    The Umbrella Academy

    Whats the problem? If we're taking her word for it, she's been playing a woman her whole life, making her perfect for the role. Alternatively, for the reality based, she's a chick (with a mental illness) playing a chick. Either way, I don't see how she gets out of it. Sorry, you have to play...

    The Last Kingdom

    I dunno. Season 1 (and if I remember rightly 2) of Vikings were the shit. But for me, this show didnt fall off a cliff like Vikings did, it just kept being awesome.

    That looks absolutely disgusting. They should introduce them in Chicago. They'd make a killing.

    The Last Kingdom

    I love this show, but with the way the main character's accent gets thicker each season, it would have been incomprehensible by season 7. It had to end while we could still understand him without subtitles. Seriously though I'm just happy to hear it gets another season. This is arguably better...

    Wheel of Time

    what the fuck, how many hours did I spend reading those books and never once pictured Tuon as black. Not clear how Artur Hawkwing's descendants ended up African but I guess I cant argue with text references. So they were a race of black people who brought slavery to the Westlands?

    Wheel of Time

    lol no. I see your fan fic picture but did you even read those books? I don't recall a single mention of the Seanchan being black. Werent they Artur Hawkwing's descendants, from the same land as the main characters? Yes, a quick wiki review says they were. What is this fan fic Seanchan were...

    The Green Knight (2020)

    Why does your side in this debate consistently pick examples that make zero sense? RDJ is a dead ringer for comic book Tony Stark. White guy, dark hair, average build. I mean ok he had to adjust his facial hair, but thats about as relevant as hairstyle. If we're picking actors exclusively...

    Wheel of Time

    LOL there were literally zero black or even dark skinned characters in those books. At this point I'm not sure why they ever bother sticking to the same gender or number of limbs. Just cast anything as anything.

    The Green Knight (2020)

    You seem to keep deliberately missing the point. None of this has anything to do with race. The actor has literally one job. Stand there and look like the character. Sure, he has to say some words (that someone else wrote) in a certain tone of voice (that someone else told him to use). But...

    The Green Knight (2020)

    I dont get why people keep thinking this is a rebuttal. "The current trend to replace whites with blacks is fucking retarded" "Oh yeah? Heres an example of a raceswapping casting decision that happened once, so you're wrong!" Its not even clear why this example was chosen, since he seems to...

    The Green Knight (2020)

    what the fuck, it has nothing to do with "representation" at all. Casting a black guy for a white character is bad for the same reason casting a fat actor for a skinny character is bad. If 100% of the characters in a particular source material are white, then 100% of the actors cast to play...

    The Green Knight (2020)

    We've discussed the pattern ad nauseum. Its nearly every time, within that specific pattern. And almost never, outside of that. But I'm sure its all a coincidence that only racists would spin into a pattern.

    Dont be ridiculous. Country music has melody. They sing. You can dislike it (although that opinion would be wrong) but you can't pretend country music has the clunky, inelegant, mumble mouthed tough guy talking over repetitive electronic noises thing that defines rap. Country musicians play...

    Ladysmith Black Mambazo School of Music

    Its literally just talking in an aggressive or sing-song way while repetitive noises play in the background. No shit, we never liked the genre in the first place. Rap / hip hop /whatever you want to call the shit is the musical equivalent of the kid who was already growing a mustache in...

    Jupiter's Legacy

    all this discussion about the test has me wondering, did they go into detail about that in the jupiters circle comics? I loved the jupiters legacy ones but couldnt handle more than a couple pages of the art in jupiters circle. Do they show the test somewhere in those?

    We're nitpicking over oxygen while debating time inversion - I recognize this. but no, houseplants don't do anything meaningful in terms of oxygen production. They'd have to go with like a warehouse full of O2 tanks or something.

    Tenet (2020)

    yes, that was my complaint. Its overdone to such an extent that by the time they "reveal" the third pincer its like "who gives a shit? Don't you guys have any other tricks you can do with time inversion?" I'm still stuck on how they brought back enough inverted oxygen for sparkly vampire to...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Youre missing the point while wagging your dick about being "literary" No I havent read In Cold Blood. Know why? I read what it was about and it didnt sound interesting. When I read what The Gunslinger was about, I picked it up and read it. Theres no doubt in my mind Capote did some clever...

    The Green Knight (2020)

    lol. No. The word you are looking for is Indian, or (to put it in UK terms) ""Asian"" English actors look like Benedictine Cummerbund The role is for a (fictional but this doesnt matter) English Knight from the 6th century or so. Casting an Indian in this role makes exactly as much sense as...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Heres the thing. King wrote about vampires, psychic powers, aliens, and other interesting shit. Capote wrote about family drama and coming of age as a homosexual or some shit. It really doesnt matter how good Capote was at placing commas or using his thesaurus. This just makes King a better...

    The more I've thought about this movie the more I've realized theres something I missed. Not sure I care enough to watch it a second time. Its basic, but oh well. What the fuck happens at the end of each inverted trip? So you're going forward through time, then you enter the turnstile, and...

    Jupiter's Legacy

    as far as I can tell the code is entirely a creation of the show. It seems silly. only speculating, maybe they are doing it to make Walters side more sympathetic, by setting up a conflict where Sheldon's side is clearly wrong.

    Jupiter's Legacy

    Caught up on the comics, which I'd never read. Fun rabbit hole. Except the art in Jupiters Circle I and II was a style I dislike so much I didnt read those. Its funny, they copied visuals from the comics almost exactly in many cases, to a really impressive degree. Costumes, hairstyles, casting...

    Jupiter's Legacy

    This is what makes it work for me. the contrast is obvious when they switch times. otherwise I hate the constant back and forth style so many shows do now. Here, I don't mind at all. And the past story is easily the best part so far.

    Tenet (2020)

    I know, I guess thats the third (or 4th?) one I was referring to. Frustrating because its such a cool idea when you first hear it, then they proceed to beat it to death until it becomes boring and expected by the end. They should have built up to it. This would also have given more time to...

    Finally had a chance to watch this. Really liked it and don't get some of the criticisms here. I will say, the temporal pincer thing seems kinda over used / badly introduced. It seems like the first conflict with inverted bad guys, they introduced the temporal pincer idea. Then at least two...
