Ra's Al Ghoul is an arabic name and should be pronounced in Arabic, which is definitively not Raysh. All the other names in the League are likewise Arabic, and have (more or less) correct pronunciation. That the orignial creator of the character did not do his research when he invented the character and thus

The story was written in a cringworthy way, the writers twisting the narrative and prestablished character traits to absurd degrees. The only think that make Lexa's death appear necessary is the compeltely innane Arcadia plot, which has developed extremely fast and very poorly. That would be accetpable if, for

This show does NOT know how to kill of characters. Not anymore.

While I find it, if anything, much better this season. Too each their own, I guess. Season 1 was pedestrian comedy, fine but nothing interesting. This season is already transcendant just by the first cold open montage.

That is not even funny.

Redundant? Only if you are not reading absurdly obsessive fanblogs about the show.

The series has been talking a lot about the fact that Gems, when "poofed", can change their form. I think this is foreshadowing for Rose being Pink (or Rose) Diamond but looking very different when she was. At some point before or at the beginning fo the rebellion, she was poofed and remade herself in a new image more

Antrhropocentrism in intelligent alien life is actually very biologically sound. Covergent evolution of intelligent life is much more likely than non-convergent evolution, and it would result in similar shapes.

Brooks was never better than with the Word and the Void, really. Both Running with the Demon and A Knight of the Word were head and shoulders above Shannara in sophistication of characters and storytelling. I am biased though, since I got into his books through that series and was very disappointed with the Shannara

My dayjob is literarly working on a cure for cancer (well, some kinds of cancer).

I think we can confortably apply Strugeon's Law here, 90% of YA is crap but 90% of everything is crap, so there is no meaingful difference.

Daredevil? Which had a trailer filled with horrible cliches about forgiveness and "blind" references. The is pictured where little tiny horns, for crying out loud. That is not trying too hard?

Alias comic spoilers:

I don't get it.

"A fresh take on the genere using the procedural cop format and dialogue" is a contradiciton in terms.

You can't really do that story, since there MCU has no "esatblishment" superhero cummnity for her to be in opposition too. There is no monolithic Avengers that can show up for cameos, or Fantastic Four ex-sidekick to encounter. Even Shield is much less of an established factor, and cross-over between the shows is

Well, that the Homeworld are "jerks" is in no way a surprise, and the show has never hidden it. Already in Serious Steven the murals showcase Gems attacking Rose while she is protecting vaguely humanoid figures. That the Gems are imperialistic, warlike and conquering has been pretty obvious since at around Space Race

Art is not objectivly measured, and as such the subjective experience of it is influenced by the artist and the world at large. Art can be diminished by the artist actions and your knowledge of them. Especially, in fact, in storytelling media like film and books, where the interpretation of the work is in many ways
