It’s not just an “all hope is lost” finale, but it’s also an “every character is either dead, doomed, or lost” finale.

...and played in the crummy Kick-Ass movies by Chloë Grace Moretz

Speaking of vocal performances, I think Nat Faxon is trying a little too hard to sound cute as Elfo. Like he’s doing a James Arnold Taylor impression.

True. It took a while for Steven Universe to get going.

And the Simpsons didn’t really become itself until season 3.

Hell, the first season of the Simpsons was weak, and the first season of Parks and Rec was downright dreadful.

Ah yes, the Draco Malfoy method.

“At the senior staff meeting, Ivanka couldn’t stop bemoaning it, how offensive it was, how ridiculous it was. We’d all been subject to SNL attacks … We’d all been hit, many of us in that same week’s show. But Ivanka would not stop talking about being ribbed.

Wario: It pains-a my heart to see-a my beloved relatives slain in their prime. Wah. But, as your new rulers, We assure you, their-a sacrifices will-a not be in vain.

They made Flash look like something out of the Power Rangers reboot.

Hell, I can’t believe they “killed” Superman in what was only his second appearance, or that they did a Suicide Squad movie before Wonder Woman or Justice League, and they decided to do all these things in what was only Phase One (Suicide Squad and Death of Superman are things you wouldn’t do until way later on).

Definitely. I think once the MCU started, and showed people that comic book movies could actually be faithful to the source material and work, fans stopped settling for just anything.
