@ScubaMySteve The Expanse was a welcome relief. All the planets were earth-like, but the "monkey lizards" farted mustard gas that the plants needed to grow, or something, because they understood basic molecular biology and how things could be different.
No, this is about control. It's the same sneaky BS as the wealth tax. You don't want people to maintain majority control of their own creations. You want to punish the most successful people, because you and those that follow you are jealous and delusional.
If you want the USA to have an stake in these companies, start a sovereign wealth fund and participate in the same free market as the rest of the world.
@ThePrimeagen Just don't forget this line:

Assuming those aren't poachers, that lion was likely a rogue male that was causing problems for the other prides and wildlife, or was interfering with humans.
Safari Trophy hunting has two parts:
1. Removing problem animals
2. Funding conservation efforts
And with animals like Deer or Elk, you are making up for the reality that the first thing humans do when they move somewhere is kill all the top predators that had co-evolved breeding rates with their prey to maintain a stable ecosystem. If we stop hunting deer, and don't invite wolves to live next door to where our children play, the deer will eat everything they can reach.

We don't want X's take on Y's IP. We want Y's take (or closest approximation) on Y's IP in a different medium in the same fictional continuity.
@SheevPalpa18059@TheCriticalDri2 You are correct. Listened to ~6 chapters on a road trip with someone who liked it. Never picked it up for myself.
It hides behind "The aliens scraped all their information about humans from The Internet" so everything reads like it's from the mouth of a redditor.
@BigApeBooks@TheCriticalDri2 DCC lost me with the incel goblin, after a bunch of very millennial current-dayisms. Sign of a mentality I don't want to engage with, as a millennial.
Not surprised to see him heel-turn against Drinker.
Thankfully someone else was showing it to me, so I didn't waste money.
@TheCriticalDri2 Lets take a look back at 2021 when that book was written. What was Drinker doing?
Dunking on TLJ
Dunking on Captain Marvel
Dunking on the other girl-boss movies
Going on "that toxic chud podcast" EFAP regularly
Doesn't seem like things have changed much with Drinker.
We know the movie is going to be bad.

So they go on a misogyny/bigotry tour so they have an excuse for the investors...

#Supergirl star Milly Alcock knows she'll face backlash by "simply existing as a woman in [franchise IP]."
"We have become very comfortable having this weird ownership of women’s bodies. I can’t really stop them. I can only be myself."
