To add to the list, After the Thin Man is better than The Thin Man, but that's largely on Jimmy Stewart and the plot, not the comedy.

Oh so sorry to offend, clearly you're a true fan who has the last word on the subject, especially cause you don't know G. Willow Wilson is a woman. 

I do agree with that. 

Luckily Doreen’s most impactful powers are making friends and programming, which are both very cheap to recreate.

I don’t think that’s accurate. In the trailers you can slightly see she’s slightly projecting her body shape using her powers , and Sana Amanat has explicitly said the embiggened fist smackdown is happening in the TV show. It seems more like Green Lantern maybe? Not just pew pew pew

Directly from her first writer, G. Willow Wilson, this was probably a good call. "I think there're some characters who are very much set up for the big screen; they're very naturally sort of cinematic. But with Ms. Marvel, we really weren't interested in creating something that had very obvious film potential. [...]…

You could have guessed from the second they put her in a TV show that they were junking the original powers. It’s just too expensive to thread the needle between ‘body horror’ and ‘realistic enough to not look crappy’ for that many hours of content. I’d rather her be derivative than derided, like Medusa’s hair from…

Ah yes, the Ralph Bellamy problem

Just FYI for anyone looking for a fun, comfort movie in the vein of traditional rom-coms . . . half of the movies above are not actually rom-coms by many definitions. The Half of It is a not a bad movie, but it’s really a kind of downer, not particularly funny coming-of-age story. If you go in expecting a rom-com you…

‘Book purists’ aren’t really the problem, I don’t think Riordan would have a problem with people disliking or even tuning out of the adaptation because of that. No matter what, filmed adaptations will always disappoint book fans by not being true enough to the book. Bullying and harassing a kid online is the problem,…

There are still competitors out there. You might want to check out Mighty Player? It's basically a Shuffle but it works with Spotify too. 

I still can’t believe that Jackson Pollack joke made it in to a PG-13 Disney movie

🤷 that’s getting into pretty pedantic territory. I’d rather keep it simple and just go by season numbers + “and specials”. 

It came out in 2018, so not really? They could have made at least a second one before the pandemic. In addition to the screenwriting contract dispute, it’s a victim of the makers’ own success and lack of foresight in contracting. It was pretty tricky to schedule Jon Chu, Constance Wu, Gemma Chan, and Henry Golding in…

The books/movies are very clearly updates to the Jane Austen rich society satire (with a bit of romantic comedy). Almost the entire point is that they’re not in touch.

Similarly to Star Trek, I cannot comprehend how someone can be so into such humane properties and still be a massive asshole about gender and race. Obvi neither of the shows are perfect, but to some extent they’ve always been progressive and interested in universal respect and compassion. I hope these losers are sticki…

No NuWho doctor has done more than three seasons. She’s done her time. It is a tough break that she got the COVID years and the truly execrable Flux season I guess

I would assume so? Third Scottish doctor in NuWho though, so in a way completely according to script.

It’s relatively likely to change. He’s the second youngest actor to play the Doctor. As they did with Matt Smith, I think the show is going to lean in to how young and cute he is. My perception might be skewed because I was a high school girl at the time, but Doctor Who fandom seemed like it went through the roof when…

For sure skimpy salary, built in nepotism, class BS, etc. But also the royal family literally lives in palaces, palaces whose historical purpose was partially to house mountains of staff. Is this job not high enough up that housing and board would be included?
