I've made my feelings known around here before, but this is how I feel too. You are not my ally by shouting how outraged you are by the cartoon kung fu guy not being played by an Asian actor. You're my ally when you see me as something other than cartoon kung fu guy.

Wait, David F. Sandberg is being considered for Akira? This guy couldn't make a coherent film out of his own short and someone thinks he handle Akira?

I thought DC has been ten years of rebooting?

True, but think of all the ways Robert Orci could turn Civil War III into a metaphor for 9/11 being an inside job and how he'd turn Marvel's Khan into a teenage white girl.

I've pretty much stopped reading everything except for Kamala and Squirrel Girl. Everything else makes my head hurt.

Hasn't Marvel just been one long event for the last ten years?

I don't know that the irony here even needs to be commented on.

I didn't really think Shaq was being serious when I read the flat Earth statements. Now, reading this discombobulated bullshit, the flat Earth statements make mores sense than anything he just said.

They could at least split the difference and give us prestigious tits.

Didn't Erik Estrada publicly trash this movie a couple of months back?

If Mary Elizabeth Winstead asked me to break the law, I would break the law, so this will be right in my wheel house.

Rumor has it, the gorilla is a holdout.

I guess there could be an argument that it's a successful horror film, since it did actually disturb me and get under my skin, which I wasn't expecting. But, as you said, there needs to be a deft comedic touch for something like this to really work and Greg McClean is not the man for that.

It doesn't feel like a James Gunn film at all and there is zero humor except for Sean Gunn. You're exactly right though. The lack of humor just makes is end up being mean spirited and hard to sit through.

You're right. This is definitely more Greg McClean's film than James Gunn's. It's not a fun watch.

The big problem with the movie is that you walk in expecting it to be jokey, fun mayhem because it's James Gunn and except for Sean Gunn's character, it's played very serious. It ends up being pretty brutal and really mean spirited in parts, which makes some scenes hard to watch.

Why do so many people look like Jenna Fischer?

I'm still reluctant to flat out call it good, but it's a million times better and worth watching now.

Would I like to see more people like myself in lead roles in American TV and Movies? Hell yes. Would I like to see more people like me as a magical martial artist? Fuck no. Help us get a Chinese Spider-Man or a Japanese Jessica Jones or and Indian Superman. Don't just call for us when you need Kung Fu dude and Ancient

Thank you. I'm of Chinese descent. I'm not Asian. I'm not Japanese or Korean or Indian or anything other than Chinese. Also, I'm not offended by Iron Fist being white. I was actually far more offended by this misguided demand that he be changed to "Asian" because, you know, if there's martial arts involved, it has to
