Yes. Stop watching. For real.

Seriously though, it is one of those shows and stories that has stuck with me and resonated with me in a way that very few things have. I’ve watched the complete series numerous times and find it holds up incredibly well.
I wouldn’t say you’re a horrible person and deserve to die. Then again, I wouldn’t not say it... Anyway, I loved it, but to each their own. In regard to your thoughts...
I’m also not the biggest fan of Korra. Overall I think it is much weaker, even though I do like the last 2 seasons.
It’s a sci-fi story that clearly establishes its rules and sticks to them-it doesn’t make them up as it goes along. If that sounds appealing, I highly recommend it.
Thanks! I haven’t heard of Steins;Gate, I’ll definitely check it out.
Oooh! Yes, I forgot about Person of Interest’s finale and just posted about Halt and Catch Fire. Those two shows just grew into something far beyond the promises of their initial premises and had mind blowingly great endings. And Avatar: The Last Airbender was great as well. Legend of Korra actually had a pretty…
One more great finale and I’ll probably stop...
Halt and Catch Fire. Amazing show all the way through with an incredible ending. It may have wrapped up a bit too nicely in some regards, but I loved it for a multitude of reasons.
Oh! I nearly forgot, but Cowboy Bebop had about as perfect an ending to a series as possible. Again, it’s not a traditional TV show since it’s only a single-series show, but it did a great job of wrapping up the series.
The truly great finales (series finales, I might add) that come to mind besides You’re The Worst for me would probably be (in no particular order);
Good finales are well-written, well-acted, and well-executed; perfect finales are all of the above, and most importantly, have earned every beat they try to hit. This 1000% falls in the latter, and will very likely end up as one of my all-time favorite comedy finales, considering that it truly managed to sum up…
Initial thoughts...
I loved the ending. All of the plotlines seemed to resolve and make sense. I also thought it made a great point about the institution of marriage as opposed to the sentiment of staying with somebody because you chose to. It was perhaps not the emotional landmine that Edgar’s conversation with Jimmy…
I mean...you might be onto something there.
I don’t feel like your first argument really works. In point A you’re saying the Joker doesn’t need an origin story, and in point B you’re giving an example of a bunch of talented people making an incredible Joker origin story to universal acclaim. And Killing Joke is very much a Joker story that Batman is in, not the…
Why? The Joker is an incredibly popular character for a reason, he’s awesome.
I think it read as a straight-up autobiography that he may have made up. From what I remember (it’s been a while for me as well) there was just enough ambiguity for that to have been a possibility, and yet it read sincere enough to either be his origin story or at least have some shades of truth to it. Which I like,…
Perhaps...
That said, I think it still works. As a story, it looks like it provides some depth to the character. Also, depending how they work it, they could provide enough ambiguity so that it is just the recollection of a mentally ill criminal making sense of his past through the lens of somebody literally insane.…
Awful good!
.....I’ll show myself out. But seriously, and with all due respect, I think this looks fantastic. To each their own.
I feel like I’m all on this despite myself. On paper, the concept looked like a dumpster fire. In execution...it looks what they described it as. Namely a fantastic looking case study of a man who succumbs to mental illness and becomes a villain.
While I like the ambiguity of the Joker in the comics, I think The…
Have you ever heard of anything masculine-coded as someone’s guilty pleasure?
