the funny thing about Kimmel example is that are some people on twitter who will post kimmel’s man show blackface sketch once or twice a year hoping to rile up a cancellation mob. It never works.

I really and truly believe that in most cases, digging up comments more than a year old reflects more on the person who did the digging than the person who said them originally.

the frustration with the flash, that you’ve accurately nailed, is that no hero looks heroic failing to stop the same villain 20-23 times over the course of a season. the should would ALWAYS have benefited from a structure that avoided the big bad of the season but they’ve never been able to help themselves

controversial take here but I do not think restrictions on kids gaming time is bad - shouldn’t be government mandated at all though.

Right? And it honestly feels like he got so much better at the accent

Fuck cancer indeed.

who is the audience for a captain nemo origin series?

only if freeman was willing to put on weight.

I think this is a take that only people who really spent too much time on tumblr during a certain period of time will appreciate. You’re right, of course, especially about the way it allowed for the hyper-crystalization of certain identities and aesthetic subcultures - and this is something that has impacts far beyond…

I can’t believe this is what people are claiming they’re traumatized over

I mean it’s the very same as the “video games need to be treated as serious art....how dare you critique the content of this game or give it a low rating!” people, but of a more progressive flavor. You can’t claim you want diverse, queer art and then get mad as soon as a piece of queer art does something that makes…

I don’t really see the point of this extended content warning. Most people I’ve seen griping have said “if I knew this was in the game, I wouldn’t have bought it”

it’s more than sufficient. people have just turned into babies unable to process that not all media they consume will be directly tailored to avoiding their personal hang ups and trauma

My wife and I recently watched this movie (maybe three weeks ago) - probably the first time I’ve seen it since it came out on DVD. I remember being incredibly hype for this film and loving it - there was a late night release which was really uncommon then for anything but the Potter films.

Erskine’s serum increases strength based on someone’s baseline, right? Wouldn’t someone physically stronger and healthier than steve have ended up more powerful than him?

Good luck to him. Hopefully this leads to a massive improvement of the batbooks

East coast born and raised black man. Here’s my take on that: I felt safer driving through Tennessee to Nashville & from Nashville to New Orleans, than I did traveling west through Pennsylvania. I saw more confederate flags in my few hours driving through middle of nowhere PA than I did the years I spent living in…

Nashville is 100% not worth stopping at if you’re on a BBQ tour. Get some hot chicken (from some place other than hattie b’s, for god sake) and a few drinks but otherwise keep it moving.

correct. I love a villain redemption arc - what I can’t stand is a “here’s why they became evil” story.
