Funny thing, I think the film reworks elements from those early issues to good effect. In particular, it takes a concept the 60s Captain Marvel comics don’t really handle properly — alien hero with divided loyalties — and does it much better, I thought. Twice, in fact, since Carol and Wendy both get parts of the…

Reading the complaints about how the movie has interpreted Mar-Vell, I find it very interesting that half the dudes on the internet are suddenly such huge fans of a character whose series was cancelled almost 50 years ago because nobody was reading it.

Yes, right, Disney is buying out theaters. Because their financial disclosures aren’t audited, and they wouldn’t expose themselves to endless shareholder liability if they were fudging revenue numbers.

What, was Disney too lazy to pull this kind of conspiracy for Solo?

For your daily reminder that today’s parents are doing a terrible job of raising their children AND that the internet is leading those children down a moral sewer in their place, I’m told (no, I don’t have a link, shut up) that the latest disinformation campaign among the babymen and their wildly insufficient penises…

Plus it has 100% more cat than other Marvel movies!

It’s almost like popular shows are popular for a reason.

I’m not surprised Captain Marvel is doing well, the secret ingredient is...it’s good.

Netflix’s top shows are the top shows for the same reason that TBS was surviving for DECADES with reruns of Friends, Seinfeld, Family Guy, and others. People want to watch these shows, especially to kill time. Now they can do it whenever they want, instead of when TBS wants them to.

Does Netflix’s interface suck ass? Fuck yes it does. Is there a ton of garbage on it’s servers? Yep. Do I get option fatigue from scrolling through the plethora of shows and movies, resulting in sometimes a whole night of trying to decide what to waste my time on? I sure do.

“Nobody I know watches this” describes literally everything on CBS, but I don’t think this makes them liars. They just don’t have any shows I care about. I don’t get how a TV critic can be so confounded that The Masses have different tastes than critics.

This would certainly explain why Game of Thronesspawned an entire cottage industry while it would be remarkable if you’ve ever heard a human person talk about You or Sex Education out loud, but who can say? Not me, because I don’t and can’t know if Netflix is telling the truth—and not Netflix, because their numbers…

This. Amazon Video has better content as far as Prime elegible movies plus you can always rent if there is something in particular you want. Once Disney movies are off the service it’ll be pretty barren

Netflix’s movie selection is god-awful, too. It takes an eternity to sort through all the random Netflix Originals I’ve never heard of and then it’s just a bunch of dross. 

I’ve read this twice and I’m still not entirely sure what the point of this rant is. That people prefer comfort food over new stuff? Well, sure. That’s been the case since TV began. (And I’ll always have a Law & Order on when I’m doing chores.) Netflix wants people to stay home and watch Netflix? Well, duh. It’s hard…

I confess that I don’t have much of an opinion about Netflix’s future outside of the patently clear fact that their diminishing library of popular shows from the past means they’ll no longer fit the “I’ll just watch a few episodes of X before bed” impulse that used to make them a great and cheap alternative to cable.

1. I was LEGITIMATELY relieved when Antoni did not try and show the Jones sisters how to cook. “Your bbq is legendary, but have you thought about making grilled cheeses?”
2. When the one sister got her teeth fixed, I wept openly. My mother went through the same lifelong feelings about her teeth before she got them…

THERE IS A FAB FIVE EPISODE OF NAILED IT? WHY DID I NOT KNOW THIS.

So you’ve manage to see these new shows ahead of all the rest of us?

I have a confession to make. I’m a 32 year old straight male who played football in college and, until recently, still dabbled in the the type of toxic masculinity that prevented me from sharing my feelings with those closest to me. My 7 year old daughter came across the Fab Five on an episode of Nailed It and asked…
