Cawthon responded to the public backlash by reiterating his beliefs while also claiming to have love for the LGBTQ+ members of his fanbase, despite supporting powerful people who have done everything they can to harm them.

I don’t understand why people think there needs to be some kind of “work” to “bring in” mutants. Before Dr. Strange, we didn’t know about all the sorcerers and the three Sanctums. Boom—the movie tells us they exist. We saw Thanos, but not his four “children”, prior to Infinity War. Movie tells us they exist, and it…

Just got a car that can interface with my iPhone. Gonna do one of these for Apple CarPlay, I hope?

I thought it lost it well before the third act. The beginning was interesting enough, I held on through the “I insist on coming into the shit with you despite having no skill and being a total liability” thing, and then they get into the red zone...

LIGHT SPOILERS

And then a character kneecaps another character for…

Freaking awesome response. Thank you. I’m an “aspiring pacifist” who still finds himself fantasizing about giving as good as I got back in the day. I’m glad you take the position you do. There’s no point in saying trite things like “be better” if we’re going to use the “enemy’s” tools and tactics whenever it suits us.

Just an FYI for everyone:

I’m thinking the Xbox One controller has to be the best for me (haven’t played on a Series X/S yet and I don’t feel like getting into the minutae of elite and other specifics). A controller has to be big enough to fit comfortably in my hands without so much negative space, so pretty much anything before the…

And has a better ending than the original short story!

You.

He said he’s already (thru HBO Max) paid to see it, so you can’t even use the excuse of “I was trying to save him some money.” If someone says they’re looking forward to seeing it, and for a specific reason, it’s douchey for you to chime in, unsolicited, to say, “For my money, the movie failed to carry that…

They DID see a dime. They saw lots and lots of dimes when they signed the contracts that said “Write us these issues and get paid for them, and agree that we own the rights to all the characters therein, especially because we already own most of them (Cap, Red Skull, Sharon Carter, etc.)

I dig Brubaker wishing he’d…

Preeecisely. Whedon’s blood is in the water, everyone loves reading about the drama, and so Vanity Fair et. al. are more than happy to stick a mic under this guy who’s willing to say, “I also think that Whedon was the source of all the movie’s problems!”

I understand that it looks bad on the front end, but it seems to be trying SOME middle ground between “everything is allowed and the Devil take the hindmost” and “Don’t worry, we’ll just decide what’s best for you.” I think either of those extremes would be easier to sugarcoat and “sell,” but they’re both less…

Agreed. I remember reading the first half and thinking, “Okay, this is just... things happening.” By the end, the stories had largely converged and I’d learned which characters to care about, and it was interesting finale. I remember it getting a lot of acclaim upon release, and I don’t think it was anything all that…

So are genderfluid/genderqueer/etc. people considered “trans” as well, or is the trans flag an “umbrella” flag at this point, or is SonicFox a trans woman, or this there a better way of putting this than any of the above?

You might like a book called God Jr. by Dennis Cooper then. One-sentence synopsis: A guy gets high and plays his son’s Banjo-Kazooie save file to try to understnad him after he dies in a car wreck.

Kinda sounds like you’re saying, “There needs to be a woman on the team, and by ‘woman,’ I mean, ‘Woman who will vote the way I want her to.’”

I’m surprise you all seem to be in agreement that Wanda had a “well, sorry, I guess” attitude as she left Westview in the finale. It looked a lot more to me like, “I’m truly sorry, and I wish I could make amends, but I’m also one of the seven billion people on Earth who’d rather escape the negative consequences of my…

Turn off motion blur.

“Hey, would you like to see less? Would you like your sense of vision to be less useful? Would you like it if every time your character (checks notes) FREAKING TURNS, the world around you gets murkier?”

Rather than revel in the thought that he’s learned nothing and will sulk off somewhere to quietly foam at the mouth about being defeated like some kind of cartoon villain, I hope he really did leave on good terms and will find something positive and constructive to work on from here on out.

This question’s been asked either here or on io9 before, so I won’t share previous submissions for my favorites, but I found myself reminded of Phyrexian Hulk recently, and I love imagining an old man rasping out the rhyme:

“It doesn’t think, it doesn’t feel,
It doesn’t laugh or cry,
All it does, from dusk till dawn,
Is…
