    In fairness like I said previously Wonder Woman had a female director and still had a problematic handling of the main character's driving motivational factor being her romantic partner. It reminded...

    Picked him up in two of my Fantasy leagues, here's hoping he can get healthy. Juju and the rest haven't really been nailing that Tyreek spot, and in limited time last year Toney seemed capable of it.

    Not a fan of either, but the point about an editor going over it at least once is a valid one. I'm sure they had to go over any potential legal or PR hurdles that might come from sharing stories or...

    "And you know it". The implication being, what? You believe I'm being intentionally misleading because you don't agree with my assessment of the current crop of Disney IP? I've already commented...

    I'd say the whole "feats" obsession and the "Death Battle"/rumble thing is just a symptom of some fan's need for power fantasy satisfaction. I get it, at some point that's probably why comics...

    But it's OK if she's really 3,000 years old but in the body of a 13 year old. Sorry, anime/manga pet peeve.

    I'd argue that of female icons who have been set back in their prominence Wonder Woman pales in comparison to the woman who beat her in the (admittedly popularity-based) DC vs Marvel event of the...

    I've never been a fan of Wonder Woman because I find the character to be boring (in fairness, most of the "big 7" of the OG Justice League tend to be pretty boring to me most of the time). If you...

    They have historically been more willing to embrace authoritarian powers in communist regimes. From here in the US to Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa. Also followers of strongmen/despots of...

    I'd agree, just arguing the other group has just as many fragile and outspoken commenters who reflexively attack any sign of speaking against the Mouse. I'm firmly in the "I'm optimistic for the...

    Yes, they're popular things. Like McDonalds hamburgers or boy bands in the late '90s. Nothing wrong with liking the popular thing. Something wrong with not liking people for not liking the popular...

    Hey, don't judge a book by its cover! And he was walking around with Phoebe Cates, pretty easy to be distracted.

    I come in with criticism where criticism is warranted. Some people are so emotionally fragile that they have to respond to that with passive aggressiveness and petty insults. Which is fine, it's...

    Recorded the game to watch later (my Pats on MNF). Man, what a rollercoaster. Was thinking we should have sat Mac for another week or two to be sure, and then we did. And then Zappe was coming on...

    Off the top of my head-

    Star Wars franchise: "I have the high ground". "Somehow Palpatine came back". Seeing Palpatine in the prequels immediately turn into a shriveled monster after using Dark...

    I was hoping for more from this thread than whining about the power level of a fictional character (that changes as the story needs anyway). That said, yes Wonder Woman has historically been weaker...

    Not to speak for them, but generally if a government proposal or entitlement doesn't directly benefit a right-wing taxpayer they tend to want to eliminate it (or find a way to benefit from it). It's...

    The only reason this topic keeps coming up is because the topic is: the quality of the current output. It shouldn't surprise you or anyone else that in a discussion about quality of work there...

    Oh, I'm aware. I was trying to highlight the absurdity of that train of thought. I would have liked if they'd means-tested both the stimulus checks and the PPP loans, but if I had to choose one or...

    Thing about that is, they're polluting for two. They build all of the things we used to build for our consumption, then they build what they consume.

    On top of that the main argument China and...

    It's a sub-brand of the Disney family. My point was it is a business, and that it's pay for entertainment, so your points aren't really new or contradictory to what I said. I just also pointed out...
