@ToastyHarder @fantasyfooty So the two black characters are the one everyone thinks is evil and the one that spent a decade in prison? Great idea.

@fantasyfooty Maybe they make Sirius or someone else black to level it out? But still doesn't explain why the golden trio is always suspicious of him. But they might pull it off to where it doesn't seem racist

I'm not against Snape being black in the new Harry Potter series. I'm not against it on principle. There are obviously some pretty awful things and memes being said/shared that are clearly just racist. But it isn't necessarily racist to be a bit annoyed the character has been changed from the book's description, because his appearance carries meaning. 1. Snape is specifically and deliberately described as having "sallow skin" and being "pale." It mirrors the same pale complexion Voldemort has, which is partly why Snape always feels suspicious. They're designed as visual inversions of each other: Snape has a big hooked nose, Voldemort has a flat snakelike one. The whole point of Snape is that he LOOKS like the villain. Everything about his physical description screams untrustworthy. That's Rowling's deliberate misdirection, teaching readers not to judge by appearances. Change the appearance, you risk losing the power of that twist. 2. There's also an irony nobody seems to be talking about. By making Snape the suspicious, untrustworthy, seemingly villainous character AND the only prominent black actor in the cast, you've actually created the exact optics you were presumably trying to avoid. The one black guy is the one everyone's supposed to distrust? How is that progressive? 3. People are making a false equivalence with Hermione being black in the Cursed Child. That's completely fine because the books never say she's white in the text, and it doesn't affect her story either way. Snape's appearance is different. It's written into the plot. 4. The writers now have a real issue down the line. How are they going to portray Snape being bullied when younger? How are they going to portray James Potter suspending Snape upside down with Levicorpus? Surely they aren't going to force racist undertones onto Lupin, Potter, Black and Pettigrew? PLEASE do not turn this into some politically driven TV series where the Marauders' cruelty becomes a racial storyline. That would ruin both Snape AND James.

@Locopells @Sup_TD @Spattergroit900 @angrycarrick @DiscussingFilm The later books were also 3x thicker than the first 2 lol

@Sup_TD @Spattergroit900 @angrycarrick @DiscussingFilm Yeah, it's not so bad with the early books, but the latter ones miss a LOT...

First trailer for the ‘HARRY POTTER’ series. Releasing this Christmas on HBO.

@sc1mc @united @fzimo So you’re talking about a 2 hour flight? 😂 why would a person even need to consider buying the row for a 2 hour flight? And 1st class costs 5-10x for international flights where you would actually need this in my experience.

@JRClemons @united @fzimo On most domestic flights. Why?

The entire row is alllllll yours. Welcome to United Relax Row, three adjacent United Economy seats with adjustable leg rests that can each be raised or lowered to create a cozy lie-flat space for stretching out... You'll also get a mattress pad, blanket and two pillows. If you’re traveling with kids, a plushie too! United Relax Row will be available starting next year on more than 200 of our 787s and 777s, each with up to 12 of these brand-new rows. united.com/Elevated

@sc1mc @united @fzimo In what world is first class only 2.5-3x the price of an economy seat?

@united @fzimo So the answer is obviously yes, but at 2.5-3x the price. Just book first class @ that point.

@gowronseyes @ken_westside @DeIudedShaniqwa @RobProvince Thanks boss

@JRClemons @ken_westside @DeIudedShaniqwa @RobProvince Not his wife, but his people (Irish who were murdered by the English). Native Americans in the movie are vampire hunters chasing after him. The plot is an analogy for colonialism.

This movie is set in 1932 and there’s a woman twerking in modern sportswear. How tf did this garbage get 16 oscar nominations?

@NormalJoe95 @JeffDLowe @ken_westside @DeIudedShaniqwa @RobProvince That’s what I’m saying is that theory adds a deeper motivation for Remmick going after Sammie than just that he likes his music, and it works within the movie.

@JRClemons @JeffDLowe @ken_westside @DeIudedShaniqwa @RobProvince He's a vampire. Vampires in this film share a hive mind and are drawn to music which they consume and as far as we know they genuinely enjoy it. Remmick stated he lost his culture long ago to colonialism. The movie works even in a purely symbolic level.

