Life is a highway and I don't know how to drive

@StriderReborn @jinxapoIogist Why would anyone be saying "wow I can't believe a man wrote this" about a movie written and directed by women

[masonified @masonified1]

@crownedinash @girlpaladins The "core 5" is taken from an extremely early outline George tossed out just to give his publishers an idea of what he was thinking. Arya was always planned to be a main character whereas Sansa gained a more prominent role in the process of the writing

@HaarisK3 @kryptoniqn Bulletproof's positive qualities are that in between being a dick, he fights crime and helps guard the globe. He's a sleazeball with a traumatic past and didn't intentionally kill his parents. Rex was also a douchebag cheater. You can argue Bulletproof sucks but he's not evil

@HaarisK3 @kryptoniqn Bolt and Darkwing II are black heroes. Lucan is by far the least problematic Viltrumite. Angstrom Levy was a decent man who lost his sanity because of a machine malfunctioning. Mark's principal and later college dean Winslow is just a totally normal good guy

[masonified @masonified1]

@HaarisK3 @kryptoniqn There are several other black superheroes who are portrayed totally positively, plus one who starts on the villain faction and is fully redeemed. It's okay to have one black character just be kind of a dick

@toniotrendyfan @BrianOKane87916 @VashKohime Do you seriously think Robert Kirkman is in charge of the budget and where its allocated? Amazon are going to give them as much or as little as they want

[masonified @masonified1]

@Archile @ThatComicFan3 Those stories are centred around particular places. Invincible is a massive superhero saga with hundreds of characters from across the globe, obviously it makes more sense for there to be a wide variety of characters in that compared to a story about a specific community

@iggy1296 @ohnoconsequence You're taking it too literally. The point is Jon had a skewed view of how he was raised. He felt like he had it rough and the world was against him, and then grew to realise he still had it better than the vast majority of people

[masonified @masonified1]

@NoirSaladin @EamoArt @NirvanaM1nd Why would he represent that any more than the half dozen other significant black characters who are nothing like him?

[masonified @masonified1]

@aGuyOnMyPhone @sunfyred Before Clash he's a prince, but still a kid. Once Robert's dead, he's a king and suddenly everyone is doing whatever he tells them. Power corrupts, and he barely needed corrupting in the first place. He sees no need to put on an act past that point

@helenawsparta @vampnyra She constantly sleeps with men, genuinely what do you mean

[masonified @masonified1]

@EmmaFrostsPuppy @hollanovvs That's fine in your own private stuff, but when people put work out there to be read, it's not going to look nicer to anyone else

[masonified @masonified1]

@NeogiClaws @kellyqute Then you can very easily ignore it and move on with your day. People who care about improving their writing should be allowed to grow without having basic advice being policed

[masonified @masonified1]

@Daistis @alenkahenry @hollanovvs Functionally though it's not any different from a misspelling. Any error that unintentionally changes the flow of the writing kills your immersion, it's distracting

[masonified @masonified1]

@NotDocMartin43 @ReysukaXO It was retconned in the sequel book that T rexes actually do have good vision, and Grant and the kids only survived in that moment because it had already been fed recently and had other priorities

[masonified @masonified1]

@schyldt @SierraStriker @ReysukaXO The information came out very soon after the original book, and the sequel book immediately changed it to fit the new science

[masonified @masonified1]

@OpenEyed_1 @coopercooperco He didn't say Dance was done, he just wildly underestimated how long it was going to take him

@moniza_hossain @juliardguezz48 @90sgoldblum I'm not saying a miniseries wouldn't work, it would suit the material fine. I'm just pointing out that two-part movies aren't at all that unreasonable an option either

[masonified @masonified1]

@moniza_hossain @juliardguezz48 @90sgoldblum Sure, but every story ever written works better in totality than split up. Two-parters should be used for books so dense that one film just isn't a reasonable option. In this case you literally have a generational time gap to play with, when most part 2s follow on immediately

[masonified @masonified1]

@juliardguezz48 @moniza_hossain @90sgoldblum I would say Wuthering Heights actually has a better structure for a two-parter than Dune though. Most adaptations already only cover the first half, but there's an effective halfway point in WH at least
