You read my mind, MZvAOD and MZ 3 & 4 are the only things worth reading in the line (I didn’t like MZ5 very much, honestly.) Machine Man is SO good here.

You have to scroll pretty far down the list of wealthiest people in the US to find an Indian person.

Uhhhhhhhh. Well then. I wanted to just assume the previous Immortal Hulk “problem” was an accident. Which maybe it still was? But..... well then.

Free speech is literally guaranteed by the first amendment. With a couple of notable exceptions, we pretty much have it in America. Other than death threats, virtually no one is in jail just for something they said. No one’s really arguing for that to change.

When you broaden it to include people being dropped by…

Fuck! I mostly revile mainstream superhero art but Bennett was a perfect fit for Ewing’s Hulk.  It’s a goddamned shame, but yeah fuck him.

Noted about the authors - however I was more responding to this quote:

Okay. How are you defining free speech here? Or censorship. Is a governing body saying you can’t say that the same as regular citizen saying it or a private enterprise? Also do you believe in exceptions for things like fraud, child pornography, threats or copyrighted material, which are all limits placed free speech…

How can you make an entire book on cartoon censorship and not discuss Queer creators? Are you kidding me? Sounds like a tome for white male grievances. The fact that they’re platforming TERFs says enough.

It’s a pop culture site examining how a major celebrity manages his image and how that image has evolved. They’re not digging in. It’s a thoughtful and balanced piece.

I actually feel kind of bad for them. They just had a good base to work off of, but the second they’re on their own they screw it up. Nothing could live up to that expectation as provided through the meticulous writing of Martin over the years. 

Nothing brings a fandom together like collective disappointment. Take The Rise of Skywalker, for example. I think it was a healing force in the aforementioned toxic Star Wars fandom, because everyone came together in their belief that it was pretty lackluster.

I kinda care. I don’t want to give money or support to people that in turn use theirs to get people like Trump elected. If someone supports the shit the republican party is doing it makes them a bad person. You’ve seen how Texas decided to just fuck over women (or anyone else biologically capable of being pregnant)…

FIN FANG FOOM!

Disney could save itself a world of hurt in both cases by admitting that, yes, there is some justice in the allegations but there are also substantial differences (as you’ve pointed out), and they’d be happy to negotiate in good faith to reach an agreement.

My issue actually isn’t that this website tanked the show with a D — I’d of course prefer that their coverage not be affected by their features. My issue is that this show is offensively bad and validating it with this article is actively harmful. I really don’t care what sweet Netflix bucks you got for this, it…

there’s only so many stories you can tell about talking lions in Africa.

I’m thinking there’s a lot of Berenstain Bears/Sinbad starring as a genie named “Shazam” effect going on here.

Esp. since Scar doesn’t bang Simba’s mom, and Simba doesn’t die at the end. 

Yeah.  Hamlet of course too is all about Hamlet trying to deal with the fact about whether he SHOULD kill his uncle or not.  There’s never any of that weighing down Simba.
