Agreed, women and especially black women should shut the gently caress up so I can merrily consume my Disney Mindpoison Slop.

If they're going to post a bunch of anti-vaccine/anti-trans/anti-gay stuff, then yeah, they should. If they want to keep their careers.

Granted that part of the reason Pratt is still working is down to being White and having a penis, the other is him not going on and on with bigoted anti-science bullshit. You get that, right?

For that matter, Wright did close down her Twitter (AKA shut the gently caress up) and as far as I know, she'll still be part of the MCU going forward.

Carano kept on going with her crap and now somebody else will be making a poo poo-ton of money in Rangers and The Mandolorian.

But hey, I'm sorry. I interrupted your wrong-headed take on how Carano and Wright were somehow victims of sexism.

You go ahead and post more on that. Keep fuckin' that chicken.

I mean technically Waititi is Thompson's boss, so I can see where Marvel would hold the opinion that directors shouldn't have sexytimes with their actors during a film shoot.

I wouldn’t say sex pest so much as maybe just enjoys it like the majority of people, but unlike the majority of people is able to score pretty impressively.

I like that the argument is focused on how consensual the relationship is, something noone in this thread would be able to comment on accurately, and not.. you know.. the fact that they're all being spied on by scum to sell pictures.

Tbf it's a bit odd to go around labeling people as potential sex pests or whatever.

Would it shock me if he or any one turns out to be one? Not at all.

Congratulations on your blind distrust of anyone? I can't imagine it's a very pleasant life. They say paranoia is just narcissism magnified, so I guess it doesn't matter either way to you.

Realtalk, assuming the worst is a depression-brain thing and the source of many of the problems that some people have connecting with others. You ain't hear from someone in a week or so and the ol' brainpan starts sizzlin' with "I bet they hate me I mean I know why I would hate me" and it kinda goes downhill from there. As dumb as it sounds, seeing one thing that you can spin an entire alternate reality out of that confirms your worst fears about people is exactly what that headspace is looking for, and let us conveniently ignore the actual text of the issue being that three people who are not me appear to be having a moment's happiness in the hellworld. Of course this is all speculation based on words posted rather than just assuming someone is evil based on their job or social status.

So anyway. Moon Knight right? Fist of Khonshu? Gets the poo poo kicked out of him by a monster that's been hiding under beds and eating children.

He goes back for round 2 without Khonshu's blessing - After he's been told to leave well enough alone.






Marc succeeds in killing the beast, ending with..



Khonshu has many secrets..

I know Moon Knight more from his modern runs, but if anyone can recommend some classic stories to check in on that would be great.

The “source” is the actual photographs of the 3 of them sitting on a balcony getting drunk and making out





For me, uh, I really don’t think it’s fair to be like Taika is her BOSS because I don’t really think that’s how big name actors and directors view those working relationships at all. They are both working on a project doing different things, and Watiti has to direct them, but if there were an issue Tessa Thompson would be the one to stay and Disney would just boot Taika, and I think he knows that, and besides that the actresses are making way more for their work than he is, so if anything the power dynamic seems somewhat skewed in their favor.

And this is all assuming it’s more complicated than “we are three people with chemistry who like to hang out and we’ve all been isolated from regular society because filming a Marvel movie is like going camping in the woods for 6 months and you can’t really do anything or go anywhere or talk to anyone.”

If you keep insisting on calling someone a sex pest (a loving idiotic and childish thing to call someone, just call them an abuser or a rapist, making it sound like they pulled a ‘sexy prank’ is so disrespectful to people they may have hurt) could you maybe post a better reason than “all film directors are pedofiles” or whatever? If he’s a real scum bag then post that instead of whatever you’re doing lmao

I dunno I guess I just choose for it to be 3 people who are stuck together in a hotel for the entire year to be happy instead of just assuming the tiny kiwi hypnotized two grown women into sitting in his lap and lovin’ on him.

Aren’t Producers and Directors usually totally different things? I thought Weinstein was a producer, who is the bankroll of the production and generally IS considered to be “The Boss”. I thought that was the case, anyway.
