Pope Corky the IX posted:Wait, that's where Dolores Umbridge comes from? I've occasionally heard people respond with that name when someone uses the word umbrage. I thought it was something from Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Rowling has a very consistent approach to naming conventions for good or ill. Like the werewolf guy is called remus lupin, it's not a subtle series. So yes she called the bad character miserable (dolorous) annoyance (umbrage)

I've only seen the first and parts 1 and 2 of the last Harry Potter movie, so all the stuff having to do with house elves being enslaved and Hermione's attempts to uh, liberate them, I missed. But someone told me all that stuff about slavery is just omitted in the movies. Is that the case, or did they uh... just wash over it real awkwardly? Because I was thinking about revisiting the movies just because I wanted to see how well this extremely awkward sideplot would be handled in a whimsical film.

in the movie only two house elves are depicted one is evil and the other is freed via caper (they give him a cum sock tucked into a book, this act frees the elf)

The latter half of the movies become nearly incomprehensible if you haven't read the books with how much they try to cram into 120 minutes, and still also change a lot.

IIRC the other named house elf is the old one named Kreacher, and just like the author, the fucker who owns Kreacher treats him like utter poo poo, while telling Harry Potter to treat everyone well because otherwise you ain't a good person. And because the rear end in a top hat treats his house elf like poo poo, he accidentally frees him, which means rear end in a top hat house elf is able to leave and tell the bad guys all the poo poo he's overheard. The really dumb, and this is the peak of max dumb, is that JK Rowling shat her own bed with the TERF poo poo. She wrote a loving series of poo poo books that made her millions if not billions, and in the books you can change genders and size and shape and species but somehow being transgender just doesn't exist to her.

I mean, the Potter universe is pretty horrifying if you look at with a cell of a brain, but adding in that any animal you see might be a person who can't change back, and drat. Why is being a wizard so great again? Is it because they didn't get loving toilets until like a decade ago, so they just poo poo where they stood and magicked it away?

She wrote a loving series of poo poo books that made her millions if not billions, and in the books you can change genders and size and shape and species but somehow being transgender just doesn't exist to her. No, she's an essentialist. When Hermione is transformed into Harry in the last book, Rowling still gives her female pronouns. From your POV that is correct because Hermione is female, but from the transphobic POV Rowling is saying "Even if you could perfectly change your body into another gender, you're still what you were born as".

IMO S2 & S3 are fine on their own, but unfortunately S1 was so otherworldly that they pale in comparison. If these were done in order of S2, S3, then S1 I think the reception would be a lot higher.

So in Morbius there's a scene early on where he tells his rich friend that if he wants to cure their unspecified disease he'll need to do it in international waters because he's ignoring regulations on human testing. This somehow translates to them doing the experiments on a giant tanker crewed only by Morbius, his doctor girlfriend and a bunch of mercenaries armed with machine guns.

It would be amazing for this kind of plot to get called out by another character. "so in researching a cure for your disease you turned yourself into a bat/vampire/monster truck made of pure muscle that's always screaming. THIS is why we don't skip straight to human testing! Make sure it's close to doing what you want it to do FIRST idiot!"
