Why should it be a dichotomy, though? I think a good critic should delve into both.

Well, I just meant people critical of that particular plot point (though I think at least a couple of professional critics took issue with it). If that's what you meant, though, that's fair enough. I just mentioned it because that was the justification I kept hearing for not liking it. It could just be that my regular…

Well, to be fair to the critics, I think a lot of them were coming at it from the point of view of 'this thing millions of people are going to watch is reinforcing the harmful idea that a woman who can't have kids is somehow broken and should be pitied because they will never find fulfillment and thus can't count as a…

Plus, one should think the significant other should have a say on whether they want to put themselves in the risky position of dating someone with super-powered nemeses.

Actually, the thing with the married lover was an excuse she made up to cover up the fact that she was essentially stalking Luke. If you recall, when the cheating wife goes to confront Jessica, she tells her that her husband didn't know about the affair and adds 'he knows now"

Yeah, that's a fair point. I'd actually like to see them go another route with them. Even in the comics I think Luke and Jessica work better separately than as a couple, and, given the stuff with Reva on the show, I think it would serve the characters better and feel more realistic to have them maybe work together but…

To be fair, I don't think the show means for us to see Jess having sex with Luke without telling him about Reva as anything other than really, really fucked up and not acceptable in the slightest. Even (especially?) Jessica pretty much hates herself for it.

As someone who lives in a city whose worst disaster in decades has
indeed been an earthquake, I didn't find that too hard to believe, to be
honest. Especially considering the earthquake was destructive enough to
make that bridge crumble. If National City is not a city that gets a
lot of them and most of the…

Somehow, I get the impression SHIELD does not know the meaning of the expression 'work-life balance'.

There is actually other kinds of excrement! Most of the body's waste products can be called excrement, since it's stuff that's excreted. It's just mostly used for poop.

Which is why I said it wasn't so much of a problem with this review.

While this is true, you wouldn't review 'How to Lose a Man in Ten Days' using the same criteria you would use to review an Aronofsky film.
