Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, the show that sends you racing to the Great American Songbook in one moment, the DSM-V the next.

Totally agreed. Themyscira looks as widescreen gorgeous as it should. The image of an Amazon (is that Philippus?!) being shot at by a bullet is not just some cool use of slo-mo, it's a moment with huge thematic implications. The industrialised death of the Great War actually manages to make real use of Snyderian

I'll take some neutering of villains if it humanizes them in a thematically appropriate way - it is a very Diana thing to do (really, the ONLY Diana thing to do) to want to end conflict between all peoples, not just win for a particular side.

Well, Brits have been playing rounders for like three hundred years. It's a simplified version of baseball, and, as it's considered a kid's game, probably the biggest reason they sneer at baseball.

All these excellent points you're making fit neatly inside an even bigger logistic hole: why is there virtually zero mission preparation whatsoever? Wyatt's presence suggests at least some level of military involvement; soldiers don't get kittens out of trees without some sort of mission briefing. The show paces

Her name is Maxima and she's a fun character, at her core, as long as the "has a thing for Supes" character beat isn't pushed too hard.

Allison, I couldn't help but think of you during "Maybe This Dream". I read and listened to your and Dominick's ranking of every Disney song over the summer, and it was an amazing, joyous, genuinely moving ride, even to (or likely, especially to) someone not that well versed in the Disney songbook. I really wanted

I have to admit, besides a lot of speculation that I'm currently content to leave open-ended for now, my only real problem with the show is that I think the cast of characters is too small for the premise. Absolutely nothing seems to happen that doesn't revolve around the same five people, and it's becoming

They even put his phony house at Number 6 Village Lane!

Weirdly, the character they used in the Madvillainy homage was Jane Foster Thor.

I discovered her some time ago on YouTube - in the short pieces I saw, she was very intriguing, definitely on the "dark thoughts stream of consciousness" end of stand-up with a lot of self-searching. At times she seemed to ignore audience demands completely, but always seemed to bring it back around to an actual

There's multiple rental units on the property, all of them little one-room rat hovels to house broke, bushy-tailed flockers to Swingin' London that no one will miss.

I'm harder than chessboxing.

If I Drank It

Hey, I've got nearly a decade on you, and while I'm very sympathetic to the argument that Shooter Marvel was best Marvel, I thinK a lot of what's coming out these days from the House is some of the best shit they've ever done. Specifically the idiosyncratic solo books that they've given a long leash to the creators

The simplest explanation is usually the closest to the truth: I think this reviewer just isn't very good.

That's just one of multiple really iffy statements and evaluations in this article.

Look, as someone who's done my fair share of being both employee and employer and dealing with the public in most of them, it always comes down to the people who work there. The staff there seems to give a shit - they treat you the way you want to be treated, and whoever's in the back makes you a good burger. That's

I appreciated that the two finally interacted at all, and that the Phalanx/Technarchy stuff was brought firmly into the rest of Cosmic Marvel, but unless I missed something, there wasn't really any explicit Warlocks/Magi connection.
