It doesn’t even seem to be beating it in terms of individual viewers as it hasn’t hit the peaks One Piece has on Netflix’s top-ten lists that they release. It’s a nine-season show, as others have pointed out, with way more hours of available episodes than One Piece has right now.

Leave it to AV Club to take the obvious success story of there finally being a decent live-action anime adaptation on Netflix, so much so it’s getting another season, and instead posting multiple articles about how the Suits ratings are beating said live-action anime adaptation.

If everything was a long long time ago, does that mean all of them are prequels to Earth-based movies?

Participants in Ender’s Gameshow didn’t realize they’d really be remotely slaughtering legions of sentient organisms...

This pairs well with Musk didn’t invent the electric car, the makers of the EV1 are far more advanced and sophisticated than this latest attempt.

Yes, because the straight characters are never exposed to utter horrific tragedy. What is it you want, a celebration of homosexuality with a rainbow cake and legions of men in assless chaps all in a parade that would rival any San Fran affair?  The reality of most historical cultures is that they did NOT embrace such

This is a headline news article about... a rehash of an anecdote that’s been known for years. You can find an IGN article that covered this back in 2014, and can probably go back farther if you so bother.

It’s the breathless treating this as something revelatory that I find so vexing.

Why?

The best thing about Picard has been the Red Letter Media reviews of it. There’s a real air of sadness in it as two middle aged men try to process the grief they are feeling because they’ve fallen out of love with something that they’ve been passionate about since they were kids.

Thank God the people that made this thing I loved are nowhere near it anymore...

This comment is going to condemn me to grey forever, but whatever - I don’t like the tone of this piece. It’s condescending, confrontational, but also very shallow. It throws a lot of accusation at a lot of people - Martin, Liu, Beniof & Weiss and Netflix, but it doesn’t give justification for any of it. It doesn’t

“This thing I knew wasn’t possible didn’t happen and now I’m mad.”

You say that now, but you’re actually wrong.

[We see the aftermath of a horrible car crash from above, with a man standing next to the driver’s side window of a smashed-up SUV. We slowly move in and recognize Tony Soprano as he holds his hand over Christopher Moltisanti’s nose and mouth, and watches as Christopher suffocates.]

Honestly the shallowness of it all seems appropriate. There’s no “there” there to these people. They’re just a bunch of brutes. Making Dickie a caricature — the kind of guy for whom you look at Tony and his empire and the mythos they’ve invested in Dickie and say “Him?”... couldn’t be more true to life. 

It died on the vine.

+1 for “dry snitching”.

There’s really not much of anything here. The headline and the beginning of the story made it sound like Erin from The Office was burning crosses and shit. Nope, she attended some corny debutante ball thing that has a racist past. Most of the US has a racist past.

So which one of them bit the tiger to make it a zombie?

People keep posting the Simpson monorail clip but the one that’s really relevant here is from the stonecutters episode when Homer takes the private underground tunnel (with fine art on the walls) to go around a traffic jam.
