It feels like the article author is just incredibly cynical, like he refuses to believe that someone so successful and famous could also just be this quiet nice guy with an ordinary home life. Or maybe he wanted the hook of this article to be “look how fucked up Brandon Sanderson is!” and he’s pissed that Sanderson…

You think it wouldn’t be realistic for the government to be hypocritical? Have you...ever seen a government?
Well, Lillyhammer and House of Cards both actually premiered before Hemlock Grove, so this is true.
I dunno, I think the approach toward music licensing has changed. It makes more sense to cut or change a song (unless this is impossible, which is generally only the case with older shows) than remove an entire show.
Music licensing might explain some older shows like Arrested Development, but the large majority of these were newer series, or cartoons (which hardly ever use pre-existing songs.)
Two things:
Ahmed Best is awesome and I’m glad his time has finally come after decades of being unappreciated. Given the way that flashback ended, I’m sure we’ll see more Kelleran Beq before this season is over. The question is, will he be doomed by the canon, or will he turn out to be one of the approximately 8437629 Jedi who…
There’s no one more responsible for this misconception than Vegeta himself. He’s the one who is constantly going on about “surpassing Kakarot,” and who always has an emotional crisis whenever Goku gets a new power-up. He’s never lost to Goku but he ACTS like he has. Perhaps it’s because Vegeta is actually kind of a…
Godwin’s Law doesn’t mean you magically win the argument or something. It’s not some sort of gotcha, it’s just an observation of the fact that Nazis have become the most historically prevalent example of real-world evil.
Which is so fucking dumb since the Resistance represents the ruling power in the galaxy at the start of the sequel trilogy. The First Order are the actual rebels in these movies! Of course, “Rebel” doesn’t automatically mean you’re a good guy, it just means you’re opposing the current government. If the original…
What’s weird to me is that they seem to be putting them in menial jobs. I could understand, on a practical level, if they decided to keep Dr. Pershing out of prison because they were going to put him to work doing clone research. It’s not ethical but it is realistic; the US gave Nazi scientists amnesty in exchange for…

Right? If you have even a passing familiarity with Shazam and you see Black Adam, your first reaction is gonna be “oh look, it’s Evil Shazam. They should fight.” That’s why they designed him that way!

No, the presumption in our legal system is innocence. People not connected to the case are not bound to consider him innocent.
And all thanks to The Rock deciding that Black Adam could only fight Superman and was too good to battle Shazam (even though Black Adam was created specifically to be a nemesis for Shazam.) Ironically, Black Adam might have been better off with a no-name actor in the title role.
DC’s marketing in general is pretty bad (they manage to make every superhero movie look the same as every other, something Marvel has managed to avoid despite their movies being so homogeneous) but Shazam barely got any, and what it got removed all the charm and character from the movie and made it look like “Fake…
Disney, especially 90's Disney, loved to roll with the missing parent thing. In fact, Goof Troop was the third consecutive Disney TV series to do it. Talespin had Rebecca Cunningham and her daughter Molly, whose dad was never seen or mentioned in any capacity. Darkwing Duck was a single dad too, though his…
That’s nice, dear. Did you look for a job today?
