But I’m saying putting all of that aside -- I would argue that she was as capable of knowing right from wrong as David who is a mentally ill, heavily abused adult -- that Syd has still made a number of questionable, manipulative, and morally grey choices especially when it’s come to David. Much of that has to do with…

I’m hoping some of Syd’s shortcomings will come back into focus. Whether or not we’re ever going to talk about her choices with her mom’s boyfriend again, the show is currently focusing all of the “he uses his powers for evil” attention on David and most of the characters have made questionable choices. It’s…

“Hey there professor, we got your shit!”

Legion significant music cues of the week

Janet Weiss beat the living shit out of a drum kit on SK’s roster and it is extremely punk of her to tap out when the band is going as commercial as possible..

it was on Carell’s head, obviously, to decide whether two beloved sitcom casts would be forced to slaughter each other in the streets—blood flowing in the gutters

For some reason I can’t stop laughing at this. I hate you.

Putting fingerful gloves on a fingerless creature is hardly letting the poor thing keep it’s dignity.  A pox on your house

This bird is really hoping you didn’t notice that fart.

Fixed the New Orleans Pelicans logo for you.

And yet you found no issue leaving fingers on your realistic Penguin. Your life’s work is a travesty 

I’m at a point in my life where I’d rather spend my time watching a movie or series that I haven’t seen before instead of rewatching something multiple times. I’ll watch The Office if I catch it on TV but if I’m streaming I’m usually going with something new.

I’ve been a big fan of his Cap series since the first issue, much more than Black Panther which I found (early on at least) so bluntly didactic as to completely interfere with the narrative. It’s not that I disagree with his points, they just felt told in an immature manner (which, coming from a first-time writer of…

ADV.

Because “I’m so fucked up” was an edgy translation of a line that actually was more along the lines of “I’m the worst” (“...Saitei da”).

I can’t read Japanese either, but given the fact that Shinji and Kaworu’s relationship in the rebuild movies is much less subtle, I seriously doubt this new version is accurately conveying the same tone as the original.

no, it was written as platonic love for shinji and mankind. 'like' does NOT suffice.

It’s closer to the original Japanese and also comports with the author’s stated original intent — which was that this was not written or intended to be subtext for a gay relationship.

I nearly abandoned Eva during the first episode because it seemed exactly like what you described. It was the standard cheesy anime tropes with cutsey anime girl Misato, the over dramatic “Get in the robot or we’ll send out that unconscious girl laid out on the stretcher who’s covered in bandages!” spiel, and the…

Arguably in retrospect Eva’s greatest issue is that it made its mecha exterior too enticing and interesting.
