If that is the metric an oatmeal raisin cookie is a fruit cake. Everything else about them on a technical level is different. The proportions, the way they’re mixed, how they’re cooked. All the same things that make cakes different from cookies or pastry. I don’t think they’re particularly closely related…

Thomas Keller’s cup for cup tend to bake up indistinguishable from regular AP. But it’s pricey.

There are many, many kinds of fruit cake.

The recipes for fruit cakes and plum/Christmas pudding are entirely different. Especially when it comes to the standard dark fruit cake most make fun of.

There is a major difference between properly made candied citrus peel and the neon green mince meat/fruit cake mix of the common dark fruit cake.

Season one is also a sort of classic TV structure but writ large. Sort of intro, checking in and pilot style intro but played out across a season. Each episode introduces something important, gives the back story. And a check in on other major characters. But in a fairly self contained story, till the end.

For color. Naish was, along with Mark Witton, on of the core researchers in proposing the terrestrial foraging model for looking at these creatures that’s become very influential. It’s what’s pictured up top.

Thing with the Star Wars EU is it was never canon, the official line from Lucasfilm was the only official material was the films and some of the cartoons. Particularly Droids, and the post prequel stuff.

The EU was it’s own separate canon, and inconsistent one at that. There wasn’t really a full editorial push or…

I haven’t watched Riverdale. But Sabrina was basically an openly Satanic teen Soap Opera built around political intrigue in a supernatural setting. It had consistent characters, clear plots and through lines and what have. And seems a hell of a lot more grounded than Riverdale, even as multiple episodes would take…

It’s the framing of “what I wanted to do”, saying it’d be in the vein of Terminator and Aliens. Dismissing superheros as mythical.

And frankly in dismissing the idea of metaphor. Even as the exact “It’s puberty” metaphor he says he wanted to do is core to Spider-Man.

A lot of what he’s talking about isn’t neccisarily…

It makes me wonder if he’s ever read a Spider-Man comic. Because what he just described is *Spider-Man*.

I really think that Seven Cities of Heaven story with it’s martial arts tournament is a great angle for re-introducing Iron Fist without having to refer too closely to the TV series. Shang-Chi vs The Seven Immortal Weapons is a fantastic title. As a concept it fits the wushu fantasy and fairy tale aspects Shang-Chi…

Except.... Except. There is a very tiny but significant sign that those TV shows may finally be getting worked into the fold.

It’s not remarkable that they’d spend that much. It’s god damn bonkers that they would cut the series after.

Roman is an actual Nazi with a serious sexual harassment problem.

If you ask me that makes him the most realistic choice for a major GOP voice these days.

Yeah I know people who are in SAG and only do extra work. The kinda people who have a line, or are clearly visible in the background. Even they get residuals. Now “Hollywood Accounting” is mostly about not paying that out, but there are residuals. 

McDonald’s doesn’t need to buy/mandate those, or book that contract.

They’re after an automated machine that does a bunch of shit they don’t specialize in and don’t have the time for.

Nah you’re pushing stock bad faith arguments from one particular party.

Not my fucking job dude.

This isn’t high school debate club.

Well I mean you could pay attention to shit and do your own home work.
