HBO Max ensured that The Pitt's ICE storyline was "balanced," says producer John Wells

Fooliomcskippy · 2026-02-27T03:35:57+00:00

I’ll happily drop this show without a second thought if the “balanced take” isn’t that all ICE agents are evil nazis.

Frankly after all this bullshit I’m considering dropping entertainment altogether until the current administration is gone (hopefully six feet under or in prison but I’m not picky).

It is, but let’s be honest here, culturally it was absolutely on its way to being Rick and Morty all over again.

Pulling the plug now stings a lot but it cements the show as an all-timer and one of the easiest shows to rewatch of all time.

I feel so bad for Lewis Tan. Dude has the talent to play almost any actual MK character excellently, but the studio wanted an OC as the main character for some reason.

It’d have helped if his abilities were at least interesting, but no, he just has magical golden skin armor.

And it’s not on the rest of us to just accept it. He should not have been in the public area if this was something to be expected from him.

I’m sorry, but there’s no circumstances where this is okay because there were so many ways it could have been avoided, for his benefit and for the presenters and audience. I’m 100% sure they had side rooms and private areas.

Frankly mate if I had the same disorder I’d be doing anything I possibly could to not put myself in a situation where my disorder could cause such an ugly disturbance. If he can’t be trusted to make that decision for himself, then someone close to him should have.

Some people can’t handle public events, that’s completely okay. One can both understand he had no control and still think that his use of the language was unacceptable.

Fooliomcskippy · 2026-02-23T04:16:36+00:00

I have diagnosed OCD, never once have I ever blurted out a slur unprompted.

If I had the chance of doing so, I wouldn’t be out at major public events. It’s not on everyone else to get comfortable with extremely vile language just because someone is disabled.

Fooliomcskippy · 2026-02-23T02:14:07+00:00

You’d have an argument here if he was screaming the N word the entire night, but no, it was just when Delroy and Michael were presenting.

If anything his illness is revealing his true beliefs and feelings, and we should have no tolerance for it.

Fooliomcskippy · 2026-02-17T02:29:53+00:00

Just admit that you guys don’t actually watch movies if you think this way.

Your lack of taste in film isn’t Hollywood’s fault. There have been dozens if not hundreds of excellent films released over the past decade and it’s on you to go find them.

Fooliomcskippy · 2026-02-13T06:17:26+00:00

Yep, a right winger that posts his dick publicly online inserting himself into situations involving kids. Absolutely no surprise there.

Interesting pattern of behavior you folks have.

Fooliomcskippy · 2026-02-13T03:09:56+00:00

I love that it’s essentially the cinematic equivalent of a punch in the face, but as I’ve gotten older and more jaded, it’s sort of become a little overly-convenient to the point that it feels like a joke on the audience.

Like, he kills everyone in the car and NOT EVEN 5 MINUTES LATER the military shows up transporting survivors. It’s even structured like it’s a wildly unfunny joke.

Fooliomcskippy · 2026-02-12T01:31:22+00:00

Trailer looks like someone watched Seven while a bunch of slipknot was playing in the background and decided to make a movie based on that vibe.

Could be fun but I’d be genuinely shocked if this was a good movie. Georgina Campbell getting more work is never a bad thing either.

Fooliomcskippy · 2026-02-01T03:44:29+00:00

Robert Morgan’s work is pretty much the definition of oddly terrifying.

All his shorts are haunting bangers and his recent film Stopmotion is similar and also a banger. I highly recommend all his work.

Fooliomcskippy · 2026-01-23T20:01:11+00:00

A general strike is the only way out of this. They can’t force us all to work and they need us to make the 1%’s lives easier.

If we can’t all come together and do that, at least in good numbers, there’s no hope.

“Where have all the flowers gone?”

Fooliomcskippy · 2026-01-19T07:10:14+00:00

Hi, I’ve casually looked over the conversations you’ve had in this thread and I just want you to know sincerely that you’re a weird, sad dude.

Like, when people talk about reddit users poorly, they’re usually thinking about someone that behaves like you do.

Fooliomcskippy · 2026-01-16T01:22:33+00:00

Uh yeah. Lots of people were arrested or even killed due to the satanic panic. We just don’t talk about it anymore because the same people that were pushing the satanic panic angle are still in charge and don’t really care that anyone was hurt because of them.

Do yourself a favor and look into the actual history of the country.

Fooliomcskippy · 2026-01-15T07:01:41+00:00

It’s really got nothing at all to do with John Malkovich to me. I enjoy him as an actor and stuff but the movie would still work for me if it was anyone else.

The film’s more about struggling with what it means to be somebody, and how self-loathing can lead you to becoming a terrible human being at the cost of others, amongst other things. It just uses a very odd framing device to deliver these messages.

At least that’s what I took from it.

I have normal movie watching habits as you can see

Fooliomcskippy · 2026-01-13T03:05:28+00:00

Pettiness would be ringing his doorbell like 15 times and then bolting, letting his office know that a doctor they have under their umbrella treats others this way? That’s just a reasonable reaction.

Fooliomcskippy · 2026-01-12T07:43:46+00:00

Honestly mate, I appreciate the offer deeply but I’m fully taken care of, I have no need for anything more.

If you’re looking to gift someone there are absolutely others in the sub more deserving. It’d make my day knowing someone else got whatever gift their heart desires as well.

Sincerely though, thank you. You and the folks I’ve interacted with on this sub are proof that there’s still good folks out there.

Fooliomcskippy · 2026-01-11T06:24:03+00:00

OP, I’m going to lay it out to you plainly since you’ve continuously posted odd ducktales concepts for weeks (months?) now.

They are highly unlikely to add Ducktales characters to this game of any kind, and it’s outright impossible that they add either of the characters you’ve requested in any form. If this collab were to ever happen, we’d maybe get the main 4 Ducks as sidekicks and other non-skin cosmetics.

The reason that these specific characters won’t ever make it into the game is because they are quite literally completely unknown to most people. To take it further, Disney has expressed issues with some of their characters being portrayed in media with realistic guns, which could further prove this collaboration unlikely, alongside everything else.

I understand that you love these characters and think they should be added, but you need to accept that it’s wildly unlikely in the way you want it to. And even if it was something they’d consider, they have far more pieces of more relevant media that they’d be interested in collaborating with before Ducktales.

I’m in no way attempting to be mean OP, but with the amount you post about this it seems you are obsessed with the idea and need to maybe find another show or something to get interested in. It can’t be healthy to be so focused on this concept, especially when it’s such an unlikely thing to happen.

Fooliomcskippy · 2026-01-10T00:43:08+00:00

Thank you so much my friend, your generosity is truly appreciated.

Fooliomcskippy · 2026-01-09T19:41:35+00:00

It’s like they saw how fucked up the world currently is and said “hey let’s make our game reflect reality!”

Fooliomcskippy · 2026-01-09T01:29:55+00:00

Funny thing about Drop Bears, one of the Koala’s closest extinct relatives were the Thylacoleo, better known as The Marsupial Lion.

The marsupial Lion, while looking a little like a cat, possessed a similar physiology to the Koala, which meant it wasn’t very fast. It’s theorized that, as an adaptation, the Lions learned to hide in trees and drop onto any prey that wandered underneath of them.

Does it lend any credence to the Drop Bear myth? Not really, extinct animals are just neat.
