One of these things is not like the other.

It’s not a coincidence they gave him Thor, though. Thor’s first movie was fine but not memorable; his second movie was a low point; the character got *way* better after getting Whedonized in the Avengers. If you view that as an extant vector, Waititi’s take isn’t nearly as radical.

It was also what Snyder claimed he was doing before he left the project, because the publicity push was all about “Message received, you people aren’t sophisticated enough to understand our deconstructed superhero drama, we’ll give you a regular old superhero movie with jokes and heroism and...[sneer extra hard] fun…

I disagree strongly. While Gears 3 slipped through the crevices of young adulthood and responsibility, I spent considerable hours in 1 & 2. Gears 4 felt completely natural to that experience.

On the campaign side it was long and boring slog of doing the exact same shit over and over. I only perservered because I kept…

Nobody wanted anything Snyder before Justice League was released, including the studio executives. It's pure fantasy that Snyder's version of the theatrical release would have been good, and the idea of an extended Snyder cut makes me sick to my stomach.

I am about four classes away from it.” She declined to name the school, saying, “I don’t want them to get harassed.”

No one is “stuck” in a Gold or Gamepass subscription. This isn’t a gym membership where they’ll all but take your first born child to keep you signed up. It’s one click on the website to cancel. “But I want the products offered though” is not being “stuck” in the subscription, that’s called... wanting the products…

Indeed. The people who hate TLJ seem to think they represent majority opinion for some reason. Presumably because they all hang out together?

Except it wasn’t a mess from start to finish. It has issues, but it’s a good film overall.

I mean I can be mad at George Zimmerman being found innocent, hundreds of cops not facing any murder charges, and still think that Jussie was guilty and deserved jail time. It’s not all mutually exclusive.

Don’t these people know better than to get on a bus with Keanu Reeves? 

Finding out Keanu Reeves is a genuinely nice guy makes the world seem slightly less shitty.

This was also done years ago to create a new music program which benefits all students. I don’t think the intent was ever to get his kid into the college. It just happened to be a benefit.

Her acting credentials are bona fide. So is her talent. The issue is that you expect her as a woman to play an emotionally charged character in need of a male love interest to complete her (see, e.g., Wonder Woman). The brilliance of Captain Marvel is that she goes through self-discovery without a love story or other…

Maybe you are not sexist and alone,  it’s possible you are just an idiot.   You are just mad that I actually posted a link to the speech and she doesn’t actually attack anyone or say anything terrible. It’s reasonable and thoughtful and for some reason that seems to get you upset. 

I mean yeah they are being ignored, by you.

My right wing brother always trots out the “Equality of opportunity, not outcome. Martin Luthor King would be rolling in his grave as he wanted everyone to be equal” thing. Most recently when talking about affirmative action. I pointed to a few pro affirmative action quotes from MLK. King knew society wasn’t equal and…

Yes, because the best way to make a statement is by meekly cowering down and never saying anything, and hoping that eventually the problem will just go away on it’s own. Thanks for the tip.

You should ask yourself why you feel so threatened.
