"With this single movie, the trend toward “serious” superhero stories officially achieves entropy."

The Nolan Batman films have, to my mind at least, proven that multiple villains in one movie works just fine if you handle them well. Spider-Man 3 wasn't bad because of the number of villains, it was bad because it didn't know how to tie all three of them into a good, cohesive story. This movie already seems to be a…

I thought Spider-Man 3 completely ruined the Harry Osborn story line. They needed to get him out of the way for a while so they resorted to the laziest plot device they could think of and gave him amnesia until the script needed him to be bad again. He and Peter go from being enemies to friends 3 times throughout the…

I really don't see why people want Spider-Man back at Marvel so much. I mean Thor 2, Iron-Man 2, The Incredible Hulk, those are very mediocre films to me. Not everything Marvel touches is gold and outside of The Avengers and Ironman 1, I'd put the Amazing Spider-man on par with the rest of the Marvel films. I guess…

Yeah, ever since I learned the story behind Wonder Woman's origins, its kind of hard for me to view her as a serious dramatic character, even a mythic one, and not just a personal sexual fantasy.

"I'll never stop believing that it would have been better had they done a movie solely set in the original time rather than the Beyond setting."

Nolan's films are truer to the comics (though he also takes many liberties) and there are many story elements that he lifts straight out of some of the most popular Batman stories. The League of Shadows (League of Assassin's in the comics) are fairly important in some of the later Batman stories. That being said, I…

I'm guessing it'll be this episode vs Ozymandias to see whether Cranston or Lewis takes home the gold next year. I'd have to give it to Cranston again, and seeing as how next year will be the last time to honor him as Walter White I imagine he'll win, but Damien Lewis put on a hell of a show tonight.

Brody has always been the emotional core of this show for me. We can argue all day that it should be Carrie who fills the role, but that simply hasn't been the case. That Andy Greenwalt article is pretty spot on in terms of why Carrie hasn't been working as a protagonist and without a compelling lead I've found it…

" the story of a bunch of rich white people in the 1960s isn’t terribly interesting…"

I think Rick became worried about Carl after he shot one of the Governor's goons last season. Carl claimed it was necessary, but Hershel said otherwise so Rick is becoming uneasy about what Carl is turning into even though he realizes that self protection is necessary. Rick being worried about Carl probably also…

I can only assume that something about the zombie bite speeds up the already dormant infection inside of you up causing you to turn, whereas normally the infection won't completely take ahold of you until after you die.

This episode really reminded me of how much I preferred the more mythological, adventure tone of the original series to the more "modern" tone of the newer one which is much more centered in one place. I've also seen people on other sites theorizing that the show is hinting at Korra being the last Avatar. That the…

"Like when he conveniently befriends the forest spirits, randomly decides to stay with them for a couple of years, and for no reason that's ever explained spends all his time doing fight training with his firebending, which the spirits apparently really dig."

Her reasoning is still idiotic. The hood warned her father what was happening and ultimately reduced the damage that Merlyn did if only a little bit, not to mention all of the times he helped the city before. He in no way made things worst or contributed to what happened though shes acting like he did.

Arrow's ratings are really good for the CW, in fact its pretty much cemented itself as one of their three flagship shows along the Vampire Diaries and Supernatural. But it only gets about 3 million viewers per episode plus about a 1 in the key 18-49 demographic. I'm just curious as to how they can produce shows like…

Seeing Kelly Hu on this show just reminds me of how much I miss seeing her on Young Justice where her character was much more interesting.

-I'm not sure I like where they're taking Laurel's character. Her reasons for turning against the hood seem pretty idiotic, irrational, and inconsistent with her character last season. How many times did he save her life? Yet shes made because he couldn't save Tommy? She and her father have essentially switched roles…

I don't think Boardwalk Empire is interested in making any sort of grand statement about those things. Even in its dealings with race this season its only interested in it in so far as it relates to the rising power of black Harlem gangsters and what people like that might think of someone like Chalky White and the…

"And by then, it's too late for us to say, "Oh, well, now—*that's* too much." Like Jesse—who becomes our surrogate—we can't just jump ship when things go wrong. Because they've been wrong from the get-go."
This is possibly the best summary of Breaking Bad I've seen. Its funny to me when people say, "Yeah, I rooted for…
