I think the point she was making was less that plot structure (and worrying about plot structure) isn't important, and more that it's not the only thing that matters, and if you make other parts of the movie weaker in service of patching up perceived problems in the plot structure, you'd...

I'm of the opinion that they should make "Deadpool 3" to merge the universes together in the most tongue-in-cheek, fanservice-y way possible. There's basically no way you can do a "Crisis on Infinite Earths"-type reality-merging storyline without it getting meta, and those kinds of stories tend...

I don't inherently disagree with the sentiment. I do think productive right-wing viewpoints are rarely given visibility in media, partially because of the left-leaning of the media landscape in general, but largely because conservatives seem to prefer not to express said viewpoints (at least...

I... Wait a minute. You've been a member since 2009? And you decided that THIS was the moment to finally post your first reply on the forums? After five years, you break your silence just to make a sarcastic put-down against a random video about Howard the Duck? Damn. I'm actually kind of...

Wait, the Ravagers are a Marvel staple? I thought they were an invention of the movie...

Sadly, I'm pretty sure that Uatu the Watcher is tied up in the Fantastic Four movie rights. I guess they could pull the gag in the next Fantastic Four movie, but given how they're aiming to establish a new continuity that supposedly also ties in with the soft-rebooted X-Men continuity, I doubt...

Agreed. Marvel/Disney seems keen on doing the costume thing when it makes sense, but if they would have to shoe-horn it in, they'd rather not bother. Why would Blackout have an outfit in this situation? It just wouldn't make sense. Iron Man obviously has an outfit because it's the source of his...

A lot of people are talking about how the prophecy does technically come true in the long run, but that still serves to drive the same point Bob is talking about. All the Jedi that serve the prophecy do so because they assume in their complete arrogance that "bring balance to the Force" means...

Very good episode. However, I think the problem was less about fear and more about greed. Yeah, JRPGs and survival horror and other such "niche" markets never really stopped being successful, but the problem was that executives at Square-Enix and Capcom and Konami, etc. all saw "Halo" and...

I imagine there are two reasons. 1) GotG currently has a lot of buzz and making a video about it could possibly result in a decent amount of hits. 2) Bob probably really wants this movie to succeed and since most people don't know what the Hell this movie even is, he knows there's a fair...

I think the reason people miss that "Fight Club" is about a condemnation of Tyler Durden is because most of the parts of the movie that carry any resonance are the things that Tyler Durden says and does. The movie sets out to make Tyler's philosophy seem attractive to help the audience...

I think intention is important, but only to a certain extent. I believe that there is nothing wrong with pointing out something as sexist or misogynistic as a valid criticism of a product just as it would be valid to say that a game is boring. Neither might have been the intention of the...

This is true, but it's about more than hurt feelings. Yes, white men have our own share of issues, but first off, it's important to understand that a great deal of them stem from oppression and prejudices for other people. For example, it's unusual for a man to be a housekeeper because it is a...

Hence what makes this a debate, and more importantly, a subject worth debating. This is not the sort of thing someone can easily gather information about, particularly accurate information. While I could cite articles from scientists and sociologists etc., any information they provide is subject...
