"an unavoidable byproduct of hourly scripted network television"

Yeah, there ya go! if you call me a few more names, maybe you'll forget that you can't actually back up your point.

You should stick to telling me to piss off. That will give you more of a cathartic release, and it doesn't look quite so silly as saying "NUH UH!"

Yeah, I know what you said, it's what I disagreed with. Like I said, "it doesn't really "get" law any more than any other lawyer show", and it certainly indulges in the "usual mishmosh of 'I object' 'Sustained' 'I'll allow it' pablum 99.9% of legal shows offer". What sets TGW apart is the character study of Alicia…

"The towering thing that makes/made The Good Wife unique in network television is the verisimilitude of the legal work/wrangling. "

The storefronts actually looked kinda British.

Based on this trailer, it seems like CA:CW might make the registration issue make a little more sense; Cap is only opposing registration because of a personal mission (Finding Bucky) not some hazy Tea Party-esque concept of "FREEDOM", and IM is displaying some actual emotion about having to go after his friend.

That's the framework where Captain America being against registration makes the most sense, though. He can say, "I'm all but government sanctioned, and I've never gotten drunk and killed an ambassador, so why do I have to be brought to heel?"

There was also the dumb, heavy-handed racial politics aspect of the ides.

Miles was created in the Ultimate Universe at the same time that Captain America was becoming President and Reed Richards was becoming evil. Marvel is never going to "stop doing Spider-Man stuff", and anyone who thinks otherwise needs to take a nap.

That's sorta it, and Cap and IM are complex enough characters that they can take either side given the right circumstances. But the problem in CW is that it all got filtered though Mark Millar's very weird politics.

"The filmmakers are allowed to make creatively interesting choices only provided those choices line up with the master plan"

"And they were still relevant to Ultron's plot, because they let Thor know that the Vision was trustworthy."

And while I'm loathe to get into the specifics issues the protesters are raising (because I suspect we'll not agree on what those issues are), I think it's entirely legitimate to agitate against unrepresentative campus demographics, racial slurs, and administrative indifference in addressing those issues.

I mean, I'll do it again, if it helps:

Because people are different, and different people like different things. This is literally an art, not a science.

Yeah, OK, 'cause I disagree with you, I must not want to "think too hard/critically". Pull the other one, it lights up and makes noises.

"but there's a strain of illiberal authoritarianism to the modern Left"

Easy to fix if you wanted to. Start the movie just like this, then have Sam Jackson drop in on Miles at some point (like he does in the comics), reference Oscorp or Doc Ock or something, and you got a stew, brother.

Maybe you were wrong to assume that "it's just about race", then.
