I saw Solo this weekend. First things first: last year I rolled my eyes at the folks who complained that this movie had no reason for existing, and boy was I wrong. The whole thing was kind of a nothingburger for me.

I’ve said this before, but as someone who doesn’t watch this show, I find the reaction to it online absolutely amazing. As you noted, it’s been a ratings hit for AMC, but every single comment section I see about it is people talking about how awful it is, how they’re about to give up watching, or how they’ve given up…

Which part is exhausting, the show or the fanbase? Also, if you’re not a fan, why do you read/comment on an article about it?

Aw! People like something you don’t like. That must make your tiny immature heart all cold.

Except that the difference is that Justice league will be about heroes teaming up to fight a common for heroically, instead of contriving ways to have “heroes” fight each other when you know that all those fights will end in a draw, like all avengers movies ( and more recently all Marvel movies ).

I think the extended cut is a perfectly good film but people just love to pile on about how bad it is

So very true. Regardless of what it is, some people seem dead set on trying to browbeat others into accepting their opinion as the only possible option.

I certainly did not like BvS, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with you (and others) liking it. I think people are a little too caught up in trying to convince people they are wrong — there is no right or wrong here... either you liked it or you didn’t.

He already did, from a certain point of view.

There were (off the top of my head) variable length lightsabres, shoto-sabres, vibroblades ranging from swords, daggers, axes pikes, & halberds (that all had some resistance to lightsabres but not for long), traditional swords embued with Dark Side sorcery that could match blades with a lightsabre and then you get…

Because most of those aren’t being held forth as golden child of cinematic gender equality? Wonder Woman got an enormous amount of praise for leaping decently high over the bar, but the bar was set really low, given the track record of earlier DC movies. Mentioned in this article, Atomic Blonde is probably a much…

I think he was trying to call out (however inartfully) the “male gaze” problem that often permeates the Hollywood establishment — though I would venture to say that his movies have this problem too to varying degrees.

Maybe it was a little needlessly rude to Jenkins and the rest of the film’s creators, but I don’t think he was wrong, and I think he does have a point.

For as long as science fiction has existed, it’s been used to discuss real-world problems in a fictional, commercial manner - deep themes neatly packaged for people looking for entertainment. Anti-semitism, racism, sexism, xenophobia, they all exist in the real world, yet there’s a sizable portion of the population…

By the same logic, shouldn’t you wait to see the show before commenting on it?

If by wearing his outfit you mean wearing a standard issue resistance outfit, then sure.

My bet is on the remains of a collision between two large planets on the outskirts of their system on an orbit that puts it directly between us and its star. You end up with a large debris field that periodically comes around but since it’s not one solid mass its overall distribution changes during the orbit resulting…

Of course, there are examples of male characters who fall into the trope of naive newcomer... but oftentimes it’s played for laughs, and the woman ends up serving as a sort of motherly surrogate.
