Re: The ongoing fall of Venezuela

Of course, the apologists will say "But Venezuela isn't a socialist state! It's still built on private property!" This is... sorta true, but built on cherry-picked facts that, when viewed through the right lens, can suggest the desired conclusion. It completely ignores the fact that Wester...

Re: Black Panther Movie

Yeah, a society that's... not even post-scarcity, but NON-scarcity, with an entirely stable population, zero immigration, zero emmigration, no birth, no death, no food needs, no medical needs, basically ZERO needs, has no way to understand a world where economics is necessary to manage scarcity.

I think my favorite part is how my "wife" doesn't want me sending flowers. Isn't that supposed to be sweet? Russians think flowers are for wimps. She wanted the beating hearts of your enemies. Back on topic: She-Hulk is hot, and y'all have no taste :P. She-Hulk IS hot, for sure. It's just...

Re: Infinity War Trailer

If they do end up killling-off Iron Man, I wouldn't mind seeing Shuri made into the MCU version of Iron Heart (not that I would be necessarily against Riri being introduced. Tony's death makes plenty of sense as the impetus for her to follow in his footsteps). Unless, of course, Disney doesn't want...

My main grievance with the 'cultural appropriation' argument is the blinding double standards, for instance white actors playing Egyptian gods in the 'Gods of Egypt' movie was deemed racist and cultural appropriation despite them being mythical, known to be shape-changers and the Egyptians themselv...

Re: So, favorite pro wrestlers?

Bliss may as well be a face. She's pretty popular and I'd honestly like to see how she fares as a face, see if she can use her charisma and work on it in a credible way there (as working face is generally more challenging than working heel) Maybe it would work better for her now that she's got some...

Re: Castellia- A Fantasy Setting (Roc! Phoenix! Roper! Remorhaz! Rust Monster!)

Buddy of mine was playing a barbarian with a cultural taboo against using worked metal. The party gave him so much grief. Then, the module the DM was running called for a rust monster encounter. Suddenly, that crude stone axe doesn't seem so hilarious, huh? :lol:

Re: Lead cast for Shazam! film.

That's the one. And while I'd normally be all for a superhero costume that actually looks like a costume, the fact is that it's the Curse of Shazam / Nu-52 costume. Which tells me that's where they're drawing most of the inspiration from. So as previously stated, FUCK. That's what happens when you ...

Re: BriarThrone Reviews: The Last Jedi (SPOILERS)

And now, JJ Abrams has decided to follow in the footsteps of Paul Feig and the 2016 Ghostbusters movieby blaming any backlash against The Last Jedi as people "being afraid of women". Spoony and his girlfriend said something similar during their review of the movie. And frankly, both state...
