Was that when he told Variety that his show was “emotionally 100% true” but that “you can’t do the exact truth, for both legal and artistic reasons.” He explained that “obviously, we were very aware that some characters in it are vulnerable people, so you don’t want to make their lives more difficult. So you have to…

He's moderately attractive and deeply unthreatening

The Doctor becoming a giant mope because his 20 year old girlfriend left was one of the worst developments in that era. Making 11 baffled and offput by Amy's advances (and human sexuality in general) was a much needed corrective

The Percy Jackson people are going to figure out where you live smh

I feel like this could have been said about the previous 2 Deadpool movies and indeed any Deadpool property that isn’t Rated T for Teen.

A very long time ago, yes. Now it’s a sci-fi vertical inside Gizmodo, but it’s still a sci-fi vertical, so they still cover Star Trek.

Star Trek articles????? On io9?????? Heavens to Betsy! Why can't we get more Rebel Moon coverage instead?

“he never really rose to infamy like other D&D villains”

Evangelists believe that once all the Jews are in Israel (or some similarly silly bullshit) it will usher in the Rapture

I mean, you *can.* In this particular case it's pretty harmless - the only victim here is Snyder as he makes an ass out of himself.

If it was that easy, we wouldn’t be talking about box office flops every few weeks. I’m sorry you didn’t like the movie about the turtle-jumping plumber…

ok?

Literally millions of little kids loved the Mario movie. It was a perfectly-fine movie for four year olds, pitched at four year olds, with some adult easter eggs tossed in.

I assume it’s because the bar for “prestige” SF is relatively low. I fell off after two slow, self important episodes that somehow managed to be less interesting than the book (a collection of dull infodumps offered by paper thin characters strolling from plot point to plot point).

This. Most of the novels above are pretty straightforward adventures. Any of Wolfe’s Urth output is basically unfilmable.

You need one of the writers to ungrey you, and they generally don’t slum in the comments any more

Yeah that’s a feature not a bug

AV Club got sold off (along with the Takeout)

What? No! Bad Paramount+! Bad studio! Put it down!
