As a Trekkie I love it. Nerds just don't like change. Their franchises, underwear, bedrooms since childhood.

So, you wouldn’t care if they started to shove white people into the Black Panther movie since you are implying people shouldn’t give a toss about the source material?

Why is it racist to complain about changing a character from white to black? Somehow I doubt you’d be cheering for a white, Chinese or Hispanic Misty Knight.

Actually baby-cut carrots are carved from larger carrots. Baby carrots are indeed immature carrots sold at a smaller size.

Green voters are, without exception, effete narcissists who will ultimately die of overweening pride.

Now I wish they’d do the same with Mr. Elba

Because Rob is accusing me of being a white walker.

I’ve honestly never cared for forcing a lesbian relationship between the two. One is that we have too few movies simply about friendship, which can be as strong a bond between some people as a sexual relationship. Two is I believe turning them into a couple has less to do with promoting LGBT values than it does

...or you know, a man.

If by “different approach” you mean “making bad movies,” then sure.

since Batman v. Superman hit theaters to sour reviews and a less-than-expected box office take

Facism? Are we talking about the same novel by Heinlein?

Wait...Chappie’s the most horrible movie you’ve seen?! Obviously you haven’t sat through Batman v Superman yet.

And here comes the flood of “it’s free advertising!” and “why does CBS hate the fans?!” and “PARAMOUNT IS GREEDY!” posts.

The group think on io9 started getting really bad right around that time and hasn’t let up since. Just now, smi1ey, you are not alone. I had the EXACT same reaction as you. Most people did. You would just never know it if you read io9 comment threads...

Now playing

Every country does it. The guilt that we as Americans are expected to have for doing it too is ridiculous.

AoS is quite good, and has only gotten better after they were no longer confined by Winter Soldier’s big reveal.

“No sane person expected it to do anywhere close to the amount of money it has. It’s a $60 million movie that managed to gross Guardians of the Galaxy level money.”

I’m admittedly quite behind on Arrow—not seen much of this current season at all—but I thought she’d improved greatly. She was atrociously written in the first season, but has grown a lot as a character. Maybe she got bad again this season and I just haven’t seen it!

Stop. Linking. Videos.
