Also: I loves me some MCU, but I’m getting a little flummoxed by the near-constant shifting of the narrative goalposts. I get that having a whole bunch of “escape routes” is great for maintaining the coherence of a shared universe, but since Captain Marvel, we’ve seen shapeshifting Skrulls, time-travel based

Oh, at last, a fresh take on this subject.

“Resurrection” via cloning gets extra complicated when you live in a universe where souls are proven to be real and tangible; Astra keeps a bunch in her purse, for crying out loud. So asking whether this Sara counts as the same person as the Sara who died ... a lot depends on if they can take a trip to Purgatory or

Re: Spooner - same. I thought she was just lashing out. That was a cool reveal. 

I enjoyed this episode, but I’m just going to toss some nitpicks into the Greys.

No love for Ava channeling Gideon into a CRT TV and Gideon basically being Max Headroom for the duration of the episode?

At least it makes more sense than when people were convinced Sigourney Weaver’s character in The Defenders was going to Mephisto based on…nothing, as far as I can tell.

At this point, I want Marvel to keep doing red herrings to Mephisto. Just tease and tease him, but don’t actually use him until people stop pointing at things and thinking he’s going to show up.

The pew-pew noises when she was shooting paper at Crowley? ::chef’s kiss::

Now playing

Hahaha, thanks for reminding me how great Prince Wu was.

There are times when we need to step back and appreciate the fact half of this episode is about a mad scientist and his army of clones turning people into monsters on an alien planet, and the other half’s about a 19th Century sorcerer changing reality into a cartoon and being defeated through song.

Complaining that Desire is played by a nonbinary person is like complaining that Captain Hook is played by an someone with one hand who wears a hook and talks like a pirate.

Oh man, you didn’t check in to see how this insane stretch of a nothing-burger was getting roasted over at The Root? Cause it’s getting no traction there, and it feels like their readership should know.

I’ve never been a huge stan for Whedon but, leaving aside the truly horrendous behind-the-scenes aspects, I feel like it’s been a bit too easy to make him the scapegoat for Justice League. The man was basically parachuted into a near-completed film and given the instructions to not only finish it but finish it in such

It’s weird to look back (cause it really wasn’t that long ago) and remember when this seemed like an absolutely crazy idea that would never work in a million years. I missed out on it at the outset precisely because my expectations were low - and then was absolutely blown away when seeing the final product. I still

TIL that the co-founders of Megadeth include more than just Dave Mustaine and Dave Mustaine’s Resentment

I loved the stoner vibe that Behrad gave off when he was first introduced last season, because it seemed to be just a fun side thing, but he was still all in on being a “Time Bro!” but now it seems like that’s become his whole thing, and that makes it a little boring? I hope they figure him out, because he is

I want one where we see the alternate season 3 and 4 with him in Zari's storylines.

I still want to hear Zari’s version of the dragon empowerment song.

It’s roughly 12:30 into the episode when they’ve “captured” Lord Knoxicrillion. MAKE SPACE CABBIE ON LEGENDS HAPPEN PLEASE.
