I’m not sure I’d even say seasons 1-4 were “good”. It certainly was fresher back then, even though most ridiculous to some kind of entertaining degree. But there were a lot of painful stupid things happening early on. And I’m not just complaining about some of the choices that were made due to budget cuts ( like…

Did anyone ever right a review article like this one above that says “that’s basically impossible” to enjoy one Batman series without investing time and effort in watching all the previous version of Batman?

The Lance Banson fight in Henry Hatsworth is also great...with just nonsense italian musical words thrown in for lyrics.

I would expect it to be something like Crazy Rich Asians, in that, yeah, there’s a bunch of very specific cultural stuff going on, but most of that really doesn’t affect to overall storyline which is more universal in nature.

Nope. I simply don’t have enough time to watch all the shows that I want to watch in the first place. 

It’s not surprising. It’s the last week before all the kids go back to school. My guess is that if they had some afternoon showings, there was probably a ton of day-camp traffic.

I was planning on watching this show, but now after reading this review I think I’ll skip it. I really have no interest in watching 6 seasons of animation to “understand” a character.

I’m amazed that essentially a YouTube review channel can actually be “a media empire worth $100 million”.

Yeah, there’s no way they could’ve just gone to a clothing store and done the exact same thing...

I think part of that equation is due to the fact that for the most part, Star Trek has been mostly self-contained episodes with running threads of continuity ( since I refuse to pay for another subscription service just to watch Star Trek, this might have changed on these new series), which makes it easier to do the…

I think that during the covid lockdown years, that math changed considerably. WW2 was changed from a make a billion in the theatres to “let’s drive subscriptions to HBO Max using it”.  There’s a lot of hidden unknowns in terms of how successful that was, and what the expectations were.

but bodysnatching a a rando gets you the hilarious scene of Steve trying on 80's fashion!!! That was certainly worth it, right?

Is this really $300K in retail sales price? Or expected value of someone opening up every pack and selling each card individually?

Using a musical episode as an example of “risk taking” is pretty weird, as those are fairly obvious flights of silliness that everyone knows really doesn’t break the status quo....that seems like it would overwhelmingly outlive it’s welcome if they did more than a single of episode. It’s sort of the height of…

Star Wars didn’t reskin Luke, Leia, and Han. The fandom DEMANDED that they try and reskin Luke, Leia, and Han and it took them three movies to finally just turn Poe and Finn into Han Solo and Rey into Luke.

The magic part of the Disney is that they elaborately decorate the parts the that the customers see....the “back stage” areas of the rides are still effectively soundstage warehouses.

Part of the “charm” was that the hotel rooms were actually part of the larping experience ( basically, here’s your cramped bunk like it would be on a cruise ship in space).  Pulling out the parp aspect basically leaves you with over-sized Japanese capsule hotel storage rooms.

“Wasn’t very good” has NEVER cancelled a project if the first movie made a lot of money.

jeez. Mario Kart 8 sold 55 million copies?

If it’s only soulless AFTER someone mentions how it is was done, is it really soulless?
