Never tell me the odds!

Wait a minute! Everybody said that this was going to be a disaster!

Imagine having to explain to your children what the hell a pager is.

Just convinces me further that the non-historical titles are now the way to go with the franchise. Warhammer both 1 and 2 were the most well selling and popular iterations of the series in a long time. Makes me wonder how well a star wars or lord of the rings total war would go. Probably well, better than the…

SyFy channel you say? I’ll check them out after SyFy cancels them after 3-4 seasons. Getting emotionally invested in television shows that air on the SyFy channel feels like a mistake. I’ve been burned too many times to touch that fire: Alphas, Incorporated, Blood Drive, Dark Matter, The Expanse, Stargate Universe,…

“Listen, and understand. That fans are out there. They can’t be bargained with. They can’t be reasoned with. They don’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And they absolutely will not stop, ever, until you do what they want.”

He might be worried about her reaction, but I suspect he’s still not completely in control.

Classic Rock, man.

That is honestly why people stop listening. When someone can never be perfect and always being told this and that...they tend to stop listening. Articles like this start making folks not listen and stop caring....it is called nagging.

So the Asian American character... the Latino American character... the 2 African American characters....

Does the lack of a prominent gay character in Iron Fist or Luke Cage make it blind to the existence of gay people? Is it denigrating that in the world of Jessica Jones a black woman may not be instrumental to the story they choose to tell/show? POC aren’t window dressing and they’re not unicorns either.

To rebut your…

over/under 15 people who care about this “issue”, I’m taking the under.

I’m not discounting what you’re saying. I’m simply saying that someone having more black & latino men, and white women in their sphere isn’t impossible or even necessarily unlikely. For someone to say that this is “problematic” to me reeks of personal bias. I watch Luke Cage and don’t question the lack of white women…

It’s not a deficiency of perspective because a black actress isn’t a “perspective.” You’re talking about the lack of a casting choice which is immaterial to the show’s premise. Just because you don’t like something doesn’t make it “problematic.” The belief is that inserting a black woman into the show will make you…

Oh, stop.

Okay, but why is that taken as a treatise on race? Her adopted sister, Patsy, is a prominent part of Jessica’s circle and thus takes up a cast role. What we’re talking about is tokenism. CPM’s looking at this through a deficiency lens. The only prominent white characters in Luke Cage are Shades (a crook) and Scarf (a…

Do multiple black men, a Hispanic guy, or an Asian guy not count for some reason?
