You say “an entire generation is over-emotional, this guy says so”, people say that’s hogwash, you go apoplectic repeating the same thing over and over, seemingly refusing to listen.

I am pointing out the cultural origins of these types of arguments in academia, and comparing him to folks who similarly attempt to dress up culture war arguments as supportable by research. He is painting an entire generation of diverse people as “fragile”, and it satisfies cultural presumptions instead of academic…

I’m sorry you’re tired, but again, I’m saying that his credentials are being used in an age-old attempt to dismiss and pathologize people who have problems with bullshit; to inoculate those who think they inherently deserve respect from having to earn it. The logic/emotion binary comes out of hoary paternalistic…

I’m sorry, but no credentials can make me read past either an interpretation of a text or a direct description of a text positing logic and emotions as a binary, and worse, logic as the “clearly” preferable of the two for those whothink “correctly”. That fucking shit was debunked as toxic machismo in the 60s, and…

I hope they give him that Moe Howard haircut.

These are fictional people, so I’m mostly amused, and her origin IS basically this, but describing Hawkgirl purely as “the star-crossed lover of Hawkman” is peak “famous woman’s accomplishments reduced to her relationship to man”, hehehe. Especially post animated Justice League.

I mean, sure, he was in Black Adam, but…

She’s similar to Julia Roberts, in that she’s in a lot of pedestrian “be pretty and motivational for the male lead” stuff (even in things where she’s ostensibly the actual lead, which goes to show how bad writing is for women), or in minor prestige roles which are arty versions of the former, and she’s fine. But then…

I think the premise is perfectly arguable and just as perfectly rebuttable. Great for discussion. I think it’s fair to use Nimona to critique Disney’s approach, even if saying that it is a “failure” for Disney that it needs to learn from is a bit far, at as far as Disney is concerned. Disney is so big and powerful…

Opening Al Capone’s “vault”, if you know what I mean.

Or worse, alone with their co-workers. The smartphone was invented for “I am sitting next to you but do not wish to converse”.

The drop rate was increased and added to an event they weren’t added to before. They just missed a zero or two, so the small amount of people running the game in the 4 hours of the night of July 6th getting it was obnoxious, indicated an exploit, and they fixed it.

All the whiners being all “Blizzard never lets us have…

*further downhill, hehe

*shrug* It’s difficult to be spoiled on pastiches that directly reference B-movie-style episodic storytelling that was cliched even in the era it was created. I figured they would just bump him off. I’d just be more surprised if it was done well, especially after Crystal Skull, and generally with the current state of…

Very much so, because I haven’t seen it. I was describing what appeared to me to be the critic’s intent, which I apologize for not making clear.

It does the opposite of the things Crystal Skull did, but Crystal Skull didn’t get ripped for doing them: it got ripped for doing them in a facile manner with bizarrely poor writing, direction and editing, especially for the people involved. And functionally, there’s barely a difference between treating Indy’s age…

I like this explanation, because Search for Spock is a genuinely good heist/rescue movie.

I am too, but only about the same amount I’m worried about the fascist power fantasies of superherodom/vigilantism to begin with. Really, that’s a problem for “looking in the mirror after” Pgoodso, these things can still be fun in the moment, hehe.

The Question, played by Michael Fassbender (who is, in fact, naturally redheaded). Potentially voiced while in the mask by Jeffrey Coombs.

That’s my dream, anyways.

Art shouldn’t be discussed in the context of other art, got it.

The other prominent (though somewhat universally unnoted) return from 3, of course, is Lorath himself. He’s the young Horadric monk that Tyrael sends to find the Nephilim in RoS’ opening cinematic and follows you around on parts of the main quest. He also is the one having idle conversations with Tyrael in all the…
