My only point has ever been that you, or anyone, singularly, are not the arbiter of whether or not "the narrative sucks." Just as I, or anyone, singularly, would not be the arbiter of it being great.

I really never thought I'd see the day everyone lamented the loss of Disqus.

"That BASICALLY is how I read your position, despite your trappings of verbal civility. Your annoyance is palpable."

Again, I disagree fundamentally with the suggestion that a piece of art (or pop culture, or storytelling, or television, or visual text, or whatever your term of choice) has to succeed with EVERYONE in order to be considered successful. That's an impossible bar for anything to clear.

I feel like this might be a case in which you're equating you not liking something with that thing not being good. But those two things are not the same.

The episode in which Homer becomes a Tomacco farmer?

Six episodes in, I'm enjoying seeing The Defenders come together. (Three fourths of them, at least.)

Lucky motherfucker…

Because he's an idiot.

Pratt was way more than kinda hot in Jurassic World.

I do so dispute it.

I had to watch this episode a second time.
