Even being choked on an billboard, Jennifer Lawrence looks so nonplussed to be there. It seems like pretty standard marketing though. A key figure in the last movie is shown to be in a vulnerable spot due to a powerful new threat. Both are blue and not human. I can see the connection people are making here to

It feels like the term mansplaining is used whenever someone wants to vilify any man for clarifying anything after they've already been labeled as a representative of the patriarchy. It's like people don't want to listen to others so they brand it something dismissive and laugh at them for just trying to explain

This was so wonderful. Whatever it was they were specifically referencing, the episode really captured the kind of innocence that a lot of older animation was imbued with. In just one episode, I am absolutely in love with the Rubies and want to see Garnet's more often. Their simple nature and one dimensional

I loved Meryl. She sounded so genuine and feeble, it just felt so real. This show does it's side characters so well. Also it feels like they've really been pushing Jimmy Pesto lately. Like they're trying to make him a thing. I get that he's Bob's business rival but it feels like they've really been giving him

Although nothing special, this was one of the more consistently solid episodes in recent memory. There were a good number of clever one liners, some fun visuals, all the side plots came together pretty well, and they took some concepts I thought would be drab and predictable and made them enjoyable.
The black and

This felt like an episode that was supposed to play with how low these characters could go, but it didn't go far enough to be ridiculous in line with the show. Maybe there was barely any jokes to really emphasize how sometimes these people are genuinely awful. Krieger hypnotizing the office, Mallory going apeshit on

This feels like such a throwaback. Not necessarily because it's returning to the themes in evergreen, but just the look and feel of this episode is so early Adventure Time. Jake's design in this episode clued me in a little with the big eyes and the face not really conforming to his head. They introduce a new

It's interesting how this show is so pretty that it can use the most basic silhouettes and blocks of color to convey a scene and still look wonderful. The waves around the warp spot and the flashback were examples of what was probably very simple, quick to make animation that fit the world and still looked lovely.

Even on episodes like this where the Simpsons seems to get some solid jokes and a cohesive story going, I'm always just disappointed with how inconsistent the humor is. There are so many moments they could have cut or made quicker or changed the delivery of or something that would have made the whole episode feel

This is my favorite kind of episode: plenty of wacky goofy action, ridiculous one-line characters that seem to make the world so much more elaborate, a villain that is only menacing because of the cards they're holding while having a completely absurd personality and mindset, some actually fantastic jokes (that

The next threat? I'm gonna bet Jasper will fuse with a myriad of partially formed gem monsters as she's gone off the deep end for the power that fusion gives her. She'll keep growing larger and more grotesque as she keeps merging more monsters to herself. Then they'll have to wrestle with the moral dilemma of
