Not to get into the ‘face talent vs VOs’ debate but were any of the voice actors actual writers on the show because if not, they’re basically just walking in to get checks which always feels tiresome.

DC’s only successful superhero movies post-1989 were Batman films. DC wanted to make more Batman films, so they hired Snyder who made a huge hit out of 300 to do Watchmen, they watched TDK blow up, then Watchmen which was far more afield do alright so they handed him the reins.

To be fair, Batman was fighting organized crime when organized crime was a substantial force in American cities upon his creation.  Batman exists in 1920s-30s NY/Chicago/KC mob rule world, his 1970s/80s resurgence is in part a reflection of lower-level organized gangs that were never that powerful but were a media…

That’s just a hefty retcon when they realized they wanted to use that character....But yes, it is canon. 

The Prequels are getting a huge turn around because of nostalgia. Boomers loved SW’s original Trilogy so hard that it became a cable mainstay, there was literally times in the 1980s and 1990s you could turn on basic cable and see all 3 movies overlapping each other and repeating on weekends.

Yes and for the same reason that they keep reliably making money. There is still gold in slapping a new coat of paint on that 1972 Buick LeSabre and they’ll be damned if they aren’t going to drive it into the ground.

She spun a career out of being an asshole who wore an AR-15 to graduation.  This is the entirety of her academic and intellectual stance.  Worse yet, she graduated from Kent State, the site of the worst government-backed massacre on University grounds.  So she’s just a low-grade troll that just can’t accept her 15…

I appreciate Lil Nas X getting in the ditches with these idiots but this is exactly how they operate.  If he kept rattling off how it was a discussion of the criminalization of homosexuality in Christianity and general culture they would have less of a leg to stand on but I’m ok with a guy with average IQ just…

Oof...This is just flailing about in a desperate attempt to sound cool.  I don’t need to mix it up with such a stupid fuck but I feel genuinely bad you exist at all.  Clearly you’re the exact Trump supporter who never got the message and continue to think your worldview is going to roar back.  I’m guessing you’re a…

Ugh, I rewrote that line then didn’t correct it.  I originally wrote ‘becoming a mom four times over’ then didn’t like that phrasing...BLAH.  :(

It was the perfect subtle joke that elevated the sketch past cutting to cast members doing a silly drunk one-liner.

As i’m largely straight am I just missing something from Bowen’s over the top personality? He feels like a painful throwback to gay stereotypes in the 1990s. His whole schtick could be added to Men on Film from In Living Color and feel right at home.  The oddly specific requests in his WU bit were funny but his whole…

Fey has a crippling sense of imposter syndrome and Poehler has no problem with being an objectionable person in the room.  Rudolph is very much the ‘pretty and fun woman at the party’ type.  She’s just naturally affable.  I don’t really get the point of trying to shove uncomfortable ‘bitch’ roles onto somebody who…

She’s an example of somebody who’s just genuinely that enjoyable off camera that she can just do what she wants on. She knows her lines, hits her mark, and is just generally charismatic. She doesn’t need to play unlikable or have obvious foibles.

Please tell me you’re a whiny Gen-X’er who’s complaining that you didn’t get to own a house until you were 32....

Oh no, it’s totally about that but if you live an ephemeral existence where marvel movies aren’t meant to be examined you can totally read it as a fun buddy cop show. It’s both, you just don’t have to care about the second layer if you’re in a position to not have to.

I honestly feel a little bad for him, without the helmet he’s a handsome man and I know that the suit was designed around a Evans’ face but...oof.  I imagine him signing the contracts, knowing he’s getting a ton of speaking parts in a huge marvel series, and then them showing the costume and him just having to eat it…

I get your argument but if Sam was outright in a good position financially as he would have been working for Shield for a decade and some back pay for saving the world, I just don’t get the ‘too proud’ argument making sense.  I feel like this was inserted just as juxtaposition of Walker’s story but telling it in Ep1…

They never explicitly establish where Walker is from (in the books it’s the south) but the fact that they have what is clearly a black marching band at his Alma Mater says he’s likely in a semi-black belt community or an urban center in the south.  He’s only in his 30s (Wyatt Russell is 34) so to be roughly 16 years…

They seem so desperate to walk the line with the Walker comic book character being a fascist and an ally often at the same time.  He’s more white privilege unexamined than evil.  It’s hard to read too far into his characterization at this point but I’m sure we’re going to get the ‘Walker snaps’ somewhere in episode 3…
