Was just going to keep loading more comments until I came to this one.

As we have seen... Intent is often discarded for expedience. And the Letter is often twisted to preserve the rights of the powerful and not of the individual. I assume “isn’t” in your sentence is supposed to be “is” where you said “The exact purpose of the copyright laws isn’t to stop other people from profiting…

Welcome to the era of perpetual copyright, where none of the works produced in your lifetime will ever enter public domain.

“For male showrunners, sexual assault is always the go-to when looking for ‘traumatic backstory’ for a female character.”

125 million people voted this year in the USA for president. If the Republicans didn’t suppress voters, the USA didn’t lock up black people for smoking a joint and not allowing 28% of the voting age from voting because of it, and the Democratic Party setting up the primary and still not understanding why they lost,…

Oh come on, don’t try to pass off a 2042 pic for a 2024 one...

God must be really mad at science now. Since AIDS was his punishment for homosexuals, that’s gotta be frustrating being undercut like this.

I’m still tickled that going on 60 years later, an offshoot genre from one of the most racist periods in American history is still the go-to standard for white people of every age as the gold standard for everything Black culture. As if Shaft was the pinnacle of African American achievement. It is our one sacred cow,…

Agree. You want a shared universe, DC? Allow cameos, and don’t stress out about them.

Exactly. People raise their pitchforks at MoS and Jonathan Kent’s speech about maybe not saving the kids. That line works because the world they are bringing these characters into is not a good world, it is full of power hunger people wanting to use and exploit others. So J Kents line fits in with a father wanting to…

They absolutely didn’t have the time. Would you rather watch an Avengers movie, featuring a dozen or so awesome heroes that you’ve spent years getting to know, or an Aquaman movie, featuring a dozen or so CGI fish? Because once you get outside of Superman and Batman, you’re gonna start reaching. Are audiences…

We have absolutely no idea where this is from;

I seriously do not get the massive fandom for Barb. She wasn’t bad, the actress was fine, but the character was very minor, not memorable, and easily forgettable. Why in the name of Holy Mother of God and All Her Wacky Nephews is there a massive fandom for her?

When in doubt put out the movie that the filmmaker made- let the film rise and fall on it’s own merits.

The current state of io9 and its commentors.

No kidding! Is there any other site for FUN tech/sci-fi/geek stuff news anymore? I came here following Bricken from Topless Robot but there’s just no joy anymore.

Real Talk: I find that io9 has become a much more bitter site over the past year. Maybe its the lack of open channel, maybe its the lack of recaps, maybe its the shift in who works there, maybe its the Gizmodo partnership, but this site has become a lot more bitter.

In fairness, this is the new breed of writer for Gawker. The good ones are gone and the new ones don’t how how to do their job. “Hmm, I didn’t like this movie or that’s what the popular opinion is, but how do I shoehorn my opinion on a tech site? AHA! Talk about the phone in the film that’s on screen 10 total seconds…

You(and the movie) are making the assumption that smart people have smart children and dumb people have dumb children. While I'm sure the intelligence of the parents does have an effect on a child's overall development it still is entirely possible for two idiots to produce a genus and vice versa, eugenics would not…
