As a self-identified nerd, I have to disagree with this statement. The issue at hand here isn’t (just) that there are problematic nerds, it’s that there’s a vast community of untapped nerds (women, PoC, LGBTQ folks) that the industry isn’t making an active effort at reaching out to.

CBR has a great detailed look at the numbers that kind of show David Gabriel might be an idiot.

Where does the demonizing stop, though? At what point is it enough?

Ignorance is treated with education and logic, not with demonizing. Demonizing it just pushes it into backrooms like Breitbart where people all agree with each others’ incorrect views. If we react just by yelling, we reinforce the other side’s views that we don’t HAVE reason to think the way we do.

What he said was during his “debate” was stupid. But some of what he says here isn’t. We ‘re quick to label people we don’t agree with. When someone says something stupid it’s a teaching a moment. Don’t just yell at me that I’m wrong, explain to me why I’m wrong. I understand logic doesn’t always work but that’s not a…

The rear pillar screams 300 and I just couldn’t unsee it.

I loved the details of the enhanced mercs. One had a sub machine attached to his arm, another just had a pincer. For people who hate mutants so much, they sure do like the advantages of being like them.

Funny, like others I immediately thought Lincoln, as well. The chrome edging that starts vertically at the front and runs along the hood and continues along the beltline is pure 1950's Continental limo.

Ahh, see, this is where the movie shows another stroke of genius: Caddilac will have been bought by Chrysler and forced them to adopt their design language!

The two conceptual drawings look like a Lincoln, especially the first one which takes styling cues from the Continental from the early to mid 60's. The second one even says “Lincoln” on the front.

But that first screenshot clearly shows what is a Lincoln badge on the decklid, not to mention they had “Lincoln Continental” in mind.

I thought Cadillac too, but my brother schooled me. (I am so ashamed.) “It’s like a Lincoln Continental, with the chrome along the edges like that.” “Really? I know Cadillac has done origami edges more than once, but I don’t think anybody and especially not the relatively-subdued Continental did chrome edges.” He…

I was thinking throughout the movie that it was a little too conventient that they all seemed to be missing limbs of various sorts. I assumed it was due to dealing with X-23/Laura but this makes sense.

In the comics, the Reavers were humans who had “bionic implants to enhance various aspects of their physiology.”

the self-driving trucks were so neat. The beauty of it is that they didn’t zoom in on them in a very obvious manner so you had to really be paying attention to catch that nobody was driving them.

You’re catching on.

Honestly the autonomous truck design looks the most mature and possible. The trucking industry is going to be rather disrupted by this kind of tech. The two modules is also extremely forward looking.

I liked the look of the limo. Mostly because it was near-future without looking like a concept car that will never see the light of day. It seemed a natural progression from where cars are now.

the limo also had a very “comic book wolverine” vibe to the front of it. the front end looks like the traditional wolverine mask. and having the chrome trim on the edges, definitely wasnt a coincidence

I thought the Limo was very well designed and executed, but the design language really struck me as Cadillac and not Chrysler. And to be honest Chrysler might not be around in 2029.
