Is the first “openly heterosexual” couple in Marvel? I wanna see it all!

I know that, but that’s for real people. The writers (at least Kevin Feige) know for a fact what happened with all the Marvel heroes. We usually reserve “openly gay” for politicians and stuff.

As a straight person (like .5 on the Kinsey scale) the “openly gay” thing always makes me laugh. When you say “openly gay” that means there was like 2 or 3 or 4 of them that did some gay stuff and just didn’t talk about it.

They clearly went all-in on the marketing... there will be a part 2.

That was my first thought as well. Final Fantasy is taking the MMO people, all the new shooters are taking the FPS fans, and Destiny is still the same Destiny as a few years ago, just more (then less.)

You said it well. Thanks.

I mean, I didn’t like the “we’ll rise again” line. I sorta remember when and where I was when I heard it, and cringed, but that’s story. His work is still pretty good. And why the hell am I defending him? Dunno.

Dunno if you watched his shows, but Whedon’s sensibilities, for lack of a better term, are all over Avengers. But he got too big for his britches, oh well.

What a fucking bummer, to learn a personal hero is also a piece of shit. Not even gonna touch the disparate treatment of Gadot vs. Fisher by the suits; stuff like that doesn’t even register... which means I’m irrevocably broken.

I’m not a film nerd, but what they did with the lighting and shot composition on this has awoken something inside me. Looks really good.

It wasn’t the best thing since The Empire Strikes Back, but it definitely wasn’t “awful, imo. Still waiting for Super 2.

If Gunn’s gonna do writer/director/producer on this I’m about 67% more interested now.

I’ve talked to a few “political Christians” who are super nice until the Supreme Court/Roe enters the conversation.

That was a beautiful Radiohead cover, and by listening to it at the end I just found out Charlie Jane Anders (old io9 founding editor, author, etc.) was in the writers room, which is cool too.

Here’s to hoping the biosphere holds out long enough for me to save that much! Star Wars!

The logical end of this sad story. I’m happy for the victims (well, not happy, you know what I mean) but still sad. As sad as I am, I’m even sadder about the good chance he’ll wriggle free of consequences, because he still has tens of millions in the bank (money I helped put there back in the 00s) to buy more

I wasn’t gonna go over to Gizmodo and argue about it, but I’m perfectly OK with a well-done, Foundation-What-If series about the concept of psychohistory. Not a lot of sci-fi novels from the 50s (or 60s, Jubal Harshaw) would fly in today’s culture.

I knew someone with the surname Fish, and they were really fucking sensitive about that.

Wierdest thing, for me, about getting older is not the friends and family dying. That’s not great, don’t get me wrong, but I’ve been prepared for that since I was a kid. Vampire fiction, my grandpa, etc. The wierdest thing is having complete strangers that I admired dying too. I didn’t realize how much of my identity

I was curious too: BW had a 79% drop, according to Box Office Mojo, Shang Chi: 67%; Friday to Friday.
