‘A guy wears jeans and a t-shirt and strums a guitar...’

I enjoyed their first album, twice.  Then I couldn’t listen to it anymore.  Their banjo player seems to only know a few chords and uses it more for rhythm than anything else, and all songs end up sounding the same.  And the lead singer and writer is a wee bit too Christian for me.  

Their folk Nickleback, is all. They aren’t necessarily bad, but they’ve been chosen by the gods to be the scapegoat of ridicule. And that’s okay, it’s not like they aren’t successful.

And part of the fun is a collective culture of meme-hate around them. Not people who’ve generally listed to their whole discography.…

They play the same song. Every time. Some guy starts off slow, and then they build to a crescendo with like 40 people on banjo, and there’s some edison bulbs in the background. It’s like if Dick Wolf started a band.

I love the reading of the line “Did we lose?”

Sure, but Marvel wasn’t exactly doing anything bold or innovative in portraying things the way they did. It was necessary from a storytelling standpoint, n’est ce pas?

You said it far better than I did above. “Proud cynicism” perfectly sums up the type of response I was trying to describe.

In the Winter Soldier, there’s a scene where Cap kisses Natasha and then she’s like “Was that your first kiss since WWII?” Cap doesn’t protest. So he did spend something like two years living in 21st century Brooklyn looking like Chris Evans without dating at all.  He’s had many years to correct that at this point,…

Nick....Furry?

This is actually very much like Season 1 Josh. Before they dated he would regularly be a source of insight and support for Rebecca. (Like when her party was underattended, or when she revealed [part of] why she moved to WC on the party bus.) He was even a good boyfriend the second time they dated, before he freaked…

They should just call it Avengers: Justice League. It’s be nice to see a good Justice League movie.

This is a good analysis.

Agree with the fact that in Phase 3, Marvle has begun to address it villain issue. Perhaps less so for Thor Ragnarok & Ant Man and the Wasp. It’s not harsh to suggest that they progressed enough now that they shouldn’t have weak villians at all now.

Thor and Captain America came out two months apart so I assumed he was putting both of them in the category of ungood and alluding to The Avengers as the streak-breaker.

“And Marvel ended up making a lot of movies built around the central hero and their interactions with other characters, while their villains (not all, to be sure) never really excited anyone.”

This is, like, GoTG/Ronan to a T. 

For me, the first literal edge of my seat moment I’ve ever had was the pencil trick. It was such a clear signal that this wasn’t a kids movie, in any way. I mean, the “Heat” style bank robbery did that, too, but this was a Joker, I’d always wanted. An actual full on terrorist who killed indiscriminately for the…

I’m right there with you with Zemo and Hela. I’ll even fight for the Red Skull.

I gotta be honest, I really like The Incredible Hulk more than most people, so I feel like it only took them another couple of months to make another good movie. 

I feel like Iron Man 2 gets too much hate. Sure, it’s not great, but it’s at least more fun than Hulk and Thor.

I read the comments, and I absolutely can’t wrap my head around how people weren’t losing their shit about Andy Daly. He better come back.
