Yes but one plays another prominent character and audiences would ask questions too

No they wouldn't. The general audience understands how recasts work.

Yeah, I've enjoyed all the Monsterverse films thus far, so really looking forward to this!

So what were you complaining about?

Yes, I live in Atlanta.

So far the only potential problem I see is this b****

Ah, you're trolling. Good job fooling us.

My first game was with Advanced DnD 2nd Edition back in the late 80s.

On dating apps, it's a good idea to chat for a couple days and then ask for their phone number so you can have a real conversation. After actually talking to them a bit (1-3 days) would be a good time to ask them out.

Clearly Disney is doomed

has me concerned that she and Kira may become the new Crusher and Troi, where they're nearly ignored for most of the season and given less than ideal focus episodes on a very occasional basis.

No need to worry about that. One thing this show does is showcase all it's characters, even ones that you think are merely to the side.

No. She was Greek.

Greek and black aren't mutually exclusive.

Rating V that high is insane but yes, Clubber Lang was great! He was just so disrespectful lol

TheHoldSteady posted...

too much information and people don't know how to sort out the truth from the falsehoods. It's what's crushing us.

That seems more of a problem for older people, not younger.

I'm only 5'9 by the way. I've seen some profiles (honestly, not that many) that say "6'0 and up only" but I'd just swipe left and keep going. I don't think my height ever hindered me in any real way.

I'm the same height and have had the same experience. I've never had an issue finding attractive women who would date me.

Some women do have a height preference but oh well. There's so many women that you don't need to dwell on those. In fact, that's one of the biggest issue single people have: Focusing on who doesn't want you or who you don't want.

Sisko is a Commander, not a Captain as an fyi. Which is a slight I won't get into smh

Pac-Man on the USA Cartoon Express

You should DEFINITELY watch Part 2 before starting DS9. It doesn't really make sense to wait.

bigblu89 posted...

And you're just going to ignore the rest of my post that decimated your platform that "woke" movies aren't successful?

To be fair, he's a pretty obvious troll so it's your fault for continuing to expect a serious answer at this point.

Tom_Joad posted...

Well, good luck with that.

I don't think it'll work, because they're deliberately restricting their viewer-base by doing so.

Well, it's been working out ok so far. Dr. Strange 2 made over $900 million and it tied directly into WandaVision.

Tom_Joad posted...

Marvel movies used to be of the sort where you didn't need to watch their television shows for the movies to make sense.

That's because the previous shows weren't made by Marvel Studios. They've told us a few years ago that the shows and films would more directly connect.

RchHomieQuanChi posted...

The 2nd. She came after Captain Mar-Vell (who was technically in the first movie, but was a woman instead and might as well have been a totally different character)

WandaVision shows her "origin" story but she didn't really take up a superhero persona in that show.

Right, right. I meant the first female CM, my bad.

Tom_Joad posted...

That's nice, but she's got a superhero costume. So... what superhero is she? The trailer makes it seem like we should already know.

Photon/Spectrum. In the comics she was the original Captain Marvel.

Tom_Joad posted...

I'm confused by it. Beyond Ms. Marvel and Captain Marvel, whose the third person?

That's Monica Rambeau, who was a child in the first film. Which I'm sure will be explained in the film for those who missed WandaVision.

Your other questions will also be answered in the movie. That station may actually be a ship or not in Earth's orbit or any other number of things.

Oh I get that. It was just conflating that with trolls changing their time that threw me.

masterpug53 posted...

To the first point, she could use a character makeover, and I'm crossing my fingers this movie will deliver. There's some potential there, but she was just too dry in her first movie + IW / Endgame. Not singling her out, either - MCU Cap wasn't Cap as we know him today until Winter Soldier, and both the character and the franchise as a whole benefitted from it.

To the second, you're right; I think we all know that Brie Larson could spend the first 20 minutes of the movie giving a tearful mea culpa over how badly she offended the moviegoing masses by daring to be outspoken in like two interviews - while also proclaiming the Quartering guy to be sexiest man alive - and it wouldn't make a dent in changing those particular minds.

Pretty much all of this. Although her being "dry" was due to the amnesia angle, so it's understandable for me.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Yes but I'm wondering why you think the trolls would care. You're kind of saying they have a point and, if they changed the character, then the complaints will stop. They won't.

WhisperWolf2005 posted...

People are free to throw away their money

Then it's not a "flop" if they deem it profitable.

WhisperWolf2005 posted...

Oh yea and the most expensive show ever made, Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power had only a 37% viewer completion rate, HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!

https://youtu.be/SjGgXCu6fNQ

This show was so accessible too! You only need an Amazon Prime membership to acces Prime Video and just about everyone on the planet has one of those accounts!!!!

GOD LORD!

Maybe they didnt do enough for the show? Not enough women and minorities? It certainly was not woke!

You should probably pick a show that isn't getting a second season. Because clearly companies throw money at shows that aren't making them any profit lol

WhisperWolf2005 posted...

The latest Disney, Marvel, and DC movies bombed

Avatar flopped? Because that's a VERY "woke" series. How was Ant-Man "woke," exactly?

WhisperWolf2005 posted...

Bud Light campaign flopped

How when their stock had gone up?

Razor posted...

Same thing. You see some 300 pound woman with pink hair screaming about how oppressed she is in AmeriKKKa, we think damn.. she's so woke.

Yes this is exactly the same as simply having an LGBTQ person in a show/movie. Or in beer can or as a mermaid.

Anyone who does see these as the same thing is delusional, at best.

WhisperWolf2005 posted...

So if woke isnt a real term, are companies and products that flopped from woke, did they do so just because of bad luck or something?

Wow. You're sooooo close to getting it...

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

What makes you think she needs fixing or that "anti-woke trolls" truly care?

Unite posted...

What about the certain Disney films not breaking even in theatres?

Like which ones?

Strider102 posted...

Understood, it's been awhile

No problem. He'd actually be a member of the Friends of Humanity, which was a human anti-mutant hate group.

ScazarMeltex posted...

Ehhhh, look I'm not opposed to violence as a political tool, I tend to think that quite often it's the only thing that brings meaningful change, but the Brotherhood were a bit much. Literally genocidal in their early iterations.

Right but that does have anything to do with my point.

Strider102 posted...

Isn't there a Brotherhood of Evil Mutants?

Yes but that wouldn't make sense with your previous post, since they were fighting for mutant rights.

xlr_big-coop posted...

This is how they should focus on things, develop a character and his/her arch before talking about gender/race. I'm not going to show up to a movie just because they pander to my race.

So you've never actually written anything before, have you? Because visualizing your chracters is a pretty important step. Nobody writes an entire plot/character arc before even knowing what the character looks like.

InfinityMonster posted...

I think the issue with this season is that there is obviously some type of friction going on with Kennedy and Favreau.

While these are still rumors, Favreau feels like he wants to fix the ST with his stuff. Kennedy seems to just want the gravy train going and insisted Grogu returned for 3 instead of taking it off training with Luke. Again, these are rumors and nothing confirmed.

I feel like the Mandalorian doesn't really work without Grogu. So I kinda agree with her, even if he's been mostly useless this season.

I wouldn't put too much stock in those rumors. They've been around the same circles saying KK is going to be fired or they're erasing the ST.

Ivynn posted...

But sexy character designs isn't consent? Even when women draw them? Like I get unrealistic beauty standards are harmful, but I don't think completely getting rid of attractive women in media is an answer either. There's room for both Aloys and Tifas lol

I think you're missing what the actual complaints are about when it comes to things like this.

Ivynn posted...

Trust me, I'm not one of those people, but it's still noticeable. >_> The biggest example would be the new puritanism of "sexy = bad". But whereas the prudes of old wanted to censor that because "it was against God" the new ones are against because "male gaze is bad". I guess I still remember the days where there was a nice middle ground. "Sexy is good! But not a person's entire worth" nah mean?

How is that an example when you can still see "sexy" women half-dressed all the time? So nothing's actually been lost.

Axiom posted...

Yup. Malcom x and the black Panthers were instrumental whether people like it or not

Exactly.

WBC_Injury posted...

Those protests were only considered violent because the police were literally spraying people with firehoses.

It's the same shit that happens today where people blame protesters when it's the police who are inciting the violence.

No, I'm referring to actual riots and calls to arm ourselves/fight back. Change didn't occur via purely peaceful protests, as you insinuated.

WBC_Injury posted...

The most progress we ever made towards civil rights was off the back of peaceful protests, yes.

This is a half-truth. Those "peaceful protests" were as effective as they were thanks to the other (violent) protests happening at the same time.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Oh ok. Then you really didn't need to ask the question lol you were going to finish regardless.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

You don't really need to watch Boba Fett for Mando Season 3. The only relevant thing is something you can read about or watch a simple clip of.

Razor posted...

That's a good point. They didn't used to lecture people about white privilege so blatantly though. A little subtlety goes a long way.

They literally talked about privilege in the very famous Hard Travelling Heroes storyline from the 80s. It's really not new.

Sure. I love that show.
