Zootopia 2 could work if they ditch the cop angle and put Judy and Nick in new careers for whatever reason. But actually, does the sequel need to be about Judy and Nick at all? Disney Plus had a great Zootopia miniseries recently and Nick and Judy weren’t even in it. It just focused on a bunch of supporting…

The disclaimer makes it worse, actually. So you’re fully aware that Rowling is complicit in an extremist hate campaign against one of society’s most vulnerable groups of people, but then you go on to say that this bothers you less than people telling you not to buy a crappy video game.

If the game is successful and remains popular for a long time, that keeps the HP relevant and in the public consciousness, (one could argue that this is the entire reason the game exists, as WB considers it an important brand but also one that is losing popularity as a film series. Thus the pivot to another medium)…

People have watered down the intended meaning of that phrase to the point that it’s basically just this now:

“How about instead of being a dick online to people you go and take that $70 you would have spent on that game and donate to an org that serves the transgender community?”

“But but but Elon Musk”

“The reviews have all been very positive.”

“Turning Harry Potter irrelevant is also impractical.”

“There is a trans NPC in the game”

“Not buying the game is easy. Giving money to a good cause is hard.”

Spend five minutes on social media outside whatever safe little bubble you’ve built for yourself, and you’ll see hoards of people claiming they’re buying multiple copies of this game just to upset the people objecting to it. That group seems to be evenly split between folks who claim Rowling isn’t a transphobe, and…

“If it was truly “once and for all,” they’d recast Amanda Waller.”

That’s awesome, I love Assassin’s Creed Volvo Land.

Man, the word “probably” is doing a lot of work in that post. You don’t know what this guy’s daily schedule is, for starters.

Honestly, that bit comes off almost like an insightful joke about how washed-up aging comedians try to stay relevant in 2023. “No one is laughing at my jokes. Maybe I should try saying hateful bullshit about trans people and liberals.” Just replace Jerry with Dave Chapelle or Louis CK and you’ve practically got a…

Probably. But that streamer probably has like 20 viewers, whereas AI Seinfeld is a huge internet fad watched by hundreds of thousands of people, so it can’t fly under the radar like many can.

Hot take: X-2 sucked. Just one bland action sequence after another topped off by a really awkward sequel tease, and the only reason people think it’s such a masterpiece is because in 2003 everyone still expected superhero films to be terrible and instead of being terrible, this one was merely boring. Superman…

Ohhh, so that’s why he wanted to fight Superman so badly. Because he contractually couldn’t lose! That’s even stupider than the idea of them fighting in the first place.

Y’all need to calm down.

Don’t say “children” in a Bryan Singer thread, you’ll summon him.
