The problem with the idea of rebooting the EU is that means you ultimately have to take a fine tooth comb through it to find what's good and what's bad. It's far easier to just cut the whole damn thing and move on.

Saving the good stuff like you mentioned while ignoring the rest is like trying to save the thumb off a gangrenous arm. Sure, it's a perfectly good thumb, but no point worrying about it compared to the rest.

As for the OP.... no. Just no. You're free to hate the Disney direction, but holy shit the prequels were hot messes of failed ideas, logical inconsistencies, and horrible direction.

We live in an age where literally every piece of information you could possibly want is available at your fingertips at a moment's notice. I could get being overwhelmed at the idea of car shopping twenty years ago, but nowadays literally everybody could narrow their search down to a handful of models that look best to them and go from there with physical inspections and test drives. Who cares if salespeople try to swarm, just politely brush them aside with a firm understanding of what you're looking for and if they don't have it move on.

Uh.... the Mongols did fight white people, though. They crushed a couple of Polish and Hungarian armies at Legnica and Mohi within the span of about a week of each other, not to mention having utterly taken it to the Russians repeatedly.

Edit: oh, misread what you were saying. I think they did have forced labor troops from conquered people, though. Random white dude being a general for them though? Yeah, that'd be dumb. That being said, John Wayne playing Genghis Khan in a movie is what ultimately killed him, so bad precedent.

Not really surprising, to be honest. Women's national basketball and hockey teams play against high school and junior male teams fairly regularly and get beat fairly regularly. Women's sports can be great, but in essentially every single sport men would utterly dominate in every way, shape, and form if major competitions were unisex. You can look at Olympic records as well in women's sports and compare them to almost any high school boy's state competitions and find similar results there, too.

In other words, they're making an argument while ignoring the most clear example of proof against. If that's the case, then they're clearing grinding an axe and making a predetermined argument. Oh no, an ancillary character was treated as an ancillary character.

Have you seen the movie?

Yes. Domino was a fantastic character, and Wade's girlfriend continued to be a secondary character as she was in the first film. She got less screen time because the plot was even less about her, that doesn't mean they're trivializing or negating female characters.

I mean.... okay.

Sure and I can see how that can be a counter-argument.

But they're not talking about her. They're talking about Wade's girlfriend and her role in the story.

Oh no, an ancillary character was treated as an ancillary character. Meanwhile, a strong and entertaining female character made their big screen debut and the audience response has all but guaranteed that she'll be a main character in the series movie forward and might even get a movie of her own if the push is strong enough.

You're still half wrong, though. Leno almost always beat Letterman essentially from the moment he had the the interview with Hugh Grant. That was the turning point that turned the ratings battle in Leno's favor forever.

That being said, Letterman > Leno but Conan was heads and shoulders better than anyone before or since.
