Or give him a consistent weakness. (For an omniscient being, he sure let Loki punk everyone in Asgard repeatedly.)

You beautiful Bastard.
Un-greyed because this is INCREDIBLY relevant. Good storytellers are not only allowed to kill named characters, they MUST do so in some genres to do their jobs effectively. Going Full Snyder is cinematic blasphemy because of the reasons characters are killed, and their subsequent impact on the story.
I was speaking of Batman v Superman. You are speaking of Justice League, in which Jimmy Olsen’s ticket was NOT punched. I hope that clarifies this comment.
That is a fair point of clarification. Thank you.
I’m replying to myself... because I might be wrong about that “only one director”. David Ayer’s Suicide Squad might also qualify by that last criterion. (“Let’s kill a named character in the first 20 minutes in the stupidest way possible- I know, have him think the Assassin-Slave Department wouldn’t put working…
You mean “What about the time Marvel ordered Whedon to Kill Quicksilver to Honor their Contract with Fox and keep the Rights to Scarlet Witch?”
We can agree to disagree. Number one, Punching Jimmy Olsen’s ticket was an unforced error- Snyder had complete creative control, and used it to turn Superman’s best friend for decades into a spy before murdering him. In the first five minute of HIS RESPONSE TO THE AVENGERS, Going Full Snyder harmed the interests of…
Post-BvS, this maneuver (murdering a character beloved by fans for meta reasons) is known as Punching Jimmy Olsen’s Ticket, or Going Full Snyder.
I’m a gay man, and my pair of bib overalls are in heavy rotation because my target audience finds them sexy- on men, in male heavy environments, where the bathroom issue is less of a burden. This conversation reminds me of the old idea that the sexiest foreign language accent is dependent on Gender- generally French…
She was surprisingly good in Pieces of April- if Cara Delevingne qualifies as an “actress”, Katie Holmes is “talented”*.

I’m going to be real here- I like non-powered heroes on super-teams, I liked Renner in Hurt Locker.
Hawkeye was dead to me the moment Renner made his gross comment about Black Widow- the sole female character, very important to a lot of little girl-geeks- being a whore.
The secret to the all-crust Peach Cobbler? Is to make it in as many aluminum bread loaf pans as you need to accomodate the recipe.
Perhaps OT, but a reminder: Jade Empire handled the seamless inclusion of LGBT themes (and romantic options) more than a decade ago. Every Bioware franchise since then, save possibly DA:Inquisition, has represented backsliding on their part. “Gaymers” (ugh) in particular should consider grabbing it if they missed it…
That link is to an Australian site that seems to be somewhere between a USA Today and Major market newspaper- there is no question this was a policy they articulated to multiple outlets, and there has never been any protest or correction from the Russian government.
This is excellent re: the order in which to watch the films. I almost didn’t watch the sequels because of the first “protagonists.” They pick up an Idiot Ball at the very beginning of the film- and then pick up more Idiot Balls- and then juggle them- as the film progresses, until you are essentially rooting for the…
People doubted that Lorde was her actual age because of her poise.
