Congratulations, Evan! I’ve enjoyed reading your comics recaps and critiques since you joined io9, and I’m glad you aren’t leaving. So good luck with your new project, and be sure to give us the skinny on what it is when it’s announced.
I agree, but the people who are hiring him to make movies really just want them to make money. And since he isn’t a good storyteller, and there sometimes other problems with them (as you said, sexism, racism, etc.), they kind of have to be good to look at.
And most importantly: they tend to make gobs and gobs of money.
Yeah well, the Avenger they gave to Iowa is Hawkeye.
I think I went into some kind of trance, and made it through the whole thing.
I cast summon bigger fish!

Actually, Worf used a melee weapon against the Borg in First Contact, too. He used his mek’leth to kill one of the Borg on the deflector dish of the Enterprise, after they had adapted and then he cut it’s arm off and used the unusually long cable attached to it’s arm to make a tourniquet around the hole in his EV…
I honestly thought you were making some sort of weird Archer reference that I wasn’t quite getting, because some others were going along with calling Nancy Cheryl, and others were like “who the hell is Cheryl?”
So are there really so many of us millennials that just us not watching the Olympics lowered the rating that much? Also, sorry we couldn’t spend all of our time watching sports for two weeks. I did watch some of the Olympics coverage, but I do have others things going on in my life than just watch sports (which I…
I want a gorilla city coffee shop.
I’ll only take the pills if they can make me grow a new kidney, or other organs.
