Loki wasn’t Loki until he was Loki. Same with Thanos, really. The vast majority of people going to see the Avengers didn’t know who that guy was at the end of the movie. The amount of people who know these villains from the comics is fairly small. They can make it work by presenting him as a threat, though as you note…

The choice isn’t between Marvel and Oscar bait. Superhero stuff is totally mainstream and doesn’t stop people from doing oscar bait in their free time. He wants to do Marvel and The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard over oscar bait. Which is also an acceptable choice, but I guess he knows how silly it sounds to say I’d rather…

I don’t think its abusive, but I do think its mean spirited and spiteful. They definitely weren’t true to the character.

She can’t be, that’s the point. No matter how hard they try, Samantha’s absence is glaring and it actively hurts whatever they’re trying to do with the other characters.

I despise everyone who hated on the 2016 Ghostbusters based on the casting alone but reveres the dreck that was Afterlife and willingly goes along with this absurd reverence for the franchise.

It didn’t do anything that couldn’t be accomplished in a movie, but it was probably the strongest from start to finish of these shows.

Do you think it’s not true that for example James Gandolfini struggled with playing Tony Soprano and that inhabiting that character actually didn’t cause him any problems?

Buddy, it goes back WAY further than Zsa Zsa Gabor. Helen of Troy was famous solely for her beauty.

No, I said god bless him for it, get that money king. But he’s certainly not doing anything to try and make it better. He walks around with that same constipated look 70% of the time.

Three years ago, I would have said, “Hell yeah, give Gustin a chance” but my god is he sleepwalking through his part lately. He is just cashing checks and hey god bless him for it, but let’s get a fresh face.

Superstore was shot single camera, not mockumentary style. There weren’t any talking head scenes or fourth wall breaking moments.

I just watch this and boy is this a star showcase. It was funny in fits and starts, and Chris Parnell is excellent, but there’s just way too much Rebel, even for a movie meant to star Rebel Wilson. She has at least half a dozen musical numbers that solely exist to just show off her new body. Which, good for you, but…

“Im open to hearing peoples thoughts on this”

Yeah, that too! There’s no way he’d save that for just the right moment.

My head canon is the Pearsons are a cult and Sophie has been brainwashed.

Yeah but bashing the writers here is such an easy way to earn points. I’ve never thought of Charles as an idiot, but I’ve also never thought of him as smart and funny, so it would be news to me if it turned out he was both those things.

Was I the only one creeped out by the card in the wallet? While Kevin was having sex with a parade of women over the years, he was keeping a Valentine answered by a 7 year old in his wallet?

Time, Inc. v. Hill. And they aren’t being portrayed in a false light. They’re being exaggerated for dramatic effect.

And you can’t answer why you are so certain Magic Johnson will sue. Weird how you keep dodging a very simple question. I guess you realized you were talking out of your ass.

You said Magic hasn’t sued “yet”. What have you seen from the show that makes you think Magic Johnson will sue?
