Hey, congrats!

Actually more like Latin America in general. The cartoons were a big part of my childhood and I’m very surprised apparently he isn’t popular in the US!

Caroline, that’s a great point in your first paragraph. Media obviously shapes us - and creators’ own biases shape media as well - but children aren’t acritical consumers of media.

Agreed on your last paragraph. That sentence jettisoned something that had defined most, if not all, previous superhero movies

Right, I think the point where the game doesn’t work for me is that I have to be invested in my heroes to car.e

My brother bought Darkest Dungeon for himself so I’ve been playing that and neglecting the 200+ games I have between the PS4 and Steam.

It’s astoundingly terrible how soon you find out you’re surrounded by racist idiots.

Not really. The situation in Latin America is also about our traditional media and certain local drama. Also, uh, probably due to the US’ influence rather than Russia (our former governments were more likely to be pro-Russia than the new far right ones!).

Well, that was a solid episode! IT was very grounded - I don’t think we’ve ever had such well-formed companions right off the gate. We have a sense of their history, their motivations and their personalities besides their archetypes or the companion role.

Fittingly, that felt like that Thirteen said about evolving but staying true to yourself - a characteristic that’s grounded in previous character development while also feeling pretty unique to her.

Not a goddamn thing, frustratingly enough. I miss playing games but lately I’ve been too busy.

The Everybody lives! bits were in his run as showrunner too (how Clara and Bill’s arcs end, for example... well, or the fact that his last episode is a gigantic EVERYBODY LIVES! as well).

But that’s a grey area in terms of personality, while Davies’ main change to the Doctor was making him genocidal. Moffat dealt with that by literally saying that when you have two bad choices, the best choice is to fail at the right thing.

You know, it kinda annoys me that people never warn watchers about the sexism that’s also there in RTD’s run. A lot of his female characters are consistently written as sexist tropes. The common wisdom of ‘Moffat is the sexist one’ really brings down the quality of the debate (they’re both sexist, in different ways!).

‘Kill the Time Lords’.

Eccleston wasn’t ‘pushed out’ by the BBC - he was pushed out by the directors mistreating the crew.

The monster was from BLue Peter’s. I doubt the BBC went ‘you know what’s great synergy with children’s show? BLOWJOB JOKES’.

I thought RTD was generally way, way darker. Moffat always ended his dark runs with picking the right choice. Compare RTD’s solution to the Time War - an awful choice - to Moffat’s - fuck it, we’re taking a third option! -.

IDK, comics!Tony isn’t exactly an unemotional dude either. He’s too melodramatic for that. Even his worst mistakes tend to be out of emotion, not reason.

Tony Stark. Rational, cold decision making. No emotions involved whatsoever.
