It should be a prequel. A young William Wonka fights in the Vietnam war, loses his mind after wiping out a village. Adopts a whimsical persona. Recruits Vietnamese people deformed by Agent Orange, which turned their skin orange. Opens a candy factory. Ruthlessly destroys any competing candy factories. It’s not a…

I don’t really get the Wonder Woman adoration. It’s an entertaining, albeit pretty conventional superhero movie that relies a too much on effects-laden bombast for my tastes.

They changed the timeline.

I’m pretty sure that the neo-nazis people who believe in ethics in video game journalism are a loud minority and the game will sell fine using “political” advertising. I bet that most of these whiners have already pre-ordered and are just stamping their feet on twitter because... they hate jews? I’m not really sure…

My Secret Recipe for the Best Vegetarian Hamburger:

“Shit posting” is what you are doing, the same-ass boring derivative whiny crybaby right-wing dreck that’s all over the internet. Why not try to be original?
