On the show there are at least a half dozen different alternate realities at minimum. The reality Tagomi visits isn’t ours (back on the old IMDb message boards somebody compiled a number of details from the scene at the end of Season 1 confirming that), but it also isn’t the same reality as “The Grasshopper Lies Heavy,…

Universal consensus is that the second season is better than the first — the plot picks up speed and there’s more emphasis on the “B plot” Axis characters (who by the third season are effectively the “A plot”) — so I would highly recommend resuming it.

The show moved beyond the book by the end of the first season. It’s fantastic, but basically nothing in the plot has anything to do with the book any more.

Counterpoint: “Rock n’ Roll Part 2” is a catchy song whose lyrics have nothing to do with pedophilia and the creator doesn’t get any royalties from it, so who cares what he did?

Extrapolating from what’s said in the article, Glitter sold his rights to future royalties. He probably needed a larger amount of money fast for some reason and thus negotiated a single lump sum payment from the label.

Maybe you have lived long enough to become the villain?

I wonder if there are any other shallow criticisms we can drum up to justify our disdain for this film?

You know this story isn’t set in the real world, right?

The PS4 Spider-Man criticism thing was especially bizarre because Spider-Man famously doesn’t kill criminals, so, other than turning them over to the police, what’s he supposed to do with them?

How are you defining “common”? Because it’s definitely been a proposal by some reparations advocates. See a list of suggested reparations strategies here: https://www.courier-journal.com/story/opinion/2019/07/11/how-slavery-reparations-could-work-in-america/1635333001/

The movie sounds to me like it’s a demonization of the mentally ill for their Satan-given (nearly) superpowers of villainy.

Wow, that makes Ch’p look like a raccoon! I liked the more squirrel-like rendering in Mosaic.

You tried to make porgs happened, internet, and they flopped.

I had the same thought! I absolutely loved GL:Mosaic.

+1 IIRC, there were over 2000 actors in the film, plus three live orchestras.

Do you think the major media outlets will finally start calling him a liar?

I’m going to guess that China didn’t sign the “third Optional Protocol of the Convention on the Rights of the Child” as mentioned in the article.

+1 It’s a shame the rest of the movie was nowhere near that good. (Although I did think Kevin Spacey did a better job as Luthor than I had been fearing when he was announced for the role.)

That’s who I nominated when someone asked for “deep cut” recommendations of portrayals of DC characters.

Except literally no one cares about the character of Prince Eric other than in relation to Ariel.
