Does anyone else get a huge kick out of reading in-depth “Parental Warnings” for movies?
I swear, the people who write these must be trolling on some level.
Some highlights from “The Avengers” Parental Guide (spoilers?):
Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking - “A man pours himself a drink (and drinks) and offers an alien deity one (he declines at first, but asks for the drink later).”
Frightening Images - “An alien deity is shown terrorizing guests at a party, gouging a man’s eye out with a device on a table like an altar and forcing all those present to kneel before him; the eye-gouging is very startling and this villain’s mental state (which is significantly unhinged throughout the film, suggestive of mental illness) may be upsetting or frightening on its own.”
Profanity - “1 not fully enunciated scatological term, 1 mild scatological term, 2 anatomical terms, 7 mild obscenities, name-calling.” … I think they’re mostly talking about Tony Stark here :)
Violence - “A superhero tells a large green superhero to “smash” and the large green superhero responds with a smile and begins destroying many alien soldiers; he leaps onto a side of a building and using his fists to smash the heads and bodies of alien soldiers.”
…..I think most of what I find funny about it is how each character is described so vaguely, as if by someone who’d never seen or heard of superheroes before…

Why must goods and services necessary to function in society cost so much? Why?

The only reason “coming out” is still even a thing is because it’s presumed that people are straight until they tell us otherwise. “The Other must identify itself, or else it is decieving us” is a fucked up, dangerous idea.

Actress Lee Yo-Won portraying Queen Seondeok of Silla. The TV series can be watched on Hulu (Korean with English subtitles).
The daughter of a king with no sons, Queen Seondeok was selected by her father to rule the kingdom of Silla (southeastern Korea). Seondeok ruled from 632 to 647, keeping the kingdom together despite attempted invasions from neighboring kingdoms. She also built Cheomseongdae, the first observatory in East Asia.
Queen Seondeok’s successful reign paved the way for two additional queen regents in Silla: Jindeok (647-654) and Jinseong (887-897).
I am a British historian with a strong interest in feminism, forgotten history, the dangers of militarism, sexuality and gender identity, and very good television.
