Fuck this guy. I lost an aunt to Covid in February, lost Aunt in Law in March. I couldn’t visit the hospital or funeral for either one. And I had to sweat out the whole year because my asshole sibling, who lives with my elderly mother and refused to get the vaccine because he “doesn’t know if it is safe yet”. Fuck…

The problem isn’t that games don’t translate well, it’s that filmmakers don’t even try - they just do their own thing, often discarding the entire premise of the source material

Headcanon is fucking stupid,

Grainne Godfree (such a New Gods sounding name)

Do you think companies need to “force” diversity if they are European?

it’s not necessarily going to make for a better or more socially acceptable movie

From the info I’m getting from you and others, it seems like Klemmer and Keto Shimuzu, writer who has risen through the ranks of Arrowverse staff to become a writer/producer on L0T, are two of the key creative contributors behind the show’s revamp.

Thanks. Yes it seems that Shimizu is not only the secret sauce (or at least a major ingredient) in L0T’s turnaround, she’s written or co-written some of the best Arrowverse stories. 

Who are the creative powerhouses behind Legends? Most cult shows — like Dr. Who, Firefly, Supernatural — attract fan bases around their creators. Perhaps its just my mistaken impression, but I don’t see as much interest around LoT’s creative voices — especially the ones that made that big change starting season 2.

Greatest accidental episode of Black Mirror ever.

So now Marvel fans can proudly tell everyone that Black Panther is a better movie than Citizen Kane with the stats to back it up.

I do, however, have credible confirmation that Close once got down in a Burger King bathroom.

The MCU movies are largely chaste affairs. Tony Stark has a few bedroom scenes, Star Lord has one, but otherwise it’s mostly hand holding and shy romantic kisses. I doubt the Shang Chi would veer from that model. Frankly, the Asian martial arts films that are that movie’s primary influences — Crouching Tiger, films by…

In a way Sharon is a metaphor for millennials dealing with the absolute trash that prior generations have made of this world. Everything that she was raised and taught to believe mattered has betrayed, endangered and finally banished her. Even Steve left her dangling in the end. Now she is doing exactly what the world…

There’s only one sequence in Clear and Present Danger that sticks with me: the murder of Ann Magnuson’s character by what she thinks is a warm, romantic embrace but is actually a headlock to break her neck. We just see a moment of discomfort on Magnuson’s face and she hasn’t fully grasped the situation but its…

To paraphrase Hawkeye: you and I remember Nick Fury very differently. I won’t be very surprised if Val is a villain, but my suspicion is she is going to remain gray as a character. Of course, she could also be a Skrull.

though the extent to which he became that (c0mic relief) is quite mild by literary standards.

I don’t think it’s automatic that Val’s storyline will be an exact replica of the Dark Avengers plot because a) the MCU usually makes some significant alteration to the stories and characters they borrow from comics (as they did with the Skrulls and Agatha Harkness and b) Val could be more General Ross or Amanda…

But I’m beyond excited for Shang-Chi. 

It’s a misstatement on my part to say Cage has never been the lead in an MK game. What I should have said was given the themes and influences of MK and the nature of Cage’s character (both identity and personality) he’s a creatively problematic choice for protagonist in the first salvo of the franchise, whether it is…
