Meta-aspect of the story aside: I love how Ben telling Steve that they're space Nazis due to his time displacement storyline activates the Jewish Golem aspect of his concept that Lee and Kirby originally applied to the character when they wrote him.

Also, let's not be too quick to call this "bad writing" when we ALL know that the idea of Joker paying his fucking taxes is as laughable as HE is, but only hold it in reverence simply due to Bruce Timm Nostalgia. 🤷🏾‍♂️

If I watch this documentary, that means I'll know what that motherfucker sounds like. And I take pride in going this long not knowing what that motherfucker sounds like (everything I've watched with him in it has always been on mute), so I'm not gonna watch it.

I need someone to draw Jesus saying "This body is a prison," but the thought bubble above Jesus is ACTUALLY the Trans flag, and the thought bubble of one the disciples or whatever giving the side-eye having the drawn equivalent of "Son of God~???" inside it.

The last good movie Ridley Scott directed was Kingdom of Heaven, and he's been an out-of-touch Boomer ruining other people's artistic/creative expressions ever since. - Sabotaged Blomkamp's alt. timeline Alien³ - His casting excuses for Exodus Even him taking over Romulus is whack.

And while I've never seen it (and have no intention to), saying you were dissatisfied that the lead of Gladiator 2 wasn't masculine enough for your liking is CRAZY work! And then you replace him for a movie that ended up being a flop anyway?? Get the fuck OUTTA here, Ridley!

Scrooge: If they would rather die, then they had better do it! And decrease the surplus population Director/Writer: But wait, he has a point, tho! Here's why~! As a lifelong fan of The Christmas Carol, I will be skipping this one

After 8-ish years, I FINALLY have an idea for NaNoWriMo. So how am I preparing for it now? By WRITING. To me, world-building and writing the story inside the world are two different things, and the latter is ONLY reserved for NaNoWriMo, so that needs to happen first. (Why am I like this?? 😑)

I, too, sat next to someone who verbally stated that they would've left her to her own devices. And if you don't mind, I'd like to share an idiom one of my besties gave me while venting before actively engaging my socials: "You can't get advice on how to fly from a bird who has never left the nest"

Real Talk: If they put Man-Spider in the movie, it wouldn't have looked like the one in the 90s cartoon. They would've hired the anthro/furry artist they got for Multiverse of Madness to make an anthropomorphic spider/tarantula. NO. Spidey fans with Arachnophobia exist, y'all. Be considerate.

I shed tears twice around my apartment and damn near wept at my desk. I'd avoid mourning the storytelling potential of the first arc of a universally beloved multi-platform video game series that heavily influenced your own work if you can; this shit SUCKS.

You ever participated in a 15+ year-long storytelling odyssey in a fandom you've been part of since Day 1, only for the pacing and story execution for its final installment to feel so rushed and poorly mishandled that you kinda wanna leave it now? Unrelated note, I just finished Kingdom Hearts III

Happy Pride, remember that corporations were only present years ago when it was "trendy" to support Gay and Trans rights! So now more than ever, as it was in the beginning, liberation must come BY OUR HANDS! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🤎🖤

Like, I know education crystals probably don't exist in the DCU, but damn! Jor-El and Lara didn't leave ANY Kryptonian education modules in Kal's rocket? He has robots who KNOW the Kryptonian language; why doesn't he know how to speak Kryptonian?

I started seeing what films Harrison Ford did to get an Oscar nomination in the past (I only know 3 outside of SW & IG), and somehow I ended up discovering that Lucas, Spielberg and Kasdan ALWAYS intended for Indiana Jones to be placed on a registry...😔

Me after playing the tutorial of Kingdom Hearts 0.2 (I'm doing a chronological timeline playthrough of the series): *On the verge of tears* Why do the writers (Nomura) hate Aqua? She's literally done nothing to deserve this...!

"Don't blame him for Tony Hinchcliffe's 'jokes'." I can, and I will. ☺️

Vulture@vulture.com

The debate over what was appropriate to joke about at ‘The Roast of Kevin Hart’ rages on. Hart himself would like to be removed from the narrative, saying don’t blame him for Tony Hinchcliffe’s jokes.

"We can -- and should -- be BOTH pro-Israeli and-" Unfollowed. Fuck Israel, and Free Palestine. You don't work with your oppressors. That's why America is the way that it is. You being a Democrat doesn't mean you're automatically getting my support anymore.

"I hate Bill Cosby, but love Dr. Huxtable." Y'all REALLY need to stop this "Death of the Author" shit. Bill made Cliff under the same respectability politics he represents IRL, even before the sexual assault; Cliff Huxtable *IS* Bill Cosby and Bill is Cliff. PERIOD.

I've always been a Mike Duggan hater. If there are no Mike Duggan haters present, it means I'm dead. He only made Midtown and Downtown Detroit appealing to the children of the White Flighters as mayor, and his indie ticket for governor was funded by Trump-backers. FUCK Mike Duggan.

I think part of the reason we're excited about Brendan Fraser getting his Rick O'Connell body back is because it feels like he genuinely wants it for himself, knows his limitations and isn't gonna over-exert himself to get it. Yes, I got all that from him saying "I'm doing the best I can." lol
