Seriously.

The majority of whom are men.

That's what my 2nd paragraph first sentence meant.

She's not wrong and it is not a gender-specific whinge, either. There are people who want things but don't want to give up anything or work past 6pm. I had a guy coworker who used to complain about how much overtime he was expected to work all the time at a job where we all worked overtime in the crunch but where he…

They are all drawing from the same source of Nimoy, and I don't agree Spiner's performance was all that groundbreaking. He was one of many sons of Spock, so to speak, but I wouldn't say he had Nimoy's influence.

That had nothing to do with Duchovny and everything to do with Carter not having any idea what his story was. At. All. He threw crap at the wall for seven years and then kept throwing because he had zero idea how to wrap everything up. A technique the creators of Alias and Lost learned at his knee.

He built his house on Nimoy's foundation.

Enjoy the normalcy of her dancing?

I'm imagining something along the lines of a massive, killer penguin. And I like it!

Well, I'm still not over Angela Bassett not playing Storm, so while I did like Scarlett, I know that feel.

SHIELD looks good and if the Jessica Jones thing is still on, that's good, but TV is not the same as movies and has a history of far better gender equity than movies do. Buffy, Xena, Alias, Wonder Woman, just to name a few.

Whatever, dude. Occam's Razor works for me, and it doesn't lead me to end up basically fan-ficcing reality.

Well, I don't care about your opinion at all then. Go find someone else you feel you need to correct, DAD!

Well, I'm sure a 14-year-old home-schooled New Zealander can be judged on exactly the same baseline as urban American college-grad millennials.

And, y'know, actually getting herself up to the top of Stark tower with no superpowers and finding out how to close the portal. No biggie.

Totally agreed on WW.

No one outside of comics fandom gives a shit about any of that. They care about movies they can enjoy. The pointless little sting at the end of Avengers made the vast majority of people go, "Uh, okay." And that's fine. It was geek bait and that's all it was meant to be, but if just you 100K comics-reading people go to…

Uhm, yeah. That's what I'm doing. I'm not just feeling like this is a symbolic bridge too far or anything. Just drop it. You're getting your Ant Man movie; it's okay if I vent about not getting what I want. It really is.

Yeah. Too bad RDJ is already playing Tony Stark. Because at the very least half of that film's success was casting him.

I was talking about movies and you were talking about the 1980s X-Men comic, so... no, that wasn't really a conversation I was even trying to start or that had fuck all to do with what I have been talking about.
