I vehemently disagree, because Lynch's Baron Harkonnen is nothing of the book Harkonnen, and Villeneuve's isn't a cartoon villain.

Eh it’s more of a Metropolis look.

I have a feeling this is all going to down to industrial waste being dumped in the caves and polluting the water and violating tribal lands.

Pretty simple actually: stage car crash near frozen water, imply that Hank started to walk for help and fell through the ice. Body likely never gets found, so no need to explain bullet hole. Also, if the body eventually does get found, Danvers would be in charge of the investigation anyway.

They didn’t say “he died in a car accident,” they said “he had an accident.” The plan is to make it look like Hank shot Otis and was going to dump the body, but he fell in through the ice instead (like Navarro almost did earlier in the episode, which is how she got the idea).

And finding a body that fell into the sea…

I think Advent Children is what cemented ‘angsty’ Cloud to the fandom. Granted, he actually had a reason to be that way at that point in time thanks to events that occurred between the last half of the original game and everything leading up to the movie.

I love how the State of Play presentation shows a tone the original actually had.  It wasn't angsty or brooding, a characterization that was never accurate but somehow became Cloud's reputation.  Yes it has serious moments, but I really like how much they are looking to capture the actual charm of the original.  This…

I kind of don’t think so. It would simply have to be a different arc. Sokka’s views about women weren’t arbitrary. It’s actually tied to his role in the Southern Water Tribe, as well as Water Tribe culture in general, when it’s a key plot point later in the series. Plus, it’s almost the entire basis of his growth with…

two decades ago sexist characters were just delivery systems for sexist jokes

I think Sokka’s sexism is important because it’s not just him; when the Gaang gets to the Northern Water Tribe, Katara is told she can only train as a healer because that’s the role for women who are water benders there. Sokka has just picked up the customs of the earlier generations, and like a lot of the stuff…

They were cringeworthy in the animated show. They were meant to be cringeworthy. You can tell almost immediately that Katara is level-headed and responsible and that Sokka’s comments about gender aren’t based on any rational thinking. It’s not exactly subtle, but this is a kid’s program, and when those teach lessons…

I mean I guess?... but if the issue is the character arc is about getting over his flaw/wrong attitude, he kind of has to have one in the first place. So your only option is giving him a different flaw/bad worldview and at that point I mean what’s the point? So we can see him get over (feel free to insert your own bad…

Look at Disney’s last live-action reboot, The Little Mermaid, which rewrote Ursula’s iconic villain song “Poor Unfortunate Souls” to remove sexist lyrics (“The men up there don’t like a lot of blabber/They think a girl who gossips is a bore,” among others). Ursula’s problematic verse was a deliberate narrative…

Seems like his being a cop is more of a recent thing and that she’s more annoyed about him being at Danvers’ incessant beck and call. But yeah, I was kinda like, “We get it!” Danvers sending a demanding all caps text at 3:30 am was a funny detail to me, though.

Weird how the reviewer totally omitted the pretty important fact that the “Murder-Suicide” was actually a Murder, and that the bad guy was alive and happily humming when the Dynamic Duo arrived. One of them obviously killed him and made it look like a suicide.

Danvers was being an unreliable narrator with Pete about the abusive husband case she and Navarro worked on. As we saw in the flashback, he killed his wife, but he was alive when they got there. I’m guessing Danvers or Navarro shot him in cold blood (pun intended). This is part of their complicated dynamic, a bond…

I must not cum. Cum is the penis-killer. Cum is the little-death that brings total ejaculation. I will face my cum. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the cum has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Your comment is literally the first time anyone’s mentioned a vagina on this page.  Have something you need to get off your chest?

Usul, we have men sticking their dicks into the popcorn sandworm the likes of which even God has never seen.

I’m excited for it. Mostly because it and Korra, are two of my favourite TV shows of all time. I’ll be happy if they managed to trim out some of the bloat of the first season but keep it faithful to the feel of the world.
