Don't forget the 8 year gap between the second and third movies.

Hickman's one of the only FF writers who could argue that point.

Uhhhh, it's obviously because gifted people risking their lives and self-interest to protect other people is Objectivist!

We also have to consider that the movies' being bad has hurt the audience for the books, even beyond Marvel's fuckwithery.

Hickman in no way said that Marvel "is trying to tank the property so bad in comics and merchandise that it’s worthless to Fox."

Oh, you're definitely right about how it was intended, haha (the RSC production I saw also portrayed Antonio as in love with Bassanio, who basically used him as a sugar daddy).

I got there after Will Anett and Amy Poehler separated.

Honestly, I feel like Donna and Yaron brought down FDOC far more than they did this season, where they're just weird side characters.

Oh, Shylock's definitely not the good guy. He's just not particularly the villain, either.

Best line from that review:

…that's actually not true at all.

"We made fun of his hair. We made fun of his skin. We made fun of his hands…and now he's president.

I'm sore-ry that happens to yez.

To the point where Ethan Hawke is criminally underrated to this day!

Yeah, I've seen MoV performed, and Shylock is far from the villain of the piece.

More importantly: He was wrong about Wet Hot!!!

Luckily, Mark McKinney has earned a lifetime pass thanks to Slings and Arrows.

Still annoyed that it got a series order over The Cosmopolitans…and a third season over Alpha House.

I'd never really thought of her as "beautiful" either, until I was flipping channels one day and saw an early Friends re-run.

And it works for the plot, too!
