Doom Patrol was a thing of beauty. It managed to be both batshit crazy, taking the weirdest ideas from Grant Morrison’s run, and extremely easy to follow.

Cloak & Dagger is a version of Legion that manages to be understandable. I guess that the stakes are so low for this show that some of the suits at Marvel don’t closely monitor the show.
Also, it’s not the first time that a producer contributes to ruining some project. Remember Spider-Man 3. Sure, it was Sam Raimi who directed it, but it was Avi Arad who forced him to use Venom with two other villains, as he took his decisions based on toy sales. Raimi never managed to find a proper balance, and…
It also doesn’t help that John Dahl, who directed the pilot, shot the first fight in broad daylight, without any real possibility to rely on a stunt double, and with some very clumsy editing, which actually emphasized even more Jones’ shortcomings. Some fights in the second half of the season found some way to lessen…
It definitely sucked. And they moved exactly at the same pace as the second season of Daredevil.
I’m not even a fan of the MCU, I’ve found Captain Marvel quite meh, and I’d gladly compare the final hour of Avengers: Endgame to the equivalent of a corporate PowerPoint presentation celebrating the accomplishment of a five-year business plan. I regard Kevin Feige as somebody who’s had an extremely successful run at…
What’s kept Netflix’s Marvel superheroes from really being super?
Renaldo and Clara exists in two versions. The original one, which was released in the US to disastrous reviews, with a lot of improvised scenes involving non-actors, and the international version, which trims a lot of the semi-fiction stuff, and keeps the concert footage. I’ve seen the second version, and there is…
DC Universe may be folded into the forthcoming Warner streaming service (their Disney+ competitor) that’s supposed to be released next year in the US. The service will have a few tiers, and stuff like the DC Universe or the HBO content is supposed to be the rewards for the upper tiers.
What, nothing about his collaboration with the Rolling Stones?
A few years ago, John Carpenter’s The Ward got a C-.
When they aired, someone compared the commercials to the Roadrunner cartoons, and it was a fair point. Hodgman was funnier and a victim of his own failures, while Long didn’t attack him in any way.
During the first season of The Good Fight, every main cast member, but Delroy Lindo, was a woman. The three leads are Christine Baranski, Rose Leslie and Cush Jumbo. It’s about as female-centric a show as possible, so Margulies’ argument of fighting for every woman holds zero water.
Is that where you’re supposed to ask for the Snyder cut?
I played ME3 when it was released, so I had the original ending, even before the partial fix from the Extended Cut, and I had no interest in revisiting it when the EC was available. Then, after ME1 was ported to the PS3 and the ME3 DLCs were on sale, I had a run-through with the same Shepard (FemShep) and all the DLC…
Even better, complete the first half of Citadel, get to the ending, then start the party, as if it were a flashback. It gives you the closure that the actual ending fails to provide.
You also have Pierce Brosnan in The Ghost.
Iannucci retweeted most of the praise addressed at Mandel last night and today. He definitely doesn’t mind the last three seasons.
Even with all the valid comparisons to Game of Thrones, I’m mostly thinking about the way The Good Wife ended, as, almost out of the blue, Alicia Florrick turns into a cold, calculating character in the last minutes of the finale, with a callback to the pilot that isn’t that marking. Veep, on the other hand, earned…
Iannucci is still being credited as an executive producer, which means that he gets sent every script before production, and he can make contributions. It wouldn’t surprise me if the Georgian leader had originally made a more generic reference, and Iannucci rewrote the line to be much more specific.
