Lupin being a werewolf wasn't even supposed to be a twist, the characters figure it out halfway through the story.

Jimbot posted:I saw Fantastic Beasts for the first time a week ago and yeah, it does lean heavy into that doesn't it? The most unbelievable thing in that film was a woman of color, being the president of all magic or whatever the gently caress in the US, being a social conservative. Unless the characterization in the book was different. Might wanna sit down for this...

Black people in America historically have been fairly conservative. It wasn't until the conservative movement just started an out right war on us attacking our voting rights that that changed. Like even to this day listen to some old heads talk about taxes and social issues and it's p much the GOP platform.

I just remembered the 1994 movie Wolf with Jack Nicholson, James Spader, and Michelle Pfeiffer.

Mr. Apollo posted:I remember reading something about how the drive to get black people and Latinos registered and out to vote in California in 2008 gave Obama a healthy margin but also contributed to the success of Prop 8 (eliminating the right of same-sex couples to marry). Yeah, there's a strong overlap between the Latinx population and conservative Catholicism.

FYGM-ism isn't limited to white folks. The black and latinx community were more than happy to vote to curtail the rights of LGBT people. Muslims where strong GOP voters as well before 9/11 too, which just goes to show that religion breeds intolerant assholes equally. Of course, I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that the LGBT community has its own issues with racism and transphobia. Basically, whenever religion or white people have a heavy influence, you get intolerance and bigotry as a result. Forcing white people to live in ethnically mixed areas and outlawing religion would resolve both problems!

If you're having to cook the books this much to get your pov accepted maybe it's time to admit you're just a dirty sinner who should be ashamed of themselves (it's kinkier that way anyway).

On the note of Harry Potter pun names, there are grown adults who didnt realize that Diagon Alley is a pun until it was pointed out to them so putting something in Latin is genuinely an uncrackable code for the vast majority of the audience.

If they didn't get it after the first book there's a part in the second where they basically explicitly call it out because Harry pronounces it wrong.

I imagine at this point HP is here to stay in the way that Lord of the Rings or the Narnia books have never really died (although they obviously aren't juggernauts in the social sphere like HP was last decade). It's a kid staple at this point probably.

It's a kid staple at this point probably. I've been saying for years that it's the Star Wars of the generation of kids who grew up with it. It's not going away. Eventually, Rowling will either get more lax with the copyright or die, and we'll probably even get an EU. Talking to the daughter of a cousin who visited a couple months ago proved this to me. She's a freshman in high school and a total Harry Potter nut. She knows that poo poo the way I know Star Wars. Like, I've read each book and seen each movie a bunch of times, and thought I knew a lot about it. But she was schooling me on Potter trivia. Good for them, honestly. They might as well have a thing. I think Patton Oswalt has a bit on this with his daughter too, but I can't find it at the moment. thrawn527 fucked around with this message at 17:52 on Oct 16, 2017 |

A monthly comic book series would actually be pretty good at getting across the "school life" feel that the books were so good at and the movies so bad at.

Harry Potter would make a ton of sense as an animated series. ...or worse, an anime. Wouldn't be the first Western fantasy series that got an anime adaptation, oddly enough.

I did hear that DC approached her to make it into an ongoing comic. She rejected it. Which is a shame, cause that would have been a boon for DC. It could have been their Star Wars.

It's called Lupus because medieval doctors thought the lesions looked like the bite of a wolf. What more do you want from dudes who treated the plague with rose hips and other nice smelling things.

The Black Panther trailer music choices have been A+ so far. I hope this carries over into the soundtrack and we dont just get generic Marvel Score.

The song is cool, but it does seem weird to use a mashup promoting revolutionary behavior when the person attempting a revolution in the movie is the villain. Well, not weird, given Marvel, but a disconnect.

The Black Panther trailer was dope. Love the art style and the costuming remains the best I've seen in a Marvel movie. I also like how you can see the progress they've made on the CGI in that scene where BP flips onto a car. It looked real lovely in the first trailer but here it looked... passable. It's always interesting to see how that stuff gets cleaned up and improved.
