  - subtitles or dubbed? the dubbing made me stop watching it it was so fucking terrible -- nm - Beaker Oct 6, 15:41 5
    - Anime fans long settled the subbed vs dubbed debate years ago, I’d hope. Subbed is the only way to go. -- nm - Qale Oct 6, 16:19
    - subtitles. It's a really good show. But episode 2 is where they give the characters depth. I will say if you hated Battle Royale and The Raid.. - Remlik Oct 6, 15:46 2
      - How about the British short film The Finishing Line, about not playing around trains. -- (link) - Qale Oct 6, 15:59 [vimeo]
      - I loved both of them, especially Battle Royale. -- nm - The Allfather Oct 6, 15:49

- Fire her. Re-cast and move on. -- nm - Jovian Oct 6, 15:28 9
  - She just signed a multi-movie contract with them about a month ago. So, I think this report is wrong. - The Allfather Oct 6, 15:34 6
    - The og article comes from Hollywood Reporter I wonder if they just aren't reposting the stories from last year -- nm - Remlik Oct 6, 15:50 4
      - It could also be they aren’t going to burn down a bridge with another woman over a temporary issue. Hell Covid might be gone by the time BP2 hits. - Will Hunting Oct 6, 15:52 2
        
        She's been on her anti-vax crusade for more than a year. I don't know how "temporary" that is. -- nm - Edward Havens Oct 6, 16:18 1
        
        Shuri as a character is a decade long character...if we're still Covid'ing in 2027...we're fucked as a planet. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 6, 16:30
      - What they're reporting is that she's spouting off on the set, which tells me she is vaccinated, just mad about it. -- nm - The Allfather Oct 6, 15:51
    - Ooh, if this is a lie, that would not sit well with Disney lawyers, I would think. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 6, 15:35
  - If she's actually refusing to get vaccinated, yes, absolutely. If she's vaccinated but just spouting off ... maybe not. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 6, 15:33 1
    - If she's just spouting off, but also a TERF, then yes, turf her -- nm - Beryllium Oct 6, 15:34

The other thing that gets me about all of these NFT scams is how profoundly shitty the art is - Reagen Oct 6, 14:53 8

- This would be the other side of the coin for the joke I mentioned. 16x16 pixel generative art. Pretty much guaranteed to be shite. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 6, 14:55
- CJ is looking into doing it with a project and she looked at other topics in the area of art - Remlik Oct 6, 14:54 5
  - Weird that producing art for the specific reason of making money doesn't create good work. -- nm - Reagen Oct 6, 15:23 4
    - That's my Sarcasm-O-Meter 3000 going off -- nm - con_carne Oct 6, 16:14
    - tell me about it! -- nm - Van Gogh Oct 6, 15:49
