Yeah I get the feeling Ennis would be an “assimilate or get out” asshat nowadays based on this page. Hopefully he’s changed over the years.

Also, pointing to Superman of all people as an example of a guy who can put his past behind him, discard his culture and assimilate into the melting pot for the greater good is logically flawed from head to foot. His place of birth literally doesn’t exist anymore; he didn’t know it existed for the first years of his…
Yeah, I kind of felt like this review could be shortened down to, “It’s based on a Garth Ennis property. Were you really expecting something else?”
I think Garth Ennis hates everything except westerns, Lenny Bruce, and the romance of manly men fighting in wars.
Yeah but he also makes the Boys terrible people too. I think Garth Ennis just hates a lot of things
Garth Ennis hates superheroes. That is the raison d’etre for the series.
They could have decided not to have eight children.

Well, yeah. Thus far, Orange Foolius has only commanded—as the party once did—that we ignore the evidence of our eyes and ears. We’ve not yet hit legal penalties for promulgating facts he doesn’t like, but if he gets reelected, I wouldn’t be putting money on Orwell not being prescient as fuck—again.
Always great to see Chinese censorship creeping its way into Western film.
There is no sneaky enough when it comes to Chinese censor. Their motto is it’s better to ban too many rather than not enough.
2 things:
Because it sets a precedent that Chinese companies are not only taking the movie industry over, they’re using this influence to extend their ideologies and censorship to countries around the world. And that..is very fucking dangerous. Greed let the wolf in the hen house.
It’s less a thing of rejecting reality and more about the PRC using its influence to do some political sniping when it has the chance. In this case, it’s about belittling both Taiwan/ROC and Japan, just because it can. It's a shame Paramount sought government-linked Chinese investors for TGM, but then there's also the…
This is almost certainly the case. When you’re dealing with a company that is at least partially owned by the governing body of a nation whose leadership rejects objective reality to such a degree that they punish people for talking about/displaying it, you end up with Winnie the Fucking Pooh.
I know you gotta say “speculate” for...reasons, but I would bet everything I own that that’s why. Either because the Chinese demanded it or Paramount is being preemptive and trying to keep things uncomplicated with them.
I may just be cynical, but I don’t think it’ll solve the problem. It has been definitively proven people will buy season passes, pay for micro-transactions, etc. All of those things make these companies money. They’re not going to just stop doing them unless legislated to stop (which carries its own hazards and…
took the words right out of my soul. The model for modern gaming,(much like everything in america) is predatory. Unfortunately with capitalism being the gospel that it is here everything is morally relative based on how profitable it is.
Arctic is burning. Amazon is being cut down at an incredible rate. Hurricanes are dropping more water as the climate changes. Unplanned Medical services can financial cripple a large chunk of Americans. Wages haven’t gone up in years. And I got an headache.
