You SHOULD worry. Not necessarily because of the departure of its founders (as great as they are, people come and go), but because io9 was reduced to one of Gizmodo’s subsites. That’s worrisome because it says something about the site’s importance to Gawker, profitability, number of employees, and ultimately its…

I remember hearing this rumor last summer. Jyn is the black sheep of a distinguished Imperial house, which is why she’s brought to Rebel HQ like a prisoner. Mikkelsen is a big cheese in the Starfleet, either a Grand Admiral and/or the genius engineer who figured out how to make the Death Star work after twenty years…

the “I’m a monster because I can’t have children” exchange was extremely heavy-handed and poorly handled.

We do discuss the flaw of the Marvel films quite often, but there’s a tremendous difference between being flawed and being completely and utterly incompetent. The flaws of BvS severely overwhelm any bright spots. The horrible depictions of Superman and Lex Luthor completely overshadows that Affleck wasn’t bad. He just…

Yes, Marvel films have been redundant- I’ve been rallying against the sky battle third act forever now- but that doesn’t make DC movies any better.

Hey genius, guess what? If it’s edited badly, then it’s a bad movie. Editing is a crucial, make-or-break part of the film making process. If you poorly edit your movie, then you break it. Only very select films get a second consideration after another pass through the editing room, and they’re usually highly regarded…

BvS has enormous flaws, but I enjoyed it overall. AoU has enormous flaws, and I could hardly wait for it to end. I still have not bothered to give it a second chance. I think that it does get far too much of a pass from comic fans, though I am not sure how much of that is due to Marvel vs. DC as it is due to Whedon…

Oh, for another point in the groupthink category, read the rest of the comments in this article and count how many people are ragging on the movie after admitting they haven’t seen it yet. They just “know” it’s bad because everyone else has told them it is. Is that not the definition of groupthink?

It certainly exists. Try talking about any legitimate criticisms of the MCU (the formulaic approach, their terrible villains, etc.) and see what happens. Yet Batman v Superman, yes a flawed film that was most likely edited badly (we’ll see when the Ultimate Cut is released), has been subject to absurd, over-the-top…

No article on the Russo Brothers admitting that Marvel’s been making the same movie over and over twelve times and that Batman v Superman pushed them to finally do something different?

The biggest bullshit move I’ve ever seen was in The Winter Soldier, where he throws it through the window towards Batroc, it bounces off one of his henchmen’s heads, knocking him out, and then embeds itself in a fucking steel wall. If that shield can go through steel walls or cut through swaths of Ultron’s titanium…

It’s been a key part of several major Batman storylines like Knightfall, where Azrael proves unworthy of the cowl because he crosses the line and kills a serial killer.

So, at best it’s a loose selective rule, depending on the iteration of Batman?

It’s fine, most of my time on the call line is spent spinning in my chair waiting for a call. Something like this would at least give me something to do. Plus... first thing you’re supposed to do is find out the location, which wouldn’t let the prank get far with us. If its not in our county, its not our problem.

You people are all age bigots. She looked great for a 500 year old witch.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Oh, I know, but those who are going to attack are quite likely the same who are the very problem.

Brave, brave man. I agree with you, but prepare yourself for the onslaught. . . .

In addition to those others have mentioned, the latter 2/3 of the Star Wars prequels were actually good, in spite of the whinings of a few on the internet.
