They are literally adapting a book, in which the character was hinted at been gay to evade or gain advantage doing the job he does.

So the show runners didn't just spring it up from nowhere to suit a certain perceived agenda, they are actually trying to stay true to the source material.

I don't know how far back your film and show history goes, but they were actually gay characters in oldies alot, like a whole lot, one of HBO's best show ever and quite frankly a consensus all time fave of many people, Six Feet Under, had prominent gay characters, way back as 2001!. It didn't use to bother anybody then, because it wasn't slapped on just about any media like it is today.

But then again, they had no voice then, and like every facet of human history, they feel they have a voice now, and they need to be heard. You are well within your rights to be totally vexed seeing same sex relationships in media, but if i was chronic betting man, my money would be on you been mad, at like 70% of shows and movies, out, moving forward, especially from tamed conservative places like Hollywood and the British.
It's good to know that it didn't just spring up from nowhere.
Don't misunderstand me, I don't hate character simply because of their sexuality, that would be shallow of me.
In fact, I just binged The Wire a few weeks ago and Omar was one of my favorite characters in the show.
In case you don't know, Omar is gay, but there's so much more to his character than just being gay.
I hope you understand where I'm coming for.

The Big Bang Theory - S2 (08 - 09)

It's starting to hit that sweet spot...


That's my favorite comedy series of all time.
Who's your favorite character so far?

Everything isn't black and white , Oga.

1. You remember he is a loner and works alone.

2. He isn't working for any government organization that grants him access to tech support.

3. You forget he is a mimic, I won't be surprised if he kills the guard and takes his 'place'. + why you did you think he insisted on going to the guy's place. I
If he was actually gay, it would have been easy to invite the guy to his hotel, yet he insisted on going to the guy's place.

4. All this outrage, for all we know, from the kiss he can just slice his neck. It's not as if they were shown having sex na.

So be calming down small small
Things like that might not bother you but it makes me uncomfortable and it came as a bit of a shock to me.
I guess I just didn't allow myself to think he'd go that far but I guess it's a show of his commitment to his job. Let's see what they'll do next.

Lmaoo....HBO aren't trying to lose a generational bag like this, just because J.K Rowling is strongly opointed 😩🫣😂.

Pretty sure Harry Potter is up there among the most bankable IPs this side of the century and as such she can do and say whatever the F she wants with little or no blow back...

The mob can try, but you can't cancel a generational talent like this, most especially when said talent is caucasian....😮‍💨
Yeah, I was glad to see this. They've put that woman through a lot just because she doesn't support trangenderism. They've been trying to cancel her for years and all the people she made famous with her Harry Potter franchise have turned against her. I admire her strength and perseverance.

I don't really have a problem with it as long as it's not just done for the sake of pandering.
And I usually just fast forward scenes like that anyway. Why do you think 70% of the cinema will involve same-sex relationship? That's a bit much, isn't it.

Calm down,

The dude isn't gay. He is just using the other guy for his assassination plan
Well, straight guys don't go around kissing other guys. I mean, surely he could have found another way of gaining access into that venue.

Lol they literally foreshadowed it when he met the guy the first time. I knew that was how he will make his way in. They have shown how far he will go to achieve his goals. That shouldn't surprise you if you were following his progression. Even the man that hire him for the new job clocked it when he heard about what he did to the man that didn't pay.

The only thing I was unsure of is what kind of a man he was outside the job. The smartest thing to do would be to kill his wife and her family when they found his hideout. But he didn't meaning he has a massive weakness there that can be 100% exploited by his enemies.

But his wife did come in with the clutch in the last episode. So not 100% a bad idea but still a weakness nonetheless.

Its a solid showing if you ask me. But then again they could have used a female instead of a male.
How'd he know the guy was gay in the first place tho?

I disagree about the fights in Arcane being great tho...

I watched Arcane season 1 just few days ago, and I can barely remember any battles. They are all mostly forgettable...they don't leave a mark at all.
There is no buildup to the battles, they just come and go and don't stick to memory

Meanwhile fight scenes that I watched in say Naruto years ago are still very fresh in my memory
[/b]
Are you saying you don't remember the fight between Jinx and Ekko? I watched the first season years ago and I still get goosebumps whenever I think of that fight.

Na WA.. episode of 6 jackal na gayyy matter end am from no where..na WA
Thank you! I just finished ep6 and I'm flabbergasted. They've been showing us from the start how much he loves his wife and family, and how he's determined to quit his job so he can be with them all the time, and then boom, all of a sudden, the guy is gay!
Like, what the fvck?! Why do they have to ruin a fantastic thriller with this?!

Dune movie it's self picked up gradually, plenty of details.

Some directors like films to be kind of difficult sometimes, I watch shows like dis when am so less busy and have the time, some times I sleep off and resume. Lol
I absolutely love the first Dune movie. And I don't mind slowburns as long as they keep me engaged. This one just failed to do that so I'm moving on, no qualms.

Dune prophesy S1 is out, I think it's going to be great. Plus if u watched Silos S1, S2 is out too.

Korea and Chinese just full everywhere.
I tried watching it but I couldn't get past 20 minutes. It was dull and none of the characters piqued my interest🤷🏽‍♂️

Well, Day of Jackal is way better than Penguin. My opinion.

