Exactly the kind of self-righteous moral posturing we need in these trying times! 

They didn’t pick “Othello,” they picked “Romeo and Juliet,” so that’s what I talked about. The so-called implication is you putting words in my mouth. When I refer to a play, I’m making a point about that play, not the author’s entire work. Or do you think I’m implying that “Hamlet” and “Julius Caesar” and “Richard…

I have no idea about Pops’ actual politics, but I think his point - which is something I’ve noticed myself, and agree with - is that there’s a weird vein running through a lot of American woke-discourse that seems to assume that the entire world was always just as much of a melting pot as the 21st century US,…

Maybe, and I know this may sound preposterous, all those authors who weren’t 21st century Americans can’t be judged as if they were 21st century Americans. Trying to discern racial politics in the lack of racial descriptions in a play (which is all dialogue anyway) set in Medieval Italy and meant to be performed in…

But for me the best film of the decade still goes to that other 30 year later sequel…

Paul W.S. Anderson, everyone.

But seriously, some thoughts:

What next? Puffins?

Yes, I’m sure Disney cancelling plans, circling the wagons, and punting out to 2022 is because everything was so overwhelmingly over-performing that they just needed a breather from it all. That must be precisely what is happening here.

Please watch more than one episode of the show.

God, Americans can be narrow-minded. You realise most European social democracies are supported by these kinds of dark folk rituals, right? You don’t get free healthcare without sacrificing a few of the sicklier citizens to the forest gods.

a thousand sub-Saharan dictators would like to remind you that tyranny is ubiquitous.

This is a universe with magic so you can kind just say a wizard fixed it cause who gives a shit?

Marvel fans have been so up in arms about “MARTHA!!!” and plot convenience for DC movies, that it’s almost funny that this movie is so full of them.

Your points, in order:
