The big problem with Mon El now is he is a straight up Marty Stu. Everything fits the trope. They want us to “LIKE” him so much, it is actually doing the opposite. All the trope signs are there. He can now diagnose and heal a cute kid! He of course does not tell Kara so she can just find out for herself how awesome he…

By CROM that was an awful hour of television. So much of it made so little sense. Argo’s food area looked like a Vancouver downtown restaurant, Mon-El makes no sense being around anymore, the entire LEGION storyline has been jettisoned, Kara returns to Argo City but barely sees her mom, Clark Kent is NOWHERE to be…

Still laugh that they had to give him 7+ years of off screen development (and a fucking wife!) to rehab his character. That’s like... next level ‘we gotta fix our horrendous writing mistake’ stuff.

I don’t have any problem with Mon-El, but I do think we’re at a point where Melissa Benoist’s relationship with Chris Wood - or rather, the show’s insistence that the character must stick around - is affecting the show adversely.

There was a lot to like here, but the standout moment for me was the face Chyler Leigh makes when Winn presents Alex with her new weapons. Just a precious, child-like smile. Very funny.

Not sure I get the backlash either:

She walked into the DEO for her interview, saw Kara, James and Alex and went...

Sorry but Obama and Clinton are more similar than people think, and they changed their minds - at least publicly - once they saw the popular tide had turned. Which, though cynical, is smart for politicians. The difference is Obama is a man, and naturally charismatic/likeable whereas Clinton isn’t, so she gets a lot of…

The sentiment I get in my own country and on the Internet these days (on other platforms than this one) is that Hillary was such a bad candidate that it’s her fault you guys got Trump. But I still feel she would’ve been so good at being president. She’s so reasonable, even when you don’t agree with her it’s clear…

Except that never actually happened.

I dare to suggest you have slightly inarticulate friends.

jessica jones is still the best thing the mcu has ever done. and no, the first season is not “too long”.

Ahh yes, those nicknames, “Shrillary”, “Shillary”, “Killary” “Cankles”, those were just sooooo edgy. You expect all that stuff from Trump, who’s a giant adolescent, but when it was coming from the left, it was just really, really sad.

Yeah, it frustrates me a bit how strongly the narrative is rewritten even by “liberal” media outlets. There were MANY times that the Slots media coverage of Hillary was pretty shitty. And I fought a LOT of “but her emails! Corrupt neoliberal! MUH PURITY!!” battles here in the comments because god forbid we just…

And as much as Gawker (and yes, even the Slot) would like to pretend, the call was definitely coming from inside the house. Aka, Hamilton “Don’t fuck this up you NEOLIBERAL SHILL!!” Nolan....

You’re misunderstanding the situation. It’s easier to demonize women. Hillary Clinton is a great woman. Your opinion of Elizabeth Warren would be just as negative if she got the same kind of press.

It was sickening how obvious the media as a whole were pandering to Trump just because every thing he said would bring in ratings. They practically kissed the ring just to bring in viewers, and then reacted in complete shock when he turned on them.

Maybe you’re tired of it, but it’s worth discussing just who is shaping these narratives. Academia, journalism, politics, etc don’t just happen to be dominated by white men because they’re the most talented and smart. A lot of people couldn’t be bothered to examine their news sources, so I don’t mind if there’s more…

The candidate held liable for 20+ year old indiscretions by her husband.
