It always annoys me when someone leaps to the defense of a poorly-crafted joke with the "stop being a buzzkill" argument. Seriously, the joke's premise was based on something that doesn't even exist. It's not a buzzkill to say that it isn't funny.

Ok, I know io9 is supposed to be a science-fiction site, but why the hell are we propagating pseudoscientific crap like chemtrails? I mean just check out the outright dismissal of mundane causes:

I still have to deal with people rudely smoking in non-smoking environments (and peeling no-smoking stickers off when they're really motivated)

Actually, it does.

Not only that, but the showrunners even acknowledge and recognize the Eastman and Laird comics too. Just check out their opening credits end-pose:

It made sense when they were still Frank Miller parodies, but they've grown beyond that. Watch the mega crossover Turtles Forever, and you'll see what I mean (they also make fun of the 87' Turtles).

They are for a lot of men.

I'd take that Avengers news with a grain of salt. Any search for a Kim Soo Hyun in the usual K-drama sites yields a male, not female, actor.

Tattoos are subjective. I know some guys who'd get harder at the thought of an inked lady. Myself, I find small ones fascinating, and large ones distracting.

It's because the other guy was arguing for the point of modernity. I'm just trying to point out that his argument is worthless, since they're not using modern tactical gear.

some of the shots were too portrait-y. Which kind of misses the point of cinema: it's a dynamic visual medium. No need to group the cast center frame every single time.

To be fair to Skyfall, it was classic Bond, convoluted plots and all.

Isn't this film universally loved? And doesn't this, by extension, color your hate of it as jaded hipsterism?

Since when did people hate Guardians of Ga'hoole?

I really enjoyed Elysium. It's also 68% at Rotten Tomatoes, so your opinion isn't even in the majority.

Personally, I liked the movie. Then again, I appreciate visual storytelling more, and am totally not bothered about hypersexualization of women.

Disagree all you want, Wikipedia itself backs me up, and I quote:

Fair enough.

And what I'm saying is that those Western shows weren't the ones to cement the idea of a black-clad ninja in the collective unconscious: ninja were already depicted in black clothes in Japan prior to Michael Dudikoff donning stagehand black. They exported the ninja fully-romanticized.

But didn't they gain market share because of gimmicky attractions? Or are we all supposed to forget that the Wii existed?
