I’m going to say this as nicely as possible: where it concerns processing and analyzing a public event, I am now extremely comfortable calling you one of the worst I’ve ever encountered.

I have literally never heard a dem refer to a black person as a ‘coon’, but if you thought you could get away with using that by falsely claiming it’s the left’s new favorite word, well, at least you got to say it. So... Here goes. Prepare to get nuked from orbit.

And this:

Someone can’t afford Netflix.

Look, I’m not a fan of comic book movies, and I’m a film snob, and hell, just look at my name and avatar, but even I rolled my eyes a bit when Hawke invoked Bergman and Bresson.

I think Martin might be going senile, he’s entered his “old man is scared of foreigners” phase.

I see Manny as being the structural post-Venture Bros./The Tick nod. Comics creator Chris Roberson observed that Venture Bros. and The Tick take place in the ruins of non-existant shared universes that come out of the package pre-broken. Everyone has a weirdly plausible shared universe/serial narrative backstory.…

Oh yeah, the fact that they actually did that, that they ended the movie on Thanos’ total victory, “Watching the sun rise on a grateful Universe,” it was great.

All these theories constantly overlook one incredibly important detail...Kylo Ren isn’t the one that tells her that her parents are nobodies, SHE IS. She’s the one that admits they were nobodies, and then he provides some details.

I agree with your point about setting up the dreamcatcher. I think the real copout is that Magica now seems to have complete control over Lena.

This is such an idiotic line of reasoning. I’m sorry, but it’s really really dumb. As if a relatively unknown actor has never opened a big movie before. As if, for that matter, 42 made Chadwick Boseman a household name, without whose imminent fame Black Panther would have flopped. Get Out broke box office records last…

PLEASE

yeah, the “media hates misunderstood rich guy trope” while well worn, is pretty much disproven at this point and writers need to respond.

The heads of the #BoycottSolo people just exploded. Good.

My concern is that teasing the trope and then somehow walking it back isn’t a whole lot better than just running headlong into it - particularly depending on how they do it. After giving it some more thought, one way they may have been able to address this would have been to include at least one other scene in the…

When the #buryyourgays trope is used, it is almost never done with conscious malice and they always have a) or b) or c) excuse for story reasons or because an actor was leaving ...blah blah blah. None of what the show says in defense of why they HAD to do it matters, what matters is it has been done over and over and…

Since I’m part of that conversation, I guess I could stand to clarify my position here.

If it weren’t a perpetual and constant problem in genre television that the queer characters are treated to brutal onscreen deaths far more often than their straight counterparts, I’d be fine with giving them a chance. Sure, they can undo it, but they still showed a sympathetic straight man brutally killing a gay man…

I’m more aware of the issue when it comes to gay representation, as it has been tracked and statistically proven that gay characters are killed off violently more often than straight ones, but I am sure characters of color are as well. The simple fact is that they are often supporting characters and seen as…

That’s always the excuse for the brutal killing of gay characters onscreen. There’s always a narrative reason for it, but it happens far, far more often to gay characters, particularly gay characters of color, than to straight ones. I was deeply disturbed by it, and I was extremely disappointed in the show for making…
