This comparison is so broad you could basically take any two directors and say, “Look at the similarities!”

To engage with you from an academic perspective:

She was never that good of an MMA fighter. She had 1 big skill and no real coaching. As the level of athletes increased and people’s skill levels went up, she just stayed the same.

It’s not plagiarism. Recalling earlier works to make a statement is a time honoured tradition.

Both are fictional and both can be dicks in their respective stories but if Tony could turn water into wine nothing would ever get done.

You’re spot on with the mentor/father-figure assessment. The fanboy in me hopes that Alton was supportive/encouraging with him following the pilot cancellation rather than the later...but you never know what goes down behind the scenes of the Mark Summers’ edible empire.

What backlash? What criticism? What concern? All I see is a few loudmouths trying to score some points and get some clicks online. Leave WestWorld to the story and not to be catered to anyone or any special group of people. If the story requires to focus on a particular characters sexuality then please go ahead, but…

Not even a petty celebrity story, but it’s the only one I have, so I’ll share it since it’s super awkward:

Yeah! This whole thread is weirdly judgey, let the rich woman live her insane rich-woman life. But don’t let her assault people. 

Ha! If so, she hasn’t let me know yet because she is a teeny, tiny bit scared of me. Probably my heathen ways.

The language around suicide has changed, in large part as an effort to remove the attendant shame and guilt associated with the former phrasing. Suicide attempts used to be illegal, and saying someone “committed” suicide carries with it the connotation of criminal activity (i.e., “committed murder”). Suicide survivors…

You’re making a lazy, dull argument. A Chinese filmmaker can cast whomever he or she wants; the white savior trope you’re knee-jerk reacting to isn’t pervasive in the Chinese film industry. And it’s not uncommon at all for American filmmakers to twist or alter aspects of their films to appease Beijing or render their…

I know I’m a bit high at the moment but what the hell did I just read? Like, is it me or does this article consist of mostly rambling incoherent thoughts? Should I be doing shots every time I read “Suicide Squad: The Extended Cut”?

True, but the high level guards are usually gameplay mechanics, rather than an aspect of the narrative.

The decision to vote either Trump or Clinton is not a simple difference of opinion. The man is openly hostile towards women, immigrants, people of color, and, to a lesser extent, LGBT folks (although Pence more than makes up for it on that front). And this doesn’t even take into account how erratic and capricious he…

Easy. Your country is full of terrified, racist, sexist assholes.

This is ‘Merica! It is our God given right to get shit faced in dangerous situations.

Did you stop and wonder why twitch doesn’t already have such rules?

Widowmaker is half-French, and half-spider, you fucking Trump-voting bigot.

This is a complicated and fraught topic, one that deserves a more thoughtful take than the one offered by Ms. Moskovitz. This is not about some cruel effort by men to define and control women’s bodies, as she glibly asserts. It’s about trying to create an environment where women have a chance to compete and succeed,…
