There was a whole thread of that on the post for the first Rogue One trailer. And it was hilarious. I should go back and look for it.

Bothans are the absolute god damn worst. Not only is it annoying when you’re playing Empire and those pricks vaporize you out of nowhere, but when you’re playing Rebels they walk in front of your gun while invisible, and you get a TK for shooting them.

... Okay, so maybe my only experience with Bothans is from…

I seem to remember when the first Rogue One trailer was posted here, there was a very long (and absolutely hilarious) thread about how many Bothans would NOT be dying in this film, leading them to suicidal overconfidence the next time they had to steal Death Star plans.

I just want to make a note of it here: I want Wonder Woman to be a good film. I’ve been accused of wanting DC movies to be terrible. And I admit, I feel some validation when DC makes film decisions I think are terrible, and then the movie going public appears to agree with me. But a good Superman film? That’d be…

“We can agree to the Founders failures, but apparently we can’t agree on their motives. Yes, the Founders compromised their morals to bring the Southern colonies into the Union and did so by allowing slavery to exist.”

You can’t ascribe a single motive to the Founders as a group, because many of them had different…

“This country, originally founded on principals where it didn’t matter where you came from but you could pursue your fortune and happiness. We weren’t bound my class or caste so people could transcend their lot through hard work and determination.”

Unless you were black or a woman. And for a while, they decided you…

I think this just proves that Batman is only good with women who have some connection to cats. Give him a dog lover and he’s got nothin’.

I really doubt this article was written by anyone who hates Batman. (Hates BvS maybe, Batman no.) It’s not a serious take on Batman as a lover, it’s... well it’s a joke. And Batman is basically the best target for jokes because he’s A. Super serious. No one has needed the piss taken out of them more than Bruce Wayne.…

There isn’t any good context for the speech, it’s being given as general advice to another person. He’s giving it as a philosophy to live by to other people, who aren’t him. And in that sense, it’s missing a very critically important piece.

For Captain America, sure, that idea works great, because we know he’s not a…

No, it’s not culturally illiterate, or a rejection of American culture. American Exceptionalism is historically illiterate and a rejection of American culture. The idea that we’re better than everyone else fundamentally ignores basic history, and present day issues. We’ve done bad things, like everyone else. We do bad…

Superman punched a guy INTO an iHop full of people. Not away from it. Into it. Also he was only near the iHop because he tackled that guy across a large amount of space carrying him from relatively clear farmland... into the more populated part of the town. He later threw Zod into a train station with people in it,…

For the Hulkbuster one, it was just one building that was under construction that had no people in it. So Tony Stark could buy it and smash it with impunity. And yes, that was a little implausible. The rest of the fight was DEFINITELY in an inhabited area. There’s civilians all around it. The main difference is, we…

No. He’s saying it’s a shitty speech because it works equally well no matter who says it... and everyone’s interpretation of ethics are NOT equally valid. You could use that speech to defend abolitionism... or slavery equally well. Because slavery is awful, and the speech would work peachy keen for people who believe…

He kinda is though. If the whole country says something wrong is right... you need to consider that they MIGHT have a point. You don’t have to decide they do! But you need to stop and think about it. It’s a very, very important middle step that really needs to be in that speech. Because... well a lot of the time, the…

You can have principle and conviction and ALSO consider the fact that you may be wrong. You don’t HAVE to be wrong. I have many principles. I feel quite good about them. No loathing or irony at all. I do consider I may be wrong about them, and occasionally stop and consider the arguments against my principles. Most of…

No, people who felt that way are why we had all those things in the first place, and why they were so hard to get rid of. You don’t tell the world “No, you move.” You consider the world’s arguments and act according to their merit, because sometimes you ARE wrong. This speech applies to people who fought slavery, but…

Well he needed to keep up the illusion that Wells was still in the basement, sitting in the speed-trap. Which was also a hologram projector. ... I’m sure there was no other, simpler way to do this.

Come to think of it, the speed mirage thing would work on most people... except Barry, who can perceive time more slowly.

I…

Either you make your protagonist dumb, or you give the antagonist abilities that make no sense whatsoever (e.g. time remnants) in order to be able to pull surprises on the heroes. ... Of course, this season we went with “both.”

... Actually, we kinda went with ‘both’ last season. It’s a more minor point, but how the…

Their marketing data is probably skewed by people like me, who wanted to see more Flash between seasons 1 and 2, saw this “Flashpoint” thing, didn’t know very much about comics, and watched it. I may or may not be representative of the data there, but I know I’m at least one of those datapoints in favor of doing…

I’m from the Midwest and I was surprised to see ‘Christ on a bike’ on the list. I use it all the time. Except, being American, it’s often “Christ on a fucking bike’ because we absofuckinglutely love gratuitous swearing.
