lol wow suggesting that voice actors might age out of a role... Matt Schimkowitz I’ve certainly called you a hack before but these are low hanging fruit now man.

It’s weird that it took the world this long to realize Cillian Murphy is hot. He’s been a supporting actor in many blockbusters in recent memory. I’ve been aware of him ever since his turn as the Scarecrow in Batman... it’s just odd that people are gushing over him now suddenly when he’s been headlining films  (off…

I still find it super cute that conservatives have recontextualized “woke” into a negative thing while not realizing it means “awoken to social issues”. It’s just so cute how dumb they are sometimes.

I’d like to point out that Sam Barsanti’s job is more or less the same as Doddario’s character’s job in White Lotus season 1. He’s a puff-piece writer. I’d probably be a little embarrassed telling people what I do if I were him (The AV Club used to have more prestige than this but alas).

Sam Barsanti probably doesn’t…

I side with you on Barsanti but in regards to show writers I think you need to attribute a little more nuance to your take. Painting with broads stroke will results in years of generic be-careful-what-you-wish-for programming.

There’s people (myself included) that have been not watching this and just reading the recaps and honestly this finale review sorta cemented that I made the correct choice. But I do agree with you that I think it’s Barsanti’s emotional investment in this/his shortsightedness, that resulted in him not even considering…

We know the real reason is that the MCU is caring less about it’s own continuity these days but it’s fun to see fans speculating that it’s something other than them being lazy. Must I remind you that in Age of Ultron Banner was like “Black Widow I love you cuz I cant have kids” and then recently it was revealed he has…

This is the second MCU thing I’ve skipped. Very glad I dipped after episode 2. I’m a completionist but I’m okay with saying I missed this one (as well as Werewolf by Night - not for me).

Yeah I can’t imagine MCU fans enjoying this show.... I know there’s a whole toxic section of the fanbase that cry when they have women leads or progressive storylines... but this isn’t even that.

It’s just so boring and long and nothing...

It’s nice that MCU fans finally have their The Rise of Skywalker.

Hopefully this…

I’ll add that the show like, totally forgot that Rhodes IS an Avenger who, for whatever reason, it doesn’t get mentioned super often has the exact same powers as Iron Man. It seemed so weird when Rhodes himself was like “we don’t want them getting ahold of our powerful friends” in episode two cuz like.... HE IS…

I appreciate you actually reviewing this episode for us. Can’t wait until they fire Sam for being a hack.

What’s funny is it’s his complete lack of media literacy that will absolutely get his job replaced by AI. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. That is all.

The Marvels? Nick Fury’s next appearance. Where in the recent trailer he goes so far as mentioning the skrulls...

Barsanti is so fucking insecure about AI taking his job. This is embarrassing for him.

yoo an F?

Woof

Everywhere else: *has recap of Secret Invasion finale posted already*
AV CLUB: this is the one time a show premiere’s at 3am that we don’t have a review ready first thing the next morning.

I will be going elsewhere to find out what happens on that boring boring but possibly mandatory MCU show thank you.

Odd headline... “frightfully unfunny”. What are the expectations for kids horror...? Was this supposed to be funny/hilarious? That seems very confused. It seemed more like this was trying to be quirky than funny which confuses me too. Why do adults think kids find Owen Wilson scary? Why even make horror for kids if…

“.. As much as I like The Batman with R-Patz I was surprised that they announced a sequel because it felt like I watched an entire trilogy in that theatre waiting for that film to end.”

That’s the only part of my comment that matters. I hear you.

This is my main defence of Multiverse of Madness. I don’t understand why people think longer runtime = better if the topic is superhero film. MoM was the shortest film of phase 4 and it was a roller coaster ride I could turn my brain off for 90 minutes. I’m not a Snyderverse fan pretending there was some deep deep…
