Off topic but I never understood why this woman went through such a radical physical transformation when exposed to the yellow sun. I'm not sure I can remember that being the case for anyone else. And it isn't even that she just got jacked as much as she got all caked up.

I think the intent was to get footage of this skinny chick in her underwear. Like - everything is not some wild conspiracy. Somethings just are what they look like.
What was the director's intent for portraying Zendaya like this? I think Hollywood is up to something because this is the most exposed the actress has ever been.

James Gunn and Peter Safran will no longer run DC Studios.
Jeremy Latcham, who previously served as a producer at Marvel Studios, is taking over DC.

I feel like women, as a power class, are beginning to see what too many men have failed to; that when you are on the upside of a power imbalance, even a perceived one, it becomes very difficult to see you actions or choices as damaging because everything feels justified.
Men thought this because they saw their choices and actions as maintaining stability in an inherently unstable world. Women think this (IM wildly unlearned O) because they see their choices as correcting historic wrongs. In the light of these very large ideas its very easy to

When one side of a conversation stops talking, and the other side isn’t listening anyway, was it ever a conversation.

When you look over many of the replies and QRT's to this statement it points out just how comfortable people have become with the idea that if you cannot argue or contribute to a certain idea it's perfectly fine to just argue a completely different point as a contribution.
It's fine for boys to like books about boys doing boy things. Maybe even written by male authors. Maybe publishers should publish those.

EVERYBODY experiences, "casual cruelty and abuse". That's just part of the human experience because we are inherently selfish, self-serving creatures. Everyone is a victim in some way. Likewise, everyone is a perpetrator in some way. Some are worse than others; but that's life.
"Men arent bad, they're socialized to be selfish, violent, and to see women as objects" This is what little girls have to deal with. We endure casual cruelty and abuse our entire lives, but we're supposed to pretend males are victims of the same system built by men to protect men

"Fridging" is like the so-called "Bechdel Test" in that it was just an observation. It was never supposed to become a rule because, dramatically, it isn't sustainable.
These are not real people. No one is actually dying because these people don't exist. It's all fiction - all of it INCLUDING the characters.
It's very interesting how the tweet draws a line between, "WOMEN dying" and, "male CHARACTERS" as if the women aren't ALSO CHARACTERS.
Complaints like the ones this actor makes are easy when they aren't responsible for keeping a dramatic publication engaging and sales worthy for a long period of time. At some point you DO just kind of hit a wall where ANYTHING sounds like a good idea.
This hypothetical ignores the fact that if the series was Harriet Potter it would be written differently because men and women are not simply interchangeable and what isn’t being acknowledged is that there IS a difference between what appeals to boys and girls because they’re ARE
I mean - they're ALL intimidating. At a certain point the matter of degree to which they might be intimidating becomes valueless to measure because once you shit your pants, really, is there anything left to contemplate?
Interestingly this is NOT what this graph illustrates. What it DOES represent is the schism between men and women who post reviews to GoodReads.
so basically women read everything and men hate fun, then wonder why women have richer imaginations, broader interests and better taste in literally everything.

Almost every, "core" whatever is performative bullshit. It's about being seen as the thing more than BEING the thing and it always turns into a competition to see who can be MORE the thing than everyone else. How about you just be sincere about being yourself.
