I was really hoping Future Quest would be on the same level as Parker and Shaner's excellen Flash Gordon series, but it's really suffering from A) An overload of characters, and B) A self-seriousness apparently borne from not wanting to call to mind the Williams Street versions of the characters. And frankly, they…

Yeah, Wacky Raceland had a great concept and shitty execution. Scooby Apocalypse had okay concept and even decent execution, but just bad writing. Future Quest is like six issues now of nothing but exposition, and Shaner needs to draw faster. Flintstones is the best of them by a country mile.

God, Wacky Raceland was so fucking boring. That's a damn gritty for the sake of gritty reboot. And such a good concept.

They're in middle school, and they're both kind of outcasts, which has made for some great storytelling avenues, as opposed to on the show when they were basically just set dressing.

The Flintstones was always meant to be a social satire, it's just that now it's a good one. Sure, it sometimes gets dark, but I wouldn't lump it in with other "gritty" reboots, because it's not just dark for the sake of cheap laughs or shock value, they've actually thought it through.

No, no, it was the introduction of Slipknot. Because after every other member of the Squad gets fancy onscreen logos, and origin flashbacks, and signature songs, and training montages, an SUV pulls up right before they leave and out steps… some dude. "This is Slipknot," says Waller, visibly stopping herself from…

Ehh. It's the way of things. Best of lists start in December.

No, Captain America knocked down a retractable hallway that was still supported on one side to attack a teenager who he had already seen demonstrating astonishing strength, speed, and agility, and who had not five seconds before took a full strength shield hit to the face without any ill effect. That's SIGNIFICANTLY…

I'd give it to "Shiny". Not only is it a great villain song in the classic Disney tradition, with epic visuals and a mix of whimsy and menace, but Jermaine Clement's Bowie impression is on point.

Urinetown. Channing Tatum as Bobby (I know he's probably too busy, let me dream), Karen David as Hope, John Lithgow as Cladwell, Audra McDonald as Pennywise, Quvenzhané Wallis as Little Sally, and Nathan Fillion as Lockstock.

And that song isn't even in the fucking show.

Thing is, there are legal issues associated with that. The show would basically have to be planning that since before it opened to get the rights squared away, and the money people would fear it eating into ticket sales anyway. She Loves Me only got away with it because it was closing that week. I do like the idea of…

When I was a kid, Cyclops was my favorite X-Men character, and I just keep waiting for a movie to do right by him. Marsden would have been a fantastic Cyclops if given the chance.

Hammond was still doing an impression of the 1980s Donald Trump, the high status buffoon. He didn't have a handle on the small, mean, angry old man that Trump has become.

I don't think it really counts as username comment synergy when it's a gimmick account.

The only thing I have seen him in is Trainwreck, and I thought he was really good in it.

You can't deny it's entirely within canon for that family. Fred and George sold love potions at their store. Which was also pretty gross. Definitely one of the worse elements of the series.

That's literally every time travel story. They all have issues like that.

I was glib, I admit, but a LOT of the criticism I read of it was things like "Time turners don't work that way" (addressed in the script) and "Harry would never be a bad dad" (He wasn't, particularly, and why shouldn't he have issues?)

The show got fantastic reviews from people who've actually seen it. The script got pretty good reviews from people who know what scripts are. The script got bad reviews from people who wanted another Harry Potter novel and were upset that he didn't grow up to be perfect.
