It is perfectly dismissive without being overly aggressive. He’s like “I said it, I meant it, and I will not apologize. Next.”

Right? Obligatory ‘I have to Onion articles against reality because there is no difference anymore’ reference.

That is the world we live in now. Absurd irony is indistinguishable from reality.

Yes, and plenty of black music refers to “ni99as”, but I doubt you would call a person of colour that to their faces.

All I know is that I want to see this series lasting for more than three seasons and we having Xavin. Give us the Xavin, Hulu!

Karolina’s facial expressions in this episode were so on point.

That movie was not about her but about Thor.

But the decision isn’t bad, the giant eyes make her distinctly non-human. I think it’s an interesting way for the movie to go.

I was just talking to James about this! Because I read that scene as explicitly queer too. But I’d also read Thompson’s tweets and I’m a queer women who finds gayness in a single look between two otherwise heterosexual presenting people so that’s no big deal.

I read everything Tessa Thompson meant me to read in the scene where the other Valkyrie is falling back from her after she’s been run through. There’s intimacy in the anguish on her face that goes beyond mere sisterhood. I thought it was a brilliant bit of acting.

Honestly, I don’t understand why people hate episode 7 so much. As much as I get that it’s a wild pivot from most of what Stranger Things has been so far, going forward the series is going to need a lot more world building like this if it wants to stay fresh. I have no desire to follow these kids all the way through…

She and Tina Campbell should start a group together

Exactly. This woman did the best she could under difficult circumstances. But because our society criminalizes poverty, hates blackness, and denies children even the smallest measure of independence, she’s being treated like a criminal.

All you people making jokes or shaming this woman need a reality check.

I’ll see your Midichlorians, and raise you a “Anakin? No, there was no father.”

Given that it was the 70s, we should probably just be relieved that she wasn’t called Black Nubia.

You are the nerd I needed in my dull work day.
