How would you place Batista on that list? Or should he even be there? I ask because I had a twix on him after reading that list, and he’s Greek/Filipino.

It’s not necessarily intentional, but how many black wrestlers are given characters where putting the belt on them makes sense? To me this is the actual problem. WWE’s black characters are rarely presented in a way that is meant for them to be taken seriously. With the Rock, his legitimacy as a contender was presented…

Regarding the lack of black champions since 1985:

I think Ronda’s problem is worst than that; even if she’s break the fourth wall, she doesn’t sound like she believes anything she says. She could legitimately break every woman in the WWE, but *she doesn’t sound like she could*. Her words ring empty and feel hollow, and her attempts to talk about how fake wrestling is…

I know when people think comics they often think overblown and epics and fans of epic TV roll their eyes at procedurals but, seriously, the general viewing public loves them - so give us a damn She-Hulk procedural already!

Shut. The. Fuck. Up.

You’d be forgiven for not hearing any of the music from the routine since the commentator talked nonstop throughout the 90 second exercise.

SHUT UP! SHUT UP! How is this considered value-added? The crowd likes her? Instead of saying that 30 times in 90 seconds, JUST LET ME HEAR THE CROWD!

This video is a great argument in favor of announcers shutting the fuck up.

The judge that didn’t score her a 10:

I also grew up around Roswell, but never heard the Bottomless Lakes shark legend. That doesn’t at all sound like somebody’s parents made that up to keep their kid close to the bank. LOL! And just for the record, the description of Roswell, pre-International UFO Museum anyway, is dead on. It was like you suddenly…

Since I spent most of my life growing up in the real Roswell, New Mexico (left when I graduated from high school) I guess I’ll get this started. For those that don’t know, New Mexico is a very strange place and Roswell is even stranger. It’s nestled in southeast New Mexico and secluded from pretty much everything. The…

She’s a piece of shit. But even a broken clock is right once a day.

Wasn’t this a pretty dry year though. I mean outside the whole generic visual novel “debate” (when really it wasn’t about availability so much as one storefront selling them or not) it doesn’t feel like anything meaningful has happened.

It is stealing a potentially copywritten work, not cultural appropriation. The Carlton dance is not a part of any particular “culture”, as an example. Just because someone with a specific skin colour creates it doesn’t mean it is automatically a part of a specific culture. Context is key.

And for every cover song that kids know but not the original? Or every sampled beat? Where are you drawing culture lines when it comes to this? I think it’s a hell of a claim to say that any African American hip hop artist’s youribe video dance move is functionally a part of African American culture. Which then also…

Don't you dare utter Penny Dreadful in the same breath as this shit

Green seems to be the poster girl for "she's too good for this" projects. From that Camelot show to this to Dark Shadows to Penny Dreadful; she's always adventurous, has an ironclad grasp on her character, and is committed to providing entertainment to the audience every time she's on screen. She just needs to choose…

Green really is the best part. She totally fits the femme fatale, she's shot in a gorgeous style, her body just stunning and she's clearly having a blast. Her story alone is so much more interesting than the others and at least her parts are worth watching on multiple levels.

What a disaster.
