Also he calls out Zach Snyder despite Zach having directed BvS and Justice League?

Zack Snyder left the Justice League project after his daughter died, so Joss Whedon was brought in to finish the film. While it's totally understandable that someone would drop work to grieve for a family member, in practice what has happened is that it has allowed a particularly nasty set if fanboys to crawl out and retroactively poo poo on Snyder for Man of Steel and BVS being bad movies. So the narrative in their minds changes from "man takes time off to cope with tragedy" to "warner brothers fires franchise sabotaging oval office and replaces him with God's gift to nerd-dom Joss Whedon to fix all Snyder's awful ideas".

So the next evolution is going to be " Justice League sucks because Whedon made it like all his lovely Marvel films!"

(I haven't even seen this movie, but this scene is infamous.)

The whole movie is the equivalent of a high school bully leaning over a toilet cubicle to take a picture of you making GBS threads. It's just so grotty and meanspirited in a very a pretty way.

Are those photos of three different people from three different tragedies that they're trying to say are the same person? Because they look like different people.

Crisis actor conspiracy theorists suffer from two diseases: face blindness and utter heartlessness. Most of these "look how similar these grieving people looked, must be crisis actors" pictures feature different-looking people. If the actors were any other race you could argue they're being racist.

Calling truthers a bunch of anti-white racists because they think all white women look the same would actually be pretty hilarious, and someone should totally do that.

You don't know how true that is... Rome actually banned cousin marriage up to three/four degrees of consanguinity, and the Church kept that rolling right into the Medieval era. But the nobility quickly all married each other, and since they couldn't/wouldn't marry anyone else, they had to get dispensations from the church for it which lead to the rules gradually getting simplified and relaxed because the demand was so high.

Better yet, have men and women conduct cross-gender business through non-video teleconferencing only. Preferably with a bot to monitor eroticism and spam quotes from Chicken Soup for the Christian Soul if things get too spicy for the pepper.

Maybe if we made women cover themselves up and make it so that she has to be in the presence of a male relative or husband. Just to insure no wrongdoing.

Chip Hinkleman genuinely sounds like a name made up for an all-ages "family" comedian in a sitcom. I refuse to believe that it is somebody's real name.

I mean, it's the movie specifically cited by the costume designer, though. Just because it could have inspired the costumes doesn't mean it did.
