Musk demands that Trump send him an email at the end of every week listing 5 fascisms he did that week or Trump loses his job.

Ok the ghosts coming out of the wands thing kinda came out of nowhere, but all they did was tell Harry to run away. It's not like they had a massive impact on the fight.
They set it up at the beginning of the movie? How is that a deus ex machina?
I also wouldn't be surprised if he just wanted to conquer an independent nation just for like chest-bumping, wanna-be strongman reasons.
Rowling was writing about grade school kids going to school. Grade school kids get bored at school. If they live in a world where everyone uses magic and it's not that special they're going to get bored of learning about magic sometimes. It's like if in grade school our teachers spent a bunch of time teaching us how to use computers, phones, and other technological devices. Sometimes it would be cool and interesting and a lot of the time it would be pretty damn boring.
Plus Rowling wanted the grade school kids reading her books to relate to her characters, so she gave her characters a schooling experience they could relate to. And as much as I hate Rowling, there's something inherently kind of comedic about a bunch of kids being bored silly learning about magic because it's something that seems like it should be exciting to us, the reader.
The boredom of the characters isn't a failure of the writing or magic system, it works perfectly well for its intended effect.
There's nothing wrong with the magic system because there's always a reasonable setup and payoff for what can be done with magic and solutions never come out of nowhere as some deus ex machina. The magic system the stories had worked perfectly fine for the stories that were being told. Not every magic system has to be some stupid overly explained BS that takes all of the actual wonder and "magic" out of it.
Rowling is a piece of shit terf but you Sanderson cultists are still so fucking annoying. There's more to magic in storytelling than just the exact, specific mechanics of how it works. Read Earthsea.
Far and away the best of the JP/JW movies. It's a fantastic movie.
Good sci-fi is usually allegory
Oh no he pretends to be balanced to some degree but he's completely bought into the maga propaganda. He may be a useful idiot, but he's a useful idiot who is all in 100%. They're not mischaracterizing him at all.
Bannon is smart enough to know it's all a means to an end but nobody's going to him for reassurance. Especially not Musk. Bannon loves shit talking Musk.
The only people who are dying are those who are trying to defend their country from a mad man intent on concurring them and those who are fighting in support of that mad man's goal. Ukraine does not want to bow down to Putin's tyranny. Putin should leave Ukraine to the Ukrainians, then the killing can stop.
Whatever the reason is I just hope he doesn't suddenly turn and start supporting MAGA at some point. God knows he's corrupt, the shit he's doing and been trying to do here in Ontario is absolutely awful.
If I have to deal with another 4 years of Ford at least let him keep up the fight against Trump and his administration.
I mean yeah that was the point. He was calling out a dictatorial government for dismantling necessary government programs and institutions that tons of Americans rely on until they removed him from the room. Which is awesome! It's the kind of shit more Democrats should be doing.
Him getting removed isn't the problem, it was the fact that 10 cowards from his own party voted to censure him for it and a bunch of other Dems sat by and did nothing.
