So now we’re calling “<this thing> wasn’t in <this movie>” a spoiler now? Really? It spoils Rogue One to know there aren’t any Jedi in it? Even though that’s literally in all the marketing? It ruins the movie for people, knowing that going in?

Well, like every DC movie, Batman has to have at least a cameo. And how will Wonder Woman’s audience know who Batman is if they don’t see his parents get killed in a flashback? THINK, MAN.

Suicide Squad, though savaged by critics and moviegoers alike, made way more money than it had any right to. It was released at just the right time - it had almost no competition for months. It was actually pretty financially successful, making 4.2 times its production budget back, and that’s without China. The rule

BvS actually came very close to losing money. It was profitable, but barely, and even that is debatable and only WB knows for sure.

Of course you can. What the fuck is that nonsense?

Neither you nor she knows what the fuck bullying is if you think that Zuckerberg or this author is doing it.

Fact checking is hard. You can’t expect all these news outlets to do that. Get real.

The only benefit I can see is that now I can ramp up a buddy and egg hatching while using my treadmill because it counts steps instead of GPS distance. That’s fantastic.

...not nearly invisible to radar. It has some radar-reducing measures, sure, but it’s not the same thing. To make it do so, you would have to change the shape of the plane entirely.
