I was listening to an episode of "The Flophouse" in which they complain about casting Kreuk as Chun Li because "she does not look believably Chinese." This confused the hell out of me, because Kreuk looks very Asian to me, not at all like Skye's actress, who has that same sort of "oh, I see it now" quality that my…
I honestly wouldn't be shocked to see Marvel completely re-write mutants out of existence during Secret Wars, and have the X-Men take up a dramatically different purpose/meaning/existence.
I've never been a fan of Quake simply due to her awful stint as Director (she's still fired for that right? God bless you Maria Hill), but I'm completely okay with this happening here as long as they don't suddenly decide to have everyone following her.
Royal Flush, Straight Flush, and Four of a Kind!
I guess we're just looking for different things, because what you're describing sounds like something I would not enjoy. The way it was done here allowed the story flow cohesively from one trope to another, showing them in a modern format that they've never been done as before. The stuff with Charlie Day and Ron…
"Edwards wasn't just copying the first Godzilla movie. He was copying all of them in pieces and parts. "
"Fans had expectations, and he played with those."
I dunno, it gets attention from the critics here and in a lot of other places (e.g. hitfix), indicating that it's got a fairly wide "talk-base".
I don't understand your Jaws comparison whatsoever. How can an original deconstruct itself?
Ahhh The 100 the show that everyone seems to like except me. I won't fall for your trap again this year 100! This year I'm okay with being at odds with the critical consensus and will not try and convince myself that you are an okay show!
How was Godzilla not about trying to be clever with the genre? It used Godzilla so little that the movie was almost a deconstruction.
The script was fine. It was ultimately a "mood film" and a re-creation of classic tropes, and it accomplished its job perfectly in that regard. You may as well criticize Hobo With a Shotgun for looking too much like a Grindhouse exploitation film.
Now that he's accomplished his homage, I expect that del Toro will…
I saw on a poster that the pre-existing characters in this show are owned by DC, but Warner Entertainment owns the rights to every new character (e.g. Fish Mooney). That seems strange to me; I don't know much about the production background to this show… does it actually have a good spate of people involved in the…
"What's the point in having character development on a show that is literally about the development of the main characters?"
"I don't know—do superhero comics, especially when they begin, have multidimensional characters, and ones we care about? "
SG:U was so great by the time it ended…
Are you faulting a criticism site for engaging in criticism?
I quite enjoy the show!
I've become accustomed to Selfie's face, so I hope that it sticks around.
TAL isn't strictly journalism either though :( You'll never see such a thing on CNN.
