Don’t forget that the Timekeepers are actively molding people’s roles in the Sacred Timeline. Loki’s purpose is to be a heel, so heroes like the Avengers can become better versions of themself. He always loses, he’s always alone, and his narcissism and other character flaws always lead him in a self-destructive…
As I recall. In Season 4, Dean goes back in time and meets his mom. But he’s told by Castiel that he can’t actually change history and when he returns to the present, everything still happened the same way, even though he warned his mom about her death.
Jamie Foxx watching Jonah Hill’s career the last 10 years: “WTF is he doing?”
Jamie Foxx seems to have the most incomprehensible attitude toward his own career.
I completely agree with you. I also find it odd that the frame here appears to be that Lin Manuel Miranda must be taken to task. If you were going to assemble a list of the Top 5 creators working today who have been instrumental in moving the ball substantially down the field with regards to advancing BIPOC…
I feel like there is a difference between “this movie needs more dark-skinned afro-latinx characters to truly represent the diversity of the latinx experience in Washington Heights” vs “this movie purposely excluded dark-skinned latinx to push an intentional colorist agenda”.
Okay, I’ll bite. Out of a cast of four leads: 1 lead, or 25% of the main cast, is a dark-skinned black man (Corey Hawkins). He’s not Latinx - but this is still a film where non-light-skinned, black folks are represented. 1 lead, or another 25%, identifies as Afro-Latinx (Leslie Grace), and is Dominican. Yes, she is…
I’m just going to say it - a lot of the comments were VERY WEIRD on here about this? By which I mean people not only eagerly dismissing her potential culpability in knowing what she was participating in but ALSO in how dismissive this was as an issue.
Y’alls reaction to this Ellie Kemper story (and the commentariat outrage about it that has spilled over into so many other articles) reminds me of my time waiting tables in DC. When I was working in restaurants & bars, there was this funny, constant and well-known phenomena that a manager pointed out to me early on…
Latino is the male form. It also applies to mixed and unknown.
Latinx was also invented by Spanish speakers. Its general first use is accepted as a Puerto Rican Psychological periodical paper about the lack of gender inclusive language pronouns in Spanish.
People tend to write Latinx in things as gender neutral just cover everyone officially. It’s kinda just been decided as a catch all, I think it’s cool to be inclusive and take that into consideration like using “their” instead of him or her for nonbinary people. You and people you know may not like it so don't use it.…
You’re here because you have a copypasta folder instead of friends or productive hobbies, and it shows.
To those going “why did she make such a big deal about it??” It speaks to her qualifications on the very subject under discussion. There are times when asking to be referred to as Dr. Doolittle is unnecessary, but during a discussion ON THE TOPIC OF YOUR DOCTORATE is not one of them.
I smoked pot daily for about four, perhaps four-and-a-half years, in my mid-to-late 20s. It was mostly great, though by the end I started to have some anxiety issues. Were they related to pot, or was I dealing with other deeper shit? Was I possibly even self-medicating? I have no idea.
I was first thinking, “Great. Another Marvel movie.” But I was pretty quickly won over like you. A lot of it really has to do with seeing Asian faces onscreen. I’m Asian American and I’ll support this movie like I did Crazy Rich Asians (which I thought was really nothing special), but this one I think really hit me…
Not a word about the terrifying giant ants, hideous mutants affected by atomic radiation?
Yes, I am old.
That’s fair, but they were clearly positioned as his supportive friend and girlfriend. And, Lemar is clearly his sidekick. He’s fine when things are going his way, and they’re there to support him, but I’m curious what happens when he runs into deeper adversity. Maybe it’s just a cop out for John Walker not to be…
