A Chinese holding company (TenCent) owns a minority stake in the company while Tim Sweeney himself owns the majority of the company (more than 50%).

Fair point. Full disclosure, I was a bit wine drunk by this point last night, and episode was getting me totally hyped so I probably missed a few details.

The car horn thing also struck me as self-defeating (Not to mention the logistics of “Could you pick up the kids after school today? I’d get them with the other car, but, y’know, I have to leave it parked in front of that house.”) but nothing about racism makes a damn lick of sense, so...

I thought, “Chekov’s bear trap.”

I’m so glad someone else is bringing up the fact that the ouija board clearly spelled “George.” I think his time on the series isn’t done, and I’m so excited to see what happens with his character!

I have some issues with this review, and, being Non-American and white, I get that at its core this show isn’t necessarily tailored for me, but let me just say that we agree on one thing - Jurnee Smollett is one heck of an actor. I’ll even go as far as to say that she’s been the highlight of the show so far imo.

Rowling is already on the losing side of this. The freedom to be yourself is a basic human right. She’ll either realise her views are opposed to this and change to support all human rights, or she’ll die an example of bigotry.

Qualitatively different when you cast a black character as a white guy, I think.

I was once on an antibiotic that made certain foods taste horrific. One in particular was ranch dressing. No idea why, but every ranch dressing I tried suddenly tasted like feet dipped in vinegar. It lasted a few weeks and then when I was brave enough to try it again, it tasted fine.

Also, throwing this out there; there are rich black families all around the world. “I can’t have this character be black because they’re not poor” is a really shitty take on this.

Too much product?

In other news, Scott McCloud would like everyone to know he has nothing to do with this movie, no matter what it says in the credits.

“Yet another example of Hollywood white-washing. There’s just no excuse.” (Boone discussed the controversy in an io9 interview published Tuesday.)

I think everyone knew that this sucked. I bet its on Disney+ by the end of September

LOL literally yesterday someone said “this will never get old”...

Hey, don’t ruin this for me. I already ordered a cape.

Clearly whoever made the rhyme, did the crime

Yes. Sky Commanders was based on the Tonka toy line. Hanna-Barbera produced this, along with GoBots and Pound Puppies. Ruby-Spears had Centurions, and DIC did M.A.S.K.
