Good god! They really are reviving the old A.V. Club, aren’t they? What’s next? A takedown review by Ignatiy? The long-prophesied return of Snarkmaster General Sean O’Neal himself?!

As soon as I saw that he was being offered up for interviews, I thought, “This is someone who would’ve been an instant green-light candidate for the feature back in the day.” I was extremely happy to find that the new management agreed.

For the last two decades and change the CW (and the WB before it) was the best place to go for genre, soapy, teen-to-young-adult dramas that gave us a number of infinite classic shows (Veronica Mars, Gilmore Girls, Buffy, Angel, Dawson’s Creek, Charmed, Supernatural, Smallville, Vampire Diaries, all of Arrowverse, The…

Of course, that’s the only way an F4 set in the past could work in the context of the MCU. We’ve seen a lot of the Marvel timeline (from Captain America: The First Avenger to Hank Pym’s backstory in Ant-Man to the time-hopping in Avengers: Endgame), and no one has ever mentioned an eclectic group of scientist-heroes…

I hate this shit, man. I had the same sadness when Peter Falk was descending publicly into dementia.

That’s terrible. Right now, I’m caring for my mom, 70, who has Alzheimer’s. I watched both of my grandmother’s go through it. I feel terrible for Gena’s family and wish the greatest amounts of patience for them. It takes so much patience, living with someone suffering through this. I never knew I had this much…

Thoughts from an internet rando:

If you read about his personal life, this dude had horseshoes in both pockets.

49 is a young age to die it. Idk why people are being so semantical in reply to this. Obviously 49 is not a kid, but but it’s an age at which you still go “what happened???” when someone dies.

Middle aged is not young.

Fuck, I would. Dude was fewer than 10 years older than me.

JFC that’s young.

Give me a break... That just shows you don’t understand the difference between the tools. Both are shortcuts, yes, but even Photobashing takes exponentially more time and effort than GenAI.

You do understand that this is a perfect example of why people think AI is a bad idea, right? It makes people lazy and the product of lesser quality with mistakes such as the goddamn symbol for Superman getting mangled. Not to mention all the problems with loss of individual style and, you know, all the theft that…

The problem is not that they´re using AI but that they´re using AI and claiming it as their own work and not mentioning it is AI.

I overall disagree with this statement, and I hope it was meant as extreme hyperbole.  Maybe the reason it looks like Hollywood is less accountable is because it is more visible, but it is definitely not the most morally bankrupt place in the world, even if I lived there and thought pretty much everybody was a…

I would have thought the SCTV connection between Short and Levy would be more of an “of course” thing.

The big crossovers were wearing me down on the line; I still enjoyed much of what was published, but I was incredibly relieved when Dark Droids was over. It just seemed to go on forever. All of my favorite stuff from this era was outside these crossovers.

Huh?

we’ll never lose again
