I was very annoyed to see Vito’s death compared to Tara from Buffy. Buffy is a completely different genre, Tara’s death was not inevitable, and we need to separate the pattern of randomly killing off gay characters from realistic depictions of homophobia.

Those disclaimers tend to come with projects about little-known figures and events (e.g. Hidden Figures), not shows about people/events everyone knows. There was no disclaimer for The Favourite or other films about royals that have taken liberties with history. No one complained about this series being inaccurate when…

No, the state is trying to force them to.

Ironically the show probably represents the royal family as being less racist than they actually were in real life. The Crown could be even less flattering to the royals if they wanted to. They brought up Charles’s mentor Laurens Van Der Post this season without mentioning that he raped a 14 year old child. The royal…

The problem is that they don’t issue disclaimers like this for other projects about people without royal clout. 

All the men with substance problems who don’t abuse women or children tend to get erased in these discussions, which is actually pretty unfair to them.

He should really replace her microwave, what if she needs to heat up a cup of tea?

“[Heard is] begging for total global humiliation. She’s gonna get it. I’m gonna need your texts about San Francisco brother … I’m even sorry to ask … But she sucked [Elon Musk’s] crooked dick and he gave her some shitty lawyers … I have no mercy, no fear and not an ounce of emotion or what I once thought was love for…

Give it a go, it’s much more than bleak. Its depiction of trauma is exceptionally nuanced, that’s why people talk so much about it. It’s also really funny and the world it’s set in is richly developed. 

You’ve hit the nail on the head. The difference between Bojack and Don is that BH doesn’t set us up to pity or excuse Bojack despite everything bad that happened to him. In MM, Don might be a train wreck in his personal life, but this is explained away by his tortured childhood, plus he’s brilliant at his job and…

His stories aimed at adults are surprisingly misogynistic, I am not shocked that he was a shitty husband.

I just wanted to add, because a friend reminded me, that James Corden also starred in the horrible, misogynistic and essentially homophobic movie called Lesbian Vampire Killers in 2009, which is another reason he was horribly miscast in a heartwarming movie about queer teen girls going to the prom. If you’re going to…

Go with the names they use now. I would say Caitlin Jenner won in the Olympics, in the men’s decathlon and Elliot Page was nominated for Best Actress. If you were talking to someone who doesn’t know who these people are, you could say ‘Caitlin Jenner won the men’s decathlon before she transitioned.’ Only someone…

He’s non-binary and identifies as queer. 

“Before he transitioned, Elliot Page played a pregnant teenage girl in Juno.” Juno was a pregnant teenage girl, but make sure you separate the actor from the character. It’s like any other case of an actor playing a role that doesn’t line up with their own gender, like the time Cate Blanchett played Bob Dylan.

Someone had to ask this question. James Corden is the Anne Veal of late night television. Really? That guy? We don’t have room for almost any women in late night, but we made room for him?

Remember that standards of attractiveness are uh, different, in England.

When Anne says Charles is older than his years, she doesn’t mean the good things about being old (perspective, wisdom, patience), she means that he’s stuffy, rigid, hostile to change, cantankerous, and out of touch.

I would also add, that dancing seems to be one of the few activities Diana is depicted as enjoying in her miserable palace life, and this is her attempt to share that with him. It was a terrible gift, but it’s believable that she was being clueless, not malicious.

A D+ is way too harsh.
