Disclaimer: I like Olivia Wilde’s work much, much more than Sudekis’s, and know nothing about their relationship

We are, in fact, arguably the least qualified group to know what the general public thinks about things, as we tend to know fewer actual people.

I kinda think him not appearing threatening is the point with him. I dont think hes going to be a traditional big bad.

Dont agree that the implication was that he was trying to save Kim. I think they intentionally left that thread dangling because Kim bears some responsibility for what happened to Howard. Though I’m sure he’s hoping that his increased sentence will bring closure to the victims, and they won’t feel the need to go after …

Agreed and also: not every writer/artist/game developer is equipped to grapple with racial issues in an effective or healthy way.

And the worst part is these scenes are often the worst parts of the movie. For every memorable CGI action scene in a Marvel movie (Spiderman holding the tanker together) there are about 15 where I can’t really follow what’s happening, get bored, and nod off.

Cool, more super prominent stories about small groups of “liberal” people regulating entertainment on behalf of everyone else. Stuff like this will definitely win over the masses prior to a crucial mid term we need to win to in order prevent Republicans from controlling congress, and making abortion illegal at the…

How about this: we achieve diversity through methods that don’t feel like cheap, lazy pandering attempts cooked up in 30 seconds by uncreative executives, in movies that need to be better or more profitable than an average entry in the franchise to justify their existence, but are destined to be mediocre because they…

Good to see that the AVClub can trade on inflamatory stories that inspire these kind of mob social media attacks AND faux sympathetic stories about the horrible effect that these kind of attacks have on people.

Yea how dare they!

I think there’s another issue at play here, which you’re getting at. And I think Disney and the major studios arent the only causes. I think major studios AND the arthouse studios/distributors largely abandoned the middle ground.

You bring up a good point. The airline industry is another industry that has been made significantly worse in recent years by corporate “streamlining"

He said he’d work with Joss Whedon again.

Yea that’s because it’s not ableist in the US, because it doesnt have that context here. I’m assuming you’re North American so apologies if not.

Headline should be: Old white dude has standard old white dude opinion.

I get it, but It’s really not unreasonable to expect a basic level of clarity from a piece of journalism, especially when reporting about the reasons for a person’s firing.

Can we stop comparing this show to John Le Carre now? I see this in every review, and every time I read it, my first thought is that writer hasn’t actually seen the show.

Never liked Musk, but I’m less worried about this than most for two reasons.

Just remember: We can’t divorce gender conversations from internet toxicity if we’re using these sorts of announcements to scold each other. This should be a celebration, not a reason to get out the knives out.

Yes but Twitter is incredibly effective at generating really cheap “news” stories. Why should any media outlet do expensive investigative journalism when you can simply shit out 500 words about what Trump or Elon Musk or Billie Eilish tweeted? And get 10x the clicks.
