This. It’s one thing to not like a genre or be concerned about the state of the industry; but demonstrating you can’t discern, say, Fury Road from Venom disqualifies your take no matter what your achievements in the medium are.

I continue to think that the whole idea of a blood feud between Scorsese and Marvel fans is wildly overwrought. Scorsese basically said Marvel movies weren’t movies. A bunch of people disagreed with him — some loudly, some unnecessarily rudely, but that’s life in the NFL. No one tried to cancel Scorsese. No one tried…

None of this works without Iron Man, to the point where the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe was shaped around his worldview, his sense of humor, and his egotism

It’s really not

Nebula should be higher, she might have the best character arc of any Marvel character. And it is amazing that even bald, blue, and made largely of spare parts, Karen Gillan can get it

Misinterprets the passage in question.

I’m charmed, disarmed and agog at another show about people who live in fancy NYC apartments with no apparent means of support

I’ll take disarming charm over commenter forced snark.

I don’t think Davies is taking issue with the scene itself or its execution, but the reaction to it. Calling it “groundbreaking for Disney” feels like we’re purposefully lowering the bar so we can shower them with undeserved praise. Why not call it “notable” or “overdue”? It’s 2022 FFS.

Oh for fuck’s sake.  You anti-vaxxers are loons.

Anyone who isn’t finding value in the gamepass is bonkers-crazy-pants or has already spent their money on every game to come out each month. As someone on a tight budget, there is at least one game announced each month that pays for the whole subscription. I can understand un-subbing because you just don’t have the…

I was so bummed they killed Ben Urich. He’s genuinely one of my favorite Marvel characters, and there’s so much you can do with him. The Netflix shows were so short-sighted.

I saw that the hashtag “NoJohnnyNoPirates” was trending after this news broke, and I think that’s the sort of future we can all get behind. No Johnny Depp, and No Pirates movies, thank you very much.

That’s kind of the problem in a lot of dramas. They think it is more relatable if characters “show they are human” by caring more about their personal life than their job. The problem is that it matters what the job *is*. Being a leader of a country is one that should take precedent, as you mention, but there are…

Be interested to know how much of the show Jerry West has actually watched.
He doesn’t come over very well at the start, to point that he is introduced with a caption along the lines of calling him an asshole.
But he’s evolved into a far more sympathetic character. A man like the real West who clearly loves the team…

I love old men complaining on the internet about young people music that is popular. You’re not out of touch and grumpy about no longer being the target demographic. You just have superior taste. That must be it.

for the couple to walk off into the sunset together?

Why did you even bring up her race? I read it in a few rags, like The Sun. The LA Times reports her camp is denying it. But we all know what it often is when someone famous uses the “time with the family” card.

I can kinda see where they’re coming from on this one, to be wholly fair; I’ve no problem with the AV Club running loads of stories about this, a major movie star smacked a comedian in front of a televised audience of millions, that’s their bread and butter. But the eye-rolling aloof “we’re so above talking about this,…
