouldn’t praise that ending but I also think its blowback has more to do with failed expectations than the actual final product.

God this hits way too close to home. Fuck all the Star Wars drama, I just hope their family can find peace and joy in the midst of a horrible situation.

I can kinda see it, in a Battinson sort of way. Though a villain or Q-type role seems more apt.

ironically, Michelle Williams

Well said. What a legacy, and what a loss. Sending love to his family.

It’s just wonderful that journalism has long opted for broadcasting the viewpoints of the monsters we ought to be burying. Why WaPo felt the need to share this murderer’s views is a mystery to me.

Idk. It’s been a long time since I ran through the campaign. But Sgt. Johnson felt the closest to a “friend” from CE to 3, so him dying completing the mission with you seemed to matter more. I honestly forgot all about Miranda. Maybe I should replay with my brothers and see if it holds up.

This is awful and hilarious thank you

Agreed. He leaned into the concept hard and really knew the assignment. Felt the most natural outside of the actor who played Sokka.

What do you mean non-descript? He’s there with Chief at damn near the end of Halo 3 when you face Guilty Spark. He’s arguably given the most emotional send-off of the entire series outside Reach or ODST.

I havent seen Halo btw but that was ok ? I think right?

Yeah this whole thing screams analysts interpreting correlation as causation. TikTok’s certainly had an influence on discoverability for individual artists, that part seems to hold, but tying that to spending habits seems like a stretch.

...that reads like you’re not even responding to the substance of my point, but okay.

In my opinion, all of those ideas lack any real weight compared to what the original show was able to capture with his sexism. Calling it a “kids show” implies that children don’t encounter these real, difficult interactions in their lives growing up and are somehow incapable of processing what’s happening. Many of us…

“We underline that the claims by the Ukrainian side are unfounded as Milos Bikovic is, above all, one of the most popular and the most talented Serbian actors of his generation who, despite his young age, has already left a mark in Serbian as well as international cinema.”
