Do fans think it’s... flattering to mob Yibo and incessantly yell for him at airports? Cuz wow, look at how many fans he’s got..? Following him, invading his space from all sides, literally all with their phones shoved in his face. And for what? To get photos or videos of him, hiding his face behind a mask and a cap, not even showing his eyes cuz he’s obviously trying hard to be lowkey but these “fans” make it fucking impossible for him. Does Yibo need to get hurt, too, before his team finally bans airport photos? God, I feel so bad for him... And I don’t give a fuck that this shit is considered normal for idols or whatever; that doesn’t make it okay and never will. We should instead try normalizing treating idols like people, deserving of respect and space, instead of treating them like this... like they only exist for us.

In life courtesy and self-possession, and in the arts style, are the sensible impressions of the free mind, for both arise out of a deliberate shaping of all things, and from never being swept away, whatever the emotion, into confusion or dullness.

“The Flash” star Ezra Miller says they are seeking treatment for “complex mental health issues.”
In a statement provided to Variety by a representative of the actor, Miller broke their silence about the troubling behavior that they have exhibited in recent years, which has led to a series of legal issues and assault and abuse allegations. Miller also apologized for their actions.
“Having recently gone through a time of intense crisis, I now understand that I am suffering complex mental health issues and have begun ongoing treatment,” Miller says. “I want to apologize to everyone that I have alarmed and upset with my past behavior. I am committed to doing the necessary work to get back to a healthy, safe and productive stage in my life.”
The embattled actor, who is non-binary and uses they and them pronouns, played the DC Comics character Barry Allen in 2017’s “Justice League” and its 2021 counterpart, “Zack Snyder’s Justice League.” But their role in the comic book franchise has been overshadowed by their off-screen behavior, which has alarmed friends and associates of the actor, as well as Warner Bros., the studio behind “The Flash.”
Most recently, Miller was charged with felony burglary in Vermont, after state police investigated an incident involving several bottles of alcohol being taken from a residence while the homeowners were not present. The actor made headlines in 2020 after a recording surfaced in which they appeared to be choking a woman outside of a bar in Iceland. No charges were filed. The actor has been arrested twice in Hawaii this year, once for disorderly conduct and harassment. In the Hawaii incidents, Miller pled no contest to a single count of misdemeanor disorderly conduct and paid a $500 fine and $30 in court costs. The harassment charge was dismissed.
The series of scandals has become a snowballing public relations issue, not only for Miller, but also for Warner Bros. Discovery, which has employed the actor across two of its cornerstone franchises — DC Comics films and the “Harry Potter” spinoff series “Fantastic Beasts.” A source close to the studio says that Warner Bros. supports Miller’s decision to seek professional help.
“The Flash” is set to open in theaters on June 23, 2023 and reportedly serves as a key entry in the studio’s DC Comics films, featuring appearances by Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton as Batman.

Not Caleb whiffing every goddamn attack until right after Nott went unconscious, hitting with a 25 and not even looking at the monster, just at Nott in Beauregard's arms, certainly not that

I honestly don’t see the mcu lasting long the way it’s going. Practically every month there’s some new movie or show with rushed cgi that is required to watch so you can understand another movie or show that’s setting up like 3 unnecessary spin-offs and ultimately has no satisfying payoff for earlier storylines. There’s already a plethora of plot holes and continuity errors and the more movies they add to this cinematic universe, the more likely it will collapse under its own weight.
I will give MCU this: they have announced they will be slowing shit down now thankfully so that the people working on the films/shows can have the time they need, so hopefully the constant MCU releases will stop after the films and shows we know are coming out this year.
But I do agree with you, I don't see the MCU lasting long, since they keep going with this idea that everything in the end has to be connected, so as a viewer, you have to watch a-lot of hours of movies and shows just to understand a new movie or show in the MCU and after a while, that's just going to result in fatigue because what's the point of seeing this new thing if its just to make sure your ready for the next new thing???
And people's issues with how the MCU does stuff is obviously showing with peoples reactions to Ant Man 3 right now, let alone Love And Thunder, so unless MCU actually does clean up its act completely, it really won't last long.

Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League should NOT be canon to the Arkhamverse.
I know my opinion won't be a very popular one and that no one cares as much as I do, but the very thought of this game being canon to the Arkhamverse makes me want to burn down an orphanage.
My grievances with this game are more complicated than disliking the playstyle. It may appear that I'm being too hasty in my judgment of an unreleased game, but I have a powerful feeling of foreboding I've experienced about famously "bad" games in the past. It's a stubborn feeling that won't relent and continues to gnaw at me despite my attempts to allay concerns.
From what I've seen of the game, I can tell you that this game should not be in any way connected to the Arkhamverse. There's objectively no reason for this game to be set in the Arkhamverse other than Rocksteady's hope of using the brand to sell a stillborn game that should be its own thing. I would petition Rocksteady to decide against making SSKTJL canon but I doubt anyone cares as much as me.
It's painfully obvious that this game is based more on the Suicide Squad movies than the Arkham series. Arkhamverse Deadshot was a white man, not a black man. Before anyone accuses me of racism, I'm merely pointing out that the movie Deadshot was played by Will Smith, a black man and now Arkhamverse Deadshot, a white man was race changed to black to imitate the movie. King Shark is canonically dead in the Arkhamverse. So is Captain Boomerang. The tonal dissonance between the two is neck-breaking levels of jarring. I'm begging Rocksteady to reconsider connecting this steaming pile to the Arkhamverse as despite what people have said to me, bad storytelling, terrible retcons, and cop-out excuses do have extremely negative effects on a brand's image.

The choice to reboot HP apparently even after all of Rowlings recent antics. And how the last Fantastic Beasts went profit wise
Is certainly a choice being made
