Topic'Not every job should have a living wage. That's not healthy for society'
FortuneCookie

Serving ice cream should be a job for teenagers. The problem with that is that, if you have jobs designated for adolescent dependents of working adults, every business will want their job listed as a "teen job."

Taking calls is a teen job.
Computer repair is a teen job.
Working the factory is a teen job.

That's why we can't have allowances for things like that. Have a loophole and you'll have every corporation looking to pay peanuts. If all jobs are in the same boat, it's better to pay a living wage to the person working soft serve than to say that nobody deserves a living wage.

I mean, there's a pretty big issue in the industry with major film studios mostly only funding huge franchise films that will have a $300-$500+ mil return. It's becoming increasingly harder to receive funding for non-franchise films. Superhero movies just so happen to be THE franchise films right now. I think as a filmmaker it's a reasonable thing to be upset about.

That's a problem with capitalism. It's not a form of genocide.

The guys who hate on Superhero movies are so dumb.

Acting like Hollywood has been deep artistic expressions of human life and soul until capes turned up.

I get not personally liking them or feeling that their overabundance comes at the expense of other genres. (Personally, I'm annoyed at the lack of action and adventure outside of the superhero genre.) But calling it cultural genocide? That's going way, way too far.

We're lucky Iron Man was already written out of the MCU.

If the MCU decides in the near future to use the multiverse as a means of rebooting characters without rebooting them, there's an 80% chance that Universe B Iron Man will be Latino.

I feel like the random gangster on the cover is more accurate to the tone and content of Avenging Spirit than a smiley ghost -- seeing as you murder several random innocent people and animals en route to getting your revenge.

The ghost can possess a person or animal for a short period of time before they die. Then he has to find a new host. Not all of the hosts are bad guys. If I remember correctly, you can possess dogs and high school girls.

People like to mention the things they like. Sometimes, it pays off and they go onto to do adaptations of said thing.

The mom was reading Peter Pan in E.T. and Spielberg went on to direct Hook. The kids were watching The Thing from Another World in Halloween and John Carpenter remade that one.

Maybe it's as simple as the writer or director of Euphoria wanting you to know they're a fan of Sailor Moon and down for a live action reboot.
