That thing where you spent over 70 dollars on fake fur to look as luxurious as the chest of a 70 year old dude in Boca

He needs to pluck the raven feathers.

Have you tried having 5 people chant your spell through autotune?

On the subject of photos; pay attention to the angles.

Or cast a Nepali actor in the role, seeing as how the location was moved to Nepal. Avoid the complications with China, but still keep an Asian actor in the role.

My only argument for a white male Strange is that the story really is about him shedding layers of unthinking privilege. If he was Latino or Middle Eastern, that sense of smug entitlement wouldn’t make quite as much sense?

Her tone-deafness really is shocking to me in this day and age. Like, how hard to you have to work at it to be so clueless?

Counterpoint: Marvel knew that Doctor Strange was going to make a bazillion dollars whether they cast an Asian actor or Tilda Swinton in the role. They may be one of the few movie studios that doesn’t have to use that bullshit economic excuse to justify whitewashing a cast because their cult following and mass appeal

What, exactly, was despicable about what they did? They didn’t dox him as they didn’t release his info to anybody. All they did was threaten to tell on him to his mom. That’s not breaking any laws, they didnt harm the child in any way, they just taught him the adult lesson that actions have consequences.

My feeling is that they shouldn’t. Like Westworld seems to be doing all along, so far, the draw isn’t the shock or surprise, but the execution. And I’m ok with that. A well told story doesn’t necessarily need to be surprising. Trying to strive for shock or worse, letting surprise me your main metric for quality, is

The only conclusion I can come up with is that the employees had just indulged in some particularly paranoia-inducing weed together. Because that’s just fucking weird.

agreed, she’s just a head above most, due to the soapbox she’s standing on.

As I mentioned elsewhere, I really hope the history books also note that Obama was faced with a possibly historic level of obstructionism from Congress. So he was forced to get creative with executive power in order to govern.

I’m going to say it would be a 100% possibility. People like that only have one mode, destruction.

I really wish that Oprah had never brought Dr.’s Phil & Oz out of the grays.

Because he is a straight (maybe bi? who knows?) white male, he is exactly the type of ally that we need more of.
