It's some truly marvelous acting all around. The fact that Hutt can connect with an audience separated by time and space is astounding.

It blew my mind. And now I have to deal. With. That.

Agreed. This is what I love most about the AV Club, getting introduced to series (or movies) that I would have overlooked (or not known existed at all).

@avclub-fc234124d1d8a21900cb7e428a012fa4:disqus Weisman, you say? I'm intrigued.

Oh damn! That sounds really interesting, I'll definitely have to get those single issues. Thanks, @avclub-ec581d0fa82907dc6f58d1e70bf346b0:disqus

@avclub-ec581d0fa82907dc6f58d1e70bf346b0:disqus I figured they're all noirs. I might have to check out some of those single issues.

No movie essays in the trades, sadly. I didn't even know about them until you brought them up.

DeConnick keeps things light, but also high-stakes (if that makes sense)…

I'd be up for a Captain Marvel/Spider-Woman buddy cop comic.

Wait, have you not read Criminal yet? Oh, man… just, oh man.

The "two leads who have an antagonistic relationship and eventually come to like one another" is so goddam played out it's kind of sickening. Maybe we could have a movie where the heroes get along?

@gambrinus:disqus Well, looks like I blew my webbing on that previous comment and now I've got a bit of a mess on my hands.

Point taken. (I'm assuming you're being sarcastic, unless you actually enjoyed the new Spider-Man).

I don't know if I'd even want to approach comparing this and Mask of the Phantasm, especially since they both have very different goals. It's comparing a high-spirited action movie to a moody noir.

That would make too much sense, I guess.

I like Catherine, not as a person but as a character.

To be fair, there's no clean way out of that awkwardness. You might as well enjoy some cake while the other person deals with their (mild) psychological trauma.

Maybe the next time there's a major release based on a TV show.

It's, like, deep and stuff.

I agree. Especially since the show isn't afraid to break away from Ted's point of view (e.g. "Symphony of Illumination").
