I got together with my girlfriend when we were 19. She had been with one other person before me and he did shit like the guy in the first letter to her. She was a bit overweight at the time and had a terrible body image problem, and he would use that against her, telling her that he could overlook her stomach because…

I feel like the simplest solution here involves you not reading or writing about them, then. Don’t put this on me! I like writing about movies!

It’s OK; this tail has been told before. Let’s just prey that Nic Cage finds a better project to work on.

Hopefully Nic Cage had a claws in his contract that still allowed him to get paid.

They felt no pride in it, and it wasn’t manestream enough. 

Guess they decided to hit paws on this project.

Seems that Amazon were lion about this....

Master horror writer Garth Marenghi on subtext:

had to read the article to confirm if this was fiction or non-fiction

On the other hand, it was a sincerely stupid film.

I do love that ultimately Sylvie can’t get beyond her singular goal of toppling the TVA, consequences be damned. It makes sense to me that she’d only barely come to trust the other Loki even if she felt some affection for him, and that dissipated immediately once they were no longer on the same page regarding He Who…

Put me in the “unsatisfying” column. I enjoy the MCU, but don’t really care about the comics.

This seems like a case of “we need to set up the next story” without giving any thought to concluding the story they were already telling. One of our main characters (Moebius) ends up having his arc erased, another (Loki)…

I’m just gonna list off all the variants of Kangs:

Not only was Khan a beloved villain, but his reappearance in WoK ties into the general theme of reckoning with ageing, mortality and the consequences of past mistakes which give that film its dramatic heft.

Much like Rise of Skywalker, Into Darkness is devoted almost exclusively to pandering to the fans, but in all the wrong ways.

It’s time for Savage Nobody! The advice column that is both an emotional and a literal arsonist! I don’t know precisely how Dan found out about my habit of pulling out my dick to piss on the houses I ignite, but he is completely right: this behavior has nothing to do with helping the owners and is done purely to feel…

One the one hand, I have no time for the sort of ‘fan culture’ that feels a popular franchise is ‘ruined’ if it doesn’t pander to their elaborate understanding of its backstory or provide the idealised story they’d always imagined in their heads. Its light commercial entertainment guys, it’s never going to love you…

Yeah, I must say I was surprised by the article because I thought it’d be about Gruenwald. Always a bit of an unsung hero (because he was primarily an editor) its lovely to see two Marvel shows back to back so heavily indebted to him (TVA, Timekeepers, Mobius, John Walker, US Agent, etc).

Counterpoint: no, it doesn’t. David wasn’t the only comedic writer at Marvel and the show doesn’t even really use his type of humor.

No that’s Melf, The Elf with a Gun. He was created by Steve Gerber for his Defenders run. He would basically use elaborate disguises to surprise and shoot random people. It’s never explained why he was doing this.
