RIP. It’s always tough to hear of someone you “knew” from your past dying, and even worse to hear that a person could live 45 years and still die by suicide. My condolences to all who are grieved by this loss.

The Crimson Countess is a minor character in Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch’s original The Boys comics, just another Vought superhero with a bad personality trying to work her way up to becoming one of the Seven.

“We would like to remind you that your pre-approved opinion on Dave Chappelle is ‘Screw him’.”

Agreed. I wonder about the overlap of people who think his special should be removed but would “defend to the death” a movie like Taxi Driver or a song like “Cop Killer”.

If you get your choice of what goes away forever, someone you disagree with will get theirs, too.

What is the alternative? “I really believe that Chappelle’s comments are not hateful and poised to incite violence, and the 99% score on Rotten Tomatoes is a salient datum, but some people tell me it WILL cause harm, so I have to accede to their demands even though I think they’re just as mistaken as they think I am”?

She really does sorta-kinda blame “me” (all men) for her rape in that special. It was skeevy to me.

That’s why I’ve never bought the whole “she needs to leave her abusive relationship with the Joker!” line that someone came up with and now everyone has to make their own version of. If she can be a character worth writing and reading who still murders people for fun, profit, and convenience, she can have a…

Mmmyeah, your latest efforts weren’t as good as the first one, either, Mr. Scott. And I think the reason Prometheus did much better than Alien: Covenant is because with Prometheus, modern audiences didn’t know whether Ridley Scott had more good Alien stories to tell. By the time Alien: Covenant came around, they had…

The time to fire Cebulski for this has come and gone. He did it, admitted it, apologized for it, and isn’t doing it again. The only point to firing him now would be to “prove” to the most bloodthirsty of critics that Marvel knows what he did was messed up. For Cebulski himself, I’d recommend taking these things on the…

This is a really interesting concept. When the see headlines about “women/POC’s are underrepresented in XXXXX”, it’s something that has a high bar of entry. Hollywood? Not that easy to get your script about a Black family produced. College? There’s a ton of them, but there’s still a high price tag and limited slots.

Great news. JMS gets it done, and he’s great at weaving in all the parts of life that so many other shows leave out, like the influence of culture and religion on a person’s perspective and choices.

Also, it’s worth mentioning that he wrote every episode of seasons three through five of the original series (with one…

The Internet equivalent of saying “Nobody likes you” and sticking your tongue out. Keep telling me how “not-you” I am and thinking it’s not a compliment.

“Can you imagine yourself coming out of this trite bullshit in real life?”

Wouldn’t accuse you of actually trying to mount a counter-argument, but you did really... type words in a sequence, so I’ll give you that.

A couple scenarios:

I feel like the statement “Killmonger is a racist and a villain” would cause some portion of MCU viewers to froth with rage and others to nod and thumbs-up, no in-between.

Also note the chalkboard declaring it “The Princess Bar” and the poster showing the name Madripoor.

First season was pretty bad, but hey, the same was true for TNG. Maybe this will improve.

Time travel? Alright, the most overused sci-fi trope outside of aliens, but you can do some cool things with it.

Time travel to my time period? Ach. Y’know, there’s a reason people like Star Trek. It shows us a bright and…

Whoops, forgot to filter everything you say and do through the Party paradigm. You’d think “mentioning Chick-fil-A without spitting on it” would have been drilled in as unacceptable behavior by now.

You mean after he’s finished the punishment for his crimes? Yes, I’d see another movie he had a hand in. The whole reason we send people to prison is because they did something wrong, and the whole reason we don’t execute or life-imprison most of them is because people who’ve paid their debt to society deserve to get…
