I saw that joke coming a mile away, still laughed my ass off.

Black-ish really nails a lot of the racial disparities but it seems to struggle a lot with exploring gender roles. Like, it understands the broad strokes, starts to go into them, then suddenly leans back on the dated ideas.

Honestly, I can't argue with that. You're definitely right. I kind of was hoping that the B grade (and the review) emphasized that it was a pretty good, if not great, episode. I certainly didn't hate it, and it did have a dramatic weight to it that would definitely hit harder for children.

I love Danger 5 so, so much. Apparently the whole ISIS situation hurt development on the second season?

The Mortis plot started out promising and mysterious, but then it kind of got caught up in its own self-importance, losing a lot of focus on exactly who we're supposed to follow. The brother, who represented the darkness, was falling to the Dark Side, and it kinda didn't make sense, particularly in relation to the…

really is and a massive fortune."

Worthless is an amazing song. I put it #1 on my list of the most underrated songs in animated films (after the overzealous love given to the slightly-better-than-average Let It Go, I created a list that emphasized good songs from other films out there).

That's true, too, which is why the fallout didn't work so well. It's like the game forgot to emphasize the hypocrisy she was advocating, which made her come off more bitchy and less misguided/delusional. I definitely like the idea of playing around with the various levels of morality involved here (which the series…

Oh, man, if Sly 4 was more popular we'd be talking about the Penelope "controversy" as much as any video game controversy out there.

The Simpsons' switch to CGI isn't the problem per se. A lot of 'toons today are animated on computers. The problem is that the show is no longer utilizing some basic animation tricks (squash-and-stretch, exaggerations, smears and blurs, other principals of animation rules). That's what makes the show seems so stiff…

I love that it came off-screen. Like they improvised it in the recording booth and it was so good that they just put it in the episode.

Oh, man, if part 2 does anything related to gamergate it should get an automatic A.

Hahaha, yeah. Considering that one was one of the better episodes, if you didn't like it chances are you'll hate it.

If I'm understanding you correctly, that was a big thing in a lot of the late period mascot games, actually - the villain (or a villainous voice) pipes in on the loudspeaker and comments on everything, including some self-aware gags. Really, you can't never go wrong with that.

Anyone watch the Sonic Boom companion TV show? It's… not great, but it's pretty damn funny. I mean, it's clear CN wants nothing to do with it - they shoved it at 7AM on Saturday with no commercials, but I kinda feel like the finally nailed down the proper tone for how to tackle probably the most misaligned characters…

The rumor is that they hired him because he couldn't pronounce penguins. Which is fine… but the film never called attention to it, never made it into any type of joke. If you didn't know that before hand most likely you would've never noticed. Running gags are fairly lazy but the film could've had some fun with that,…

Honestly? I was kinda disappointed. I mean, the beginning with Herzog and the baby penguins was great, but overall it kind of felt like the film was playing it safe. I was expecting the rancid visual lunacy of Madagascar 3, while this kinda felt like a -slightly- sillier version of Kung Fu Panda.

I was thinking that if the crossover was a Treehouse of Horror episode it would've worked a hell of a lot better (in terms of contextualizing all the dumb shit happening on screen).

The first season wasn't amazing or anything, but it was really strong and put in a lot of work to emphasize the familial camaraderie between the brothers and Splinter, while having a tense, intriguing overall plot. It also avoided those generic TMNT stories that always pop up (Raph being emo and fighting Leo; Mikey…
