There’s a pretty wide gulf between “ban religion” and “don’t make policy based on religious tenets.”

Isn’t it funny that Joe Biden announced his candidacy after this event was over? It’s like he didn’t want to have to go on stage and answer for his pro-segregationist, tough-on-crime, Anita Hill past.

“I know a major aspect of Danny Rand is also that’s he an outsider who comes to a strange land and becomes the best magic martial artist ever, but that same aspect would be served exactly as well if Danny was an Asian-American.”

Ah, the “SJW” code word.

Did you ever consider that Asians are the majority in...Asian countries? So they have massive representation in their media. Using a popular white actress to play The Major might not be such a big deal. People like ScarJo, so more will give her a pass than other actresses.

Big name leads draw big box office which equals big budgets to make these effects laden movies.

That’s because the Japanese have already done their version of Ghost in The Shell with an ethnically correct cast. This adaption would be accepted by the Japanese as an “Americanization” much in the same way Kurosawa adapted a pulp noir Ed Mcbain novel using a Japanese cast. In America, this is considered “…

Anyone who claims SJW’s did it is also an “SJW”. It’s like an idiotic mirror.

Except it actually has people interacting with the smallfolk and showing their plight. And in regards to themes, there are a hell of a lot more than them in the book than you’ll find in the show, because according to the showrunners, themes are for grade school book reports

The show also entirely cut out Tysha’s existence from Tyrion’s life and that’s no less important to the character. Just because something is “cut” doesn’t mean it won’t matter.
Brienne and Jaime are headed towards a confrontation with Stoneheart; two of those three will most likely die. The show opted instead to have…

He’ll probably give his life saving Daenerys who will then weep for him and finally tell him that she loves him AKA a typical Nice Guy(tm) wish fulfilment. (I really hope that won’t happen, but I wouldn’t place a bet on it.)

What’s a red herring character? I can’t think of any character from the books that don’t add some layer to the story or compliment a main character

“Couldn’t be bothered”...oh yeah, he’s not working intently to finish a extremely layered and complicated multi pov story set in a world with thousands of years of back story....he just can’t be bothered. I really understand why he rarely goes online with ‘fans” anymore

Don’t remind us book loyalists. Fucking GRRM needs to get Winds of Winter. This wait is absurd!

In the MCU, “Stan Lee” is actually an older Agent Coulson, on top-secret time-traveling missions to the past.

My personal theory is that Obi-Wan Kenobi kills himself in Star Wars as a deliberate, last-ditch attempt to save the entire Rebellion from what will happen if Darth Vader realizes who, exactly, is on the Millenium Falcon.

The villain in Star Trek Into Darkness wasn’t the real Khan. The real Khan is still frozen.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

No, no, Edwin is his middle name. His first name is Mister.
