As for whose fault, I’d blame director and/or scriptwriter. (And maybe Rowling, if she still had enough pull to get this changed but didn’t.) It’s their vision(s) that would guide how it gets played - the actor can certainly have input, but it should be the director’s final say on what happens.

I read that as “I lost good parts to all those bastards”.
I’ll get crucified for this but:
That’s more of a Gen X approach. They are going for more of a “Millennial” approach which means more Snapchat or something.
Hopkins seems to be having fun raking in cash with roles that are . . . not terribly serious. It reminds me a lot of what Michael Caine said when someone asked him if he had seen Jaws: The Revenge, which he starred in.
I don’t care what Edna says, capes make the woman!
The art was hot garbage, too.
It’s too bad they can’t blame Alan Moore and Dr. Manhattan for all their problems.
It’s possible to create new, diverse characters and have them operate without having someone else “step down”.
Yeah, crossovers permanently killed any interest I had in ongoing comics series, way back in the ‘80s. I was perfectly happy reading one regular X-Men series by the same creative team. I did not give a shit about having to read four or five separate X-Books every month to figure out what the hell was going on.
People who make your arguments just imagine that Asians are somehow different, that they see themselves through Western cultural lens, rather than their own.
I’ve seen this article linked many times, along with similar comments as you’ve stated.
I have heard that argument, and it is not convincing.
Possibly, but we have no idea the level of Oliver’s skill and he was clearly still addled, not even remembering Melanie until the last minute.
I think Shadow King is a mutant with abilities just a step below Professor X, who himself is a step below Legion. Shadow King got into Legion before he really developed his powers, or knew about them, and thus he wasn’t able to fight back. I believe Oliver is just less powerful, leaving him vulnerable to Shadow King…
That actually made him more dispicable for me-—which is a good thing because you don’t want a two-dimensional villain. This is a gay man with a Black son. He knows bigotry. But there he is ready to murder everyone who doesn’t share his DNA. This has got to come up enventually and I can’t wait to see it.
If it’s somewhat novel for the series in question, yes it would get announced. I mean, let’s say the next incarnation of the Doctor turns out to be a woman. That would be a big deal, even though women are pretty common.
No, Jack, Rory AND Mickey all pulled their eventual weight as Companions with a capital C. Unless you want to count Tegan and not Nysa? Same thing.
