I certainly sympathize with the objections, and the issue of diversity in casting, I just don’t think the casting of this role is more problematic than any other, or inherently problematic. Yeah, there should be more lead roles given to people of color, and this film is just another film skewing that percentage toward…

Thank you for this. I feel like this is not the movie to demand that we cast an Asian lead. Its source is racially diverse, with very few characters being drawn as Asian, but those that are are done so in a very obvious manner. I feel like people are ignoring that Japan has a very unique history, and totally different…

I get frustrated watching people complain about the casting when they lack the cultural knowledge to comprehend that Japan is deeply complicated and unique in terms of the way they choose to depict race in drawn or cg characters, and unique in their conception of race in general. This quality, and Japan’s history, are…

I enjoyed this movie, but there was basically no character development. All the characterization present in the film 100% was a rehash of the other films. Like, how many times are we going to see Magneto turn to darkness over douche bags with guns ‘just following orders’, only to come back around. Then we saw Jean…

This is concerning, given that no one really knows what playing this game will be like beyond the first 20 minutes, but at the same time it could be a positive development. Maybe they felt the game was lacking and they’re adding more mechanics to pad out the content. That would be my hope. I have a feeling that there…

I completely agree. It’s like, when a 2017 model comes out, does my 2015 spontaneously gain 200,000 miles on its engine, depreciate spontaneously in value by another 50%, and do roads turn into cobblestone just for my car? Does my car suddenly fail to do what I bought it to do? False equivalence.

“We always have the choice to buy a better experience; we do not have a right to be fully satisfied for a period of time based on past console cycles.”

Yeah, we’ve been having super weird ecosystem cycles lately. Intel had their mobo recall, then delayed the release of new cpu architecture for a small eternity. Then AMD started running up against some serious limitations with their chips, wherein their CPUs require the power of a Russian nuclear submarine, and can’t…

They knowingly released anemic consoles at full price, and now they want people to pay another $400 to get back what they already purchased, which subverts the unspoken contract that a new console will have the performance/ecosystem to last about 5 years. I won’t ever pay $400 dollars for a console if they’re just…

They essentially just released super anemic consoles that they knew were never going to last a typical generation, priced them the same as every other generation if not higher, and now they’re releasing new consoles that devalue the ones we bought and clarify that we’re not going to get the performance or longevity we…

I think ice represents a perversion of green (the children of the forest creating the white walkers), and fire represents the age of man and the fires that create steel and fuel war. I don’t think GRR Martin will truly stick to simplistic elemental alignments. In the books, ‘a song of ice and fire’ is first mentioned…

Nan tells Bran that the Night’s King (the main white walker dude with the crown) was a Stark, and that his brother was the King of Winter. So whether or not the first white walker was a Stark or just one of the first men, it seems likely that the Night’s King that leads them now is a Stark. And the Starks origin…

I literally posted this last week here in a comment about ASOIAF predictions:

“-Bran, in his visions of the past, will get someone to truly hear him, but it will be in a sort of schrodinger’s box (probably a cave or dungeon), probably right before the person dies”

I’d had this theory that Bran would get someone to…

I made a comment on their youtube page to the effect that I wasn’t really feeling Richard Hatch as Kharn, and suspected they were casting for the BSG connection, and whoever manages their page immediately put me on blast and was like ‘No. You’re wrong. My subjective opinion is right and your opinion is wrong. You just…

I don’t think a lot of men, especially those decrying feminism, understand what the fundamental experience of being a woman outside the safety of your own home is like (provided your home is safe). I get a kick out of MRAs and anti-feminist conservatives that argue we’ve achieved equality, and that spend all their…

It’s fucking brilliant. They rush production and cut content to cash-in on the release of The Force Awakens, but by releasing it before the movie they have an excuse not to include content pertinent to episodes VII-IX, so they can sell us another game or expensive DLC. So they get to ignore the prequels, give us…

It blows my mind that even with a high degree of market saturation, developers can still release these annual shooter entries that are uninspired and mediocre for $60-$120 dollars a pop, and people will buy them in droves, in spite of the seemingly endless supply of unethical business practices, poor launches, cookie…

As a teenager, I went to Jiffy Lube for an oil change on my mid-nineties Nissan Maxima, which had a slight knock in one cylinder that my dad didn’t want to get fixed, and that I couldn’t afford, being a full-time college and high school student at the time. They started up the car and the head douchebag loudly…

I have an uncanny ability to estimate the age of film (which means diddly squat to everyone but me), and my first guess was that this was from 1910. I’m thinking that’s the case.

They’re everywhere in this bitch.
