I know this sub is meant for only basketball talk, which is cool. But why are posts removed for joking or trash talking other teams/players, assuming it isn’t overtly malicious. Banter is fun.

Thats like a completely normal reaction from fans of any sport. Go on any team sub from any sport and you’ll find lots of funny posts talking trash about the team/players they just beat. Fandom doesn’t need to be so sterilized. There is room for a bit of fun.

So much discourse over this topic even tho it’s not truly a serious issue.

But I don’t understand why the WNBA doesn’t just say “to be eligible to play in the WNBA you must be a biological female”. It would stop the back and forth in its tracks

Such a savvy move by the Celtics. All they need now is a player like Jaylen Brown and they are right back in contention. Easy

First off, I didn’t think the movie was horrible. It just wasn’t memorable or a movie Id urge other people to see in theaters. It was ok. It legitimately just felt like a random space action movie that happened to include DC characters.

But the outcry of people saying it was doomed from the start and would fail no matter what because of misogyny is a cop out for both fans and the runners/studio. There are clearly issues with the script being so basic and by the numbers and misleading adaptation promotion.

Sometimes a movie just isn’t that good. It’s hard to correct mistakes going forward when you tell yourself it’s all someone else’s fault.

I’ve seen a lot of “who cares how much money it makes, just enjoy the movie” in reference to Supergirl.

And that is the right approach for most movies. You go to see it and you either like it or you don’t. What it does at the box office doesn’t matter.

But with franchises like DCU, box office numbers can completely upend future films. Not just that they won’t be made, but the creative choices get completely reworked in order to boost numbers. It sucks but it’s real.

I just finished Babylon 5 for the first time ever. Just an incredible show and one of the best sci-fi shows I’ve ever watched.

But I legitimately would have dropped it and stopped watching halfway through season 1 if I hadn’t heard “you have to make it through season 1”. It felt almost like a chore but it was so worth it.

What other shows are like that for you?
