First, R.I.P Hugo Chavez. Only the Good Die Young.

Second, Man U was robbed yesterday. Red Card my @ss not to mention all those no calls Welbeck was getting mugged and Real Madrid got away with several "accidental" handballs but if intent does not matter for Nani then it should not matter for Ramos either.

True though I argue the main example of him being a racist is him doing everything possible to keep John Stewart down. Geoff strikes me as fine with POC characters as long as they stay in their place and don't challenge the white lead for dominance, popularity, etc...if they do well got to be destroyed. 

Cass once vowed to and attempted to kill Deathstroke. She met Damien before her 52 reboot and looked after him and even saved him. Funny Cass has always believed people could change even people who killed or did terrible things. She fought them but never hated them. She had a sister who killed that she didn't hate. Maybe Cass fans should learn to be more like her and accept that she isn't filled with the hate they think she is.

As long as Jason doesn't change.

He's tried, and failed, several times already.

Which is why there is conflict inherent in their interactions.

It's not hate, true.

But it's sure as hell isn't tolerance or something she'd let slide.

Nor is it something she'd abide.

She'd work to stop them, convince them to stop.

So, as long as that's the status quo, it is logical for her to dunk on him pretty hard.

Continuously.

LIES I SAY LIES....BOTS...TROLLS...THERE IS NO FIRE TLJ >>> ESB

It doesn't mean anything Jumanji has bankable stars and thus no one could expect TLJ to win in its 4th week, you know despite LF forcing theatres into draconian rules. 

Ah ha ha ha ha

JJ is the lesser of two evils that is all it is. Although I should note the coma was RJ request so that is not on JJ but of course JJ had plenty of issues all his own doing. However, at least JJ wasn't an apologist for Kylo. But yeah the only POC with any power seems to be Pablo Hidalgo incidentally he was also unlike KK and RJ not making every excuse under the sun for Kylo. Make of it what you will. 

I don't understand why some fans think JJ Abrams will save Finn's arc when this man also made Finn be attacked during the entire movie, be a red herring and end the movie in a coma. The entire lucasfilm is guilty in this, they need more black artists to work in their movies or black characters will always be treat like this

the lesser of two evils. while JJ had many many flaws, he also gave us a great character in Finn and all those FS clues etc etc. rian doesnt even have one redeeming quality going for him. so when its rian vs. jj - of course everyone wants jj back. but ur point still stands. there needs to be more black people behind the camera.

Trial

I am not sure what is worse the verdict or not being surprised at all that this verdict happened in AmeriKKKa. And yet Racism is dead and Reverse Racism against White People is worse then that against actual POC.

Poor Jhoira bumped off the pack for some Aven and a Benalish Knight? No Spark, No Packet Apparently. Teferi is back and Karn looks like Thanos.

I second this just tough it out people. I already saw a Spanish version linked online so if you can understand Spanish you can watch that everyone else can just wait a few days and torrent it.

ill say if ur like me and havent watched the movie and are on the fence about watching it even tho ur thinking “ya i hate it but i miss finn and poe”… i get you, i understand you, but please try and not watch it. you know at the end of the day what hurts disney is their bottom line (and their reputation but less so). at the very least tell ur friends and family who are casual (or not at all) fans of star wars to not see the movie. dont buy their merch. dont support them at all. we want them to know that no one liked this film. no one was interested in watching this racist bs and the only language they speak is $$$ so hit them where it hurts.

All must be sacrificed for Kylo Ren.

tlj is nothing short of character assassination for almost every single character.

I am not surprised as far as I can tell RJ went Full EU in that he might be approaching the first Clone Wars Cartoon and StarKiller from Force Unleashed power levels. Basically, the POC are filler not just because their little side plot seems to have no major influence on the plot the First Order seems to win easily.

However, in choosing to dive so deep into Force Mythology and awesome Force powers, anyone without said powers is simply left in the dust. This is basically the EU towards the end with the exception of  mostly Han with Boba Fett and Lando to a lesser extent who survived off being Legacy from the OT. Ergo because RJ decided to keep the Force White and couldn't be bothered to come up with a compelling side plot. Well its no wonder there is a few mentions of Finn, a couple more about Rose and none about Poe. Nothing they do is plot relevant and any action scenes they get are easily overshadowed but what sounds like God Level Force Users. Who wants to watch Finn vs Phasma in the B-Plot when it has no emotional resonance and doesn't even look as cool as the Force Fights?  Even with a compelling side plot and no Force in something this Force Centric it would be hard but with a boring side plot, its impossible. B-Plot is there to move the plot forward and break up the Force Beats only. The Force Plot always tend to overshadow the non Force Plot. RJ seemingly did zilch to prevent it and probably didn't even care. Slapped Rose in for some diversity points, tossed Finn the bone of beating Phasma and probably gave Poe some nice space scenes. Called it a day. 

Look, if people had come out of this movie saying Finn is amazing and mentioned the Finnrey reunion, and talked about the diversity, and made clear statements that Kylo remains the villain and about how kick ass feminist things are, I would be able to stomach Rey random. Not the way things seem now.
