Sadly, somehow, this box office weekend actually did 51.5 million. It wasn't as bad as I expected. Hopefully next weekend can live down to the expectations.

Why were you hyped for a box office catastrophe anyway?

We haven't had a good one in years. Not since 2008 at least.

WB is trying to capitalize on the bad box office, pushing Wonder Woman some more in an effort to help its push for an Academy Award.

In the 3rd Gauntlet, Apollo Creed got 5th and Hellboy got 10th.

Also of note, Wonder Woman passed Captain America: Civil War to become the #21 highest-grossing film of all time.

Sorry @scarletspeed7, but this game's Cid is a fucking douchebag. Right down to his shitty haircut.

I don't dislike him. However, like most of the cast in this one, I just don't care enough to really formulate an opinion. They only ones I actually like are Vanille and Sazh.

Should have started when Hawkeye and Hot Lips ended their tour of duty over there.

Sorry scar, but no one can relate to a fucking super god who you've even said in Superman vs. Goku debates "controls all of writing or whatever nonsense" How is that compelling in the slightest?

Because you're missing the point if you think powers matter.

See, for me, a side character is a flavor. If they are memorable, if they add something unique, if they are an utter burst of whatever their personality is, that's good enough in a movie. I expect more from TV because TV can actually tell a real story.

The flaws you're talking about are not realistic flaws. Ariel is also a completely flawed character, but it's not realistic. No one in the history of the ever has trusted women with octopus tentacles and evil achromatically-eyed eels. If they do, they are lambasted and roasted for it.

On the flip side, Mulan is a super warrior with no faults. It's infuriating. Bitch, who gives a fuck about your father. He's silent while you've been foisted into a culture of female denigration. Sure, stop the huns. At least the huns have women in their army. They're the enlightened ones.

This is why a competent character has the most potential for development. They aren't perfect, but they aren't useless. They are good at something, but not everything. They have value but they aren't overvalued.

NFC Championship game - Lions vs. Cowboys. Both in wild card spots.

"Reading would be your friend." ~Dave Meltzer

I hold main characters to a much higher standard than tertiary characters. And it's not whether they are well-written or not when it comes to how much I like them; it's how competent they are. That's why I'll take Professor Harold Hill or Beowulf Schaeffer or Henry Higgins or Indiana Jones over Belle, Elsa and Ariel every time. That's why I take Quinn King over Quasimodo any day of the week.

Because, most of the time, a competent character has more depth to them. You have to create nuanced flaws to overcome the lack of obvious elementary flaws designed for lesser minds to understand. That's why Superman, well-written, is amazing. His struggles are cerebral and philosophical. Disney struggles are sexual every time.

God, people who like Elsa pretty much support the decline of humanity taking responsibility for itself.

I would not mind seeing a bottom 10 from scarlet

It's like Mater, Elsa, Ariel, Chicken Little, and some cows.

Wow, have you seen the backlash on Twitter against Trevor Noah for criticizing Antifa on the Daily Show? Just some snippets.

https://twitter.com/search?q=%22Trevor%20Noah%22&src=tren

I don't really know where I stand on Antifa because I don't know how much I read or hear about Antifa is accurate, but even so, he seemed to voice a reasonable point of view about the perception of Antifa.

Guys, I'm so excited.

This is going to be the worst Labor Day box office in years. The predictions are, of course, that this weekend can't even reach the lows of last weekend.

It's going to be fantastic.
