The other one I have is that, in the hands of MOST writers, mutants as allegory for race/sexual orientation/et al. is usually gross and misses the mark completely.

Xavier is a profoundly awful person who uses child soldiers to carry out his misguided and dangerous political ambitions, putting them in danger because of his poor planning and disregard for their wellbeing. Also, he’s a creep.

What's an opinion about X-Men that'll get you sent to jail? Is Jean really interesting or really boring? Should Logan have stayed dead? Do you think a certain x-mens outfit is positively horrendous even though people seem to love it?

The Brood Saga is better than Dark Phoenix imo 🤷

I don’t even like Kirk that much! But I hate the “nobody cares/wants/needs ____” framing so much more when it comes to cultural/media writing and criticism. “Who is this for?” is one of the worst questions you can ask yourself when thinking about why something exists.

I didn’t know I have to “care” about his travel arrangements to not be bothered by them. And, if anything, Herbstreit appearing while making his way to another game kind of makes me appreciate how much that dude loves talking about football, which feels like what we should want from an analyst?

I agree with the idea that Peter Thiel is a profoundly evil and dumb piece of shit that has made life on earth almost immeasurably worse. But let’s not drag the Clan McDuck into this.

Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

Number six is, like, a religious experience in terms of the joy of deliverance you get solely for your faith in a power greater than yourself. Never screamed “hallelujah!” louder in my life to that point.

Are we really in a place where Von Dutch hats are coming back as vintage?

No, *you’re* the one who’s annoyed at the line spacing on the graphics for the Crown Jewel pre-show.

I wish more people on here watched darts, because Gerwyn Price is a Joanne the Scammer level of messy bitch who lives for drama.

Because it’s not rated as highly as it should be?
