No, its the retconned explanation shoehorned onto him after the fact. The central disagreement between him and Charles stands on its own regardless of this dumb add on.

would be great to get a non-holocaust magneto. It was always the least interesting part about him and distracted from the much more interesting side of his philosophical disagreement with professor X.

Pretty wild how this board went from "covid is just the flu" (which kills people every year) to "your loved ones didnt die of covid" The danger of a disease can be wildly overblown and it still kills some people, especially the old and sick. Sorry to hear about your parents.

Yeah but they need record profits. Do Americans need regular profits? I mean Americans don't even have shareholders!

you've read this rant before. you'll read it again. because apparently fucking Microsoft will never figure this shit out. I've been using Windows what, at least 30+ years? A shitload of different versions across an asston of different machines. And every so often, perhaps a few times a year...

On radiation: as I recall, it worked like this. Their planet had an extremely strong magnetic field that protected them completely from radiation. They never left the planets magnetic field until the trip to Tau.

This is just unwatchably bad, and thats coming from someone who actually liked the dumb premise and watched the whole original series. I'm not sure if the writers have ever watched BBT. Or understand how humor works on Earth.

It really is a little annoying. I don't think theres a single science question asked in this thread that wasnt directly addressed in the short, accessible book.

Eh. Women say shes hot, but women literally said Michelle Obama was pretty. (I know this sounds insane but really, its a widely held opinion among women). Volumes have been written on this phenomenon. They arent saying shes hot because they think shes hot. Beta Gen Z males say they agree...

I'll admit it sounds like a reasonable way to work around it.

Oh, if they *explain* it thats alright. It surely wont lead to a decade or two of raceswapped casting.

Wat? That scene was crystal clear. 1000% friendzone. This is an interesting Rorschach test. I watched part of your clip. I see that the director intends ambiguity on this point. But what I'm saying is, watching that scene, it didnt seem even a little bit ambiguous to me.

The movie was every bit as good as the thread says it is, and the books even a little better. Although its such a faithful adaptation and the book is pretty short, so there isnt even a big difference.

Yes. It was obviously a "what if you could wish your way out of the friend zone" scenario. Which made it much more interesting, because it tempers the sympathy you'd otherwise feel for Nikki. Crystal clear that she knew he liked her but was just doing the "make you my servant and pretend I...

Just a great movie. Its really hard to find anything to criticize. Pretty amazing what they can pull off with a budget of this size with the right story. Not much of a horror movie, but a great movie nonetheless.
