The Star Wars EU is a totally different thing from X-Men movie continuity. There’s really no comparison. 

Yeesh, talk about missing the elephant in the room, guys.

Isn’t the idea that the Murdochs are selling off (most of) Fox, not truly merging with Disney? I would think they’d be totally out of the C-suite if this goes through based on what I’ve read elsewhere.

Fox is selling anyway. They made the internal decision to refocus their company. The other largest bidder, other than Disney, was Comcast. Would you rather see 20th Century Fox’s film and TV division go to Disney? Or an ISP like Comcast?

Yeah, who wants to see a beloved entity be taken over by some corporate overlords? Why that’d be like this here AV Club being purchased by some large conglomerate and shifting its editorial viewpoint to accommodate their new corporate masters.

(shrug) I don’t see any particular reason to give the benefit of the doubt to a completely unknown showrunner whose only identifiable characteristic at this point is that he/she will be hired by the same FremantleMedia execs who just made the extremely stupid decision to part ways with Fuller and Green.

It’s the safest assumption. Fuller is a genius. American Gods was hard enough to adapt and he did it masterfully. Maybe the groundwork is laid well enough that someone else will be able to pick up the slack and carry it, but I wouldn’t count on it.

Well, it was great while it lasted :/

You sound like an unpleasant prick. Your mom should have aborted.

So you are saying that Bradley Whitford isn’t a brain surgeon?

Rebecca’s often been pretty terrible to Valencia, but it’s easy to understand why the latter would say that this friendship is a first for her.

“Accountability is at an all-time low in our country.”

“Can you love someone who did bad things?”

Sean — and I say this with an incredible amount of respect for you as a writer (one of my favorites on the internet), a journalist, and a person — this is legitimately clickbait bullshit. The mountain of qualifiers heaped in the second half of this article practically unwrites the first and proves that point. Except…

Your username seems counterintuitive to the thought that a person should repress their opinions to make you feel better.

Yeah, but he’ll be 77 when the time comes. Being POTUS is one of the most time-consuming and altogether straining jobs out there. He may look and actually be very healthy at this point, but we can’t be certain of the toll this office can take on him. So any doubt about his age is reasonable from an ex-ante point of…

Surely Biden’s window has come and gone, assume he were to run next time. Halfway through his first term he would be in his 80s then if he got two terms he would be in his mid-late 80s by the end of it.

Trump is in Vietnam? I guess the bone spurs cleared up from whichever foot they were totally in (he can’t remember [even though he has one of the all-time great memories *holy shit is this really life, please someone wake me up*])

I think viewing it as a front assumes he knows he’s acting/lying. I think people, even these creepy, criminal men in all these stories, are complex. I’m sure many of his feminist beliefs and pro-women rhetoric come from a real, genuine place of support. They just also come from a conflicted, flawed man who also did…
