Of all the batshit craziness of the woke progressive morons who make a lot of noise in Anglo-speaking Twitter but almost do not exist in real life, the decision to declare war on JK Rowling is the most baffling.

Sidenote here but it’s always funny when people use HP as an example of the rote and prosaic ‘chosen one’ narrative because the books make it clear Potter is only important because Voldemort thought he was important. It's actually a great subversion of the 'chosen one' idea. 

J.K Rowling hardly qualifies as a ‘bigot’ by any stretch of the word’s definition.

Look, I get that she has, over the last couple of years, said and written stuff that is...not...great. But I don’t see the point of trying to psychoanalyse everything she says (when asked direct questions) about the fictional world she created.

Sorry but I LOVE it. It contains my favourite Chris Colombus traits: he is tied by the Rowling pressure but he gets the child’s view as few others. The most important part of the movie are the kids getting introduced to an elite world that is full of surprises and difficult to grasp, and HP1 also has strong ties to…

There are some great points here about how much pressure Columbus et al was under to make as literal of an adaptation as possible. Yet it made for such an interesting contrast to Fellowship of the Ring, which came out only a month later. The Sorcerer’s Stone reeked of a studio trying desperately to make money off a…

Ahh the AVclub, where they’ll “snark” about a directors comments about a streaming service (which doesn’t have HDR, atmos, isn’t available in on all platforms, has been broken for months on others) and ignore the important parts of an article. Like, executives brazenly ignoring contracts, looking to cutout profit…

It can also mean that you’re slightly mad.

If you have to resort to insults on your first response, you’ve lost the argument

The core problem—that the novel’s vision of geekdom focuses entirely on the favorite media of cishet white men—is more difficult to address.

I’ve been getting through this year by watching tons of history documentaries so I can remember that despite what’s going on, we truly are living in the best of times. And JFC, everybody was problematic for most of human history. I legitimately cannot fathom how anyone thought that 99% of everything that happened…

It’s happening again.

Babies (or toddlers) will put anything and everything in their mouths. It was played as a joke. Christ, it’s really not that deep.

Eggs, unfertilized.

Is this supposed to be satire?

Seriously, you should find another show hot-take the fuck out of.

Not every show need everything to be deeply connected from episode to episode. Not having greater ambitions isn’t a show problem. Your putting some sort of expectations on the show and that is not the shows fault.

I’m pretty sure thats why he played Dr Octopus later , to kill that SPIDERMAN WHO IS A MENACE!!
