  • I think Lashana Lynch killed her role (positive comment about her acting). I think the story was already facing an impossible climb in being adapted to the modern world.

    The original movie showed that aside from the Jackal being better than competent government agents, there were also practical logistical difficulties trying to find one unknown bad guy in a liberal world. And the internet basically solved all of these.

    • Magical anonymous internet chat that can be carried around on a USB stick. At a minimum that’s a reboot of the computer to run on the USB stick.
    • A wealthy person being traced with publicly available information because I guess they hid their money trail themselves instead of letting a professional handle it. That’s boots on the ground investigative reporters at a minimum looking for a single slip up.
    • So many burner phones.
    • Forged passports that don’t just trigger an alert when the person doesn’t exist on the passport database.


































  • TLDR: One is identifying as a different gender, one is identifying with a different animal.

    It’s in the same paragraph you quoted:

    First, reports of this phenomenon (called therians) is greatly exaggerated. They are often conflated with other groups (like furries). This is pretty clearly a social and psychological phenomenon, not a neurological trait, and having nothing to do with a system of neurological development (influenced by hormones, for example).

    To the best of our knowledge, hormones don’t influence the animals you like or identify with.

    From another source: https://theconversation.com/what-are-furries-debunking-myths-about-kids-identifying-as-animals-and-litter-boxes-in-schools-193908

    Furries don’t identify as animals; they identify with animals. In the same way that cosplayers typically don’t believe they are actually Spiderman, furries don’t think they are their fursonas.

    Is furry an orientation? It’s not. It’s a fandom. However, it’s worth noting there are many marginalized statuses within the furry community. Depending on the study, we find more than 70 per cent of furries identify as LGBTQ+ and more than 25 per cent are gender-identity diverse.
