Thank you for sharing, this does a great job of describing why the show didn't work for me. I'm not going to hide spoilers, because that doesn't work on lemmy across all platforms.

SPOILER

Maybe if I knew she was supposed to become a villain, I could have enjoyed it more. I kept expecting a hero. She's supposed to be brilliant but keeps making really bad choices. And the juxtaposition of her background vs Tony's and the divergent paths they took, doesn't sit well with me.

The side characters were all fantastic. I thought the CGI was fine. It's better at creating technology and magic, rather than biological organisms.

They should have spent more time developing the characters. The ending was so sudden and we have no reason, at this point, to expect a second season, so it becomes an incomplete story, with no character arc.

Only if you want to end up in a vampire orgy. So yes.

There are three kinds of people.

Love her eyeliner.

He refused to leave home without it and the army was like "oh well, what are you gonna do?"

You have no news, just like everyone else.

Dr Seuss was here.

Jokes on you, I can sleep 13 hours a day and still eat six meals.

Thanks for your POV. Your ex sounds just like my friend's ex. I also get silly/Fun with alcohol, it must suck to be an angry drunk.

No we not doing that shit on lemmy.

Check with your library.

No that's Oregon. You're thinking of something that was created from scratch.

Only if I get 6% back in points.

We were never meant to see this, the devs just added it to amuse themselves.

I love when he climbs up on my shoulders because he needs to be more in my face.

Damn that's a photogenic pup.

I'm not sure if you're just agreeing with me, or if you misread my comment. I've stated that their actions should be judged regardless of whether they are impaired.

The book I'm reading (Incognito by David Eagleman) mentioned exactly that.

Robinson and Yarvitz, like many others, suspected that the alcohol had loosened Gibson’s inhibitions and revealed his true self. And the nature of their suspicion has a long history: the Greek poet Alcaeus of Mytilene coined a popular phrase En oino álétheia (In wine there is the truth), which was repeated by the Roman Pliny the Elder as In vino veritas. The Babylonian Talmud contains a passage in the same spirit: “In came wine, out went a secret.” It later advises, “In three things is a man revealed: in his wine goblet, in his purse, and in his wrath.” The Roman historian Tacitus claimed that the Germanic peoples always drank alcohol while holding councils to prevent anyone from lying.

But there are many things that people have "known" for years that turned out to be untrue as our ability to understand the physical world increased. Now we're finding that our unconscious mind accounts for more of what we think than our conscious mind can control.

My point is about how we judge people: we should judge their actions. But many of us also judge their thoughts. Many people concluded from that incident that Gibson was inherently racist and that his apology and defense of his own thoughts were meaningless. I know there have been other incidents with him, which is why I just wanted to use that one incident as an example.

Mel Gibson is not guilty for having antisemitic thoughts, but he is responsible for expressing them.

Yes, this is where I'm at. I . . . don't know what to make of your second paragraph.
