Fortunately it hit them where it hurts - in the wallet. Capitalism created this mess, and we have to use capitalism to fix it.

The worst part is we aren't even good at it. The nominally communist government in China is doing a far better job.

This reminds me of criticism for Rey from Force Awakens. Spends many years learning about starships by scavenging and repairing them, learning to fight out of necessity, and of course has the magic Force powers to help... Certainly a better training regime than moisture farmer boy got. First thing she does when taking control of a ship is crash it into the ground. Kylo Ren engineers situations to help her learn some basic Force techniques, and then easily bests her in a fight. Somehow this makes her a Mary Sue and a total travesty.

It's clickbait. Lots of money to be made ranting about how DEI and wokeness has destroyed yet another beloved franchise.

It's a general problem with stories involving Kryptonians. They are so powerful that the writers always have to find ways to weaken them, or invent a similarly powerful villain to oppose them. That's why kryptonite was originally invented.

Like many comic book stories, you have to suspend your disbelief a bit. None of it makes sense from a physics point of view, any more than most of Star Trek or Star Wars does.

Chinese companies (not the government) are doing what they always do. Refine the technology, and make it affordable. Get it running on lower end hardware, leverage the massive amount of cheap and clean renewable energy they have, push for volume over premium pricing.

They keep doing it in different industries and most Western companies seem to only be capable of whining about it, rather than competing.

I'm not sure you've ever... read a book, frankly.

When a woman writes a bad script it's DEI. When a man does a bunch of neckbeards yell about how it's the producer's fault akshually and if only the director could release his cut then there'd REALLY the great film we know it must be.

You know, the Snyder cut. That hot mess.

So capitalism doesn't work? There's a Dow-Jones cabal propping up their share price while they burn money being woke? What on earth do you think is going on here?

Apart from a persecution complex on your side of course.

The look was one of the things I liked about Master of the Universe

Masters of the universe. That 's' is surprisingly important.

We already have Superman for that, she doesn't have to be just a female version of him. She was older when Krypton was destroyed and didn't have Clark's wonderful parents to raise her.

I've noticed that there have been a lot of criticisms lately that boil down to "it wasn't made specifically for me, therefore it's terrible". Starfleet Academy got the same thing. I'm not the target audience by decades, but I was able to enjoy it anyway. Unfortunately the reaction to this is that anything half good tends to get cancelled, and we end up with generic slop that tries to please everyone and upset no-one. The current state of Star Wars is a great example of that, especially Ahsoka.

Social media and outrage farming has created a really nasty feedback loop.

Apparently it's only loosely based on the comics, and the ending is different. Thing is, some reviewers I find I generally agree with have said it was decent enough. Not as good as Superman, but not terrible either. Reminiscent of 90s stand-alone superhero movies like Blade.

I tend to be sceptical of "bad writing" these days, because it's the standard generic complaint made by people who don't have genuine criticisms. I haven't seen it so can't comment on the look, but unfortunately a lot of modern movies do look quite bland and dull. The look was one of the things I liked about Master of the Universe, which pitched itself just right to be enjoyable, a lot like Gunn usually does.

Houses in Europe were built for a different climate. Changing them now is going to be tricky, but we will have to find ways of doing it. For apartments that probably means lots of AC boxes on the roof and additional pipework on the outside.

It's hard to tell if they are talking about the power output capability of these systems, or the storage capacity. It could be either.

Right so you do think Americans are shit.

Personally I don't.
