  1. That's my point. Let's drive it on further. They managed to find a Native American deaf amputee to play Echo. The right actors exist. You just need to be willing to cast them. Finding them is easy. Hell, they found the right person for Iron Fist and just choose not to. Lewis Tan was up for the role, but they decided they wanted a white dude.
  2. Finn Jones is a fine actor. This is Marvel TV. It's not high art or anything. I get that the first season was short on time, but everything outside of the occasional dramatic bit did not work. Let's not even talk about being able to sell a punch. The series was seemingly built around his inability to look like a great martial artist. I get that you can't expect that from every actor, but Netflix also had the ability to cast any actor for the role. I would gladly take less great drama chops for an actor that can actually sell a kick. He only ever worked for me when he was playing along side one of the other leads, like in Defenders...only that cross over series was pretty bland in its own right. His best chance would have been in a potential Heroes for Hire series, but that's another one of the dustbin series we never got. I gave up on Iron Fist like half way into season 2. I'm reading a quick synopsis of the first half of season 2 right now to try and refresh my memory, and I ask don't remember any of it.
  3. For the most part, I think Netflix did an amazing job with casting...outside of Finn Jones. He was awful. A lot of Iron First casting missed for me, but I guess that's what happens when a racist dude is in charge of a series that borrows a heaping ton from various Asian cultures. The only one that can come back from that series is Jessica Henwick, but I do believe it saw that she and Mike Colter turned down coming back to the MCU. Still kind of salty Netflix didn't last long enough to give us that Daughters of the Dragon series.
  4. "I gave my 10yo a gun for Christmas. I shouldn't get in trouble if he shoots my neighbor."
  5. The biggest question is if the school had the right to search his bag after his behavior was deemed troubling. If they did and they chose not to then they're partially culpable. Even then, I remember from my school days way back when, locker searches were allowed, but bag checks weren't. However, you had to volunteer a bag check on entering the school or else you'd be turned away at the door (I was in high school during the height of gang violence in the drug hub of New England). School officials could have coerced a bag check while his parents were there or just send him home for the psych eval had he refused.
  6. Have to add Massachusetts to that map. First case of omicron variant detected in Massachusetts, DPH says WWW.WCVB.COM The state's Department of Public Health says the case involves a woman in her 20s who lives in Middlesex County.
  7. Love it when someone quotes an autocorrect typo you were too lazy to notice. Also, yes. I would totally watch a big, Eric sequel. That said, Sony is making the right call, financially. More show times and there's no easy way to get kids to sit through a 2.5-3 hour movie. That's a big ask. That said, this will likely be the first movie we bring my oldest to see in theaters.
  8. Yup, with the second presumably coming in 2023. We're probably looking at two ~90 minute movies because Sony wasn't keen on releasing a 2.5-3 hour animated feature. Yeah, it seemed like he was ready to fuck with the multiverse. I always assumed he'd have a major role in the movie. I wonder what other Spider-People we're getting. Issa Rae is supposed to be playing Spider-Woman. This movie is going to be fun.
  9. Completely unrelated. That's more caused by a simple raw material and capacity shortage. More and more silicon is getting sold every day, capacity isn't keeping up, and COVID continues to fuck with the supply chain at every level. Either way, I approve. ARM should not be owned by anyone selling their own chips.
  10. I might be biased, but the first ones that come to mind is everytime police beat or taze autistic kids. Like that time police tazed and arrested an 11yo, nonverbal, autistic girl walking along the side of a highway, naked. No video of that one, but there is video of that cop that tackled and arrested another 11yo girl because she refused his order to wait inside the school for her parents after she got in trouble for grabbing a second milk carton during lunch. That first one his really close to home. I've mentioned I have a nonverbal, autistic daughter, but that's basically her. She wouldn't understand a cop's order. In the event it was simple enough and she did, she would right piss that cop off. Autistic kids don't process things the same way we do. If I catch my daughter climbing, say, a fence. She'd understand it if I told her to get down. However, there is no implicit understanding that I don't want her climbing the fence. That means that as soon as she gets down, she gets back to climbing right away. She did the thing I asked her to do, but to her that has nothing to do with her desire to climb the fence. I can tell her to get down 20 times, and she'll get right back up 20 times. However, get down and stay down it's too complicated for her.
  11. They deserve it. Chilling Videos, Journal Found as Parents Face Scrutiny in Michigan School Shooting WWW.THEDAILYBEAST.COM Ethan Crumbley, 15, had displayed “behavior in the classroom” that school officials “felt was concerning.” Open letter to Trump thanking him for saving the second amendment. That worked out well.
  12. I doubt a woman being arrested will galvanize anyone. Just wait until we have a Republican back in the White House and they start arresting doctors for performing abortions, even in blue states.
  13. They've already given themselves an out. If Twitter decides something didn't add value to the public discourse because some random right wing ghouls are throwing a fit, then down it comes. It's not good enough to come from public figures or members of the media. This will be the same as when Twitter announced it would ban people for death threats because threats of violence is already against their ToS, but then only enforced for Trump.
  14. I didn't know it was possible to make a videogame car feel like a death trap. If anyone wants to know what that feels like, dump $100k worth of upgrades into an Isetta.
  15. Didn't they have a handful of accidental discharges on set prior to this one? I feel like I've asked that question more than once, but I'm too lazy to go back and check.
  16. Ah, yeah, I'm pretty sure you can skip going 100% on normal if you're planning to do so on hard.
  17. Should be held just as responsible. At the very least, be should be on the hook for all the medical expenses. Can't afford it? Too bad. All these other families are going to deal with huge hospital bills because this guy was cool with making the gun available to his kid.
