Let’s not kid ourselves. We got between five shows and one crossover event we got maybe two goods season of TV. Pretty much none of these shows could manage a decent second season and some failed right out of the gate.

The weirdest part about this is how the band has kept making the worst possible decision, apparently deliberately. It’s certainly problematic to be named after the pre-war south, but they weren’t even in the top ten most overtly racist country acts, so I doubt it was hurting them much.

Then they changed their name to…

The motivation of the band has been so confusing. Like, you’re already changing your name, pick something else.

Fuck Selman and the whole team. Clausen did dozens of styles throughout the years - there were boy band episodes, an Indian version of “Close to You”, Disney parodies, fake musicals, “Can I Borrow a Feeling”, Barbershop, hip hop parodies, etc. Saying he only did big band and jazz is just an outright fucking lie.

I felt like Rey did that for a lot of star wars fans, in a way. Because I can’t remember A New Hope beat for beat but watching TFA, I felt like I was on another adventure. But this time, it was a young woman on screen, uninterested in romantic entanglements, lonely, and a little lost. That’s powerful stuff. I would’ve…

Get a better actress, you say? I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: Lupita is RIGHT THERE. They’ve got time to rewrite things now. God knows Disney and Marvel have the money to reshoot the shit out of this thing. Write her out. Make Lupita the new Black Panther instead. Problem solved.

Replace her with a quickness. If she is a problem on this to the point where she has no issue demonstrating that she gives zero shits about the rest of the cast and crew, and holding up an entire film for her ignorant, wack-a-doo political beliefs? She is not somebody you want on your team at all. This would not be…

The “high school punk” look is kinda embarrassing when you’re almost 40.

90% of the examples in this article are not about the Uncanny Valley. The uncanny valley isn’t just bad CGI and it very explicitly is not about any animal. It is about humans and humanoid objects and how we have a strong negative reaction to a humanoid object that looks 90% like a human, but not to one that looks 50%…

Every one of these new animated series looks worse than the next

WTF do you want from me right now? If you wanna mock me, at least be direct, will you?

Here’s the thing about nicotine vaping: let’s assume for a minute that 5 decades down the line, we will know for a fact that indeed, vaping is MUCH less harmful to human cells than any form of tobacco smoke. That would make these things one of the most brilliant smoking cessation products ever invented. I’ve witnessed…

to get the snark out of the way:

I’m hoping the MCU never sinks as low as the comics has with creating unnecessarily convoluted Hulks.

That forms the basis of the pie-in-the-sky idea that I’ve posted here and on io9 several times, and though I’ll eat my hat if something like that happens, it would be awesome. It’s why I say that Lupita Nyong’o would be by far the best realistic choice for the role.

And now I’m thinking... you’ve got Lupita RIGHT THERE.

Shuri may have become Black Panther in the comics, but MCU Shuri is (IMO) incredibly ill-suited to the role, unlike her comics counterpart.

I hope she’s alright, and also that the character she plays isn’t taking over as Black Panther.

Ah, the subjunctive mood. Would that it were more common these days. 

Well, she technically does.
