whatever position men gravitate towards regarding a female character is never pro woman. ESPECIALLY in nerd franchises. do you think men are inclined to feminism? 🎤
replacing a woman (earien) with a white man (anarion) and replacing a black man (arondir) with a white man (celeborn). how about you fuck off @TheRingsofPower #TROPspoilers

nerdist baits all the time and sees through a very fandom specific lens. does no one remember the adariel beauty and the beast article she wrote last season? anyways she baits all the ships. she's doing it again. that's why i dont take her exaggerations as real

so arondir IS dead to make room for celeborn and it is not worth it. killed the black elf when they brought in a white elf. the show deserves cancellation. fuck every celeborn fan who wanted him on the show. genuinely i hope you and trop pay for for this #tropspoilers
when trop twt clamored for celeborn or glorifindel, ppl said there'd too many male elves. somebody would have to go to make room
you got celeborn because they killed arondir. killed a poc to get your white man. fuck every one of you who advocated him to come back
#TROPspoilers
they genuinely must think people are so stupid they cannot see the calculus of one elf character coming in and IMMEDIATELY one elf character out #tropspoilers

#TROPspoilers no one can twist this in any other way, they killed the black guy in favor of the white man. The moment Cborn enters the picture, Arondir was condemned, and there’s no denying.
Racist at its peak. If I hated Cborn before I hate him even more now.

What do they mean when they say Superman 2025 lacked “pop culture impact”? This moment right here was THE IMPACT.

literally EVERY review keeps singling out sauron and galadriel as one of the show’s buzziest and most compelling dynamics and now even the husband’s “grand” return is being discussed in terms of how much MORE tension it adds to #them the recap on who’s paying the bills mama

well YES!!
THE RINGS OF POWER continues to be my favorite fantasy epic to complain about — so much great high drama...then there's the Numenor stuff. Still, the Galadriel/Sauron dynamic remains buzzy as ever, even more so in Season 3. My review: inverse.com/entertainment/th…

I hope sky dance runs itself into bankruptcy 👍
Reported details on why Skydance removed James Gunn & Peter Safran as co-heads of DC Studios:
• 'Supergirl' was viewed as a box office disaster
• Superman’s $618M box office was not impressive to Skydance — it reportedly lacked pop culture impact to them
• DC heads were reportedly reluctant or slow to share future DC plans, slate details and footage with Skydance execs
• They wanted to report directly to David Ellison to maintain strong control over the rollout of DC projects
• One insider says the exec shakeup has been in the works since early Fall
• Gunn and Safran will still have direct links to the studio, but with less control
• It is unclear if Gunn will get the chance to finish any of his vision for Superman, which reportedly includes a trilogy
• One DC insider expressed concern about whether fans will continue investing in the franchise if it is rebooted yet again

I don't think studio insiders have any idea what the zeitgeist even is at this point considering how objectively successful it was AND that Hal Jordan has been everywhere for the last 3 months
It feels like a coverup for the show not lining up with the new regime's awful beliefs
LANTERNS has reportedly not been renewed for a Season 2.
A studio insider suggests the show "isn't quite capturing the zeitgeist."

“Lanterns failed to capture the cultural zeitgeist”
Ummmm, The White House literally tweeted THIS:
