“c’mon, you’ve got to see the humor in this right?”

Actually... no. Maybe if the scales in this country weren’t so fucking titled to corporations in the first place, but at this point the only way to hold one accountable for anything is to sue it.  I’m guessing this kind of bullshit is rampant, and I’m glad that…

I really hope he wins - if Cinemark are shorting people on the drinks, does anyone really think they’ve somehow maintained scrupulous honesty about their other practices?

I love that this article is all pearl clutching over the idea of this lawsuit but it seems pretty legitimate:

I refuse to take anything a Disney adult has to say seriously.

Disney hasn’t had a bonafide hit that didn’t require an asterisk this year.

The version I saw had him devastating a city — the sort of thing that had consequences in the MCU, spawning the second wave and still echoing now — and snapping Zod’s neck. It certainly felt like a low cost knock off.

I think they were referencing the Suez Canal.

I don’t get the snarky take here. This isn’t some random cash grab - it’s a legend whose onetime best friend was killed coming as close as he can to sharing a stage with his friend one more time. It’s not “see John as if he were alive” or something creepy.

I think you may be misunderstanding a bit how this stuff works. What we have here is a snippet of legally vetted description of the incident. What actually happened, in context, likely made someone feel uncomfortable (or objectified or threatened) enough that the people in the know saw it as a fireable offense.

No…

Hopefully your tombstone won’t read “he got regularly outraged on behalf of sexual harassers”

Just think to yourself it’s just a silly show and you should just relax.

I thought the “they don’t work” thing regarding stones in Loki was specifically that they don’t work in TVA headquarters.

Or they simply fall under the “magic doesn’t work in the TVA” rule. They never showed us what would happen if someone snatched a stone and tried to use it in another timeline or whatever.

All right, who had Barsanti giving a bad review to a fun episode after whining the day before about how the episodes were too dark?

Oh, everyone did. That’s right.

“Why, it’s almost like the show has been quietly setting up some kind of arc for its narrator, but would could have possibly seen that coming?!”

Would could…

Yeah, let’s stop sitting indoors and staring at screens, get out of the house and go to a building where you pay twelve bucks to sit indoors and stare at a screen. But now you’re surrounded by strangers, you can’t pause the movie, and all the food costs $30. This is better, we promise.

That is absolutely NOT the message. Thanks for coming out, though.

This happened during a Zoom call— “Harris-Lawrence, who is Black, asked a second person on the call, a writer who is also Black, if they had received the email... [she] said she would forward the email to the other writer. “Look at that,” Greg Spottiswood said, “a monkey passing the ball to another monkey.”

Ah, the good ol’ “white men just can’t do no right in this PC SJW MeToo cancel-culture-run-amuck world” that’s never not bullshit.

The message is don’t be a toxic asshole. Especially one bad enough to cause five writers to quit en masse in protest of your profound asshattery.

I move for a bad court thingy.
