if you're ever wondering what popular media is getting wrong about basically any premodern society, the answer is that there are never enough lawsuits

there's a common idea that in the olden days all disputes were resolved through violence, but even in settings where that was true, people would still sue each other about it.

Thinking about it more, these people are kids. Marching band kids who could never grow up. Incredibly toxic

I love audio dramas so much. What do you mean I can go on a 3 hour aimless walk, look at trees and birds and listen to stories about how wonderful and vast and scary the world is at any time. It's the best. Nothing makes me happier. How lucky am I.

not to shit on zack snyder again but it's really funny that he tried to make a big, grand, complex moral quandary on where superman should stand when he saves people around the world and then james gunn is like "he wants to do it because he thinks it's the right thing to do". sometimes going simpler means you get to the crux of what the character is all about much more efficiently. like wow it's really that easy

we still haven't seen much of gunn's version of clark but him screaming "people were going to DIE" in extreme frustration over pedestrian political nonsense (by no fault of lois' own, btw, it's just prepping him up for the inevitable placating everyone in power will want him to do) already gives us a much clearer vision for his character than what snyder did in 3 movies

Oh my God is lex luthor an effective altruist or something? That'd be perfect

So in the 1975 version of the Stepford Wives, it’s canon that the lead guy worked on the Hall of Presidents. Just imagine being a Disney nerd in the 70’s and learning one of the imagineers was replacing dudes’ wives with robots. Of course it’s fucked up, but I’d be more disappointed that the animatronics in the park aren’t the same quality.

I don't know how I feel about a bot liking this post lol
