You are looking at the release dates, instead of the pre-production dates. Zwick’s timeline is more accurate than yours.

You claim that there is an underlying assumption that teenagers look better but present no evidence. To me, this seems like your own bias and insecurity revealing itself. The filter just makes people look like teenagers. Not better, or worse. Just teens. There is no value judgment there, other than the one you are…

Definitely an oversight.

Kingdom2000 doesn’t even need to listen to the full video to find out. A quick Google search will share plenty of articles providing more thorough reporting and quoting on the incident. It’s almost like this person just read the AV article and was suddenly at a complete loss on how to discover any more information on…

It seems like the problem was that the translator had personal standards and didn’t feel like taking on the task any longer. So he asked to quit the assignment and the editors have already found another translator. Not every individual is a good fit for every task. If the original translator did not look forward to…

“Less crazy Gary Busey” is officially Nick Nolte’s designation.

Right. And if the number of Right Wing Republicans exceeds 99.5%, then it rounds up to 100%.

Riley Reid. It’s in the source article. 

I would dispute it. I think Woody Strode was a better wrestler turned actor. That’s just my opinion. Batista is also great, but I think people tend to forget Strode in these discussions.

I always thought Vision had more in common with Red Tornado. And Superman seemed like a direct inspiration for Sentry and Hyperion as opposed to Cap.

Sometimes, people are able to compare and contrast experiences. I played for benevolent, supportive coaches and for demanding, tyrannical coaches. We always did better for the benevolent, supportive coaches. Sometimes it’s impossible to compare What Ifs. But sometimes, direct comparisons work. In my opinion, if you…

“But I’ve worked with assholery. It does have a unique quality to generate creative outcomes. Sure, it broke me psychologically for a decade, but man were those video games we made good.”

Agree with all of this. Having said that, the only real point I was trying to make was that it wasn’t surprising to me that Andrew faces multiple charges of sexual assault. He seemed very comfortable with transgressive behavior, and did not seem to have a lot of respect for other people’s boundaries. Any additional…

Well, my first thought would be to not publicly broadcast their rantings and incoherence and let them rant to themselves in a dark corner. I think that would result in a quieter outcome for everyone.

Yes, sure. Clearly the statement was value-laden. It just wasn’t originally intended to be that way. The things we would like to communicate are not always the things that we successfully transmit. 

Okay, I see. This did not strike me a hostile statement nor value-laden. I just assumed it was commonly accepted that we should try to help people in need. 

I am sorry if I am coming across as hostile. “Wants to scream nonsense” was a direct quote from his post.

“I’m sorry, but what? In what world does the subject need to benefit from an interview in order for it to be valid? In what world is it wrong for a journalist to try and progress their career by conducting interviews?”

From The AV Club review of the show:

It’s not wrong. It’s mean-spirited and self-serving. It was done in consideration of his own career ambitions, and not to the benefit of the interview subjects.
