Yeah - would agree. I don’t generally vibe with his music or style (in fact, I think he’s one of the reasons fun. shifted so much and lost me on their second album). But great songs stand out. These just aren’t great songs. The job of a producer is to hone what’s there into the best version of itself. Now, whether he…

This. Also, with all its faults, Reputation is a lot more fun than her post-Lover stuff thus far, but I may be in the minority; I just like bright dumb pop music, as opposed to the kind of "deeper meaning" music we're supposed to like. 

This article is forgetting that Antonoff also produced large parts of the wildly acclaimed predecessors to Solar Power and COTCC, Melodrama and Norman Fucking Rockwell. I’m not saying he’s perfect or that I’m a huge fan, but clearly there’s a reason why these artists want to work with him, and the idea that he’s some…

A 30 minute galactic heist movie. Tightly scripted. Beautiful animation. All-star cast. Actually subverted my expectations in a fun way! This was a damn A+ in my book.

I remember when Chadwick was first cast as T’Challa, and he remarked that it was funny to him that he so drawn by the MCU’s humorous tone but he himself was being cast as what would likely be the most serious hero in the setting. I can’t help but think that when they wrote this episode, they wanted to give him the…

I’m not sure what there was to vet. The group exists, it has a terrible history, she attended at least one event, and she was announced Veiled Prophet Queen of Love and Beauty. These are all facts. None of it meant that she was terrible herself, just connected to it. They updated the title to make it clear the group…

I’m sure others have mentioned this, but I agree on the stiffness, although not in the voice performances. It’s in the animation. As vibrant as the images are—and as well as the action pops given the canvas of cartooning—the character animation veers too hard into “realistic.” They just aren’t very expressive. Their…

I’m really curious about what happened to the universe in Cha-Cha’s absence. The Collector’s collection was full of Easter eggs that suggest mass destruction or somehow things getting displaced. Asgard lost both Thor’s hammer and Hela’s helmet? Captain America’s shield? A “chatty” Kronan’s arm obviously refers to…

Believe me, AV Club didn't invent the Ellie Kemper stuff. That started up a day or two before AV Club published anything about it.

I never would have realized that was actually del Toro doing the Collector’s voice without looking it up.

I haven’t watched this ep yet and won’t read the article till I do, but... I am really loving the fact of so many big time MCU movie actors lending their voices to What If. I know it’s an easy money gig you can do in your pajamas and all, but it’s nice to (judging from the first episode) hear in many cases the right…

Fuck sake I need a new site. I haven’t found a site that matches av club, or has the same amount and variety of content.

Let’s be real y’all. The reason we didn’t think it was Benicio Del Toro playing the Collector this time was because we could actually understand what the fuck he was saying. Whatever he’s doing in the live-action is gibberish.

You ever fucking planning on acknowledging that they switched the Captain America thing back? 

While I have enjoyed the first two episodes, I kinda wish this series was more like the comics, in that each story should be a worst-case scenario with a bunch of bad things emanating from the change in the timeline, but ending with a glimmer of hope for the future.

God bless you Boseman, you poured every minute you had in this life to continue making us smile, laugh, and feel inspired.
I’ll take this as a wonderful gift of his legacy.
And that T’Challa Starlord outfit is definitely going to be seen at alot of Cons. 

Yes. Now shut up

I’m halfway through this episode and it’s the most fun I’ve had watching a Marvel thing since Endgame.

I was worried the world had passed me by, but then I read literally every comment on this terrible thing that I’m sorry to admit I wasted time reading, and it appears that everyone has had the same basic reaction, which seems to be some form of “I can’t believe I wasted a part of my life reading and thinking about…
