Or that the Satyr goat monster man is just black now. As if his blackness alone makes him wholly other and monstrous.

This reminds me of the Star Trek original series episodes where they get to meet Abe Lincoln or prohibition era gangsters.

I never suggested recreating social interaction in some meticulous way was a worthy endeavor. I posited that a true historically imaginative rendering should have to achieve some reference to tone and dynamics. Deadwood was offered as a good example of something that does this well and … hell … how about Copolla's…

While this is of course true that we don't know all the ins and outs of the most casual forms of human communication in bygone eras we do know a great deal. After all Shakespeare wasn't written for just the literate and upper classes. It clearly was close enough to the common vernacular to have had the impact it did.…

I would definitely include him in the actual cartoonist category and not the "guy who draws a series of splash pages that sorta when put together passes for a comic" category.

Romero is more working in the Mazzuchelli, Darwyn Cooke, Javier Hernandez school of cartooning than an outright Aja take. There are some similarities of course since Aja himself clearly is influenced by those things too. I think Marvel is just committed to doing some of the newer gen small scale comics in a more…

eh … I think Deadwood got it right. Updating the swearing to give a modern audience the idea of the profanity of the historical setting but still maintained something essential about the discourse of its time; namely its cadence and underlying formality. Full scale anachronism just seems lazy at best and at worst…

I don't believe this couldn't get Varga's "relativism" any more wrong. The point of the door is to ask you, "and what do you plan to do about this" or "and where does that leave us at this moment question" not a triumph of relativism.

Mostly just here on the AV Club

Black Widow could be the MCU's 1st dip into an R rating. Explore her life as an assassin and her regrets from it.

eh … the name Wonder Woman has meant many things to feminists of multiple generations irregardless of their attachments to any Wonder Woman comics. They are fans of the symbol she is even if they aren't necessarily engaged with the preexisting material.

Take out 2/3rds of the slo-mo and you might have something here.

I like Allred alot but what's with his characters floating in space so much?

Hear hear. Pounds table.

Specifically in an episode that seemed to tip the hat to Lynch in a few places.

AV Club clearly needs tv reviewers.

Or 2/3s a season and then done.

Thought they should do a series set in 1890.

Aren't we all?

Photoshop is bad. Glad they aren't shying away from the Kirby sci-fi element.
