Given how sure people were that Mephisto was behind WandaVision, I’ll take each episode as it comes and not rely on the collective bulletin board knowledge of the internet. And be pleasantly surprised either way.

A FAT Mephisto maybe?

Congratulations on your new job!
Or they’ll just make the rape subtext like they did with Maleficient. Read more
I’ve seen a decent number of Russian films and that sounds more like a Nickelback video circa 2003. Read more
The second storyline, “A Doll’s House,” is much better. (Back in the early ‘90s, that was the first arc DC collected as a trade paperback aimed at non-comics readers, and in retrospect it’s easy to see why.) You can see Gaiman moving away rapidly from ‘80s splatterpunk and Moore-influenced horror comics to a kind of… Read more
Not everything is for everyone. I’ve given Neil Gaiman plenty of chances, and he’s always left me cold. Yes, it would be nice to be into the zeitgeisty stuff sometimes, but it can’t always be so.
There is also the link to the unproven allegation that David Cameron was alleged to have been intimate with pork products as part of a college initiation prank.
It’s Brit slang. Typically a right-wing, white, middle-aged man, who gets very worked up and red in the face, so that their complexion resembles gammon pork.

And here I thought it was a loving tribute to the cinematic sci-fi classic Battlefield Earth, starring John Travolta as the villainous Psychlo overseer Terl.
the book and the movie are separate, sure, but i would say an explanation from the original text doesn’t exactly qualify as a ‘fan theory’ either.
After reading various reviews of Camp Cretaceous by professionals i have come to trust, i decided to check it out. Read more
I don’t think they’re looking to coddle any specific category of fans at this point. TRoS was clearly an attempt to provide “fan service” to all the fans who hated TLJ, and it barely limped across the $1 billion mark. Not a catastrophe, but definitely a disappointment. Which sums up my feelings for the ST in general,… Read more

1) Time jump. Like, seriously, 10-15 years into the future at least even if that much time hasn’t passed in the real world. Rey and Finn are Masters in a new order of Jedi Knights, Poe is running the New New Republic or whatever, there are new spaceship and droid designs, new planets (and not barren frontier worlds,… Read more
That this is styled as being “almost shocking” (i.e., that people don’t realize how much CGI the show uses) goes to the point that I’ve made over and over again: people don’t hate CGI, they hate bad CGI. Modern films and movies are constantly using CGI in all sorts of subtle ways that most people never notice.
I think you have made a vital point here. There are people who already hold certain ideological views and will seek out narratives that reinforce those views and/or bend and twist an interpretation of the narrative to serve the same purpose. We can’t really blame the text or the author for people willfully… Read more
Oh man, this is cool. I love TKO’s comics. I get them already collected in trade paperback, so it’s already a complete story, which is nice. The best, so far, have probably by Lemire and Gabriel Walta’s Sentient, Garth Ennis and Steven Epting’s Sara, and Alex Paknadel and Nik Vendrell’s Redfork. Which also goes to… Read more
Honestly, I think the US may indeed be more fucked up than we can properly comprehend...I mean, I have seen videos in which one of these gun nuts parades around a university campus carrying a gun very much like Rittenhouse and apparently that’s entirely legal. Read more
