Re: She-Ra: The Princesses of Power (Series Overview)
I think we put a bit too much importance on 'subtle' politics, or being 'apolitical'. There basically isn't any such thing. Everything is political. The difference is whether you agree with the politics or they're generally accepted enough that they're an assumed fact of the world, and business as u...

I love Scorpia. She's the best.

She's secretly joining Starfleet and decided to modify her uniform to partially match.

Re: What's new with the big two: Marvel and DC Comics discussion thread.
That's easily one of the worst things I've ever seen. It's just outright horrifically transphobic and insensitive. Snowflake is an insult. And not one that a pair of cis men have the ability to 'reclaim'. Sincerely, could you elaborate? I thought snowflake was just a general insult for someone who ...

Re: Terminator: Dark Fate
This film was made as James Cameron's last word on the Terminator franchise. And some people have criticized it for being political. But I just watched this movie. And I didn't find it overly so. Nine times out of ten, 'political' means 'there's a woman or person of colour in it'. Especially if the...

Re: Superteam Handbook
I personally really liked the book, and I didn't think any of the teams really counted as subversions of the concept at all. Instead they struck me merely as popular variations. Some of them might have started as subversions, insofar as you can even subvert the superhero genre at all outside of dark...

Re: Joker
Of course, I should add as an addendum to that, the reason people were afraid of this inspiring mass shootings? The Joker-inspired weirdo mass shooter who literally shot up a theatre playing Dark Knight Rises in Aurora, Colorado. And I wasn't even talking about the 'inspire mass shootings from incel...

Re: Joker
Even beyond the film's apparent shitty politics and the weird anti-social justice rants of its director, who apparently based the whole thing off of his own failed stand-up career... The film just looks like boring and pretentious garbage masquerading as something deeper while masquerading as a supe...

Re: Jab’s Builds! (Jotun! Tengu! Haniver! Medusa! Vampires!)
The only good vamp is one that's flambe'd. I hate the idea of vampires. Especially the 'sexy' ones. In my mind, there is no such thing as a sexy vampire. They're animated corpses for goodness sakes! You're basically making whoo-whoo eyes at a walking dead thing. Yuck. Yuck. Yuck. I never understood...

Re: Re-Pitch the DC Cinematic Universe
Given the success of Wonder Woman, and a desire to keep that one in continuity since it's basically the best one, I'd do it as a period piece, setting it in the 1930s against the backdrop of the rise of World War II and build up to the Justice Society instead of the Justice League. Maybe take snippe...
