I’m sorry, but Dirty Old Man was already a well-understood archetype in the 1950s and 1960s, and it wasn’t even remotely a compliment. Moreover, there was already a ton of feminist writing (and writing by women) at that point, some of it talking about precisely this kind of behavior. I really dislike these assertions…

I’m going to join the chorus for Simonson’s Thor. Pitch-perfect, wasn’t one of those showy reboots where the new guy insists that every other story ever with the character never happened or changes something basic about the personality of the character but instead it beautifully and seamlessly reinterpreted and…

This is a depressingly corporate reply.

Here’s a potentially fun feature that really improves the gameplay! It is not working. So we’ll remove it.

I would love to see cameos by Spider-Man and Doctor Strange in The Defenders. Patsy as Hellcat would also be kind of cool.

I understand that this is supposedly to be a friendly, promotional article but it would not hurt to review WOTC/D&D’s very mixed record in this domain and ask a couple of modestly tough questions about whether they’re prepared to do it right this time.

Kurzweil is also doing something of the usual in terms of turning a very distinctively Western, wealthy experience in to a typical one. By this, I do not mean “people in the developing world know nothing of events”. That’s where Matt’s point holds just as well even if we’re talking about Africa or anywhere outside of…

I was curious about whether Dvorsky or anyone else would even bother to correct or update this story so that it doesn’t factually confuse two separate fires burning in different parts of California.

Nope! That’s not the Gawker Media way. Make a mistake, leave it up forever. In a medium that allows for quick…

In this time of troubles and division, I am so greatly reassured by the constancy of Oliver Stone’s dumbfuckery.

Same for me. I’m sure it’s coincidental, but it is still very annoying.

Actually, maybe it isn’t: the game is prone to go bye-bye for a long time when I’ve had some very serious or substantial server interaction of an unexpected or intermittent kind—say, for example, a high CP spawn that “runs away” after one failed…

Actually, no, it was something else.

I think it would be hilarious if most issues just involved all of them sitting on Twitter and targeting bad guys with hashtag campaigns while also playing online Town of Salem and talking to each other over headsets. Then we can find out that they quit the Avengers because Iron Man and Captain America were just too…

On that “all of humanity” thing. Is there any danger at all that the White Walkers will bother Essos? I’ve never been clear on this. Is the danger essentially just a parochial one, to human beings who live on Westeros? Or would the Walkers’ ascension bring winter and eventually themselves to Essos as well?

It may come as a surprise to Bendis, but people did buy Daredevil when the writer gave him a break. In fact, people liked the book as much or more than when Bendis and Brubaker were writing their versions.

The message is clear:

Any sense of why DC doesn’t do something like Marvel Unlimited? Or do they and I just don’t know about it?

They’re disappointed because the alternative (“simple”) means that a character acted with abysmal stupidity and survived for no reason other than plot armor. They’re disappointed because a series that was built on refusing lazy fantasy tropes is now relying on them.

Look what “simple” means: Arya decided to fail at…

Might have been the worst episode of the series. Four wasted character and plot arcs. Riverrun turns out to be much ado about nothing; the Hound’s rage just goes pfffft; for the third or fourth time the writers waste Peter Dinklage with a scene of small talk in the pyramid but also confirm in this episode that Tyrion…

It’s a small thing, but if all you guys at Gawker Media could please contain your rage at the fact that Buzzfeed is reporting something in exactly the style and mode that you all have for years and years, it would help to not distract from all the good points some of you are making. Thanks.

I agree on Space Cabby in row 1. Could be a re-designed Johnny Thunder, but I don’t think so.
