Lot of bitter people in this topic. His first big role was 16 and then the guy blew up as spider-man when he was like 18.

Imagine being a literal child and the the course of your life changes drastically. I cant really blame him for not liking the lack of privacy even if he has a lot of money now

16 is not a child.

They're legally a minor, but they're closer to adulthood than childhood. We don't let children drive cars.

But I honestly don't remember Wonder Woman getting flack until the sequels. For the most part, the response was positive. There were some people mad about her being an Israeli soldier, but that's the only controversy I remember.

I hate Trump as much as the next person, but he has a point. There's no need for him to debate when he's this far ahead of the other Republicans. That'd be like if one player lapped another player in Mario Kart and the player who was lagging behind said, "Let's settle this with dueling Koopa Shells."

I just hope he's forced out of the race (preferably by way of prison sentence... ). I would rather have anyone but him.

There are times when I'll watch a western from the 1960s or 1970s and be surprised to read that they underperformed. Then I'll remember how utterly oversaturated the western market was. I think superheroes have become the modern day westerns.

It could be that people are tired of, "You loved Guardians of the Galaxy, give these unknowns a chance." It could be that the genre itself is played out and people simply can't get excited for them the way that they could ten, twenty, or thirty years ago.

Didn't Kong win in the original version? I wonder how upset people were back then about that.

Godzilla wasn't as famous in 1962 as King Kong was. So, yeah, there was never any doubt who was going to win the fight. In fact, the Italian title for the movie was The Triumph of King Kong.

The original plot for the follow-up film, Mothra vs Godzilla, had Godzilla's "dead" body washing ashore. But they changed it so that Mothra's egg ran aground and people decided to put it on display instead. People are still shocked to find that Godzilla is alive.

The underwater ending of the fight between Kong and Godzilla deliberately takes place off-screen so that Godzilla fans can claim that he chased Kong away. But Toho acknowledged in press releases at the time that Kong was the winner. Godzilla's creator would later state in his memoir that the fight was a draw, but I'm gonna have to call him to account on that one.

It was, and unfortunately, I used to think they were so funny. Growing up does a lot to change ones sense of humor. It's kind of why I really dislike anime's that always portray someone who is LGBT as a pervert that wants to rape/sexual harass people.

That's a shame. I will admit that I got some laughs out of that kind of humor at one point as well. The original Scary Movie comes to mind. That movie was hilarious when I was 14. I'm not sure if it would hold up on a rewatch.

The solution would be to decolonize and create a Palestinian state. But the Americans will never do that. America is also a colonized nation and if one nation is forced to decolonize people will start asking if other nations can do that too, and they don't want that.

What is decolonizing to that region? How many regimes have had control over that land? Both sides of the conflict have ancestral ties to that land and maybe nations have held it.

I'm happy for you that she's back home. It is a little worrisome to take blood thinners after being told not to, but I can see how she would do that out of force of habit -- especially if she's not in her usual state of mind.

What would a multicultural government do for israel?

Let's not beat around the bush, it is an ethnostate as far as their government is concerned. To them, anyone who isn't a Jew is an enemy. That's no way to run a nation. I don't think it's realistic to expect the nation's government to reset with a multicultural cabinet, but it would benefit greatly if it did. Or, more realistically, if the nation allowed other representatives little by little under pressure from the public. (Netanyahu has only a 27% approval rating among Israelis.)

If all power in a nation belongs to one group, other groups usually suffer as a result.

I don't know how this is going to end, but I can't see the world sitting by and allowing Israel's government to wipe Palestine off the map. Nor could I imagine the inverse happening.

Maybe they'll reach a point where Israel will say no more hospitals bombed if the hostages are returned. It'd be like the wartime (or, sadly, war crime) equivalent of "settling out of court." Is there anyone or anything that could force Netanyahu out of office besides a coup?

"Israel's right to defend itself" and/or "Israel's right to exist" are at this point just dogwhistles for "Israel's right to commit genocide". Note how neither point ever gets brought up outside of defending Israel's genocidal actions. No different to what, for example, "all lives matter" tends to really mean.

That's not true.

We didn't wipe Germany off the map following World War II. We shouldn't be calling for Israel to be removed as a nation either. Netanayahu and his genocidal thugs? Absolutely. The entire nation? Forget about it. Every last American who isn't full-blooded Native American should be forcibly relocated to his or her ancestral homeland before Israel is wiped off the map. If they're invalid as a nation, so is America. Taking by force and defending against anyone wishing to reclaim the land is how the US came to be. And you could get rid of it twice as easily as you could Israel.

Neither Israel nor Palestine have the right to end one another. They'll fight for decades, maybe even centuries, but there will come a point where both nations coexist and no amount of hatred from anyone is going to stop that.

Changing standards.

I never understood it myself, but it's just like the Chipettes from Alvin and the Chipmunks. These characters aren't supposed to be sexualized for having exposed panties. It's actually meant to be the total opposite: they're too young and innocent to know that they're supposed to cover up.

It's like that one sun tan lotion company that had the logo of the dog exposing the girl's butt. Somehow, that was seen as cute, funny, and innocent. Today, something like that would set off some red flags. Speaking of which, did they ever change that mascot?

That's still kind of a thing in Japan, but it's long gone in the US and we're none the worse for it.
