The closest thing to “antagonism” that I said towards you was “I’m not sure you understand the situation here,” so... calm the fuck down. 

Oooh, what if they (the Bad Place) play him against Janet at some point to turn her against her friends?

Right, but that would mean that “God” has a birthday, because we know Janet does. 

OK, but I can’t expect every blog article about an ensemble cast show to have to sing the praises of every character every time. It’s a piece about Tahani, specifically, so everyone else got reduced to a succinct description that obviously doesn’t encapsulate the entirety of their story.

It actually means neither of those things, but you’re free to feel and speculate in the absence of supporting facts. It’s actually far too soon to theorize about Disney’s future plans for the characters because not all of the licensing deals are at the same stage right now. For all you know, after the deals for JJ and…

Thank you. For some reason, supposedly smart people are seeing this as the Sony/Fox licensing deals of the 90s all over again, when it’s nothing like that. Marvel/Disney has learned from history and won’t repeat it.

I’m not sure you understand the situation here. Marvel Television Studios produces these shows along with the production companies of the various showrunners they hire. Marvel already makes the product. Netflix is/was the distributor. Maybe there’s some clause in the deal that allows Netflix to continue airing the…

Facts > emotions, every day. 

You would think that with the billions that Netflix is throwing around for original content that they could afford to call Disney’s bluff for now. 

I liked the Netflix Marvel universe, but it really was too close to DC dumbdark in the long run. The characters never really got to revel or show of their powers beyond some minor realistic effects, and they went a little over the top on the melodrama for me in most of the series. All of the series ended up with…

This whole “Letter of 15" or however many supposed holdouts the anti-Pelosi caucus has is ridiculous. They amount to less than 8% of the entire incoming Democratic caucus. 

I just find it funny that Lee, as the “progressive” standard-bearer, lost to the same “generational change” argument that progressives deployed against Pelosi first.

I feel like Stone and Parker might have had a point, if they hadn’t licensed their show out as a mobile game already last year.

“When your wrongthink gets you more followers than your GDQ run would have got,” he said.

due to the unfortunate reality of our guitarist fucking my girlfriend of almost 7 years ...

The juxtaposition of criticizing a master improviser as “played out” while raining praises on the aggressively mediocre Legends is just hilarious. Thanks for the biggest laugh of the week, and by Wednesday, no less!

It’s bad writing all the way down. Been that way since Day One, really. 

Silk is what happens when some dudebro at Marvel has the GREAT IDEA of “What if there was a spider-girl out there and every time she and Peter got near each other, all they wanted to do was FUUUUUUUUUCK? Like, other people have to peel them off of each other to prevent So Much Fucking!” And someone in a management…

This all just sounds so incredibly... banal. Like, “Let’s reduce this unique character into just one of the genres that inspired him and ignore everything else, oh and throw some extra Grimdark in there for good measure just to put the whole entire stamp of mediocrity all over this project.” 

This feels like a not-at-all subtle shot against The Simpsons, which recently spent an episode mocking “recappers” who give letter grades to television shows, aka the AV Club business model.
