"Trust us, we don’t like typing out [joke title] any more than you like reading it": Crikey, enough with the whingeing! Marvel Studios is making movies that entertain the world, and you're sitting on a chair, looting a Variety article, and adding some cheap snark for clicks. Don't want to "report" on it? Then don't…

It's true that there is no quantitative, entirely objective difference between a multi-paragraph essay and a one-paragraph rant. But if you can't see that this was the latter and not the former, you're either lying or sorely in need of perspective. It's a rambling, one-paragraph rant with very little bridging one…

^ Notice, however, that they all consist of more than one paragraph, unlike this Twitter rant.

When I said "warrior", I actually meant "warrior", and not politician, as I'm fairly confident in guessing the action movie role in question is, indeed, one of a warrior.

Because she was writing a thoughtful and reasonable essay about a popcorn action movie, she researched various non-white badass warriors from recent history, instead of lazily naming the first POC peace activists that came to mind, any hint of context be damned.

But she was wrong to say my big sister should be the hero. She'd be useless, because she doesn't exist.

I don't want to derail the argument here, but since when is a one-paragraph Twitter screed a "rant", Mr. Hughes? Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I tend to think of essays as multi-paragraph arguments, often with topic sentences and such.

Fair, but Calvin and Hobbes, Bloom County, Doonesbury and The Far Side all ran together for a while, so there'd be a good chance of a few good strips each day. Also, I was a kid then, so it didn't feel as though the comics page actively hated me.

Reading the comics page is a profoundly depressing experience. Tiny, tired, repetitive (if not outright recycled) mediocrities by cartoonists long past their prime, if they're not literally long dead already. Ironic, how the "funny pages" can just about make one hate life itself…

The Republican Party has a pretty solid lock on domestic right-wingers (see David Duke's current run for Senate as a Republican, rather than some no-name far-right third party), so I don't know why one would split "right-wing" from "Republican". Whereas the reasons for splitting "conservative" from "right-wing" are…

Regarding the headline, right-wing ≠ conservative. Today's Republican Party is the former, but not the latter - especially with Biff Trumpen leading them. Words matter.

Speaking of Will Arnett-involving niche properties, a Hot Rod sequel or I'm not interested.

It makes plenty sense. If they figure that, because of their existing Marvel shows, they're unlikely to gain many additional subscribers from Marvel properties, then it logically follows that their money is better spent targeting a new, less-tapped audience.

Easy there, let's start with something more realistic, like Mayor of Hell's Kitchen. Hell's Kitchen is a city, right? Everybody talk about it like it's a city. I think Stick even mentioned that they officially renamed the island of Manhattan Hell's Kitchen after the Incident. So, she can start with being the mayor of…

You just made the same lame ad hominem insult twice. Don't you have anything better to do?

The MCU movies are overlapping productions of major-budget films. These Marvel/Netflix shows are consecutive season productions of modestly-budgeted TV. Horses of different colors.

The show reminds me a lot of Fight Club, in that it's a juvenile "the meek will kick the asses of the Earth" fantasy that's got just enough strong acting and genuine complexity for a certain kind of male geek to take it much more seriously than it deserves. It's a show about a white guy who's disabled yet still the…

If you think I care whether the Foot Clan or The Hand came first, you couldn't be more wrong; the point is they're both dimensionless cultural stereotypes. But at least the Foot Clan has the dignity to fight inherently silly heroes in what was originally intended as a satirical series (before it became straight-up…

He may not be the critic Daredevil fanboys want, but he's the one they need. Notice how he gave several S2 episodes B+ grades when it was good, and crap grades when it fell into a near-bottomless giant pit.

No, not that funny. It sounds like Defenders will be DD S3, and DD S3 will be DD S4. As for the crossover element, it was impressive when the movies did/do it, because Marvel Studios was/is juggling big stars and overlapping productions with massive budgets while reaching huge audiences. What Netflix/Marvel are doing…
