That’s just as facile (and just as wrong) as 4chan dickheads claiming “We’re not racist. We just say that stuff for the lulz.”

He’s not a climate change advocate. He’s a guy who wants to murder everyone except the upper-upper-upper-class and he uses climate change as an excuse to do so.

Yeah, I’m tired of that nonsense too. The villain in the first one based his plot around climate change, but his entire plan was to murder everyone in the entire world except the uber-rich. That’s what the Kingsmen are trying to stop. If Valentine’s plan had been to use free phones and internet to somehow prevent…

Why does caring for the enviroment and being a tech corporation defines you as left wing? Sillicon Valley is full of people who worships Ayn Rand, and caring for the enviroment doesn’t have to have an ideology.

Yeah it does get a bit tiresome. One of the first things we learned in ole Qualitative Analysis is that pretty much any work produced by a corporate system (i.e. a major studio) is, no matter how left wing or progressive in its message, fundamentally right wing and conservative in its ultimate intent, which is to make…

Though there’s plenty of equal-opportunity political satire going on, the right-wing flavor people complain about is from the film’s root ideology, where the world is made up of smart, special people and dependant rubes (for instance, the main character vs. everyone in the section-8 style housing he is raised in, or…

Even ignoring the specifics of what happens in the films, the right-wing aspect of the films rests in their very premise: that the world is best kept safe by a privatized security service—obscenely wealthy, determinedly secretive, and accountable to absolutely no one. It’s anti-democratic, anti-transparency, and…

Yeah. Colin Firth’s character was explicitly condemned by Eggsy for saving Margaret Thatcher. The patrician politics that the author of this article decries were actively harming society and were something that Eggsy had to fight against. Does everyone forget what “Arthur” was doing to the recruits in general and…

Counterpoint: It’s not nonsense. It’s an entirely valid criticism of the movie.

The bad guys were, in order of power:

Not really, Vaughn’s a massive Tory. Anyone with the slightest awareness would have no issue identifying him as a right winger. 

I’ve always regarded the first Kingsman as a straight-up parody, not only of James Bond-style spy shenanigans, but of the right-wing political subtext of those movies. Do we get that these are comedies...?

As abhorrent and tone deaf as that ending was it was also a class warfare revenge fantasy where the lower class literally fucks the uppermost class in the ass.

Although the sign out the front does say “new” Fat Trout etc

Agreed. I feel like the Starks are in a good place. They’re back home and bonded into some new form of Stark family unit. Sansa’s running things, Arya’s doing the dirty work, and Bran’s just hanging around, smoking dope, and listening to Floyd. We even got to see Arya and Sansa joke around with each other

They needed to show a montage recap of Baelish scenes while Sansa narrated and cool jazz played in the background. Every now and then, you would see that Lord Royce was lurking in a corner. Him and Arya would make eye contact and slide their finger down their nose to one another.

Well, they got Jaime...who is kind of not that great at fighting anymore because he has one hand. But still, that’s something! Right? ...right?

You are right first time, it was just a regular iron islander. He even mentioned Euron.

Can we confirm that the “bring her the undead and she’ll change” plan was the stupidest idea ever? Other than handing the NK a dragon, what did they accomplish?

There’s a lot of silly shit on this show, but get two actors like Dinklage and Headey in a room and it’s Lannister gold.
