Part of me wishes they had called out the scene but kept it in, encouraging parents to talk to their kids and use it as a teachable moment.

I imagine a modern Flash Gordon would work much like the 1980s Flash Gordon: lots of colour and craziness and science fantasy.
Waititi is a good choice, because the advertisements and half of Thor: Ragnarok was more Flash Gordon than Thor.

Yes. It’s like Dorian Grey. Losing keeps Ash young.

Which is weird in the internet age where a kid born fuzzy and with a tail or one with wings should be pretty big news. It works for a lot of the more “human” X-men but gets problematic with anyone who looks unusual but needs to have been born twenty years ago.

But it also has fantastic performances by Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy, where you actually feel the friendship and believe that Magneto and Professor X are friends but divided by philosophy.

The X-Men are going to be tricky because Mutants have supposedly been around since Egyptian times but no one has noticed before “now” and haven’t been involved in any of the shenanigans prior.
Heck, even Inhumans haven’t really gotten any mention in the movies.

Yeah, that was dumb. But there was a whole lot else going on in that movie. 

They got larger with every FMV in the original game. So I imagine they’re doing the same here, and by the fifth release in the FFVII-remake series they’ll return to being larger than her freakin’ head.

If any group in North America gets to start claiming reparations, it should be the First Nations. You have to start with them and work down to slavery.

Why does the View continue to keep her on the program?

What did they call those camps? The ones the Amercians (and Canadians) put the Japanese into in the 1940s?
The ones that weren’t about killing people, Jewish or otherwise.

We have a pretty good idea what happened here. Occam’s razor and all.

The he was just a kid defense is mystifying to me. The entire process of college admissions is an institution judging you on behavior and performance while you are still just a kid. If tanking calculus should disqualify you from attending an elite university, so too should repeatedly using racial slurs.

So you’re okay with abusing children and using the product of child pornographers as long as it hurts Alex Jones?

Yes. But two wrongs don’t make a right.

Whoever did that is a class-A monster.
Yeah, Alex Jones is a horrible person who disgraces all of humanity. But you don’t use abused children as a weapon! That’s crossing all kinds of lines.

Before the gameplay presentation, a Crystal Dynamics rep told the room that Avengers would have a single-player campaign with the option for cooperative play as well for some of the missions.

It makes sense that they’d have to start limiting pokemon eventually. As they say, 800 unique pokemon sprites, each with their own animations and quirks would be a lot of work. And that’s only going to get harder as more pokemon are added and graphic quality increases.

I remember skipping it for a while thinking it was another lame adaptation designed to cash in. And then catching an episode and being pleasantly surprised.

Yeah. The original shield that he had for ONE ISSUE in 1941 before it was replaced by the circular shield.