It's just too interesting..
I have yet to start watching The Day of the Jackal but I seriously doubt that it comes close to The Penguin.
It's good to hear that it's good though. I'll start watching now.

I don't see how all the various plotlines come together and get resolved in 3 episodes....

It will likely end either open-endedly or with various loose plot threads...

Or maybe the other planned series set in the Arcane world would tie up other loose ends...

Maybe I should also have faith in the writers. They could still pull it off and tie up everything in 3 episodes somehow...

It won't matter anyway...give fans good music and most will overlook any issue...

E.g the writing in this season has been pretty weak but people were apparently crying because of episode 6...

I honestly do not know what people were crying for.
Vander? He's been out since season 1 episode 3 and was reintroduced suddenly and he is somehow very important for some vague reason...

Isha? She's barely a character and her only relevance is tied to Jinx. She doesn't even serve any purpose to the plot...
I genuinely don't believe any fan truly cares about her because there's barely any reason to aside the fact that she's cute...

Viktor? His death was actually sad but also confusing since we are in the dark as to why Jayce suddenly killed Viktor...
So it's more of conflicting...

Good music and a montage of Isha who no one really cares about and some people are crying...
No wonder they doubled down on the music this season...

I don't even see where the Mel plotline is going or why the writers made her survive the bomb...

Edit: I even forgot that Ekko existed.

I just hope they tie it all together in a satisfying way...

Ambressa Medarda so far is the most interesting character this season...

I hope she gets everything she wants. She's my favorite character in the show...and I fully support her
Speak for yourself guy. I cared about Isha and I was very sad to see her die.

Special opps: Lioness season 2 has been a solid 7.5/10 for me.
After five episodes, i can confidently say i am impressed.
This season 2 is more intensed, more action, better script, better dialogues and improved character development.

The last episode ended in a sure cliffhanger, it may seems as though she disobeyed orders on purpose.
I mean why else would she make that call to her husband and tell him that she has found a way out.
Probably she knew that her next move is about to get her and her team suspended.
Well i guess we have to find out in episode 6.
I completely agree with you. This season is way better than the first. It was good to see the actress from season one again tho. I didn't think they'd bring her back.

Illusioneffect:
The story is very realistic with non-realistic concepts and that's difficult to do that when a movie is this fictional. The story is developed well, but the characters aren't. Snyder re-wrote the script in David Hayder because it wasn't 'true' to the source material. If you're writing a movie, you have to be creative with it and pleasurable for people to watch in cinemas, Zack didn't do that, the movie was boring asf, only some scenes were ok, he just vomited what the comics did without adding nuance to the already made story. Look at the Boys - if they had followed it to the T, it wouldn't be as good as it is.
Well, I see your point. Considering the source material, if it has been done right, the movie should have been one of the greatest comic book movies ever. Yeah, Snyder is overrated.

The folk who said Snyder's writing in movies are good is dumb, none of the film's written by Snyder has ever been good. Maybe the action is usually great but in Rebel Moon - both the writing and action are very bad, to many slow mo shots and crappy dialogue sequences. No rewatchability value. I decided to watch Watchmen recently. The movie is so baddddd!!!!! And I watched the 4 hours cut!!!! Everything is just all over the place. I don't still know what Animation is doing there!!!
While I agree that most of Snyder's movies suck, including the both Rebel Moons, I have to disagree with you on Watchmen. Watchmen is actually a really good movie. And it wasn't written by Snyder, it's based on a comic book.

Jokerman:
How are those players more talented than CR7??

Talent is a natural ability
Yes, you're right, talent is a natural ability.
But Cristiano had to train like a absolute monster before he could achieve everything he achieved.
Meanwhile most of those other guys I mentioned could perform magic on the ball having trained much, much less than Ronaldo.
SportsRe: Ronaldo Not Bigger Player Than Me, Messi Remains Greatest Footballer- E. Hazard by JayVicky: 4:49pm On Feb 04, 2024
Jokerman:
This is a trashy take.

Hazard is no where on a talented level than Cristiano.

Cristiano was EPL best dribbler from 2003-2009.

He won EPL best player (3ce) without even winning goal scorer award... How do you think he did this??

Hazard is not even on the same talent level as players such as Bergkamp, Kanu, Robben, Kaka, Okocha, Rooney, Nanị, Pedro, Bale etc...

If he had said Messi is better than Ronaldo, no wahala, but for him to put himself on the same talent level with CR7, that's where the problem is..... Even CR7 chest passes are better than Hazard talent....

Well if Hazard Talent is on the same level with CR7 as he thinks... Why didn't he win all these at his time at EPL??
Typical CR7 fanboy. We're talking natural footballing talent and he's listing achievements.
Cristiano is obviously very talented, but not quite as naturally talented as the likes of Messi, Ronaldo R9, Ronaldinho, Neymar, Maradona, Hazard, etc.
Nobody is saying that Hazard is better than Ronaldo.
What you fail to understand is that talent isn't always reflected in achievements.
SportsRe: Ronaldo Not Bigger Player Than Me, Messi Remains Greatest Footballer- E. Hazard by JayVicky: 8:15am On Feb 04, 2024
What kind of journalism is this? He literally said Ronaldo is bigger than him. He just believes that Ronaldo is not as talented as him in terms of pure football which is kind of true. We all know that Cristiano got to where he is through rigorous training and incredible dedication.
