The show’s argument, on the other hand, is that John didn’t really become a bad Captain America until he killed a man with the shield in broad daylight.

I think we also need to come to grips with the idea that Steve Rogers is borderline unrealistic. Maybe he’s the one guy in 1940s Brooklyn who doesn’t see race or gender, but he adapts awfully quickly to a world where Fury is his superior officer.

And he goes from either being a virgin (or getting pity sex from one of…

From what I recall, there was a significant chunk of Cap’s “re-assimilation into society” story cut out of the first Avengers movie. I think he was supposed to be Whedon’s audience POV character, and those scenes were in support of that.

Plus a bit of his own Aliens (there was an evil corporate guy in Avatar, although nowhere as memorable as Paul Reiser’s Burke).

Yeah, it’s Dances with Wolves just worse, because 20 years down the line people were questioning the “white guy goes native and becomes the indigenous people’s greatest hero” narrative a lot more than they did in 1990, and that’s only gotten stronger since. Also, while both Cameron and Costner were coming from a place…

Really phoning it in there, Sammy Barsanti

Epic makes the majority of their money from Unreal Engine and they’re slated to release UE 5 later this year.

Epic also owns the Unreal Engine, which is a pretty big deal in the video game industry - odd that it barely got a mention in the article.

On one hand I get why this is wrong and understand that some central Asian people really dislike the character

AGREED!

Hey, whatever happened to not becoming outraged over what are certainly unintentional slights?

I understand why he would feel that way and part of me finds it commendable, but the other part of me thinks he shouldn’t have to apologize for other people’s racism. Because let’s be real, those people are gonna be racist regardless. They’ll find something else to use. Hell, I’ve seen idiots use phrases from Blazing…

He has now switched to being a bit less cryptic

I’m a bit confused about Gadot and Jenkins finding Whedon’s portrayal of Diana as “too aggressive.” I’m assuming they don’t mean in a physical/violence sense, because in her first scene in the SC she murders the fuck out of a bunch of people. She hacks parademons to bits throughout the movie and then cuts…

If your last line is referring to my first sentence, I was being glib more than anything. Like, if he kept being cryptic, we could at least still think there was a fireworks factory we were heading towards.

“how dare you cut out the five minute scene of me playing football in slow motion”

Just curious: is there anyone out there who has seen the Snyder Cut and came away excited about a Cyborg movie? After that four-hour experience, my impression is ... meh. The character was fine. Fisher’s performance was fine. There’s absolutely no part of that backstory or character arc that I want to spend more time…

Okay, you won me over with Krypt-o-nite.
