I read that as “homoerotic” and thought, “he ain’t wrong.”

Get a grip, Dita. It wasn’t at all clear from your comment whether you knew that Hanks’ character was written to speak in common prose. There’s no reason to snap at someone who did nothing more than politely point out a fact that you didn’t seem to know.

In Henry IV, only the nobles speak in iambic pentameter. Falstaff (Hanks’ character) speaks in prose. 

There’s no point in arguing with him. Facts and logic are never going to penetrate his skull. He’s one of those delusional dipshits that thinks that the economy was hell for 8 years under Obama and suddenly became awesome on January 20, 2017. Never mind the fact that the economy was improving steadily throughout

You should be embarrassed that your stupid fucking comment about being too dumb to read is the first comment on an article about a mass shooting. 

Not a bad cross section of modern K-Pop. I would have added at least one Blackpink song to the mix. After BTS, I’d wager that they’re the most internationally popular act in the genre right now. I’ve personally used “Playing with Fire” to convert a few unbelievers into K-Pop stans.

Like gurp... gurp... gurp...

You can’t compare The Good Place to Westworld. The Good Place burns through more plot in any 22-minute episode than Westworld manages in an entire season. That’s not a complaint. The storytelling on The Good Place is downright propulsive, while we’re on week 7 of the “Dolores wants like... a weapon or something...”

I’m still thinking that all of this was deliberately set in motion by Arnold.

Unfortunately, Damon Lindelof is not Noah Hawley.

So shouldn’t getting Fitz from that cryopod not cause like a Bender’s Big Score paradox?

Same here, and even that didn’t surprise me.

“Casually progressive”? I’m not going to go back and dig this out, but hasn’t B99 engaged in plenty of casual civil liberties violations over the years?

If they gauntlet Fitz, I riot. The police will be very confused.

For fuck’s sake, if the deaths that obviously happened are retconned, then what were the stakes for this movie??

And this is deserving of discussion. It’s, again, not about how going into slavery was a preference, but about how staying in slavery, playing along with it without full-scale fighting back, was a choice that they didn’t have to make.

How hard is it to understand? If you’re gonna do political material, make it funny. Pandering isn’t the same as a well constructed joke. Thats the difference.

Also, someone pointed out that to reverse the Snap they’ll probably have to get the gauntlet, and the soul stone doesn’t just let anyone use. You have to sacrifice someone you love to wield it.

Superhero movies aren’t about whether our heroes survive. There’s never even a question about whether they’ll win. We watch to see how they win. Thanos has all the stones and our heroes’ ranks are diminished by half. That’s the drama. How do they win when they’ve already lost?

Aisha Tyler actually speaks fluent French... which of course just raises further questions if she’s speaking French strangely.
