Character development is rooted in conflict, not necessarily trauma. This is a distinction that Whedon and many others don’t get.

less feminist than Patty Jenkins’s movie is similarly absurd. It also forgets that Jenkins’s Wonder Woman probably does not exist without Buffy the Vampire Slayer

I don’t hate him or anything, but I could live the rest of my life, quite happily, never seeing him in another film.

“What did you want Diana to be?”

I’m talking about the major tentpoles that everyone has heard of, and especially about the big comic book movies.

thank you!

that is an EXACT description of Gal Gadot.

but it is the first female-led superhero movie since...

Say what now?

So why is she a member

Because she is a vegan...

So, I’m going to stand by my Carrie Underwood assessment.

So?

Are there a lot of PETA vegan Republicans?

That was not entirely due to politics:

For someone who was just gatekeeping what is and what isn’t country upthread, you sure cherrypicked a lot of not-really-country acts for your list of liberal country artists. (I mean, Swedish folk duo First Aid Kit? C’mon.) You also picked a lot of artists that I seriously doubt are liberal (Carrie Underwood? C’mon.)

I can name far more liberal country singers than conservative country singers.

Dixie Chicks?

You’re gonna get blowback on praising Gal Gadot because Gal Gadot has, among other things, cheered on war crimes in real time on social media.

Is there a wrong place to mention that, really?
