One should never apologize for bringing up White Man in Hammersmith Palais.

Morrissey Must Die is terrific. I do like their Led Zeppelin diss track, though I prefer Screeching Weasel's less subtle "I Hate Led Zeppelin" which has the lyric, "Bonzo's buried, only three more left!" I like Led Zeppelin, but I do enjoy how much punk bands hated them.
Foggy alludes to Matt getting disbarred in their opening conversation, and jokes about not wanting to go forward without him. He's right: that is the best case scenario, and Foggy knows it. If Matt gets outed as Daredevil, Foggy will likely lose his license to practice law as well, for aiding and abetting criminal…
I've seen this one episode. I'm not watching ahead. But the Punisher is always a more interesting character as a commentary on the excesses of vigilante heroes than as a heroic badass. If the Punisher actually existed, it would be horrifying, and the show treats it as such. And really, the only difference between the…
But isn't the fact Foggy can find the same info as Matt without resorting to vigilante, and frankly illegal, methods a valid criticism of Daredevil? Doesn't the violence perpetuated by DD create the environment in which the Punisher can now exist?
Exactly. Someone's entirely reasonable complaints are viewed as nagging because it keeps the main character from being a full badass without any human consequence. Imagine how pissed you'd be if you found out your friend had been lying to you for the entire length of your relationship. He's been betrayed, and has…
Turk is supposed to be a bit of a comic relief character, even though he is a criminal prone to violence. I wasn't a fan of turning him into a human trafficker, as that makes it harder to laugh at his scenes. Selling crappy guns out of his trunk to terrified low-level thugs? Comedy gold.
Yeah, she loves the Turtles cartoon and likes Teen Titans, but she won't read anything on them. She's too young for Lumberjanes (who are not superheroes), but I really want her to start reading it.
My daughter swings wildly back and forth between liking the old or the new version. She prefers the old Willy Wonka because, well, of course she does. But she is way into the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. She liked a few episodes of the new Pound Puppies, but when I searched for episodes, I could only find the 80s…
At what age did y'all introduce your kids to the comic books? Lil Poseur is about to turn 4, and she has shown no interest in comics, though she does like reading (or attempting to). I don't want to miss my window to get her hooked on Squirrel Girl.
Never been a fan of the comic, but I love the show. The animation, the characters, and the overall tone are just spot on. Raven, a character I can largely do without on the page, is just genius on the show as the moody teenager who is too cool for all of this. My 4 year old girl, of course, loves Starfire.
Well, it's not like she's an important character. Or the kids. I don't want 12 episodes on him being tortured by memories of his wife… I want tracksuit bros. I would suggest divorce, but they seem to well-adjusted to go down that path.
Or go the opposite direction: Kill his family, and have him move to NYC. Which would give him a reason in the MCU to be as messed up as the Fraction Hawkeye. You introduce Kate Bishop as the person taking his mantle because he's such a mess, maybe even have the LA Woman episodes so you can afford Renner by having him…
Mudhoney is not a minor thing.
As many have noted, the lack of Into Yer Shtik by Mudhoney is a terrible oversight. It's the gold standard for Courtney Love diss tracks.
Scanned the article for this exact song. You beat me to the outraged comment.
I like reviewers with their own point of view, so I'm okay with disagreeing with the recapper, but… man, I felt like I was watching an entirely different show than Sava.
Repo Man was my introduction to punk rock. That song pretty much defined my musical taste for the rest of my life.
I'm willing to indulge an alternate timeline in which Mike Watt is always in the Stooges. So long as we still get the Minutemen.
I've got a vinyl edition that has both versions. I like playing them back to back to really pick up on the value of production (sorry, I love the muddled 1st version better), and also to scare the crap out of my dog.
