I love that song!  Fleetwood Mac rules!

I snagged this off a post on io9 (I think). It’s being shared on twitter and I should’ve gotten the name for attribution, but I didn’t. My bad.

“Excuse me, sir. SIR! As a fan who disagreed with the technical merits, character beats, and plot points of TLJ, it is my SOVREIGN RIGHT to call prominent women in the cast cunts. How ELSE am I to register my intense displeasure!?”

Just about every reviewer or friend that I know has described it along the lines of “a sublime opening 5 minutes followed by a manic and unengaging plot with two miscast, charmless leads” and whatever rating THAT gets is pretty much spot on.

—Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets is underrated!—

Just when I thought I was done with Legion, it pulls me back in like a bloodied hook down the drain. Very grateful that some momentum is kicking into the plot.

I thought this episode was the least successful of the series so far. It had some great scenes but fell apart on some crucial stuff - I just didn’t buy at all Syd - an extremely intelligent person until now- falling so easily for Melanie’s obvious scheming tricks, not to mention not even guessing that it could be…

-Did anyone else assume, from the weirdly docile way Syd noticed and walked over to the drain, that it was kind of ‘compelling’ her over? Fucking with it immediately doesn’t really vibe with the survivalist mentality she’s been selling to David.

I was so mad Syd held onto the hook after she pulled it out of the rabbit. Seriously, you don’t know the bunny was bait and you’re the catch of the day?

I thought it was masterfully crafted in its gradual subversion of the hero’s arc as a potential/eventual villain, which increases the survivability risk and stakes of all the parties involved, not to mention the narrative itself. Add an incredibly immersive cinematography and music, and enough weird elements like that…

Was there any tangible effect of Possessed Melanie knocking out Clark two weeks ago? I thought that would stop him from filling the role David wanted him to play, but he arrived with that big tuning fork with seemingly plenty of time (even though his efforts were rendered moot by Farouk at the end).

Did you notice David’s hair in the flash-forward? yeahhhh....

Syd’s the minotaur now, right? And was that the plan all along?

Eh, seems to me that the comics in question are trying to balance their craft with burgeoning cultural sensitivity. Some of them feel that their craft is suffering.

Can I just say that Season One of American Gods was a HUGE improvement on the book? I’m not saying it was bad, just that Book!Shadow’s total indifference to everything going on around him didn’t really appeal to me. He doesn’t question whatever Wednesday does or what’s going on, doesn’t act like whatever’s going…

Me too. His artwork ad writing made comics painful for me. Good Lord he sucked. On the good side, I dropped out early in his new mutants run, and missed the whole market collapse, and the spamming of shit books at $2 a piece.

Nobody in that Image posse were any good at drawing realistic women, whereas even Silver age artists that were considered weak, like Don Heck, were skilled at drawing women and their contemporary fashions. It marks a generational shift in what was considered important and professional.

You must be rich!

Why use that stupid “snowflakes” diss, so overused by alt right assclowns? You don’t really understand what you’re writing about either, but I’m going to assume you were at the right age to buy all the poly-bagged shite the big two were pushing at the time and you’re too defensive to admit even now it WAS all shite.…
