How's Marcus going to stay jacked? Where does the meat come from after the COG loses Jacinto?
Is it cannibalism when Locust aren't human?
Sorry couldn't resist going to a weird awful place with that one.
And your evidence that Serans are biologically different from Terrans is...?
"The humans of Sera built a glorious civilization. But humans were not destined to create. They inevitably did what they do best: destroy. But this was nothing compared to a new threat from below. An enemy that will force humanity to take their last inevitable steps toward extinction." —Queen...

I'll wait.
I'll admit I just pulled that one out my arse but different planet gravities and conditions would impact humans differently.
Except Vagrant Queen is fun. You may disagree (I'm assuming you've watched it), but AlitaxAmae isn't the focus. It's about as prominent as JohnxAeryn in Farscape. Present, somewhat important, but not the focus. And even if it was, how does that automatically mean the show is weaker for it? Plenty of romances add to stories.
I'll give you that it's far less of a focus in the show itself then John x Aeryn in part because well a lot of the stuff with Aeryn is about John showing her she can be more that what the Peacekeepers made her. Also John to some degree proving humans have their worth and aren't some inferior weak species at least in the eyes of the others.
First, I disagree Star Wars is a mess. This may sound strange, considering that I dislike the sequel trilogy, but by any reasonable metric, Star Wars is in a solid position, when you consider the volume of material that's being pumped out for it, and the critical successes a lot of it has had under Disney.
Second, you mean Geode? What's wrong with Geode? He appears in the novel Into the Dark, he's quietly (silently) hilarious. Did something go wrong in the comic?
The volume being pumped out but is it selling ultimately is the question?
I mean The sequel Trilogy technically was still a failure for Disney as it didn't recoup as much of the costs of the Lucas films purchase as they'd hoped.
It doesn't matter what criteria you use, the stats would likely remain the same.
Context very much matters with stats. I'll use the one a professor once brought up.
"Did you know the USA spends more on renewable technology than any other country in the world?"
Important context. It's not per capita spending it's overall and as basically the largest country in the world it becomes far less impressive.
In terms of the stats context for the ones Brie Larson brought up it could mean that some dude writing for a paper with a readership of 200 people is deemed a critic while a woman on youtube doing videos to 200,000 people isn't deemed a critic.
YouTube dumps is irrelevant to the premise. Anyone can go onto YouTube. It's in the actual industry that the issue (if you see it as an issue) is.
What do we consider the industry these days?
People employed by a company doing it?
Does that mean Roger Ebert wouldn't count now unless employed by company even if doing it on his own he's be hugely successful?
I partly agree - I don't think there's inherent worth in one's POV based on inherent traits - but there's nothing objectionable about getting as many viewpoints as possible.
And there's plenty of evidence that shows how people react to seeing themselves portrayed. Look at Afro-Americans' reaction to Black Panther for example.
Nothing objectionable unless it's being done on the belief that said characteristics they have somehow works as a qualification in their own right without any actual justification to it.
And your point is...?
WHere, in any of it, did Larson say something so horrendous that it triggered pile-ons?
It's more the dumb falling in line with certain rhetoric about people having inherent worth based on who they were born as not who they worked to become.
Even if that's true, it doesn't change the fact that the sentiment exists. Bots don't have the ability to do in-length essays and responses on mermaid science.
No just get an easy buzzword going and get people to focus on it think it's a thing and something to fight against.
IT all comes down to having an "Enemy" that can easily be defined.
To anyone following American politics, it’s not exactly news that Democrats and Republicans don’t like each other. Take what happened in the presidential debate…
