    Apple Refuses FBI Demand to Build a "Backdoor" For iPhones

    They don't even have to have something illegal- saving a word document on a government computer counts as modifying files. Hell- if someone have wireless access to your smartphone they can upload illegal files to it and change the date modified. What the FBI's asking for here is the ability to...

    Captain Marvel Will Become "Earth's First Line of Defense" in New Comic

    Sorry friend, I have no idea what a TPB is, but it's definitely old enough to be available online! They were around during Civil War, after all.

    Captain Marvel Will Become "Earth's First Line of Defense" in New Comic

    Not at all. The ORIGINAL Marvel Captain Marvel (Kree Mar-vell) was a hero from 1967. Last time I saw him was in Osborn's Thunderbolts. Danvers is recent. (Also Monica quit the avengers and heads a superteam called Nextwave. It's ****ing awesome)

    First Wonder Woman Set Photos Revealed

    Maybe she got frozen in a block of ice trying to prevent a rocket launch.

    Disney Wants to Release a New Star Wars Every Year Indefinitely

    The old comics yeah. Disney's totally rebranded and revamped the marvel universe. Marvel's complicated "Hot Mess" is a canon rewrite and general fuckup of the characters and personalities.

    Double Post, apologies.

    Jesse Eisenberg Isn't "Lex" Luthor After All

    Kinda disappointing they didn't go with Jordan Luthor over "Junior". Jor-L would have been awesome.

    I Am Confused Edition: Sexist for calling someone "stunning"?

    As a point to the mass shaming- it may have been the only way to keep her position as a lawyer. A high-status well-connected person says you have a nice picture and wants to know how "we might work together". In a social forum it's a compliment and an invitation. In a business-based...

    I Am Confused Edition: Sexist for calling someone "stunning"?

    Honestly, it was uncalled for on both parts. Man tells woman she would win the prize for best business picture. Woman capitalizes on the slip up by calling the media and getting a $#!%ton of free advertising for her firm/personal practice. Clever business move but rather crappy on both sides...

    Jesse Eisenberg Promises Lex Luthor Is "Very Serious"

    That makes perfect sense! And yeah, the intelligence of the average civilian in DC does seem to take a dive where superheroics are concerned. I always assumed someone put something in the water.

    Jesse Eisenberg Promises Lex Luthor Is "Very Serious"

    That's not Lex, That's Flash in Lex's body. Which is still awesome buuuut... I think you're looking for this: (I know the criteria is *technically* a serious Luthour but... where's the fun in that?)

    Star Wars: Aftermath Author Offers Scathing Response to Criticism of Gay Characters

    100% accurate, well said. Wiki link to Wendig's oh-so-profitable logical fallacy: <a href=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_herring>Red Herring

    Should offensive opinions be censored from discussion?

    What, and let the majority decide who gets to say stuff? (spelling that out for the slow people, majority "votes" on social guidelines = majority decides what's offensive) That's great and all, but the majority's frequently been proven to be grossly incompetent and prone to being hijacked by...

    Star Wars: Aftermath Author Offers Scathing Response to Criticism of Gay Characters

    I was expressing my distaste for the removal of literature because Disney thinks it's a good business decision. Wendig being a star wars author is as much a matter of perspective as him being a bandwagon-jumping sycophant. The important part is where he strawmans the "most prominent" movement...
