Re: Lack of masculine and masculine sounding and acting good guys on DISCO

I mean, that is toxic masculinity, isn't it? That's seriously underestimating women. Women can be just as vicious, strong, and violent as any man. And it inherently assumes a woman looking stronger than men on screen is bad. Does he seem like someone with that level of self awareness? OK, boys. Let...

Re: Lack of masculine and masculine sounding and acting good guys on DISCO

I don't need a peacock strutting around slapping everything his massive dick all full of toxic masculinity to enjoy Star Trek. Do you mean someone like Riker or Kirk, who has an obvious eye for the ladies? I mean, that sucks, but... I don't really care. It shouldn't be a deal-breaker for a story. E...

Re: Big Bang Finale

It was perfectly fine, about what you would expect from a sitcom ending. The only real complaint is that there isn't any closure for Raj.

Re: A Moment of Pandering in TLJ that bugs me

"At the Height of their powers they allowed Darth Sidious to rise to power, create the Empire and wipe them out." That's not making fun of the prequels. That's just an accurate description of the plot/theme of those movies. That's just what they were about. I mean, we were supposed to come out of th...

Re: Yet Another Last Jedi Review

Love the use of "Ma-Rey Sue." Though I'm curious if these people would apply Mary Sue to where it belongs when it's a male character? Because I've seen some male Mary Sues. No, because otherwise Luke and especially Anakin would qualify. Luke and Anakin are not Stu's. A) They both earned their abili...
