This is genuinely one of the most rancid, thoughtless articles in the history of the AV Club. It is antithetical to what this website used to be. G/O Media should do us a favor and shut the whole fucking thing down.

Really wish these scenes were in force awakens. 

I’m really hoping we don’t see a NEW NEW New Republic in episode not 10 with Rey. just let the different systems govern themselves or form smaller collectives. that leads to way more interesting dynamics than a galaxy wide governing body ever did.

Legends canon is essentially cryptofascist in it’s depiction of the fall of the NR that culminated in the Yuuzhan Vong War. The big reveal in that plot was that Thrawn and Palpatine had some knowledge of the Vong and everything the empire did was in preparation for the apocolyptic invasion they knew was coming. At…

There are dozens of us!  Dozens!  

The fantasy adventure version of soap opera injury & plastic surgery trope when there’s a recasting.

Yep. Didn’t see these folks getting so upset on Tolkien’s behalf when the ‘nut brown’ hobbits were cast as white folks. Almost like there’s something more than concern about textual accuracy driving them.

Whatever could it be? /s

Yeah that’s what’s demented here. Aragorn isn’t a European. Aragorn isn’t white, let alone “Caucasian” or whatever. Aragorn’s full ancestry can be seen here:

I call it Fister Roboto. And the best part? It’s learning.

Anyone else kinda, I dunno, not excited about this? I really liked the twist in Captain Marvel that the Skrulls are refugees and not actually bad guys. Then Far From Home gave us a glimpse of the Skrulls and Fury working together to protect the Earth. Now they’re bad guys? Meh.

The reviewer already has their required script in place, even down to the casual ridicule., and the pattern of when it doesn’t fit the pattern, it’s part of the pattern.
“I’m pretty sure a male heir to the Iron Throne wouldn’t be forced to serve as a glorified waiter, but, again, Westeros gonna Westeros.” So, the show…

There’s a palpable tension between Viserys and Alicent, who has probably been sleeping with the king in the six months since the queen died and who, I cannot emphasize enough, is 15 years old.

No this is cuffy not buffy

This one was a baffling article as it starts with admitting that there are discussions about Marvel’s direction, then all the other slides essentially argue that MCU is actually doing absolutely awesome, no notes, everything is great. Like I was not expecting bashing, nor do I think it would have been correct, but…

I’m just going to come out and say it:

I really don’t understand this marketing campaign for The Flash.

Shouldn’t you be somewhere else defending alcoholic wife beaters who sometimes pretend to be pirates 

That fuckin’ Mosasaur kills me every time, it’s like three times bigger than any Mosasaur ever was. It’s half again as big as a blue whale. Real ones would be scary in the same way as being in the water with a extra-long skinny killer whale, not this kaiju shit.

Like the one thing I ever wanted from the Jurassic series…

I don’t think box offices are that affected by industry talk.

Oh fuck, I can’t believe I didn’t think of this earlier
