Half of my time writing this comment was spent trying to determine where the Lion King music was auto-playing from.

I feel that you already know whether or not you’re already going to see this, Smith pushed himself from indie darling to some sort of “bizzaro Duplass brother”.

Hey, Kinja moderators? There’s a lot of nasty hate speech on this topic. I’ve flagged most of it - does that actually do anything? Can we boot these transphobes back to the dark holes from whence they oozed?

I do not comprehend what you just wrote. I'm not a stickler for grammar or anything I just have no idea what point you were trying to come to here. 

I’d also like to once again gush about how good the Unstoppable Wasp relaunch is, especially issues 4 and 5 which deal with Nadia’s bipolar disorder.

I’ve reversed the order of your statements in your previous post for a reason.

Read what you said again, and consider how that comes across to other people—and, more specifically, how disingenuous it makes your, “I am not finger-wagging” claim appear.

There’s explicitly casting aspersions, and then there’s what you’re…

“Enough with the Paula Pell already” is a nuclear-level hot take which I did not expect to encounter today, so good on you for that at least.

Can I say something being the second oldest dude here? Game of Thrones premiered April 17, 2011. A sane man occupied the White House, the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell signed, Saddam Hussein dead, Occupy Wall Street, The HARRY POTTER movies ended, and Gabriel Giffords survived a senseless attack. The excitement…

It was a joke. Made even funnier by the fact that I live in Texas and it’s not an abstract concept like it is for you. You know, it’s not all cowboys and racists y’all.

“Watchmen is a comic book.”

I’m on team “just let people enjoy things” but I also think Vampire Weekend is pretty cool I must be just the dumbest piece of shit

Infinity War, I can kinda give a pass for. Civil War, though?

How in the world is it possible to critique a film like Green Book without discussing how the film handles race?

Sure, pluralism is fine. One of the pluralities is being like “WTF, that’s weird” about the things I mentioned. I’m not really feeling like viewpoints such as the one expressed in this movie are in danger, given that it’s apparently both popular (according to you) and now an Oscar winner.

but I’m not certain what period piece movies are supposed to do about good, or evolving, white people in times of systemic racism. The best of the white savior movies have the black character transforming the white character in ways that move beyond, “I’m less racist now.” In that sense I think Green Book qualifies.

Yeah, that’s been the vibe of these reviews going back to the start... a kind of basic rejection of the show’s premise itself and then criticizing the show for committing to it. 

How the hell A Bug’s Life, a middling film when it premiered and has only slightly improved since, got in over Mulan, a film that is still as enjoyable and fun as it was back in 1998, is beyond me. Probably the whole “It’s not feminist enough” BS.

See, I would like to listen to this video. But I can’t scroll past it to keep reading, or it stops.

This analogy went off the rails FAST.  Cooking may be an art, but not when it’s done to sell a product to a customer who will then consume it.  If I order a steak, it’s not going up in a museum for people to marvel at it, it’s going in my mouth.  So it should be made the way I want it made.  If a chef wants to create…

Oh, for dog’s sake. If somebody enjoys a well-done steak, just let them enjoy their well done steak. How exactly are they harming you? I swear, steak fanatics are worse than vegans when it comes to food snobbery.

Oh gee. How surprising. Who could have possibly thought that firing a female developer over a Twitter spat would embolden the ravening hordes. How could we have predicted this. I’m shocked. Shocked I tell you.
