There are a lot of things I dislike about this piece and about the current state of the site, and it’s obviously a fine line before you get to Zombie Deadspin.

The casting call should be open to all races, genders, and body types.

Proto Man disapproves of AV Club’s articles

Why should I when you’ll probably decide it’s a task only you can do?

You don’t have to be the guy.  Plenty of idiots here who are happy to be unpaid proofreaders and editors for some reason.

Those snippets are entirely representative of the review and the reason it was taken down. I just explained why. To say a story isn’t relatable enough because it’s about a girl and a girl who is Asian is ridiculous. Especially when some kids movies about mermaids with dead mothers pursuing a person they just met and…

I think one white guy saying “I do not relate to this movie not about white guys” is not a good take. Then you either realize that 1. You are the wrong person to review this movie or 2. You are incapable of opening yourself up to the experiences of others who are different than you and please refer back to #1.

Counterpoint: Empire Strikes Back was released in 1980. Audiences were still pretty used to downbeat and bummer endings, the previous decade having seen a sort of all time high for such things. Consider the endings to the films in what was the closest thing to a sci fi blockbuster franchise before Star Wars, the Planet…

I mean—possibly? That’s probably already been done in some comic or other.

Its probably my favorite star wars film over all 9 (blasphemy i know) but its more so…

I LOVE The Last Jedi.

As a Briton and an Englishman, I have no problem at all with his description, nor with his conflation of “England” and “Britain”, since let’s face it, the era of Empire wasn’t really spearheaded by the Welsh, Scottish or Irish.

because english isn’t a race

lmao racist against whom? the english? good god

Not taking lunch is a HUGE deal on productions that can run into some cost. There’s a reason the meal penalties for not giving the production a lunch break are usually really stiff.

Me think me speak for many, many readers when me say writers who keep this site going in future not really issue, as this is last time me will click on site that me loved for so many years. G/O has destroyed beloved cultural institution — gutting this site akin to bulldozing Sesame Street, and me for one not would be…

Had to work the earnest farewells in somewhere!

***A COMMUNIQUE FOR THE POSTERS KNOWN AS THE COMMENTARIAT***

At the risk of self-indulgence, I’m gonna pop down here for whoever is poking around in the comments section to say that this is my last A.V. Club review. (I believe that’s the case for everyone writing an A.V. Club movie review this week.) This is really more of a farewell-toned piece, ICYMI:
