Is the continuity “fucked up” if your attitude is basically “we don’t actually care about continuity?”

I wish more teams had the forward vision to do this. The Ravens plan to trot out their starters this weekend is utterly moronic.

And frankly I think they’re better of for it. Some of their best films—DoFP and Deadpool springing to mind—were enabled by their complete disregard for continuity (and we see the same phenomenon in source material, where the best stories are often alternate-reality one shots that can dispense with established canon).

Yea, I frankly appreciated DoFP’s hand-waving to deal with continuity. Trying to resolve it cleanly usually just makes more of a mess.

Nobody tried to suck up to Drew by pimping his book?

After all the sturm und drang, I went into Rogue One expecting something much, much worse than what I saw on the screen whenever Tarkin appeared.

Since when does a panda care about sex?

You expect me to take my recreational cues from an animal too bored by sex to procreate at a replacement level?

I think it matters from a player evaluation perspective, not necessarily a “distraction to the team” perspective. If a guy is losing his marbles regularly, that’s symptomatic of a problem with his mental approach and, by extension, how we might expect him to be able to perform in certain situations.

Well, many other athletes are just as competitive but manage to keep their composure when they lose, so it’s hardly unrealistic to expect Newton or Beckham to do the same.

Blows how mind how anyone who has been retired 15 years in professional sports couldn’t hang with “The modern athletes” according to some.

Short shifts means you have to worry less about stamina

It can be a little bit of Column A and a little bit of Column B, though. If Gretzky’s career had started 10 years later, would he still be the best ever and own all the scoring records? Sure. Would he have ever hung 200+ on the rest of the League? Probably not. Most of those HOF goalies you mention weren’t playing

Fuck Jagr.

Draisatl is also barely treading water in possession, and the Oil have given up more goals at even strength with him on the ice than they’ve scored. McDavid is pretty much single-handedly dragging that team to the playoffs, courtesy a garbage division.

Is it that three first overall draft picks aren’t quite enough to get good, but four are, or is it that the fourth was Connor McDavid? I have my suspicions.

Because clearly, the best way to drain the swamp is to make its inhabitants even more dependent on federal largesse for their livelihoods.

Bingo bango.

Gender politics aside, didn’t this movie tank financially and criticallly? Why are they still trying to push it?
