I shop at Amazon and or digitally now, but I still sometimes feel need for a brick and mortar store because I worry about electronics getting damaged during shipping and overheating in hot climates.
I don't know how to break this to you, but distribution trucks for big boxes are not climate controlled so your electronics are still potentially experiencing severe heat/cold during shipping.

The Tim Burton movies are the best Batman movies. The other two 90s ones are of course hilariously awful and everything after those is straight out of the grim darkness of the grimdark.

The Dark Knight is a great movie, but it feels like its own thing and not a comic book movie. I don't actually like the other two Nolan movies.

Killmonger carried that entire movie. T'Challa was a cardboard cutout for most of it and has basically zero character development. He was much better in Civil War and was probably the best part of that movie so it was a noticable step back.

The downsides of being a medieval peasant greatly outweight the benefits of working way fewer days. Most prominently starving to death when you have a bad harvest. Dying of diseases and infections or abcessed teeth that you would easily survive today and having your village pillaged by armies or bandits passing by are some other notable ones.

And of course, the smell.

I mean you can definitely dislike it, I haven't been very complimentary, and voiced my distaste for Warrior Princess Galadriel, but at the same time when you say you're "not allowed" to have an opinion on something it's a red flag.

End of the day though, like any other show whether it's good or not will mostly come down to the performances delivered by the cast.
Nothing about the cast matters to me at all. If they all put in Emmy-worthy performances good for them, and I'll be happy for the people will enjoy the show. I will simply never accept any original Middle-Earth story that some screenwriter came up with when the Silmarillion is sitting RIGHT THERE waiting for the incredibly dry, borderline unwatchable adaptation I've been awaiting for decades.

Ah yes, the show I'm not allowed to dislike for any reason. Let the series rest in peace along with Tolkien and his son, or at least adapt the actual books that exist instead of being "inspired" by some footnote in the appendices and making your own fan fiction.

This is like if someone decided to write sequels to Star Wars without George Lucas having input. I mean how ridiculous would that be, right?

All I know is she screwed up bringing that vape juice into enemy territory. F*** around and find out. And she found out!

Also, how would we know what would happen with Lebron if it were him? Doesn't exist. Silly argument.
TIL Lebron isn't black thanks to this blazing hot take.

I agree with the idea that we would be more likely to trade an arms dealer nicknamed the "Merchant of Death" for Lebron than Brittney Griner, but we should not be doing it for either of them.
