Yes, but that was also true of Monarchy once.

So you drew this comic? I really dig your art style.

Indeed, I find it odd that this observation is framed as calling out misogynistic filmmakers. These examples all seem like the filmmakers are calling out misogyny in society.

I was really hoping they were going to use Flashpoint to do this. I was let down, but now that it seems we haven't seen the last of Flashpoint's aftereffects, I still have hope. I see no reason to have that one show in a different universe now that they're all on the same network.

And then the instant we all stop wishing for her death after four seasons: she's gone.

I had real turnaround moment when I realized, "Oh my God, this big Diamondback villain is Dunn Pearnsley in full supervillain mode! That is the best thing ever!' followed immediately by, "wait, that is the thing that everyone hates which ruined the series? fuuuuuuuck." I think the showrunners believed they could…

Am I the only person who read the Rival as a joke villain from a temporary timeline? His name might as well be "villain" and he's yet another speedster as a bit of self-depricating meta-humor, poking fun at the show's overuse of Speedster villains. His costume is an obvious parody of Zoom's, or at least that's how I…

If she's not being set up as a villain, then what? If she's an awesome empowered businesswoman and a sometimes ally of our heroes, making the city better by using her company for good, she's basically another Cat Grant. That seems like a strange addition to the cast at this point. I predict one of two possibilities:…

Oh my God, I totally thought they said Gaza, not Gotham, until I read your comment. I thought they were going for a real edgy commentary on drone warfare, in the form of a tossed-off joke. I couldn't believe it wasn't mentioned in the review. Gotham, however, makes much more sense.

Strong beginnings have never been an issue in Netflix MCU series. I'm waiting to see if they've figured out how to avoid their trademark pacing problems later on.

An imaginative screenwriter could use those bones to make a great screenplay. Add some reality-inspired world building, an emotional life and story for the main characters, recreate details from various games where appropriate. It's getting the story that you fit these elements around right that's the issue. And…

Ironic, since those are feminist issues. I wish we'd see more emphasis on the fact that feminism is about ending gendered discrimination for everyone. MRAs (and sadly, some feminists) always want to frame it as a power-grab by women against the interests of men, but it's… not.

I thought it had a great look and atmosphere and started out strong, but then then it just went nowhere in the back half.

It was definitely the best time for the series to lose the thread. Dawn Treader was the last book that needed members of the original cast looking roughly similar in age. The only continuing character in this one is Eustace, and he aged and changed quite a bit between books. The Silver Chair could make a great film as…

Fair enough

The Black Dossier seems to have a bad rep around here, but I loved the story where Bertie Wooster encounters a Lovecraftian Old-God cult. Just the idea cracks me up, but his ability to mimic Wodehouse's prose made it a total delight.

That's why I found it odd that the article acted like the visual Lovecraft aesthetic had been adequately mastered. Really? Show me the graphic representation of non-Euclidean shapes and beings who's proportions cannot exist in only three dimensions.

This was my primary impression of Moses for years, as the guy whose face glowed after he came down the mountain because he actually came face to face with God. I think the way my Dad told it, the implication was that if he had had a greater/longer exposure he would have been annihilated by it, and only someone with…

The essence of the Lovecraftian worldview is the idea that God and the Devil are the same thing. The beyond isn't a dichotomy between a benevolent, comforting creator that will reward good and unfathomable evil that tries to tempt us off the good path and will perhaps reward evil with fleeting and ephemeral power.…

The relationship between Terminator and T2 is similar to the one between Alien and Aliens. The first film in both cases is horror in sci-fi clothing, smaller-scale, and better. The second basically rehashes the first but is full-fledged action rather than horror, is lighter and more crowd-pleasing, has a bigger budget…
