Comedy impressions aren’t usually about accuracy; perfect impressions often aren’t as funny.

Yeah, you can just look at the comments in the first Deadspin article about this. Most automatically calling Neymar a raping piece of a shit, few (but some) people counseling, y’know, waiting to form an opinion.

First few minutes into the first episode and I was kind of annoyed there was no Russian accents, but giving it a little thought, ya, even if some these actors are good with accents, a bunch of British people (and a Swede) doing faux-Russian accents would be a bit silly.

Infinitesimal odds?

The Green New Deal is a talking point. It’s definitely not a policy proposal. The problem isn’t that it’s “impossibly ambitious,” though I’m sure some people say that. The problem is that it doesn’t actually propose solutions.

Ya, didn’t necessarily fit his character (tho maybe he was just super racist and we didn’t know it until then). But relative to the TV show, not necessarily important since we don’t spend much time with him, except to see he’s a hardass and hates Samwise.

The sympathetic protagonist executes the deserter because the deserter made an oath.

Few would argue that Daenerys turning into the Mad Queen and destroying King’s Landing wasn’t fitting, as it was foreshadowed multiple times through the show’s fascist imagery and her increasingly unhinged punishments. But, as many have pointed out, foreshadowing only feels worth anything if you can logically follow

Harold Ramis was dead.

Tbf I’ve made my complaints about Captain Marvel known. Fine movie production (as all Marvel movies are really) but Captain Marvel (character) is too similar from start to end. The arc is barely there. Hence the B-.

It’s called “writer-wants-clicks”

B-!

She also destroys a jukebox just to be Marvel-quippy.
