The one good thing I can say about Happytime Murders is that it was a lot of fun to watch while I was high. I wouldn’t recommend it sober.

I mean, this whole dynamic is always present any time capital is bound by contracts: they have the resources to lopside the contracts in the first place, and the resources to find and exploit the loopholes, which labor typically does not (or not nearly to the same degree). That exploitation is always visible by its…

Like I said, I wouldn’t be surprised. And it should be easy enough to find evidence.

implying that he himself is also out of touch for asking such an outdated question.

Very late analysis, but: I think maybe Willa is just playing it very safe and assuming that if she complained about Connor to Shiv, Shiv might tell Connor. She’s smart not to trust any of these people.

I wouldn’t be surprised, although coincidences do happen: Purdue could have noticed the pain thing and seen an opportunity. (They’re still monsters either way.)

I think Fury’s real goal was to get to Ritson and convince him to call off the strike. To that end, if Ritson is surrounded by guards, Fury can’t get to him. So he uses Sonya (who !Rhodey trusts) to get !Rhodey to move Ritson, which makes the guards vulnerable, and once all the guards are down, Fury can get to Ritson.

I sort of don’t care, because my conclusion after a couple years of the Marvel live-action TV shows (everything since WandaVision) is that it was all a mistake and they never should have made any of these shows. As much as I enjoyed some elements of some of them, narratively the whole thing has effectively been a…

Just as long as it’s not hate sex!

If this is the best writing a human can do

That’s the kind of thing that speaks to whoever wrote the dialogue on this show not knowing how to write dialogue. Characters were constantly saying things that made no sense in context, that they would never say. Ross wakes up and asks Rhodey how long he’s been there. What the fuck? He should have said “Where the…

What if we found out that Sam had actually been a Skrull AI this whole time?

Didn’t read the article, comment took six seconds. De minimis!

-diregard, wrong comment-

And sullying the good name of Timothy Dalton, to boot.

Jesus, why is anyone spending time on any of this shit?

Remember, folks: All idols are false idols.

“Bible-based cult”

Makes me wonder if there was influence from Purdue (et. al.) on JCAHO to do that. “Regulatory overreach” doesn’t remotely seem like the problem here; hospitals absolutely should be heavily regulated! “Blame the government which is answerable to the people, not the private corporation which is only answerable to its…

Elongated Muskrat’s “ideology” can be summarized as “I’m rich, and therefore I’m an expert on everything, and should be in charge of everything, and all my ideas are good, and everyone should pay attention to me.”
