I don’t know what the cost aspect is, but I’d be totally fine if they just went back to Disqus. It’s simple enough, easy to follow threads, basic upvotes if that’s your thing, block functions, etc.

Huh. That’s awesome. Can’t wait to use it one day. Oh wait, darn. No fiber in my area despite “we swear its coming” promises for the last 10 years

Yeah, it’ll be a terrible move if they go the paid subscriber route for comments for AVC like they did with Jez. One of the main appeals of this place was an active commenting community. You could read quality writing but then jump into the comments in have useful discussions. Or you could just spout of endless…

I use to love these in the mid 00s. Had no idea they were still going (well, they aren’t now but you get it)

AV Club and The Takeout got sold. Removing the comments is probably the first step in taking them off the Kinja platform.

Maybe they weren’t sure how successful the show would be and if it would get renewed, so as big fans of X-Men, they just tried to get as many of their favorite arcs into the limited run they were given

I’ve always loved this show but this has always been my biggest critique. They take great comic arcs and burn thru the entire story in one or two episodes. Yes, I know its a “kids show”, but kids do have attention spans contrary to popular belief. You just need to engage them and X-Men is certainly engaging. We had…

Tax write offs, debt maneuvering, etc. They just keep passing stuff along until some unlucky buyer gets caught holding the bag and loses all the money they paid.

Just a quick glance since you mentioned it, not sure that would be a good idea if they want a robust comment section. The couple of articles I looked at on Jez had 0 comments on them

I would think so too but I also don’t think there’s much of that user base left. A huge chunk of it left when Spanfeller took over the first time. Columns that would have 1000 comments would have like 500. Then it dropped to like 200. Now a popular show might get 50 to 75 tops. Most pieces barely crack 10 to 20. Now…

Was coming to ask the same thing. I would guess its because they are sold and will be taken off the platform like Deadspin was (though they had comments turned off long before). They’ve also turned comments off on Kotaku but that was because people were rightly giving management shit for how they were treating the…

Bustin is good for your health

A stormtrooper is made a human character? It’ll be so cool to see him struggling with his past!

Once again we have learned that the internet is full of awful people that should mind their own business.

I didn’t much like season 1 and didn’t care if it got renewed or not. But I thought season 2 was much better than the first. The directorial decisions they made definitely improved the show. I’m not one of those types that gets all hung up on what is or isn’t canon, how closely things track to the game, or whatever.…

It was badass. I’ve never been a Cyclops fan but whoever made this certainly was because they definitely made it a point to show him off.

Disappointed to see they are grilling cheese on the outside of the crispy taco. The grilled cheese offerings have been the worst things TB has done imo because it makes everything so disgustingly greasy.

Cowards.

Are they doing LCK? I know its been standard but I don’t remember them mentioning it in the episode. Usually either Tom or Padma (in this case, Kristen) will say “but you’ll still have a chance in LCK”. Maybe Tom really didn’t like that hat comment and was like “No LCK for you!”

That theme song gets me so hyped I feel like I could run thru a brick wall. This was excellent. Some of the action scenes looked really good, but the animation on some of character moments looks a little stilted (a minor nitpick). One thing I hope they change from the original (but I doubt they will) is I hope they…
