the Pills That Make You Green series is about the trans experience written by a trans woman, but yeah this one can be interpreted many ways

Well, to be pedantic, we’re all African immigrants, just many generations removed. But, yeah.

I wonder if there’s an exact definition of “round”, and if the Earth matches it. I mean, plenty of bumps in this sphere.

1. Condemning the US doesn’t mean uncritically supporting the CCP.

2. China didn’t put my country in a brutal military dictatorship for 20 years.

Olson never misses.

this is basically The Fly

who could’ve predicted this? 🙄

please pick up the manga and read the Hawk of the Millennium Empire arc (Volumes 22-35). only then will you truly hate Griffith.

the first part of the arc has been animated as Season 2 of the 2016 version, but i haven’t exactly heard high regard for that version

FMA fans have precisely one joke, but damn, it’s a funny joke.

gotta say, “shifting into soup mode” gave me a WILDLY different mental image

Didn’t the author end up preferring the movie?

Just looked it up, and the titular Moonraker was changed from a missile to a space shuttle.

Maybe not the worst, but this one’s personal: Edge of Tomorrow’s take on the fantastic All You Need Is Kill (spoilers ahead).

• Making the movie PG-13. In chapter 2 of the manga, there is a brutal death scene showing how Keiji can’t escape the Mimics wherever he goes. The series was quite bloody, and used that to its advantage.
• Casting Emily Blunt as “Rita Vrataski”. One of her defining character traits was that she was unassuming, and that you wouldn’t expect that level of combat skill from her appearance.
• While Keiji was in love with “Rita” in the original, it was unrequited–the change felt actively detrimental to “Rita’s” character.

SIDENOTE: I feel like changing this was sort of unimportant, but you’ll notice I’m using quotes for “Rita”. That’s because, in the original, her real name is unknown. She took someone else’s identity.
