Not to be that person, but if Stranger Things ends up with Steve and Nancy getting back together, either Will or Robin dead, no ronance, no steddie, no byler, nothing beyond ‘up to interpretation’ of Will’s sexuality, Mike and El happy together... I don’t know, as a queer person, I will be upset.

I just saw the new Our Flag Means Death trailer and I love it
But is this season approved by the SAG-ATFRA? Cause I didn't see it on the approved list of shows. But also if I watch it am I crossing a picket line?
I will admit I can't say I understand 100% of what's happening so I'd appreciate some help rip

I know I'm just preaching to the choir here, but this article from Vanity Fair on the guests at their party really pisses me off:
"Danny DeVito from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, one of the longest-running shows on television. Other guests in attendance included...Charlie Day"
Right, Charlie Day, as in, one of the creators, executive producers, writers, and lead actors of said longest-running show on television. Why is he othered when the article directly names his show and co-star? Why is Sunny an accomplishment when it's tied to Danny DeVito but not worth the breath when it's connected to Charlie (or Glenn, or Rob)?
I get the show is never going to be appreciated by those who vote for these kinds of awards, I know RCG get that, but come-fucking-on with this shit. You're going to bolster the fact that a prestigious star attended your party by citing a contingent achievement the show he's on has, but you're going to shove one of the creators of that show into the 'other' category in the same fucking paragraph?
What's the point of that, other than to lessen (R)C(G)'s connection to the accomplishment that you can claim prestigious actor Danny DeVito is apart of? Keep them unknown, keep them nobodies not worthy of highlighting in your article. We have evidence Rob and Glenn were at that party, don't we? Not even named at all, not even an "other".

would Tom Cruise be a good Tony Stark
Well damn, Anii. You've asked me The Question. Right to the chase. And you didn't even buy me dinner first.
To put it bluntly, no. This is no criticism to TC's acting chops of course, the thing just is, Tony Stark is an incredibly, extremely, tremendously difficult character to play.
The reason being, Tony Stark can VERY EASILY become an unlikeable, hard to empathize with character. (It's the point of why he was created - look it up, it's fascinating. He was an experiment meant to make an unlikeable character likeable). This is mostly due to his cocky outer persona. There's an inner kindness and empathy to him that's VITAL to his character. And if the audience can't see that in him, they won't be able to connect with him.
RDJ is so perfect for the role because he is so similar to Tony Stark in so many ways. He had a redemption story that mirrored the character's, so he was able to empathize. He also operates in a very similar way to Tony. He's very charismatic and sharp, but he's genuinely a kind human being.
It's much easier to play a character that's very similar to who you are as a person. So for a character that's as hard to play as Tony Stark, it fits to cast someone who has had a similar experience.
I don't doubt Tom Cruise's ability to look inside a character and give them a heart and an inner life separate from the outer persona, and make them 3 dimensional, as we've seen him do this before.
I just think that because Tom Cruise is Tom Cruise, we would watch Tony Stark (played by TC), and it would be very difficult to look past his outer persona and see that inner kindness shining underneath.
Also, RDJ is the only person in the world who can play Anthony Edward Stark aside from me. Hope this helps <33

goddd . the thing about sonic and shadows dynamic is that in the 2000s era games they werent exactly besties but they didnt seem to dislike eachother either. maybe they didnt always agree on everything but there was still a mutual respect there and they had no problem working together when it was necessary. there were even instances where sonic WANTED to team up with shadow and seemed to at the very least consider him a trusted ally if not a friend. but then over time sega decided to make their relationship more. idk. hostile i guess is the word? i guess its because they wanted to push the rivalry more or something. and i wouldnt say their relationship in sonic prime is exactly like it was in the older games but its definitely a breath of fresh air after some of the stuff we've gotten before this

i KNOW that oda is aware he's drawn some extremely gorgeous ladies since he obviously does that on purpose (though i believe he's unaware of just how beautiful some ladies he's drawn that stray too far from his usual model are), but I'm, like, pretty much convinced he has absolutely no clue he's also drawn some of the most good looking manga dudes out there. I'm sure he has no idea. He puts down lines and then he's like "???? why are people so obsessed with this guy he has barely shown up ever????" while we're all sitting here going heart eyes or whatever. It's been twenty-six years maybe it's time for him to get on with the program. It's like his experience with benn and ace in the very beginning taught him absolutely nothing
