Was there a harumph?

I covered the Lynda Carter show at CBR, and one of the things that struck me was how much sharper the character was when a woman wrote the script. Her speeches were better. Her personality was stronger. It has 2nd-wave feminism issues, but it's also a good example of what you're talking about.

A shot of Tilly and Admiral Vance from Star Trek Discovery, toasting. The captain reads "Here's to Star Trek: pissing off bigots since 1966."

these are bad, racist, disgusting people and no matter how much the powers that be attempt to normalize this kind of shit it is unacceptable

I'm not convinced a man should be writing Wonder Woman, especially her origins.

Remembering we have not bottomed out economically. Trump has not hit the depths of his erratic senility. And the more he loses touch with reality the more people like Miller push even more unpopular violences.

I read something similar from a logistics person somewhere. "You can have 300 Seal Team 6 cyberninjas, carrying any gear you like. I'll take 500 recruits off the farm, 500 government 9-to-5ers in VA, a couple of good accountants and a PR person. I'll kick your butt 100 times out of 100."

It was on full display during the campaign too.

An unbelievably kinky image from a Wonder Woman comic from the 1940s. the Cheetah and her minions have tied up Wonder Woman and are getting ready to whip Etta Canady unless Wonder Woman "becomes their slave." Wonder Woman is saying "I'll submit as long as Etta is not hurt."

You know. For kids.

it perpetually seems petty in the grand scheme of things but given the way optics were used as a weapon against Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and even Kamala Harris I genuinely don't think it's possible to be angry *enough* about this shit

It's like arguing with the Black Knight. We're all King Arthur now.

David Lynch should be avoided too. For some reason, everyone thinks Dune '84 is a good pick. It's not, and I will not be taking further questions.

🎯Kissinger embodied the banality of evil. He was soft spoken and superficially respectful, and he could use his intellect to buffalo people very easily. Miller has none of that; he's a living cartoon.

I just stumbled across a fun performance he gave on the old Wonder Woman show with Lynda Carter.

Underrated.

You are my north star.

The moment I knew there was a real problem at CBR was when Averdon used the term "limitless growth."

Wasn't that when Maria and Luis starting seeing each other?

Twenty bucks says it's a dirty limmerick.

Pic confirmed. The MSM spent years pounding the Biden Old drum, and yet is fully complicit in normalizing this man's mental state.

If Disco had failed that first season, we would probably be talking about Star Trek in the past tense now. It saved the franchise. ❤️🖖

The Nuns of Navarone...

"Ugh! People really use it for that?"
"Oh yeah. It's mostly that."

Lower Decks nailed it.

To be clear, the FBI paid nearly $1M in overtime over a FIVE DAY PERIOD last March. And yes, part of it was to find and redact Trump's name. I spoke to sources who reviewed the files for the FBI and DOJ and wrote about it here: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-epstei...

"Thank you sir, may I have another?"

If the MSM were any further up his ass, they could wink at him when he brushed his teeth.

It's funny; I'm a movie critic and my last job could be legitimately categorized as "professional Star Wars expert." I pointedly held my tongue during the recent Star Wars ranking trend on Bluesky for the exact reasons you're describing.

This, too, is my dream...

i'm just hung up on "the entire media let itself get dogwalked into stabbing Democracy to death by a lady who was just doing it because she was hung up on RFK Jr.'s piss and breeding kinks", it's genuinely unbelievable to me

if she were an actual agent of an enemy polity i think i'd hate it less

Stupid Cops are perennial comedy gold.

🎯💯 Star Wars is really its own genre at this point: a gigantic sandbox for all kinds of storytelling. People can celebrate that and play in it, or they can decide which piles of sand they don't like. One of those options is much more fun.
