I just can’t picture Ron flying off the handle at some of the insanely petty stuff that Jonah did. But Shannon can do both insane and petty and vindictive quite well as evinced in his previous roles. Offerman/Ron just seems too chill even when he does get so angry his mustache bristles.

College football guy had to hold back one middle aged coach. This guy has to stop an entire bench of large dudes.

Too bad Giannis is normally doing awesome basketball things because with his length he could corral the benches of both teams.

Yeah if Peter’s spider sense went off every time he was near a gun then he’d be on a constant buzz cause he lives in New York and also the same city as The Punisher. If someone is about to use a gun near him however, that would trigger the sense. Hence the “danger radar” you describe.

“try-hard abrasiveness” is a great description of that character. I agree with the OP that she wouldn’t have been “cool” she would have been kind of ostracized for acting like that. Like how the “21 Jump Street” remake showed that people don’t really go for the stereotypical jock bully as popular anymore, being mean…

I was thinking Michael Shannon as next JJJ to be honest. He is a guy who is really good at playing intense and distasteful characters who seem kind of normal at first but the more time you spend with them the more terrifying they get. Plus, he’s good at mustaches. I haven’t seen Nick Offerman in a role where he seems…

And 3/4 crazy for “Birdman”

And 3/4 crazy for “Birdman”

Initially I thought that Stark would hang around Peter a lot because he was trying to get with his hot aunt (I mean, who could blame him she’s played by Marisa Tomei) after seeing his reaction to her in “Civil War”. However, he really seemed committed to making sure that Pete gets to be well rounded as a hero and…

Your post reminds me of the Spider-Man game that came out after the first Tobey Maguire movie where he doesn’t sling his webs off of buildings or anything like in later iterations, but instead his webs just attach to the top of the screen and he goes about as if he was webbing into some invisible dome and it never…

I also made the mistake of assuming that since the show only gave her a default emotion of moody, up until this point, that it was all she could do. I should have learned my lesson after thinking that about Kristen Stewart and Krysten Ritter and then being proven quite wrong when they’ve been given different material…

I was kind of the opposite. A lot of the episode felt like smug Easter Eggs or references to what the audience already knows has happened to the character. Like Nora saying something along the lines of her family doesn’t even exist, and things of that nature. The whole “see what we did there” tone kind of ruined what…

“Because this episode is playing ninth in the season and not earlier, every little detail in it becomes an Easter egg of sorts, an ‘I see what you did there’ laden with portentous resonance”

I feel like the GR aren’t quite a cult of depression, but rather enforced numbness. Those can be similar, a lot of overlap, being depressed can result in a lot of numbness to external stimulation. But I think their main focus is constantly reminding people of October 14th and the repercussions of the event, to prevent…

Yeah the show deserves critique for how the only minority characters seem to just exist to further the plot of the white characters: we only see the mayor when she’s interacting with Kevin, Wayne is the head of a cult so he interacts with a lot of people but then leaves and his story/relationship with Christine is…

I think you expressed a legitimate complaint about how the show assumed that everyone was familiar with a smalltown, mostly WASP-ish setting and barely bothered to build a bridge to people from other cultures who might be watching the show and not feel a connection to many things that Perrotta or Lindelof assume are…

Well hate crimes can also happen based on religious motivations and the person in question on the show was stoned to death because they were a member of the Guilty Remnants religion which many see as a dangerous cult, hence the violence against them.

Same with religion, which is why I think they invoked the “hate crime” term in the show, because the person was killed due to their status as a member of the Guilty Remnant religion/cult. I think they used such a powerful term on the show to display how in the years since people were “raptured” the GR has risen to…
