why do people get off on consequences and punishment for stupid little things? this american love of following rules?

The Cull Obsidian is another name for the Black Order. He’s still Black Dwarf, Cull Obsidian is just a reference to his team, probably confused when labeling the toys. He’s still Black Dwarf in the movie.
All this spite and hate at fans and marvel for something you don’t even care about? What’s the point?

Fuck you for the spoiler in the title.

you’re a major tool

His popularity is exactly why Trump is popular, just with a different demographic - overtly narcissistic and sort of a train-wreck to watch, yet because they can hold our attention they tend to get rewarded for such.

I find this so disappointing. I loved the length! Wish more (good) films took a risk to have a movie so long, to be such an immersive event. I didn’t want Blade Runner 2049 to end.

this isn’t snark. why do people like this show? i have a very hard time with the aesthetic and the acting is very over-done.

Americans have an obsession with autonomy that is unlike anywhere else in the world. I don’t mean that as criticism or hyperbole, there’s an exaggerated assumption that everything develops toward greater autonomy. It’s the air we breathe. (My wife is foreign and I travel a great deal for work) So even the need to be…

Yeah, well, we know what kinds of people use ‘SJW’ and think any inclusion of a non-white non-male character is “unnecessary” or “forced” are making headlines these days.

As complex as Morrison’s New X-Men is, that’s the series, along with Uncanny X-Force, that I’d give to new people to try out. New X-Men went a long way in creatively expanding the X-Men. Unfortunately, few following authors could keep up.

I had wondered if this was indeed a call-back to Central Asian cultures, from which Luke’s white robes have a kind of Sufi-vibe. In India, folks just find one of the cows walking around (that eats all kinds of garbage and sewage) and just drinks straight from their utter or milks them right there in the street.

I’m an ex-Star Wars fan who is getting back into it harder than I expected because of how much the Last Jedi impacted me (in a good way), but the fans have always been difficult for me.

Besides what recent IO9 articles have pointed out, the fandom’s clear preference for the Empire has always bugged me. There’s that…

I thought this was a good movie, much better than the prequels or TFA. It focused on drama and character over plot-driven “we need to get this over with” action and story beats. I think it is harder to accept for some hard core fans because, let’s be honest, besides messing with (in a good way) a lot of Star Wars…

your response is exactly why some people hate star wars fans.

God I SO relate. I was a big Star Wars fan growing up. I’m around your age, it seems, and was probably 11 when the Phantom Menace came out and held on for a long time. I have a Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader 3 3/4 action figures on my shelf.

I don’t like the prequels, but The naked hatred like “George Lucas killed my…

strongly disagree. following rules is good, but airlines are becoming increasingly de-humanizing - putting dozens of people in increasingly cramped quarters with fewer and fewer luxuries like a place for your arms or legs to go is going to incite agitation and distress. you can’t impose intense psychological pressures…

your point is really dumb. just because there’s a study, doesn’t make it some wide-ranging fact.
We don’t know how wide-ranging the study is, and, some people may enjoy it, it may help with some movies, but it is a matter of personal preference. I don’t like spoilers. My wife does.

well said! yes, as a young kid seeing the high numbers made me feel there was so much possibility in the character - future and past. I think the possibility to be ongoingly attached to a character was a major part of why i was attracted to comic books (besides being an artist and my dad a cartoonist).

Even with…

great point about Punisher in Secret Empire.

It’s not whether a character kills or not, it’s what he represents as a motif and archetype. You don’t see the US military with deadpool patches all over because Deadpool is played as an absurd character, and him being a kind of mercenary/villain/joke is well understood.

Punisher is a psychopath, he’s a critique on…
