    So many white people. What made me angriest this year the Gods of Egypt movie being whitewashed with Gerard Butler and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. It could have been so great.

      They think throwing us a bone with Elodie Yung (at least a POC) and Chadwick Boseman would be ok. I can never complain about Rufus Sewell in anything, though. -Erica

    So far, the comments section has remained relatively intelligent, although there are those people who will comment on a contentious subject to support it.
