There’s lots of things they could do. Doctor Strange would be the one to call, for one. They could also contact Wakanda and ask them what happened to the corpse of Vision that should’ve been in their custody after the events of IW.

I think Wanda could make a great villain. I’m not familiar with the comicbook trope of “emotional” women, but I think the MCU deserves a pass because they already have a majority of female characters that aren’t that. “Women shouldn’t ever play villains” is not at all a good corrective to sexism in media; villains are…

But it does make for a lousy mystery.

Hemsworth’s dog named Mike Hat.

I’m willing to bet that there’s only one reason why movies like these get made. Every property owned by a studio is divvied up amongst its army of execs whose careers are made by successfully getting them made into movies. So congratulations, Nameless Warner Bros Flunky In Charge Of The Willy Wonka IP. You’ve proven…

First, we’re talking about Indiana Jones in addition to Lara Croft, and also the British are the biggest plunderers of cultural artifacts in the real world as opposed to the fictional one you live in. Second, by all means try telling a modern-day Chinese person that they have no real connection to, say, the…

If you think foreign cultural artifacts belong in an American museum, then I hope you won’t mind if Malaysian archeologists take the Liberty Bell and install it permanently in Kuala Lumpur.

That speaks directly to the problem the show has had from the very beginning. A maverick break-all-the-rules-but-gets-results lead character in a Trek show works when it’s Captain Kirk, because he’s the Captain. It only works when that character is the captain.

With 24 movies across almost 60 years, you’re bound to get a very wide variance of opinions. I’ve seen a guy claim with all seeming sincerity that Die Another Day is his favorite.

That was from an era of Bond films in which the producers simply couldn’t imagine the point of a female character with lines and significant screentime if she doesn’t sleep with Bond.

He should teach his sons what his parents taught him, i.e. they owe nothing to no one and should feel no obligation towards using their superpowers for good.

Hello there, toxic masculinity.

(And I’d point out that in BvS Superman is a good guy, and he’s trying to figure out how to best use his power to help others, which is something Objectivists do not concern themselves with.)

or how he objectify the Amazons in JL(the Amazon actors were allowed creative decisions on their own costume, and they chose the suits worn in the movie).

So I saw the scene in question.

As a person of Chinese ethnicity who is cognizant of Western media’s thinly-veiled racism against Asians AND has no truck with the CCP- controlled, biased-as-all-fuck media in China...

Okay fine, we’ll give the lead role to the Asian guy. But make sure there are no other Asian people, ‘cos that would be one too many.

I’m also fond of a moment when she discovers her son doing a striptease for a crowd of women yelling “Take it off!” - “PUT IT ON!”

Why do bullies always have entourages? Because being able to bully and humiliate others is worth the price of occasionally being bullied and humiliated yourself.

Too bad Jackie’s formula for introducing himself to Hollywood never worked again. Tony Jaa and Iko Uwais are still playing scowling villains who get beaten up by white male heroes. Even Jet Li, perhaps the most successful Asian action star in the US beside Chan, had to do Lethal Weapon 4.
