"Obtuse", lol oh lordy. Aside, Ive never once based my decision to go see a movie based on the gender or race of the characters. Weird.

Mmmm, the schadenfreude is delicious. I hope they nail him for the tuition.

With the exchange rate in Mexico being 20-1, I dug deep into my pocket and purchase a pair of Oakley sunglasses for 250 peso ($12 US) while I was on vacation. They are totally not a knockoff.

It would look like the EU. A complete soup sandwich.

Finally a break in the heat! The last three days have been 90+ (32C) but some sweet sweet rain is blowing through and the temp has already dropped to 75, on its way to the 60's. Rest of the week looks 70's too.

I suppose it can be interpreted that way. DOOM just so happens to be the topic that was brought up. I'm not bothered by the specifics (sex/race/color/etc.) but more the fact that, imo, you don't have to tear one thing down to build another thing up. What, are we out of superpowers or something? Why wouldn't they develop a whole new character instead?

Well because later it got changed back/to something else? I assume you are referring to Chilloutman link? I didn't watch it so I will concede that but nobody in this thread is losing their bleep. I also didn't watch Gods of Egypt but I feel comfortable that its historical relevance is exactly the same as a super hero movie. Whos even arguing that minorities are "taking the jobs"? That link Im referencing above?

Hmm, this "misunderstanding" seems familiar...who does it remind me of... Anyway, lets move on. Ive been advocating that "new stuff" doesn't have to destroy the canon "old stuff", which seems to garner a collective shrug from people. You provide an example of a movie that was "whitewashed" and I responded with an article about how it was savaged by the public. Do you see the duplicity in public opinion?

ICE won't be a fan of that. Hmm, that makes me wonder, do you have to be a citizen to join the US military? If not, it should reward people with citizenship. Id totally accept a program that turned 4 or more years of service into citizenship. EDIT: Google to the rescue!

A bit STARSHIP TROOPER, innit? Marine Corps will need their own though. Service guarantees citizenship.

^Oh god please let some write in joke candidate win. *fingers crossed*

"Everyone QQ, film studio apologizes". Did you read it or are your responses just going to be constant redirects?

Trump orders creation of a standalone Space Force. Aww yeah!

I can almost see the end now!: The butthurt flowed like spice. Collective shrug? Doesn't seem like it.

So is it still a thing when whitey plays a non-whitey role, or can we just resume shrugging for that too?

Oh crap, they're onto me! *throws smoke bomb and disappears*

Exactly! The phrase is perfect in its ambiguity and ability to be twisted into whatever meaning the current discussion dictates. I don't want you to get into a mental blockade over He-Man. Go with Thor, or Spider Man or whatever. In these cases the original is destroyed in favor of the new flavor. Why is this the solution instead of just making a new character?

Think bigger! Jesus was a Reptiloid and thats why they never found his body in the cave after he "died". He just burrowed back to the center of the Earth.

Wait a darn minute, are you trying to tell me that in 1985 they were able to figure out how to be inclusive without destroying and rewriting the established canon?! I. am. shocked.

Its totally not reverse discrimination, its "punching upward". Or something. Im just waiting to see the reimagining of He-Man.

Well, how about we just use the catch all phrase "spiritual successor", its absolutely meaningless and we can handwave anything as "artist interpretation".

We actually have tiers here; 62 - 70. The longer you wait to collect, the more you get.

The Expanse S3E10 Im fanboying out here but, to me, every episode has been better than the last. It made me lol when the station

Meh, I hope they change the format / writers.

I don't know whether to say HUZZAH! or...dysentery?
