I think the actual issue people care about (specifically, Muslims care about) is that when Muslim characters show up at all they are way too often depicted as terrorists. I don’t have any data on it one way or the other and I’m not Muslim, so please don’t take this as, like, a personal attack.

a gender binary that doesn’t really fit with today’s world, where most understand gender expression as existing on a spectrum rather than fixed binaries

Are you saying you’re not going to watch his cooking show on YouTube?

before all of that stuff happened to me, I didn’t feel good

There’s so much great anti-authoritarian kids lit though because kids are the victims of countless small tyrants. Wrinkle in Time, Matilda, Pippi Longstocking, Charlotte’s Web, Holes. It doesn’t need to specifically be about Trump to reinforce in kids that letting stupid bullies amass power is bad.

“The cynic in me says that Disney would put the kibosh on anything too overtly anti-corporate.”

Which is just phenomenally stupid to me. What’s the worst that happens? They get a handful of articles talking about Disney hypocrisy? Who cares? They’ll get just as many about how brave they are for putting the movie out.

And…

what are you talking about they all put out stuff like that all the time to make fun of us. amazon just made fallout. ‘corporations’ are the bad guys in like half the stuff that comes out.

I don’t blame actors for taking a paycheck on a bad movie.

There are a few sentences in there I’d really like to see diagrammed.

Look, I believe your assessment of this movie is probably accurate. However, publishing a review this rife with grammatical errors undermines any critical authority it might have otherwise asserted. Doesn’t it feel like learning to proofread should maybe come before judging the creative efforts of others—especially…

He was also cast later as First Officer Ragnar, who he played in Star Trek: Of Gods And Men (2007) and Star Trek: Renegades (2015-2017).

So you have a new Star Wars movie for me?

The Marvels got a C on the AV Club, which is about in line with 50 it has some critics overall on Metacritic.  So, no, the reviews were not generally positive.

The Marvels WAS bad, though. This narrative that it’s only not liked because of racism/sexism is so played out. “But see, these 3 Youtubers made videos!” is not proof of any larger picture happening. 

if Andor is any indication, they should’ve given the job to someone who barely likes Star Wars.

If the live-action SW shows he’s been involved with are any indication, then I don’t see myself paying much attention to Star Wars in the future.

“Before superhero movies were the only kind of movies”

Yeah, I’m confused that people wouldn’t get this. He was mind-controlled by an Infinity Stone. If anything, it’s surprising he isn’t more messed up.

It’s totally fair to question why the Variety writer thought including the bit about DaCosta leaving was necessary when it’s not unprecedented, but no where in the piece did it claim that she “didn’t care about the film.” It said that “eyebrows were raised” and quoted a source who said, “If you’re directing a $250…
