Blaming the box office numbers on the age of your performers is not a good look. Linda and Arnold both put in stellar performances, and so did the younger members of the cast. Dark Fate was a fantastic look at gender, the Chosen One mythology that the earlier films marinated in, racism, immigration, and choice vs…

Wait, I really liked Terminator Dark Fate. It was a suitable sequel to Judgement Day and returned the series to gnarly, hard R action violence that had been lacking. I blame the Dark Fate bombing on three straight dogshit sequels that poisoned the well before we finally got a good one.

Maybe it was a bomb, but I really enjoyed it. Miles better than either Salvation or Genysis (or however that was spelled).  Old Arnold did just fine.  Old Sarah was a bit creakier, but worked well enough, and the younger performances were all great.

yeah i think even calling it average is pretty generous.  

WW84 was average as fuck and such a disappointment.

Agreed. There’s some social media pining to bring back Harper next season, but enough sneering is enough sneering. After all those episodes White just punted with a nonsensical table scene and toast. All the cheating, lying scheming after Ethan’s money - just gone, like WTF did we just watch? 

I hope the Cameron-Harper-Ethan-Daphne part of all this gets forgotten quickly. That whole storyline had me wishing more of them washed up on the beach (I know Daphne could not have as she was in the intro) I just despised the lot of them. 

There is so much in that interview that is just....oh yikes. Watching two men discuss this is equal parts fascinating and frustrating. For starters, I’m over any kind of “that’s not who I am” justification from men. Women know better. We know that in these moments when you lose control, you are probably more yourself…

God, Will Smith is just compulsively a phoney baloney.

They’re similar but the overall stakes are totally different.

“I disagree. Well, I agree that Ragnarok “had a few moments where comedy undercut the drama,” but I think that problem is waaay worse in Love and Thunder.”

Asked and answered. Ragnarok was kind of lightning (har har) in a bottle, and Love and Thunder was such a sweaty and obvious attempt to recreate that magic that it fell flat.

I actually feel the exact opposite about the exact same thing you said. Love & Thunder approaches goofiness at times, Ragnarok finds a way to be funny yet still take its action set pieces seriously. Here you had Russell Crowe wearing a dress.

Like.... what the hell is that scene where Thor summons a helmet in an…

my point is...what do you want from her?

do you genuinely believe in your heart of hearts that someone looked at the post and made a decision not to get vaccinated?

Obviously she’s not turning world-class virologists into militant antivaxxers, but there are a lot of people who are on the fence or easily influenced. When you dress it up as “healthy skepticism” or “just asking questions” (and add in some religious stuff) then it goes a lot further.

Counterpoint: We literally live in the age of influencers. Saying that her misinformation affected nobody is just plain wrong, no offense. Did anybody make their decision based on her? Who knows? But I guarantee it HELPED people make bad decisions that very likely caused people to die. If she wasn’t trying to…

Two actually, one published by DC and one published by Image.

Only if it’s printed on a working time machine that sends the reader back to 1993.
