sometimes you need dumb military pads on the spandex for it to be taken seriously!

Thanos wanted to wipe out half of all life because there’s too much life for the universe to sustain. Inherently dumb plan, but understandable.

You think that was dumb, you don’t want to know what Thanos’ plan was in the comics.  Spoiler alert: He’s just a big Incel trying to impress the OG Goth girl into fucking him.

comics-accurate doesn’t always mean good haha.

I think that’s always been Kang’s problem. Conquering an infinite multiverse always seems to get really convoluted, as the writing can go in many directions. Doom is generally motivated by selfish advancement, but that can include doing good things if it means stopping a villain that could threaten him. Hopefully the…

i mean the marvels was a flop. it happened. that’s what it looked like.

Marvel and Sony have all they need in Spidey’s extensive rogue’s gallery. Doom is a churl and a bounder. None approach the sublime, gentlemanly qualities of Turner D. Century.

Turning this into a live action movie instead of an animated show (or movie) makes absolutely ZERO sense to me, but I’ve long grown tired of the IP anyway. 

There was *plenty* to criticize about Season 4 that had nothing to do with gender or race.

The best satire doesn’t have to be subtle, it has to be earnest. If you think that “the Irish should eat their babies if they’re so hungry” is subtle, then you might want to either recalibrate your scale for subtlety or seriously reevaluate your view on the Irish.

Oh, and reading back through the reviews for this season it’s good to see the AVC is still using writers who are too busy on their laptops or phones to pay attention to the show they’re supposed to be reviewing.  Why watch when you can just invent details or pose silly questions that were explicitly answered on screen?

I hate to break it to you slugger, but.... $8 million is indeed very low budget for a movie.

Yeah, the period element is a much bigger deal than people might realize. Costumes and props alone are a huge expense.

$8 million is an objectively low-budget film, especially for a film with gunplay shooting on location. The low budget is a big part of why so many safety protocols were ignored: safety costs money!

$8 million is low-budget for a professional feature with a unionized crew. Everyone knows it’s not some art school project because Alec Baldwin was involved. Movies with no-name actors and non-union crew like Son of Rambow are typically referred to as “micro-budget” or “ultra-low budget.” That’s just reality, so I’m…

Cleese appears to be an egotistical bigot, while Idle seems like a cranky bastard who apparently has issues with every other living member of the troupe.  Shocking that this apparently made for a tense working environment.

”Among GLAAD’s most striking findings is that 17 percent of active gamers identify as LGBTQ. And yet, only a paltry 2 percent of games on major PC and console storefronts (PSN, Steam, the Nintendo eShop and so on) are tagged as having LGBTQ content, suggesting that games which actually feature queer characters or…

I don’t know about most folks, but very few of the games I play address ideas even related to gender identity or sexuality, because they just don’t matter for what the point of the game is.

So what you’re saying is that context is key, and absent context, you’re just spitting numbers out that have no meaning?

“we found that games with LGBTQ characters or storylines account for less than 2% of all games”

Your write-up on Miley is missing one crucial fact... her performance, from every “exaggerated move” to her outfit to performing like “a rockstar by way of Vegas”, was clearly a Tina Turner tribute.
