The best part is always when they say “The network will never put that one on the air.” Except you just heard the joke, so clearly they did.

Melissa Barrera was definitely fired because of that. Jenna Ortega supposedly had scheduling conflicts with Wednesday, but the timing was way too on the nose (it was announced the very next morning). And the director, whose immediate response to Barrera’s firing was to publicly distance himself from that decision,…

That’s not even remotely true.

Hackers steal important information from innocent people either to sell it to third parties or ransom it.

Zaslav met this really cool media company that’s interested in merging, but it’s based in Canada, so you wouldn’t know it.

Really, so it’s not possible for a hacker to access something like a public utility and cause catastrophic damage? I’m no expert on things like that but it certainly seems possible.
And again, he’s demonstrated himself as being highly capable with even minimal access to equipment.
What if he decides he’s done with…

Jordan was an excellent villain in Black Panther, and part of that is that his view of the world was at least a tempting one. But I’ve never bought into the whole “Killmonger was right” discourse that happened when the movie came out. And I think it would be harder to turn the guy who killed Forrest Whitaker’s…

It turns out the real Kang was the friends we made a long the way.

That’s very much a “them” problem. If you stop catering to that crowd over damn near everything, many of these so called problems wouldn’t exist. It’s a movie, not your entire life. Recast and let the complainers shout into the void.

You somehow interpreted “The immaturity of it is far from the worst problem with the behavior” as meaning the behavior should be celebrated?  I’d like to understand how you managed that.

And keep in mind, every bit of this is the stuff his lawyers DIDN’T think was so bad that no one should hear it.

Monica was kind of a nothing character in WandaVision. Teyona Parris did what she could with the, frankly, pretty shitty material she was given to work with and the character ultimately failed to leave an impression

Captain Marvel is not a bad film. It was a pretty standard superhero film with a great performance by Brie Larson, who played an interstellar warrior who actually acted like an interstellar warrior. No cute puns. No flirting with the guys. She embodied violence and I appreciated that. 

In a world where Meet the Spartans made nearly triple its budget, I don’t think “it’s the writing” can be argued at all.

“When it was one movie a year or every other year? People were all about that. When you have to watch two movies a year plus 3 different TV shows to keep current, people tuned out.”

Yeah. Now. I think it can be hard to think back to a time pre-2008 and just what a gamble Iron Man was for Marvel - a B-tier character with an actor who had been best known over the previous few years for felonies rather than films. Hulk is the only one of those four characters who would have had much in the way of…

And imagine the dunderhead logic of pointing to fucking *South Park* to support this argument.

You can’t say it isn’t happening when South Park parodied it

do you know in the Akira movie, Akira isn’t in it at all and is in fact, DEAD! Yet some how, he’s still relevant to the story! Crazy!

I always thought when the TV exec suggests that the characters on Itchy & Scratchy should be asking, “Where’s Poochie?” whenever he isn’t on screen was just a funny bit of absurdity. But I’m realizing that this was actually meant to placate an audience that genuinely wanted to know where Poochie went.
