Fair point. So that means Nikki Cross was not, in fact, on the correct side of "anyone but Charlotte."

I actually remember reading something not long ago that opposite of Wrestlemania, heels tend to get cheered at Summerslam for some reason. Like, most of the top 10 loudest pops were heels winning or faces turning heel. I don't remember what the hypothesis on why that is was.

Yeah, the actual development portion itself is nothing, unless Blizzard is a lot more inept than we think. Having to design any new images and get new voice acting seems pointlessly costly and makes the entire decision questionable, though. It definitely sounds like a "We're gonna throw money at this and hope it pleases people enough to say we did something" solution, which is lol

I actually buy that upon reading it since he has no real reason to lie, and I remember people like Styles and especially Paige getting in trouble with Twitch more than once for things they did/said.

He described it as basically "We were fine until some people kept being idiots and then we got a big 'Okay now nobody can do it,'" which honestly makes sense. It's dumb but it makes sense.

She's a jobber in the comics, but a jobber on par with Superman and Wonder Woman, so no real reason to be on the Squad.

I think this is quite literally the point. She's on a much higher level, power-wise, than the others, so throwing her in just for the role that she had is likely the extent of the joke. Either way, the theory falls apart since Weasel was specifically based on something else, not Rocket. I think you're trying to meta a bit too hard, here, since nothing actually in the movie itself points to them being some GotG meta joke at all.

EDIT: Ultimately, it kinda stops at the fact that Gunn likes using several of the same actors in most of his movies. He's worked with Michael Rooker and Seann Gunn a lot. Nathan Fillion, too. The first two weren't picked because of GotG, they were picked because he likes working with them. That's also why they're in GotG.

So I'm reading that Yondu's actor plays Savant in the movie and Mantis's actor cameos in the strip club scene. Now I'm wondering if the oddball choices like Mongal and Weasel are specifically meant to be digs at GotG (as stand-ins for Gamora and Rocket). Maybe I'm overthinking it, but in that case who are the stand-ins for Drax and Starlord? TDK and Pete Davidson?

edit: okay apparently Gunn's brother does mocap for both Rocket and Weasel, and Bautista was almost cast as someone, so I am definitely not overthinking it

I think you are overthinking it a bit. Gunn's brother is involved in his projects because he's obviously very easy for him to get and he's experienced. Likewise, Bautista was almost cast at the time because he wanted to work with Gunn more and at the time it seemed like GotG3 wasn't going to happen due to Disney firing Gunn. Gunn's obviously going to push to get people he likes working with cast in his movies, as any director does.

It's not impossible, but the characters are there for about a blink of an eye so it seems weird to think it's an intentional dig when it's basically over so fast.

EDIT: Oh. Apparently Gunn already said Weasel is based on Bill the Cat from the Bloom County comic strip.

At this point most of the deaths are unvaccinated idiots crying about freedom.

This. There's a thread on the politics board about a radio host who was super anti-vax, even to the point where he was still tweeting anti-vax shit while in the hospital. Suddenly he took a turn for a worse and stopped being anti-vax, and started saying he wished he got the vaccine and all that. Last few days, he got put on a ventilator and now the ventilator isn't enough and he needs treatment the hospital he's at literally can't provide, so they're trying to get him stable enough to move him to another.

Meanwhile, while he's laying there dying, his co-host is still spouting anti-vax shit.

The problem with "groups" is that they are comprised of people collecting a paycheque that need to spend all of their working hours looking for justification to keep getting paid. The entire industry is centered around inventing things to get upper middle class white millenials worked up

Talk to real people for a change, instead of just blindly believing the compromised opinion of Twitter "activists". Talk to some native or black people and see if they care more about useless platitudes, or if they'd rather society focus on the problems of poverty and education regardless of race/ethnicity.

I literally grew up near Cleveland, dude. I lived there for most of my life. I've literally already talked to these people.

And I'm going to believe them a hell of a lot more than I'm going to believe you, for obvious reasons.

Can you come up with an actual argument for why people can't focus on both, instead of starting with "No indigenous people actually care!" and ending with "Okay but those indigenous people don't count!"

EDIT: I know you're just going to "rabble rabble THE TWITTER rabble rabble," but the Cleveland American Indian Movement has been protesting outside of the stadium for fifty-one years. I'm pretty sure they weren't centered around working up people that weren't even born yet.

It's more that he's got a lot of potential that can go in either direction, and he's very easily guided in either direction by emotions. He's very much a villain originally because he was guided by jealousy and greed and so on, and the point is he could have easily been steered in the opposite direction. He's not inherently good or evil, he's open to both and just responds well to the right nudge.
