Consider the types of stories that are told in Star Wars: stories of people journeying around the galaxy, going on missions and meeting lots of different kinds of people. They rarely stay in one place for very long, and the places they do stay are cultural melting pots. Of course we don’t see that much of the local…

I think making Magneto a person of color is one of the few cases where that is just straight-up a bad idea. The optics are shaky enough as it is, do you really want a movie in which a rich white dude tells a black man who survived a genocide that he should put up with his oppressors for the greater good? Do you want…

I think it’s just to illustrate that he lives in an alternate universe. Like how the ads in his Times Square are all for fictional products.

I have an explanation for that! Either Hydra didn’t know about mutants, or they didn’t consider any of them genuine threats.

To answer the question about telling people his name: you can't just say "shazam" and become a superhero. You gotta really say it. Put some oomph into it.

Chopping Mall is the most obvious answer I can think of.

It fits much better with his development in Ant-Man. He ended the film realizing that he isn’t just protecting his daughter; there’s a lot more at stake than just what affects him personally. So him choosing to join up with his friends whom the film paints as being in the right (regardless of anyone’s personal…

I think at this point “thicc” is just a generic term for hot.

I think the problem with Widow in AoU was that Whedon was trying to use the whole sterilization thing as a symbol for the horrific training she had to undergo that turned her into a monster, and that was also probably the reason she had a romantic subplot with Banner (the two characters with monsters inside of them…

So a chihuahua.

Asteroids.

Also they kill upwards of 96% of animals placed in their care. Including pets they just straight-up kidnap off of people’s porches.

That’s false. To quote Snopes (https://www.snopes.com/radiotv/tv/mrrogers.asp):

Yeah, I remember in fifth grade when I deliberately checked the price of candy to determine whether or not anything was up. Just like any 9-year-old would normally do.

I know you’re joking, but that would actually be super badass.

What you’ve said was absolutely incorrect in every conceivable way and I believe you should be submitted to a mental institution for even considering it, but I have to respect that you came out and said something you knew would be unpopular.

The universal rule is 12 kilometers out is international waters and is therefore governed only by nautical law.

Good marketing.

To a certain degree, it is important to show kids idolizing characters not of their race (or gender, for that matter), but less than showing people of color as main characters (or, in the case of this commercial, simply having children of color as the focus). And the presence of a white boy in the background shows…

The reason what he said is bad is because, while it is true, it’s inherently dismissive of the victims of the “lesser crime,” and acts as an excuse for something that frequently leads to something worse down the line. What he’s saying isn’t literally incorrect, but his saying it makes has some pretty messed-up…
