yeah, to read Val as good is weird. Esp since we know her comic character is a triple agent. Obvious there’s more than meets the eye. And I think you got the correct read on Walker too. 

Walker is an agent of Leviathan, Val was a triple agent, it ain’t “cap was hydra,” its about Johnathan Hickman time in the MCU

the “interesting” in context of what I said, I feel was pretty clearly a figure of speech. It’s an “of course this was most of everyones answer”

absolutely, we can also bring the Dr in who helped the CIA develop “enhanced interrogation techniques” in the 2000s. 

forced sterilization in the USA didn’t “end” until the 1970s, Tuskegee ended in 1972, and even now California prisons have been sterilizing women prisoners without their consent. Again, this isn’t some long ago thing, victims are still alive, and things are still on going.

lack of documentation of these other people and events isn’t the problem, and isn’t why we know more about Mengele than others. It’s what we chose to talk and teach about. 

Mengele makes a lot of sense, but it’s interesting none mentioned say J. Marion Sims, the “father” of modern day gynecology. Where he practiced on enslaved women, with no anesthesia. And even then, these types of practices on enslaved people and in African colonies wasn’t exactly rare. We love to point to the Nazis,…

• Right now, there are 200,000 U.S. troops stationed overseas in more than 150 countries. You have over 800 U.S. military bases in 80 countries. Just for point of comparison, the other 11 countries that also have bases in foreign countries, have 70 bases between them — between them.

Where did I call you a name? And this thread didn’t jump to the race card, (which I mean c’mon man, gonna keep using those big ass dogwhistles?), you did by saying what you said. And who said anything about stringent? You just have a piss poor race analysis, period. Like it’s non existent in any serious way, ain’t…

we don’t believe you, you need more people. And even IF true, big if, you’re race analysis is piss poor and you’re parents did a bad job raising a mixed-race Black kid in the United States to be talking about race how you do- esp using the types of dogwhistles you’re using.

Missed my point. You’re saying “io9 does this” when the article and accusations in “io9 goes back and forth” is like these weren’t written by two different authors. The idea it’s “io9" trying talk back around, is just a dumb idea you keep repeating. The point is, you can have different opinions from different authors…

I mean, different writers can have different views. It’s wild how it’s “io9" and an article written by one person, means it’s all “io9" instead of, ya know, just that authors opinion/view on something. Writers make pitches about something, and gets approved by an editor. It’s not about “winds” for the site, cus again,…

I think there’s more people that equate gore and little sex = mature over those that believe comics with adult context can’t be quality. The problem is that there is far more content that believes you add violence, gore, and sex then you have mature without understanding it is the narrative, the way you tell the story…

ok these are all fair points and I think spot on in the disconnect. I do think where I got hung up on was you saying it should’ve been a movie, and in seeing a point further below where you expand upon it I think I understand what you were getting at. While I disagree it needs to be a movie, I think an extra 15 min…

We disagree on the latest episode of Mando, but we very much agree here. And we are in fact, not Venom. 

but really, what I’m landing on, is both of us are taking this wayyy to seriously

No. I’m directly addressing what you’re saying. You’re just not hearing it. It’s “standalone” sure. But the issues you have with this episode are nothing new with this episode. You can say the “why bother” with pretty much any episode that doesn’t include the main antagonist for villains. They didn’t give any less…

Except it wasn’t a standalone episode, idk how you’re getting that it’s standalone...it’s a piece of Ahsoka’s, Mando’s, and the Childs story. That’s it. The stuff with the town was standalone, but you’re problem is it seems you can’t handle that cus you don’t want it to be standalone. I don’t get, cus this is roughly…

Naw, you made character development = backstory here in saying you wanted aan extra 1hr and 15 minutes to establish the threats, etc. Apparently an extra 1hr 15min is needed for Bienn to dispatch an attacker or show he’s a badass and not doing that somehow means it needed to be a movie? You wanted more to establish…

So you’re taking a single TV episode out of the context of the larger universe and saying it missed the mark if it sits on it’s own? That’s uhh, that’s not how you do this.
