Somehow I don't think the writers got together and said "Hey, let's kill all the black folks!"
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
No, they never do.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
On one hand, a single black father who chooses his child over himself. On the other hand, do you really want that shot of three black people being left behind in the Nazi-run dystopia?
Right? And like I said, Mac might still make it back. Someone's going in after Fitz, after all.
Somehow I don't think the writers got together and said "Hey, let's kill all the black folks!"
Strawman.
They also didn't get together and say "Hey guys, we just killed all the black folks - maybe we should rethink this."

I'm pretty confident that Mac will make it back.
In other news, this is not a good look for the Inhumans.
The showrunner for Inhumans is the same guy who made Iron Fist, which should tell you all you need to know.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

I'm pretty sure I've seen better Medusas at comic book conventions.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Which makes it all the more shitty that we've apparently lost both Tripp AND Mac to the Framework - we've brought in every real-world social justice movement except Black Lives Matter? Fuck. That.
Right.

GotG2: Not quite as good as the first, but only by a small degree. There's not a whole lot wrong with this to complain about.
Will probably see it again in the theatre, just to take in the visuals and look for easter eggs.

Also: the best performance in the film was Karen Gillan.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
She acted Emma Watson off the screen in "The Circle."