@JeffDLowe @ken_westside @DeIudedShaniqwa @RobProvince The movie never explains that’s Remmick’s motivation though. He mentions the natives killing his wife when he first shows up at the couple’s house but it’s unclear if it’s true or he’s just saying that to get them to let him in.

@JRClemons @ken_westside @DeIudedShaniqwa @RobProvince You don't even need this explanation. The narrator in this scene literally says exactly that haha.

@ken_westside @DeIudedShaniqwa @RobProvince I saw an explanation that Sammie’s music was able to summon past and future spirits and that’s why Remmick was after him because the Natives killed his wife and he wanted to use Sammie’s music to bring her back. If you think of it that way it makes sense.

@DeIudedShaniqwa @RobProvince I understand the scene. It was still dumb and totally didn’t fit the movie. A guy plays music at a party and people from all different times in history magically appear and start dancing. It was a good film, that scene sucks.

@NickHintonn The cows spelled it chikin because cows can’t spell. That was the joke.

Ok their ain’t no way it’s always been Chick-fil-a. I specifically remember being annoyed by its original spelling. Why did their mascots tell people to eat more chikin? The joke doesn’t even make sense unless it was spelled Chic-fil-a! Did we experience a Mandela Effect?

@RBRRadio_ @BaseballQuotes1 3rd base coach was already halfway back to the bus 😂😂

@BaseballQuotes1 This is why you look at the third base coach for that extra information.

Hidden ball trick to end a game is diabolical

@on_da_spectrum Hey Dudes

What the hell kind of shoes is a 28 year old man supposed to wear. Sneakers/skate shoes feel like that "fellow kids" meme. I'm not wearing boots every day, I'm not a construction worker or a folk singer. Don't get me started on dress shoes. Might as well just buy my funeral tux

@ArbeePoo Why would they care? The only way to lie without them knowing would be if you’re faking poorer vision than you actually have, in which case you are giving them more money than they may be getting otherwise. So again why would they care 😂

how do eye exam doctors know you arent just lying for no reason

@cenblugila It’s cool but you’d never be able to beat a decent pool player with this. You have no way to alter the power of each shot.

This is how “pay to win” literally looks like

@who_shot_jgr @Luke_machado2 My doors open just fine with no power

@JRClemons @Luke_machado2 i'll take my chances with the strangers, at least the doors open on the trolley when the power is out

$250/barrel by next wednesday. $15/gallon, rationed gasoline. the total collapse of car culture and the suburban lifestyle. better rev up those bicycles or get ready to take the fuckin' bus folks

@bigaleboi @who_shot_jgr @Luke_machado2 And now it’s not

@JRClemons @who_shot_jgr @Luke_machado2 surrounding yourself with strangers on a daily basis was considered completely normal up until the invention of cars

@discogenie @who_shot_jgr @Luke_machado2 I promise you you’ve given money to far worse people 😂

@JRClemons @who_shot_jgr @Luke_machado2 you just have to give tens of thousands of dollars to a Nazi, you’re right

@who_shot_jgr @Luke_machado2 A Tesla also comes with a driver and you don’t have to sit on a dirty bus seat surrounded by strangers

@Luke_machado2 oh same but mine comes with a driver

@tomieinlove You’re paying a reasonable amount on a monthly basis so that if an emergency happens it doesn’t completely wreck your financial life.

What exactly is the point of buying insurance? Obviously, I’m going to pay more money than I get back, because otherwise the insurance company wouldn’t turn a profit. But for some reason everyone does it?

@mediumtires It could be that or it could be that software development is the only option that feels like it would create a billionaire

@MetalGearMISTA @Vin_cent00 I think this was more about how seemingly almost none of them died during the Battle of Winterfell that this scene is leading to. There were still an incredibly large number of them a couple episodes later when they had the Battle at Kings Landing.

@Vin_cent00 You all act like the Dothraki just died off along w/ Drogo. Don't you remember when they abandoned him & Dany while he was dying? What about Season 6 when they found her, kidnapped her, & took her to the khalasar? There were hundreds still alive, & possibly more throughout Essos

Somehow there were still thousands upon thousands of Dothraki made it to kings landing, like not one died
