No one alive (excepting the last 5 WWII veterans) has served in the US military to keep me safe from anything you fucking goober.

Yes? Just because someone serves in the military doesn’t mean they automatically deserve to be publicly fellated as heroes.

Anti-vaxxers have been a thing for like 15+ years. (Well, for centuries, actually; but the modern movement the term refers to dates to the 2000s.) Anti-COVID-vaccine-vaxxers, yeah, obviously, but be careful with terminology here.

It’s lazy writing, really

Worst dialogue on TV

The student CHOSE to take out those loans knowing full well they have to be repaid.

This.  When they announced that she was fighting “Ares” during WWI, I thought it was kind of brilliant. It’s a war where the clear “villain” is war itself.  But the movie didn’t do anything with that so…

Which never ceases to be weird since world war 1 is famously not a war you can sit back and watch bad people die for fun. Oh yeah that 18 year old farm boy just got shot by the heros! Yeah! Hurrah for imperialism, monarchy and empires!

I mean, the whole concept of an “independent” murder intelligence organization, operating outside of government oversight has more than a whiff of fascist fantasy to it.

The first movie was fairly bad, actually, and I have exactly zero interest in other entries in this “franchise.”

In pop culture, WWI is the new WW2 (King’s Man, Wonder Woman, Jungle Cruise, and many more.) All the fun of punching Germans with world-shattering stakes, but none of that uncomfortable Nazi business.

The film’s one good history joke—the casting of Tom Hollander in the triple role of King George V, Tsar Nicholas II, and Kaiser Wilhelm II—turns out to be a squandered stunt;

I can’t wait for this kind of dialogue

I mean, but is it really any better than what Hollywood is doing? Especially as Netflix seems to be completely unwilling to trust a new IP, only to try shit with existing ones. And yes that is getting some fairly bonkers IPs on screen (Shadow & Bone is not something I ever thought would get on TV, for example), but

I wouldn’t call doing remakes of already popular franchises an example of getting out of Hollywood’s comfort zone.


The original didn’t exactly leave a lot of room for a sequel.  I’m fine with something being one season if they tell a complete story like that.  Live action does not, and in fact ends with set up for a second season.

Original Bebop didn’t “get” a second season because it wasn’t written to have one, like many anime of it’s time. It wasn’t cancelled it just ended. It’s a complete story with a pretty unambiguous ending. Comparing it to shonen serials is apples to oranges. Netflix’s Bebop on the other hand is very clearly written to

The richest man in the world does not own a house and has recently been selling off his fortune.

The time is ripe for the Dominion to crush this nascent Federation into so much space flotsam. 

Wow, I cannot agree with the B even remotely. This was an awful episode.
