I was a little bit offended on her behalf when I heard it in our news this morning and they were all "oh, she got famous with Murder, She Wrote, but she also did some movies and was at the broadway"....yeah, no, Murder, She Wrote got lucky to get someone as amazing as her. And "Some movies"? A lot of her roles are iconic, even the ones, where she just lend her voice!

The whole thing is so strange to me...in a lot of countries there is a "children collect sweets" tradition, but the US is the only one I know where sweets are x-rayed for razor blades and similar nonsense.

Even those were about parts of the story which weren't really covered all that well.

LWT tonight is about pointing to stuff only a few people are talking about, not about stuff which is all over the news.

Na, it doesn't, because they basically repeat the same arc they already had in WandaVision, but worse.

Eh, I think in this case its not the LWT effect, the whole thing was doomed the moment it disrupted the markets that badly.

....Who cares about Corbyn? If they hadn't voted for Brexit, Truss wouldn't get away with half of the sh.... she is pulling. Nor would have Johnson.... And are you honestly claiming that Greece "didn't exist" back then? Yeah, let's just pretend a culture just vanishes because it is swallowed up by a conqueror for a time. Honestly, that the Greeks had no say in what happened makes the whole thing even worse, not better.

Frankly, the Brits got what they deserved. That's what they were voting for, and when they were warned that "cutting red tape" is just another phrase for "removing protections" they put their fingers in their ears and screamed "Project Fear". Regarding the treasures: There are a couple of claims which are simply BS, like Italy wanting the Mona Lisa back, but most of them are pretty legit. And frankly, if the countries which own those treasures want to destroy them, it is their right - THEY are the owners, period. We can discuss those which were actually sold legally, but not the ones which were stolen for sure.

Yes, they totally would. Trump was just part of a larger Trend, he didn't exactly start it. If anyone might have started it, it might have been the guy with the troll fabrics, but even he only stroked what was already there.

The others weren't part of the title of a movie.

Won't happen. Walmart's business model is to underbid the rivals (sometimes even to a level that they make losses for a while), and once they are gone, they hike up the prices. At best Aldi or Lidl might manage with their low overhead costs policies.

Is it bad that I can't remember what was actually said about Chile other than it being somehow related to its constitution? I am sure it was important, but the tiny superman was just so distracting.... The death of the Queen is mostly interesting because the UK is in uproar pretty much since Brexit (though the policies which lead to it go back to at least Thatcher), and not it has lost another pillar. Not to mention that it is very likely that the commonwealth will now fall apart. But yeah, he is right, it is basically an old women dying peacefully after a fulfilled time. Law and Order is just another show which provide copaganda, but the idea that cops actually take their cue from it is nearly as terrifying as the fact that some of them are fans of the Punisher. A TV show can't replace proper training. May I point to the genius of "bananaphylactic schock"?

Frankly, I can't stand the Red Guardian. There is nothing charming about a guy who sells two little girls into slavery.

Eh, he was kind of forgiving towards Walker towards the end of the show. I just take any Bucky I can get. I just hope that he doesn't got shoved aside in favour of other characters jet again.

...frankly, Bucky/Yelena would be a weird paring for me. Because in my mind, they belong to different generations. That is naturally in a way nonsense, age-wise they are not that far apart, but still, Yelena belongs to the new and Bucky more to the old guard. Plus, why the hell do we need to obsessively pair up all the female characters?

Seeing this list, I am so glad for the children of my country that over here, there are actually restrictions on what you can name your child. I mean, Belle would naturally be allowed, but Thanos, yeah, I doubt it.

After what they did to Natasha and Wanda - nope, no trust at all. Not to mention the shameful way they treated Sif.

Well, I hope they might introduce Songbird, too....

Frankly, the first client Jennifer should defend is herself, from discrimination. I mean, she got fired because she is a Hulk, didn't get hired because she is a Hulk and now only has a job if she Hulks out, never mind if she is uncomfortable with it. Also, I am really glad that I waited and watched the first two episodes as a package. Because together they felt like an extended prologue, and now the actual story can start.

Nobody would obsess over the question with a women, because with fictional women, virginity is the default state in the mind of a lot of people.

Yeah, I suspected that Carbon Off-sets are basically just another cheat. But it was nice to have it laid out again.

Sniff... but very appropiate.

At the very least they should have organised the retreat better.

In reality the wizards (meaning the people who have the better weapons) nearly always win.

Exactly. As I pointed out above, the Mutants are actually not a particularly good allegory for oppressed people because unlike oppressed people they are pretty powerful. They are basically the wizards to the worlds muggles, and the power balance is overall pretty clear. At the end of the day, we always end up having Mutants fight against other Mutants about the question if it is a good idea to kill the Muggles because they decide it is better to kill off or control the wizards before they decide to kill the Muggles (or accidentally kill them off in one of their wars). But Black Panther actually managed to address exactly the same themes the Mutants always address without this problem - and a way better real life tie.
