A little disappointed that they are still trying to graft “funny” on to men in black. I really liked the comic book that the original was very loosely based on (had the Jay and Kay names, the memory zapper, and, umm, well that might have been more or less it). It was much darker with Kay (the older agent - Tommy Lee…

Oh yeah, I don’t think the idea of having a “super” bad guy (whether through tech or other powers) is inherently bad, it was just the execution where they removed a super-interesting villain with an interesting (and somewhat sympathetic) backstory and replaced him with a bland angry person (after building him up for…

Also Luke Cage had a really interesting, flawed, and nuanced villain, up until they said “nah screw it, lets just have an uninteresting obsessed psychopath”.

I certainly didn’t think it was as strong as S1 and it had what seem to be the inevitable pacing problems of these series, but I thought the good parts (and Ritter herself) kept me pretty entertained. I do wish they had found a way to make Trish more sympathetic. The Jerry Hogarth plotline was well written,…

I have to admit, that kind of makes me want to see it just for the double-ewe-tee-eff...

Actually have to admit I haven’t gotten around to Punisher, probably because I was fearing exactly what you said. Well technically I also didn’t watch like the last 3-4 episodes of Iron Fist because ugh.

I’d say the last couple seasons of AoS is better than anything other than Jessica Jones 1&2 and Daredevil 1 (though the high points of Luke Cage and the Defenders were quite good, so I could call those a wash).

Wait, is that a thing that happened? Or is this a joke. I literally can’t even tell.

Sure, that would make for some good TV show episodes, but it’s hard to imagine it working into a movie that is already going to have issues with being overstuffed.

I like that. Maybe he’s Teddy...

You’re right, it’s much less terrible because he did it to a guy who, in addition to being homeless, may not be in possession of all his faculties.

Hmm, Bridge to Terabithia was the first time I remember consciously thinking “I’m being emotionally manipulated”, which kind of robbed it of its pathos.

That’s like when my wife worries about our 5-year-old son being abducted by a stranger. Saying “that almost *never* happens, he’s much much more likely to be killed in a car crash” doesn’t really seem to comfort her for some reason...

There was a time travel themed RPG that did this. I don’t recall the name. It had suggested tests and things to measure your stats (I remember part of of strength was how long you could hold a gallon jug of milk straight out in front of you, and that the fact I could juggle gave me like a +2 in dexterity).

See you’d like to think that, but he would just do what he no doubt would have done if he’d lost in 2016 like most people (including himself) expected: Come right up to the line of outright stating that the election was rigged without quite outright saying it “I’m just saying, I hear things, that’s all I’m saying”,…

Umm, impeachment *is* a political process, not a legal one. Now if people start trying to end around with the 25th amendment, *that’s* a pretty sketchy precedent.

Well said. I’ll be in my cold cold grave before I let someone get away with “chomping at the bit”...

Your son is fake. I can tell by the pixels.

I’m reminded when I was at UC Berkeley in the early 90s. The guy who ran the ROTC on campus was literally “Sergeant Slaughter”.
