Well that just doesn't make a lick of sense. Probably why my brain decided to completely forget that that happened.

I don't think she was saying he wasn't a superhero, I think she said he wasn't a hero, period. Which is odd considering that she'd just met him, but if you want to be charitable to Vixen, it wouldn't be unheard of for someone in 1942 to assume that any single, able-bodied American man who hadn't enlisted in the armed…

I notice that particular kind of mistake in scripts surprisingly often. The odds of someone saying the opposite of what they intend rises sharply as the number of negatives in a sentence increases (more than three and it's downright surprising if the sentence doesn't not say what the writer didn't intend it to not…

I know everyone has different lines in the sand around their suspension of disbelief (language acquisition is one of mine - "body language" is a metaphor, not a real language, dammit! … where was I?), but I can buy the idea that the Waverider's sickbay isn't equipped with anything that no one in Rip's planned crew…

I immediately recognized that as the kind of thing people say in movies/TV when playing with a group of musicians for the first time (basically how screenwriters handwave musicians being able to back someone up on a song they'd have no way of knowing) but it wasn't until I read through the comments here that I…

Don't forget that in X-Men stories, hunting down mutants and being able to tell normal-looking mutants from normal humans are pretty major themes, so Caliban is basically the plot device that walks like a man. Like a living Cerebro. His early stories were mostly about him getting lonely living in the sewers but then…

I think it sort of is intentional. Not so much the idea that all the white guys are incompetent, but the part about the few women and aliens in the upper ranks being more competent than their colleagues.

More like J F-You.

I wouldn't expect a Canadian (or any non-American) to have read Uncle Tom's Cabin in that it strikes me as a very specifically American book, but just for the record, its author was white (though you are correct in that she was not a dude).

It's weird how a show by The Asylum, of all people, that's basically pitched as the wacky, irreverent alternative to The Walking Dead can actually put out a really powerful episode every now and then, not to mention a quality series in general. It's like the people responsible for Sharknado and Transmorphers realized…

Without doing a scientific survey or anything, I'm pretty sure Marvel has more characters that can get hurt by their powers than DC does. The solution is usually to get Reed Richards or Prof. X to design you a special suit that sciences away your problem.

Scarfe may be the only major white character on the show, but I maintain that Theo Rossi - the actor who plays Shades - is secretly a digitally de-aged Clark Gregg.

Henry Pym, on the other hand, is how you get ant people.

I'd completely forgotten that Leia met the Ghost crew. I don't remember if she actually saw them use Force powers, but given how discreet Kanan and Ezra usually are, I'm guessing she did. I haven't read the recent Star Wars comics so I have no idea how it would fit in with the continuity of those, but if they did go…

So what would that make all the other main characters on the show? The ones you don't hate? What would that make them?

Kallus and his ilk committed actions that would be considered war crimes by modern Earth* standards, but I doubt they're even frowned upon by Galactic Imperial standards. I'd guess that they're definitely not "war criminals" and technically not even "war crimes perpetrators" so much as "atrocity perpetrators" by their…

I've been convinced Kanan was as doomed as any hero's journey's mentor since episode one of season one, though the fact that he's lasted this long and survived the fight that blinded him has me suspecting that his final sacrifice will be in the series finale and not just to raise the stakes for Ezra at some point…

I go back and forth on whether I think TWD or Z-Nation is better in general (I think it pretty much depends on whether you prefer your zombie fiction grim or tongue-in-cheek) but there's no question that Z-Nation is better than FTWD in almost every way (and the ways it's not better are entirely up to the comparative…

I think it's really not "white-washing" per se, but there isn't an approved buzzword for what it actually is.
