Well no, you see, umm… tribes of heathens, original sin, perfect "god's image" man vs animal man, implied proliferation (I don't remember the exact arguments, it all ends with being sent to a priest/counselor's office who tells you to try being silent.. I have selective memory of Catholic school).

Big Picture: It helps paint a better picture of how humanity migrated and integrated throughout history through pure data.

Ummm….racist aliens?

I *may* have been drinking and commenting yesterday. I also just got done writing a few articles about John Wick and am a little over invested at the moment. (note: I still think it could be done well given what they've done so far with their world building and sometimes it's nice to have an internet debate that isn't…

Warwick Davis bickering with Karl Pilkington in Idiot Abroad was obviously the high point of his career. Leprechaun Back 2 Tha Hood is a close second.

You can send any customer service employee into a catatonic state of despair just by muttering the words "Red Hat Society".

Yeah, I remember when the HPV vaccine somehow became "corrupting our precious babies" and having a very fun conversation with my mom ("She's only 11! She's not having sex!) about how she would have to concede that at some point her daughter would be sexually active and this could save her from developing, you know,…

Well that's just stupid.

I think I'm seeing the problem you're having with the story, and honestly it seems to be that the clickbaity title gives the impression they're trying to make The Avengers: John Wick. The actual story is "Studio gives script to producer of thematically similar films, might add connection to existing films", but I…

Fool me once, shame on me, fool me…you can't get fooled again! *sobs*

Eh, if I wanted to watch a dejected man drinking from a bottle of Jim Beam and saying "fuck it" over and over I'd buy a mirror.

Going from "spy movie that may or may not be linked to John Wick" to "Marvel-like cinematic universe" seems a bit of a stretch.

Creating something from nothing is kind of the point of fiction. It's not like all those stories just appeared wholesale one day. Someone wrote a story, then expanded it while laying the ground work of a universe that can contain other stories. So far, John Wick has been sticking with audiences, the only difference is…

Seriously, The Hobbit was a perfect self contained story and then Tolkien just went and fucked it all up with endless sequels and spin offs.

So your argument is that they can't create a universe because no one has created the universe yet? I mean, I'm worried about quick cash grab sequels too, but I'm not against starting small and expanding a story/world in general if it's done well (I can think of one major example that went there and back again.)

Aw man, not only did you feed the troll, but you fed him chips?

People who argue that they're not stupid are wrong 100% of the time.

The real favorite color is the friends they made along the way.

True. I'll amend my statement to "I would not want to claim to have the same depth of knowledge as Looper."

And he was also the only nominee in each category. But we already know the AV Club is not wasting its best and brightest writing headlines.
