I somewhat enjoyed this piece of fluff, but to all you people who hate this article:

I also thought it was great, because it put the audience in the same position as Wanda. We knew it wasn’t really Pietro, but we wanted to believe it was, in defiance of the logic of the situation. This whole “I’m mad because my crazy fan theories didn’t come true” thing is getting about as bad and as insufferable as…

I assume the Darksaber can’t cut through Beskar because it’s a lightsaber, and it’s been established that lightsabers in general can’t cut through Beskar. We see this specifically when Ahsoka battles Din and he’s able to fend off her lightsaber with his gauntlets.

Oh, I’m not saying that there isn’t something special about going to the movie theater or that certain films (and of course plays) aren’t enhanced by a communal experience, I’m just saying it isn’t NECESSARY, and to die on this hill like Nolan is doing during a pandemic is kind of petulant.

It’s not gonna be that widely administered until late fall at the earliest and that’s more than half your movie release year. Even by your optimistic assumption of August that’s your summer release schedule and I’d bet most folks give it a few months after roll-out to feel comfortable again and that puts you in…

Ironically, AMC might have already stumbled onto what they should do: rent out movie theaters. Some AMC locations did it to some extent before the pandemic but you had to call ahead and it was pricey. But now, what better way to celebrate with a group of friends than just reserving a screen online and picking the…

Yeah, well...That’s just, like, your opinion, man.

When Nixon invited Confederates into the Republican party you lost the high ground forever.

No, let’s remove from power and influence anyone who is actively, willfully, consistently harmful to other people.

Honest question - do you think outing someone is really just telling “a truth he did not want anyone to know.” It seems to be more significant than that. I don’t agree with his response, but outing someone who doesn’t want to be publicly outed seems like a pretty awful thing to do.  (as does publishing someone’s…

So now Rivian has to go through the hassle to sue Michigan, Michigan gets to spend taxpayer money defending a losing lawsuit, and Rivian will eventually get to sell cars there. What a fucking dipshit state.

Nevertheless, this does show systematic racism against anyone not dressed in blue.

True, and the swastika predates the Nazis by millennia. Generations of racist oppression has a way of tainting things.

I guess his moral compass was on Autopilot.

World War Z should be held in the same regard as the original Night of the Living dead; it’s the best book/story in the medium. 

So.. a new adaptation of World War Z that does a little more than skim the source material?

Thanks for typing all that out so I didn’t have to. It’s also worth pointing out that the seeds for this were planted in Avengers: Stand-Off! The Cosmic Cube/Kobik thing, the Red Skull manipulating reality, and then of course at the end of Secret Empire, the real Steve comes out and kicks the shit out of Stevil.

“the time the normally liberal Captain America was retconned as a Hydra mole didn’t help”

Awesome.  This is the kind of article that makes me come back to io9.  I have watched my fair share of Star Trek over many years but I haven’t really followed back stage happenings.  Also, as white cis male, I have found (partially through io9 articles over the years) that I have really had some blinders on for a long…
