...you’re kind of an asshole, aren’t you? I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m going to answer these things, but you’re aware that there’s a big difference between “let’s have a conversation about the in-universe politics in this movie that just came out” and “allow me to berate you for having a different opinion from me”,…

Also—sorry for the double-reply—bringing up the whole “raised outside of Wakanda” thing would be a disaster, because Killmonger can legitimately say, “I was raised outside of Wakanda because your father killed my brother and abandoned me outside of Wakanda. Why should I pay further for your father’s actions?” It leads…

Except you’re only thinking one move ahead. T’Challa is thinking three moves ahead—Killmonger is not the only threat to his throne he’s got to worry about. If he tries to discredit Killmonger based on family ties, he is discrediting his own clan. There’s no way that ends well even if he successfully fends off…

The comic book Hawkeye? Absolutely. It’s a dude who said, “Hmm, being a carny really isn’t working out for me. I bet it can’t be that hard to be a professional full-time superhero, right?” And he just went out and did it! He put on a purple outfit (which he totally rocks, by the way) and grabbed his bow and arrow, and…

Right there with you on the “phone = death” thing. I’ve tried and tried explaining this to my dad, who regularly sends emails that just say, “Give us a call as soon as you get a chance.” I’m like, “This is translated to my generation as, ‘A beloved relative just died and I need to let you know through the personalized…

I’m pretty done with him too, which is frustrating because he’s playing one of my favorite Marvel characters. I can’t wait for the inevitable recast so that Hawkeye isn’t that guy that makes me wince a little every time he talks. :)

Personally, I don’t feel like I’m ever going to get tired of Ryan North’s Squirrel Girl. There’s a charming optimism and warmth beneath the humor; Squirrel Girl succeeds in getting through to villains and reforming them as often as she beats them in a fight by suggesting that there’s more to life than simply proving…

But that was the problem—he couldn’t hit him with one truthful accusation. Killmonger’s true power was in the fact that he could, quite honestly, say he was the son of the lost prince who was secretly murdered by the king, and that he’s returned bearing the corpse of the kingdom’s greatest enemy. The stuff that…

He recognized that if he had called out Killmonger as the one that rescued Klaue, Killmonger would simply have responded with something glib about setting a trap to catch Klaue that succeeded where T’Challa and his father failed. He decided, pretty smartly in my opinion, to skip straight to the combat rather than give…

“Nobody criticizes gay people!” says the man loudly and repeatedly criticizing gay people.

Still continuing to prove that LGBT kids don’t face any kind of stigmatization when they come out, huh? You’re doing a bang-up job.

I don’t care if she is gay

I don’t know that she’s wise beyond her years, simply because I know so many people her age who have such a great self-knowledge regarding their sexual identity, orientation, and an awareness of their bodily autonomy that outstrips most of their elders. I think it’s more that the older generations are foolish beyond…

As long as assholes like you are around, it will always take courage to come out.

He’s probably going through some coping. It’s a huge shift, finding out someone you thought was a good person may have been really terrible, and I think it’s something best done in private.

So “I won’t settle this case!” is Trump for “I will settle this case in a way that admits no wrongdoing!”, right?

Hey, he backed Theranos, so clearly his instincts are beyond question.

I’m not sure it won’t. The whole series has been leading up to the idea that a system that has so many pointless, arbitrary rules and such deep, permanent consequences for mistakes is itself unjust and immoral. The Bad Place operates on the assumption that people can’t change after death, and that therefore torturing…

But he was heavily involved in BvS and JL. And frankly, the kind of numbers those movies did would get most movie executives shot, not just fired. This is a demotion.

Is Mister Skipperdoo in this one? Because I was pretty bugged at the complete lack of Mister Skipperdoo in the last one.
