I find the fact that the Barbie movie is simultaneously being criticized by the right as “too radical”, and criticized by the left as “too nice to men” and/or “too pandering”, quite funny, given that America’s WHOLE SPEECH was about how, no matter what women (like the director of the Barbie movie) do, it will simultaneously always be too little and too much.

Smallville clark is SO funny he just lies without reason sometimes and he's extremely petty and mean on occasion hes insanely forgiving. he does the bare minimum of hiding his powers, had a crush on the girl who's necklace can kill him, never wears less that 3 layers, literally never explains anything to his friends ever. has only 2 friends who've just accpeted that fact he will disappear with no explanation. he calls his barn roof room the fortess of solitude, he found out he was an alien and sulked in the middle of graveyard at midnight. he's a skeptic who panics at the slightest of evidence. he's a dork. hes fucking terrifying. he was on drugs (red k) for 3 months and did nothing but commit crimes and be a bitch. he blew up his house. he's destroyed so many trucks.he has too much modesty until he's near red k. he once crashed lexs wedding party with lois and exposed him. sometimes he'll just pick lois up and put her down slightly to the left. he wears one fucking jacket. he thinks capes are dumb he basically killed a man in episode 5 of season 1 and it's never brought up again. I'm obessed with him

You know what? I don't even care if Barbie IS a man hating movie. Like it legit is not, I don't think it is a movie about hating men.

But even if it WAS, who cares?!?! How many supposedly great movies hate women? No women, women as sex objects alone, gratuitous nudity, objectification, horrifically graphic rape scenes that women are collectively told that were being too sensitive about. Movies that hate women kill them, beat them, brutalized them in high definition. And barbie is evil bc...Ken's kinda dumb? He doesn't have a job? Or house?

Women fear getting raped and murdered. Men, apparently, fear being ignored and not taken seriously. Like THATS hate to them. Making fun of men who play guitar at us and explain the godfather and Snyder cut to us like we're children (which are universal experiences based on the cackling laughter I heard in the theater) is hate.

It's a movie about women and the experience of girlhood and womanhood and they can't STAND that it's not about them.

now i’m thinking about how men are like “hmm. i don’t get it” in regards to Barbie and how women spend their whole lives listening to men’s stories and learning how to relate to them abstractly because they’re not made for them. now the roles are reversed and instead of men being willing to find themselves in a story about women and motherhood and daughterhood, they shut down because they’re not forced to empathize the way women are.

I get that fandoms always hyperfixate on mediocre men but this is the BARBIE MOVIE why are people more interested in Allan and Ken than the lesbian love story between Barbie and the Mom????????????

The “no kill” rule exists only for the sole purpose of making superheroes fight same villains for eternity. It’s just business. Logically the rule has zero point. How is killing The Joker equals becoming like him if he spends his entire life killing hundreds of innocents for fun? I do agree that in order to present a better example by their deeds, superheroes should avoid killing if it’s not the only one solution to prevent innocents lives to be taken. Heroes shouldn’t aim for a kill as a beforehand intent, but during intense action it can be justified as self protection or means to save innocent lives that were about to be taken. The first is a murder, the other one is a kill. There is a difference.

An essay by Jason Todd

The fact that SAG-AFTRA has concessions in the strike for actors to attend cons for meet-ups/photos.

The rule is that they'd like to keep actors off panels to discuss particular projects because that's promoting stopped work.

But a LOT of actors, especially older actors, characters actors, and voice actors rely on the ability to do photo ops and meet-and-greets with fans for a good chunk of income.

So, good job on that, SAG-AFTRA. That's thinking of the 98% of the union who aren't multi-millionaires.

A friendly reminder: If you are in any way annoyed or upset that the shows you're excited for have had their production halted by the strikes, the ONLY people who deserve your anger are the CEOs and studio executives who forced the workers' hands. These people had no choice but to strike if they want to survive. Getting paid literal pennies in some cases (I have seen residuals as low as a single cent) and being threatened with replacement by an AI that runs on theft and only serves to make assholes a quick buck with bad, mashed-up stolen content while screwing you out of your job does not leave you with a lot of options.

DO NOT blame striking workers for the fact that production of new media is being halted. DO blame the greedy cartoon-villain-ass motherfuckers who essentially forced them to strike.
