This is a review of episode 1 of the crossover. Talking about something from episode 2 is a spoiler...

I saw a funny interview with Jessie L Martin where he talked about how in the scene with all the characters casually interacting it was really confusing to him to try to figure out which characters Joe knew & which he didn’t

Mick stole the show again with the best lines, his reaction to Killer Frost was fuckin hilarious.

“This is Miranda Zero. You’re on the Global Frequency, Kenneth.”

The TV show is a sad story. There was a pilot, which got leaked (maybe to drum up interest), but the leaking enraged the WB so much they canned the whole thing.

Snark and legitimate criticisms about Marvel over saturating us with 20 movies and TV shows a year aside, every member of this iteration of the MCU has been well casted (with Hemsworth, Evans and Downey Jr. especially bringing in all-time superhero performances) and I’ll miss a new movie with one of these guys every…

I don’t understand the “don’t show Hulk” argument. I guarantee that a ton of people went to see Thor 3 based on the Thor/Hulk fight in the trailer, and that “He’s a friend from work” line really helped. On the flip side, DC decided to not show Superman in their ads for Justice League, and you know they regret it now.

The squeal I made when I realized they finally used Immigrant Song in the Thor franchise was higher than the human ear can discern.

I’m joining the write-in vote for Thor. Waaaay better than It.

No love for the Thor trailer which was just a pure 80's cheese fest?

Sneaky Immigrant Song intro, Mjolnir shattered, Hulk, Thor’s reaction to Hulk. There has never been a better trailer.

He went in Opie and Anthony one time some reason and it was so awful.. he had no sense of humor and they had no idea what to say to him. I don’t even think they were being their usual dickish selves because they liked cheers. It made me sad

Well said.

It’s also interesting how many people seem to have forgiven it for its role in selling the second Iraq war. A pretty incredible quantity of blood is on its hands.

I got a subscription to a couple of newspapers after the election but NYT was not one of them. I know there were lots of mistake that all the papers made in giving Clinton more negative Coverage than Trump but NYT was the worst of them.

Serious question: was there really not ANYONE at NYT Editorial that looked at this and thought, “you know, maybe this isn’t really going to serve the ‘let the idiot make an ass of himself’ purpose we’re hoping it does...”?

Err, according to Wikipedia it cost around $345 million and brought in $80 million in North America and $330 overseas, of which studios bring back a smaller share. Deadline estimates a $90 million loss.

I honestly don’t feel as though this show glorifies gun violence. Frank is portrayed as suffering from PTSD and barely holding onto his sanity at times. There’s no fetishism involved, no glorification of the act of killing. All the violence is shown as horrifying and empty. If anything, the show is a firm argument agai…

@Will B - I agree that a good portion of the blame for the DCEU is on Snyder’s flawed plan. But I also do think the studio heads behind Snyder likely asked for the DCEU timeline to be accelerated and for characters like Wonder Woman to be shoehorned into BvS.

Part of managing a connected universe properly is having the…

“B-b-but my franchise starter!”
