the longer this show goes on, the more it feels like a doctor who season everyone will try their best to pretend didn’t happen

that’s a good question.

it looks completely plodding and dull. my only interest in the movie is its time travel mechanics

The big question of resurrecting Wanda with an X-gene is....whose? Even if the Quiet Council would green light the resurrection (and I think its pretty obvious they would not) I can’t see any of them consenting to allowing someone who has repeatedly proven themselves unstable and irresponsible with power (see: X-men’s…

did he make a mess? feels like they would’ve just erased that timeline when he left it

this issue really confused me. Are mutants abandoning their children randomly because they are unwanted or because there has been some subconscious decision that being raised collectively in some rookery is better for mutant society?

my only question is who is that lady in the photo at the header

That’s depressing. I am still in my early 30s but I’ve got some friends who are dating more 20 year olds than they did when we were in college and I’m like “c’mon son”

When I was a kid the SciFi channel used to do these anime summers. They’d show all sorts of stuff and most of it I’ve completely forgotten but I’ll never forget watching what I feel like is the animated film version (I think?) of Galaxy Express 999. Was absolutely the first memory I have of crying watching something…

“His claim that he never saw himself as anything but an equal interacting with equals clashes with his self description as ‘Stalin’ on his old board and his curmudgeonly statements about professionalism and his writing specifically. He knew damn well that he was in a position of multiple kinds of authority”

the difference between this and MeToo is that Ellis’ behavior falls in the generally “Not Illegal” category, and we don’t really have any way to litigate that as a society publicly (and I’m not sure we should have big public struggle sessions)

I think in Western society, it is a generally pretty well in-grained idea that men of a certain social position will use that position for sexual gratification. There’s a reason so many permutations of it have become cultural tropes - the college professor who sleeps with the co-ed, the music producer who makes…

I have a hard time squaring the circle of him having spent the last year in therapy but also not being aware of the SoManyOfUs website. If you didn’t read the specific accounts of your bad behavior, what exactly were you doing in therapy. Its possible he was self reflective enough to know exactly what to discuss…

Every time I look at that Storm reveal page I get chills. Just a god damn masterful reveal

oh definitely. I’m not incredibly well versed on all the stories because to be honest, I really couldn’t bring myself to read every account.

this feels like a really hard thing to litigate because there doesn’t seem to have been an explicit “you do this for me and I’ll do this for you...” but my understanding based on a lot of the stories is that his foot in the door with a lot of these women was “you’re so talented, let me connect you with so-and-so, let…

Right. It’s really difficult to look at that series with what’s come out

I would say its how much of his work features an author insert paired with some women who line up with ellis’ type. It never struck me as odd over the years but as soon as SoManyofUs dropped and I could see the social profiles of the women involved I was like

I’ve been really bummed out about this since the SoManyofUs stories first dropped. Ellis was such a massive influence on my life. I wouldn’t have walked into a meeting of my high school newspaper if it wasn’t for Transmetropolitan. That lead to a youth internship at a local paper and another when I was in college and…

I love peter david’s but his constant cowardice with regards to comics creators unionizing makes it pretty hard to respect him
