You know, that’s all valid. I mean, what is “ugly” really? When I was in elementary school, my “good” friends would be like, “You are ugly, like, really ugly” because (I think) I had freckles, an overbite and a big Roman nose, but now people describe me as “striking.”

What about my childhood? I never read this book, and as a formerly unaware child, I gotta say that this movie should not be made.

But my childhood!

I guess I thought Pike’s contradictions gave the character potential.

Oh my god, why did I do that? I am dead. Thanks.

I would absolutely vote for a miniseries. I want at least 2 hours on Kalamazoo, which is tied with Charn for “totally creepy otherworld that would probably kill me dead but damnit I wanna go anyway.”

This is good news to me because I wouldn’t have thought of either of them in these roles but think they’ll be great, which I find exciting. I loved these books growing up and am excited that DuVernay’s helming this. (Looking back, I totally heard Mrs. Which as more Kate Mulgrew, but Oprah will totally own this part.)

I don’t think I’ve ever heard a bad word uttered about Urban’s performance, and you won’t from me either. I wish he had twice the screen time.

I don’t think Spock and McCoy hate each other. There are any number of instances where they confide at least a begrudging respect for each other. They got on each other’s nerves, yes; but just as often, I think they just liked to spar.

The fandom, because it created this:

That's amazing, but I think in order to really count as a crossover there need to be common actors, interacting with one another.

If we can get more Colin Firth being a bad-ass and Mark Hamill doing his worst flustered professor acting then I am OK with this.

Fun fact: Hopkins isn’t even in the movie, he just showed up one day hammered out of his mind and hid in the set background during part of the shoot because Hemsworth bet him $5 to do it. There is no way this is not true, seeing as based on The Wolfman, Hopkins will do anything for money.

First Thor is wandering around looking like a dirty surfer and now we have Odin the AllFather, Enemy of the Wolf, Wand-Bearer, Spearmaster, Smith of Battle, Mover of Constellations wandering around like a homeless person.* WHAT EVEN IS THIS MOVIE??

Right up there with this one...

Supervillians enacting convoluted schemes are part and parcel of the genre. As long as the motivations are clear and make sense for the supervillainous character (like Zemo’s was and Luthor’s wasn’t), people just need to go with it. It’s like complaining about capes. Of course it doesn’t make sense to wear a cape.…

“the conflict was forced” is literally the plot of the movie

And yet I bet you like Dark Knight despite the fact that the Joker’s plan is just as convoluted. I’m not saying that it’s not a problem, bu that it’s not that big of an issue within the context of the rest of the movie.
