or maybe Zack Snyder will just make a Robin snuff film

Age of Ultron is high art compared to this catastrophe.

I posted this long rant in response to another commenter who insinuated that if Hillary wins the nomination, she’ll lose the general because Sanders supporters will stay home because they won’t “sell out”. I think it bears posting out here in the wild:

Good trigger discipline in this picture. It always bugs me when action movie stars run around with their finger on the trigger. That’s a good way for friendly fire to happen.

“This movie about the first child born on Mars returning to Earth as a teen and struggling to adapt to the environment will now release August 19th”

You might like Steven Brust’s To Reign in Hell. It’s a retelling of the revolt in Heaven through a fantasy lens, and all of the angels (including God) are totally relatable and pretty reasonable. Makes the conflict super engaging and wrenching. There’s, like, one guy who’s a giant dick, that’s it.

Based on nothing? How about how abysmal Man of Steel was? How about the horrible marketing for Batman vs Superman? How about Warner Brother’s lack of faith in the theatrical release prompting the announcement of the “full, rated R cut” home release before the movie is even in theaters? How about the lack of character…

Speaking about potential cameos in future DC movies, Henry Cavill indicated that there’s apparently a chance Superman will make an appearance in Wonder Woman:

“It’s very difficult not to fall into the ridiculous [when adapting Wonder Woman]. The border is extremely thin”

Seriously. A white guy learning kung-fu secrets is even slightly transgressional by stereotype standards. An asian dude with mystic martial arts powers is not.

Not every character Marvel casts has to be a gay black amputee I’m so sorry.

Counterpoint: No it doesn’t.

Is it worse than the “Asian guy must know martial arts” stereotype?

“Otherwise, you’d have to devote time to explaining who they are and why they’re there, and there’s enough characters already.”

That’s a great idea having Laura Vandervoort as Power Girl! You’d have to have the boob-window though... I mean, come on!

IMO, the person acting ridiculous is the mom, who has no reason to force Oliver to keep this a secret. She would have a really good excuse if she knew he was Green Arrow, but she doesn’t. He’s running for mayor of Star City, so he’s clearly no longer the person he once was. He doesn’t have any kind of reputation as a…

well, at least Tolkien Orcs are consistent unlike the hammy, humanised to the point of melodrama, and overbulked to appeal to the base self-image desires of every skinny male teen gamer like the Warcraft movie is doing. That it even vaguely resembles the underdog tribe vs "civilised" elite trope has been done to death…

Sansa is the worst.

Deep Space Nine was so good because it was a rip-off of Babylon 5

Roddenberry involvement or not, Deep Space Nine wasn't 'so good'. That, like Voyager, were completely different concepts that merely had the words "Star Fleet" scattered through the scripts. DSN was a boring version of Babylon 5, in my book.
