I mean, I took that to be sort of the point of the exercise. The finale was smart in that, instead of punishing Walt by not letting him get what he wanted, they punished him by showing us how awful his dream was. He’s unable to see his family, unable to be anything more than a monster to anyone he’s ever known. His…

Seriously, I stopped watching in season two and still stopped and got angry when I saw it.

By that logic the only problem with the portrayal is that it’s a white voice actor...which seems...problematic based on the arguments presented.

I suppose. I just feel like if we grant there is a problem, then fixing it now doesn’t really change that in its heyday, Apu was what Apu was. I mean, political correctness, even when it’s clearly in a moral direction, isn’t an easy thing for media. If history of pop-culture teaches us anything, it’s that a lot of…

I think the myth of the uniform white experience is one of the most ridiculous of our time. I get that people of lighter skin are better off, but how is my cushy life in the middle class anything like my dad’s life growing up in the slums in Philadelphia or his grandfather’s life coming here from Italy. I don’t doubt,…

I mean, enough has been said on both sides that I won’t re-iterate anything here, but at this point, who really cares? He said his bit, Simpsons said theirs, it remains a middling cartoon far past the point of being socially relevant anyway. Fans will always have the classic Apu episodes, socially conscious critics…

Wrong thread, bra. Legion is over there.

Farm animals?

Penn pens putrid pile of puerile plots and pretentious parts and personally produces practically paralyzing purple prose with particularly pandering panache. People painstakingly partake in Penn’s polemic poem which precedes the pyrrhic peace of parting page. A painful psychotic plea or proper portrait of psychosis?…

It’s fine man. It’s nice to meet reasonable people like yourself but at the same time, I’m used to this sort of toxicity from AV Club which is why I’ve learned to stay way.

I’m well aware.

A few comments below yours “That’s a great argument to centuries of murder and oppression due to an overly zealous relationship with your imaginary friend.”

I mean, actual comment from this thread “So close to a hundred. A hundred years of believing in something that doesn’t exist”

When you die, do you really think your life will have prepared you at all for what’s next? At best, we don’t know. There’s no reason to be an asshat but because some people believe in things you don’t.

I don’t know what I believe but I hate when faith is derided as delusion by internet lackwits.

You know, I’m not a big fan of Billy Graham. I grew up Christian and he represents a side of Christianity I’ve never much cared for. At the same time, the vitriol in this comments section is disgusting. Celebrating the death of anyone is pretty nasty behavior and celebrating the death of someone who is at worst a…

It never does.

Hey guys. Just wanted to drop in and say goodbye. Your conversations have been one of my favorite things about being a comics fan for the last four or five years but I don’t like what AV Club is like right now and beyond that, I think Kinja has killed our little community (prior to my comment there have been a total…

Can't get a good version on mobile.

Well y'all, it's come to this
Kinja's here to stay
And I'll leave you not with goodnight kiss
I'll say goodbye my way
