Coming from an Catholic family i find Varric and Iron Bull’s rejection of these cultural heritage roots very relatable. These are extremely uncompromising places to come from and they’re rejecting Varric and Iron Bull as much as they are rejecting their roo.

Agreed. Initially The Iron Bull thought himself be Qunari pretending to be Tal-Vashoth, but after being excommunicated realized he was really Tal-Vashoth pretending to be Qunari.

The real problem is that the world-building suffers from the usual “Humans are a collection of nations and non-humans are a single diaspora.” The elves are either slaves or hate being elves, the Qunari are either Qun or apostates, the dwarves are either dwarves or Varric. Humans can be Tevinter, Orlesians, Nevarrans,…

Just 100% agreed. No notes.

Surely Par Vollen would respect the military acumen of one of their most talented officers. If the Iron Bull thinks that his mercenary group was worth more than a ship, surely there is some room for negotiation.

Regarding Iron Bull, I think the problem isn’t Iron Bull or “Demands of the Qun” so much as it is a more general issue with how the Qunari have been portrayed.

Phrasing is important!

When you make a personal list, you say as much. This is my personal favorite. This is the panel’s most esteemed, top games or whatever.

You do not say, “this is the list of the best video games of all time, as ranked by an expert jury”.

That phrasing invites this type of criticism because it is…

Not enough people have read the original book. A cowboy fights Dracula!

The last time the A.V. Club posted about this film, I noticed a shocking amount of people don’t realize that Renfield pre-dates Guillermo. Just out here to remind people that this character has been around for awhile. In fact, Guillermo is a play on Renfield. Not the other way around.

I know this because I haven’t been…

What the hell are you going on about?

are you ok?

“I’ve noticed people younger than me (I’m a millenial) think the Avengers are “gay” based on what I’ve overheard.”

And you presume that means “bad.”  Interesting.

he seemed to get very hung up on the fact that i was saying, of my friend group, my other buddy and i watch and like mcu stuff most.

This post is anti-convincing. People who generally agree with you will, after reading it, worry that means they are wrong.

Being an MCU fan is extremely mainstream and the claim “nerdiest MCU friend in group” means next to nothing.

Don’t be lazy - posting some pics of the different kinds of anchors would make this article way better.  You probably could figure out how to make a slideshow out of it!
