White people are born and live in Africa, so there is no difference.

wildly_fanciful_statement.

How many times is Charlize Theron referred to as African-American in mainstream press articles?

Just because she is one doesn't mean the phrase carries the same cultural nuance when applied to her.

Black Panther needs to be portrayed by a black actor; however, Superman or Flash (or Nick Fury) do not need to be portrayed by white actors.

Similarly, Danny Rand needs to be white; were he portrayed by a Chinese actor, the character loses a fundamental aspect of his character.

Where are you or any other moderators when its the same problematic board members over and over again?  Sent you a DM a while back and never received a response.

So you vehemently object to Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Will Smith as Deadshot, Jessica Alba as Sue Storm, Keanu Reeves as Constantine?

Or that the Battlestar Galactica reboot had the audacity to make Starbuck a woman?

I think that miscasting dishonors the source material across the board. Cherry-picking characters would be biased. 2c

I don't answer questions about how other people are moderated.  I suggest using the ignore function.  The current path will lead to time off.  

The ignore option is not helpful when other people quote the person you ignored and you have to continue to see their ignorance.

I don't object to any of those.  Did you misquote me?  I agree with your last couple of posts and I was talking about the other problematic member.

Good for Kathryn Hahn. But I think the Queen's Gambit actress did a much better performance than Olsen.  

 

MTV..... :roflmao:

Throwing out my predilection for superheroes, The Queens's Gambit was easily one of the best shows I have watched in the past year.

Ditto.

My top 5 - in order:

1) The Queen's Gambit

2) Mare of Easttown

3) The Queen - Season 4

4) WandaVision

5) Riverdale, Season 1 (played catch up during quarantine, but that show was *far* better than it had any right to be)

I know this is very old and harkens back to episode 2 of this show. I know it was a massive nod to Bewitched, but the charity magic show, and the "drunk" magician was actually taken directly from an early episode called It's Magic (s01e16).  I was a massive fan as a kid despite it being before my time, but just stumbled on it in my recent boredom.  

 

I know old news, maybe already mentioned, but fun.

Throughout the nine episodes of WandaVision, Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) kept an entire town of New Jersey residents under her sway. Within "The Hex" she established around Westview, the Scarlet Witch served as the puppet master to hundreds, if not thousands, of residents. Olsen herself says the character's actions were criminal, and she'll most certainly be on the run by the time we see her next.

 

"Like, she just did something that makes her a criminal. So, in my mind, the next step in her life is this new sense of identity, of knowing the acts that she committed and her own accountability of it," Olsen said on the latest episode of Vanity Fair's Little Gold Men podcast.

 

That's when the actor added that she feels like she needs to be on the run, thanks to the involvement of SWORD and other governmental agencies.

 

"All these big trucks are coming in and all these military men and women are coming into assess the situation, and she flies away," Olsen continued. "Like, she needs to escape, or she's going to get in trouble, and she doesn't wanna get in trouble. And so she went away with her grief and her shame and is now... I didn't think of her as... I don't think of her being in that home in the tag, she is at peace but she now, for the rest of her life, hiding."

She should be considered public enemy number one in the MCU. She is a mass slaver, kidnapper, rapist, and now fugitive. She should be in the Raft for the remainder of her days.

Great - except for the last episode. All the 'feelings' stuff ruined it.

Could have all been tied up in the episode before.

 

Besides that - top class show.
