Robots as slavery is so loving hack, that most of the new robot sci-fi has been avoiding that chestnut (Westworld included, which raises points of commodification of human life rather than an allegory for minority oppression*). *read: milking real world suffering to bring levity to your story that teaches no one anything new and is only meant to impress morons Dr. Killjoy has issued a correction as of 20:51 on May 24, 2018 |

do love an Electrolyte Infused Athletic Beverage™ they’re good for hangovers I recall loving pedialyte recently doing a millenial pivot by coming as close to alluding to that property as they can while still safely being predominately marketed for babies

multiple fantasy properties do that, but it should also be said that Skyrim’s other races are some kind of British isles people, some sort of fantasy Mediterranean, and Scandinavian. the nonhuman races also are often vaguely coded as some real life culture

I love how Constance Wu had a line from the book about “I don’t date Asian men” dropped in the film for supposedly benign reasons when it’s 100% to prevent insane social media creeps from harassing her.

DC does hard or soft reboots every 5-10 years, that’s like asking “if Batman is so above the standard justice system why did he have a police badge in the 1950s?”.

https://twitter.com/greenbookmovie/status/1057014269504446464?s=21 Saw the trailer on YouTube and dismissed it as “shithead Italian paling around a black man during the 50s” standard liberal anti racism tale but never caught the title. Jesus Christ at appropriating The Negro Motorist Green Book (the actual story surrounding the publication lasting decades and definitely deserving of public exposure in its own right) for such a by the numbers movie on racism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkZxoko_HC0

That line is from the first book of the series which was very much a coy Roald Dahl style novel and for worldbuilding a children’s book works out pretty well (same for the bad guy being called You Know Who). The transition to dark YA novel about combatting a supremacist styled conspiracy is the only reason anyone tries to interpret that line as anything but an artifact of a cute children’s book. Class itself is a loving weird thing in the books that really only plays out in a Liberal Realist manner in the redhead being poor, Harry feeling conflicted about being scores more wealthy than his friends, that having very little magical skill dooms you to poor paying menial positions in the wizard world (Hagrid, the creepy janitor, a bus driver) and that nothing can be done about this.

Deadpool has always worked best as a literal Ugly American  so while he shouldn’t be an out an out bigot attempts to make him Woke™ severely limits the character. Microaggressions only though.Ghost Leviathan posted:I'm still kinda surprised we haven't had any Harry Potter comic books. Or an animated series. Real missed opportunity on Rowling’s or Warner Bros. part or she doesn’t want to cede creative control, remember Rowling comes up with the awful plot points of the new prequel movies.

BENGHAZI 2 posted:you're not but they're still incredibly different beasts the modern snappy witty dialogue thing kinda engulfs most comics now as a result of Brian Michael Bendis and Joss Whedon pioneering it and it always amuses me when fans have a (deserved) hateboner for either of them and still love most of the dreck that follows in their footsteps.

it’s pretty pathetic comic sales are still at a fraction they’ve ever been and still declining, wokelords pretend (believe) that they’re picking up among children and youth after a few decades of being written exclusively for stunted manchildren and the reactionaries pretend (believe) that it’s SJW propaganda to corrupt ARE KIDs but the reader demographics haven’t really changed. and as said manga is loving free (well there’s  sites for American comics too nowadays) and comics take up way too much pocket money for a kid now.

comics shops are loving dead I don’t think anyone’s not buying from them because they “feel unsafe”*, and more so as a teen getting your parents to drive you half and hour or more into a weird part of town to ogle at books for twice the driving time is a little impractical *EDIT: Apart from my hometown where the twitchy shopowner lived in there and shot dead burglars on more than one occasion.

tits and rear end and feet in movies are great but then take into account that there’s a 50-180 ratio of unused footage to used footage and then you realize that every director is a comically voyeuristic pervert

We might see them go full Poochie. they’ve got it for release in March which looks pretty loving dire for movies, it’ll be up against Hotel Mumbai, Dumbo, and the Expendables 4. maybe the new Tyler Perry movie looks good
