I was making the point that being a moderator on this site is an unpaid position and that reviewing the many threads here for political carpet bombing isn't always immediate or easy for us. I'm sorry, but that doesn't explain at all incidents where you explicitly side with right-wing posters, who i...

Oh, I'm sorry. Shevek's dig at "progressives" is perfectly fine, but when I counter his statement with a corresponding comment I'm the bad guy. You folks need to decide whether politics is always offside, or only some of the time. Looking in after a couple of months off: I was explicitly ...

Uhhh, to go back to the actual series: yeah, it's pretty good. I'm not sure the gender-essentialism that's core to the story mechanics has aged well, but it's definitely a capable adaptation of the story. All the casting is on point. I like getting early hints of Padan Fain's sinister nature and an ...

Above attribution is wrong, @shevek... not that I disagree with it. Something I could have said (except that Vic Mignogna's offscreen problems appear to be his own fault, I mean about the show being good). Fuck it anyway, let's fix this: https://i.ibb.co/YdLnjvJ/url-https-california-times-brightspot...

Very true. You could drive fleets of starships through the plot holes in Into Darkness.

Today's Antifa are yesterday's extreme right to lifers blowing up abortion clinics. Well, I wouldn't compare Antifa to today's or yesterday's extreme right -- certainly not to today's -- but certainly the distribution of assholes is complex. That's as far as I'll comment for the time being. Have a ...

That's where we disagree. Those "far leftists" are merely the same people who used religious extremism in the past to be the managers. The religious extremism is, unfortunately, very far from being in the past but I don't disagree that attempts to control people's sexuality are very much ...

Some sectors of Star Trek fandom have developed bizarre ideas across the decades of what "real Trek" is supposed to be and what "Gene's vision" was. Like the delusion that Star Wars fandom developed that it was all about some highbrow monomyth, heroes' journey bullshit, the Star ...

So where does this movie end, relative to the Lynch movie/plot of the book? Is it after the Harkonnens do their thing and Paul gets dumped in the desert or sometime after? I'm told it's basically half of the first book, and I want to know if it's worth checking out for a big sandy fight or not. It ...

Finally saw the movie. It's pretty impressive. Took me a couple of viewings to come to grips with it. Impressions: - Holy crap is it visually impressive. The style is striking and beautiful, it really is. Best on-screen versions of these characters (including the Harkonnens and the Sardaukar, thank ...

It seems to be constructed, and I literally could only make out one word, 'gubernaya', which the Huntress says to mean 'navigation'. I wonder if it's gibberish or whether they took the time to hire someone like Marc Okrand (inventor of Klingon and Dothraki) to creae a viable tongue for the barbaria...

I haven't really enjoyed Trek since the end of TNG ........ I've enjoyed ......seeing that Riker did actually get to go on and kick some ass as Captain of the Titan.

I'm enjoying it. First of all, the production value is fucking gorgeous. So many striking visuals. Beyond that, I like the additions they've made, like the cloned Cleons: they're the personification of a civilization in decline by way of trying to just freeze a triumphant moment in amber, and the ac...

It has to be said the series is really made with Trek fandom in mind. I laugh along with it plenty, but I also realize how heavily a lot of it leans on referentialism: there's something a lot funnier about the episode with the Mugato orgy, say, or the one with the hilariously pathetic Killer Compute...

It's an excellent show. Second season has been especially good.

It's not much of a spoiler to say that Captain Marvel gets taken out by Ultron pretty early (she doesn't even appear in EP9 except in a brief flashback) so I'd definitely say she was 'nerfed' in this particular alternate scenario. I mean, getting killed by a nigh-omnipotent being carrying six Infin...

I wasn't going to watch any more What If but it looks like I'll have to check out eps 8 and 9 just to get a glimpse of this, since there might even be some decent peril.

On a side note, one of the things I found cringy was when little girls wanted to take pictures with Tanya cause she was in costume and the dads were glad to take pics.

The protagonist is Jezzerie Jaden, an orphan who makes a living on the streets of her city, but with the heavy burden of hiding something in her past that she cannot remember.

Holy crap! I had no idea any such thing existed. I would've bought the shit out of that.

We'll have to agree to disagreee, X. (FWIW, I have no particular predictions to make about the futures of any specific companies, I'm just talking genre.

Terms like "neo-Marxism" are red flags mainly in that I don't even think the people using them really have anything more than the vaguest idea of what they mean by them. The flagship superhero properties in comics have tacked away from sexy superheroines, without a doubt. All the really in...

In addition to "My Hero Magademia", Pellegrini and Lim also published "Thump: The First Bundred Days". I bought none of them. I'm not interested in novelty political comics that become dated. Kamen America has no politics. None. I'm happy to take your word for it. Witchblade is ...

My language is not English. To be understood if you say "modern comic" or "modern man", in my language it means modernization. Modernization is to adapt or transform an old or outdated thing by giving it characteristics of what is considered modern or current. Uh, okay? I don't ...

I responded to Femina, as I had mentioned the 90's comics and mentioned the transformations that the most well known heroines had She called the Nineties the "modern comic books heyday." I think you just assumed that meant she was talking about "the transformations that the most well...

No comic book superheroine managed to be immune to the '90s. OP's question was about new heroines in the last decade. It wasn't about which comic book superheroines "managed to be immune to the '90s" whatever that means. I simply went with "relatively new" as is relevant to my p...

No that's not the one you're thinking of. The Neflix show was a different franchise and not even THE character of that franchise so it failed pretty hard.

Gonna be honest, I've been avoiding that one since every one who brings it up almost always does so in a political or Anti-Modern comics context which always made me assume it was gonna be some cringey anti-PC thing.

I legit don't understand where the Matrix story has left to go after the last movie of the trilogy without just resetting everything, but I'm cautiously curious.

One of the reason Star Trek is better on small screen is because you are not required to do big action scenes on a TV show to get an audience 100% true. Although they can do a lot more on TV now than they could back in the day. (That said: I do feel like DSC's fondness for Dutch angles is going to ...

Villeneuve is on the record wanting ultimately to make a trilogy that also covers Dune: Messiah. It likely depends on how the first two films do.

Mr. X doesn't support some of the types of formatting in the story, more's the pity, but I've added a Google Drive link that should solve the problems some people might experience with DocDroid. Thanks!

I think people forget how new movies are, like today Sci Fi is a dime a dozen and effects and the simple know how of how to translate things from imagination (book) to visual (screen/film) is better understood.

Lynch's Dune wasn't a great movie, but it had lots of great elements.

It's plain that Captain Marvel couldn't have stopped Thanos on her own. She actually was there in Infinity War and couldn't do so, IIRC.
