Eh, these jokes are all pretty clearly making fun of the conservative view of Democrats not actual Democrats.

The left and right miss the 50s for different reasons. The right misses the overt racism and sexism. the left misses the more socialist economics.

Which is hilarious because that's not what the 1950s were like at all.

The idea that Whedon was trying to make a statement about childless women being monsters in Ultron requires some hardcore disingenuousness.

Silver Age covers are no longer canon.

Honestly I think Kathryn Bigelow would be fantastic, lots of grainy war footage…

Uh, have you by any chance seen the New 52 Shazam?

Sooo…half of Batman's supporting cast is 20 years older than him huh? Bullock's going to retire by the time he becomes Batman. Well done.

"Real filibuster" this is an anti-Obama liberal talking point that makes no sense. "Filibusters" in the 21st Century are not Jimmy Stewart reading the phone book, they're simwhat happens when you don't have cloture to proceed to a vote. You don't need positive action to mount a filibuster, you just need to not vote to…

Er, that's not really a neocon narrative. The neocon narrative is that the implementation of the welfare state was a bad thing…

Fuck ya'll haters the death sticks scene was brilliant.

I mean the 4th season was certainly an improvement but best of all five is seriously damn hyperbolic
