I must be missing something because I don't see any branding in that so if it's advertising shoes I'm confused which ones - I assume Nike though, on account of obviousness

hold on so was it a snake monster who she retconned into being a person or is it a snake monster who was secretly a person who can shapeshift into a snake monster all along and she never showed her human form before and then she did in a new story and she was asian because the first one is dumb but the second one is fine

Brother Entropy posted:yes but complaining that the snake turns into the wrong race of sexy woman seems kinda missing the forest for the trees because that movie was already on the shitlist because it has johnny depp in it because he is lovely dickhead and this just adds to another reason why its the most problematic thing for the next 20 minutes.

Is Nagini the vile viper whose poisonous fang was plunged into the heart of the white protagonist's GF to infect her with evil? Sounds like the ideal character to turn into a woke icon. E: No, Nagini apparently wasn't the basilisk. Nagini was just Voldemort's (more like Voldetrump!) people eating snake.

Actually a weird riff about Hillary being laseen, the former "serving girl" turned assassin turned empress who sucks and who's reign is largely defined by a) trying to conquer the world and b) failing because of rebellions inside her own forces would rule
