I would rather those shows also continue to tell their own stories, if they were to stay on the air (RIP Daredevil). Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. could have easily dealt with the effects of the snap, but it improved itself largely by stepping away from the movies and telling its own story (although the massive Winter…

Life-long Spidey fan here, and I agree with this take 100%. I was so excited to see Spider-Man finally in the MCU, and portrayed as an actual kid to boot. But the version they’ve given us is only the Spidey I recognize on the surface level. I was the only person in my group of friends who didn’t like Homecoming, and…

I’d rather they just retcon this out of existence, because the implications of the 5-year-gap so overshadow any superhero shenanigans that are meant to be the centerpiece of this world. And said implications are going to be super difficult for each franchise to deal with, while also telling their own stories.

I don’t understand this Beyonce worship, and don’t think I ever would. Why would I want to spend my day being the servant to a demanding pop star?

Pissed Pete

Maybe she’ll come back more like comic book Sofia - in a wheelchair and neckbrace. I know that makes no sense for a gunshot wound to the head, but it’s Gotham. Anything is possible.

I just saw it today, and loved it, but agree that the comparisons with those movies is overplayed. It’s much more like Heavenly Creatures.

I feel like the reason it took so long to get started is that the show wanted to hold the mother reveal back from the press preview episodes. It was the first 5 episodes that were given over early, right? And the reveal came in episode 6?

Not what we expect? Oh SHIT, MONGOOSE ATTACK!!!

I would like to further correct the Orcrist NYT correction linked. Bilbo Baggins does not wield a sword in The Hobbit; Sting was a dagger.

It’s offering DVDs and blu-rays as well. It just has old VHS tapes as well.

The same thing for me! The AV Club recommendation and the descriptions “American Psycho meets Heathers” actually got me, and normally I just ignore buzz words.

I was already planning to check this out this weekend, because the trailers looked interesting and I had just got my Moviepass. Now I’m even more excited.

My guess on Ahsoka is that either she only arrived back at a time after Return of the Jedi from the World Between Worlds, or she was stranded on Malachor for the duration of the OT (which would be a great story in and of itself - a way to frame a deep-dive into Jedi and Sith history).

Right, but Ezra was doing some pretty crazy Force stuff, holding the ship together, which was presumably meant to be keeping him alive as well (with his implied survival). It’s possible that he included Thrawn in that as well, but I don’t know why he would.

My feeling from the ending is that Thrawn died, but it was ambiguous. It’s possible that he survived along with Ezra - although I really feel like being wrapped in the tentacles of a purrgil as it accelerated into hyperspace would vaporize you, even if you were on the bridge of a Star Destroyer mere feet away from…

Hey! Canada and the South and Central American countries did it too!

His mother wasn’t literally a prostitute. He was born out of an adulterous affair, and when discovered, she was charged with bigamy ostracized from polite society. She would have often been called a “whore”.

Gotham fucked it up too by having the Waynes’ death be an assassination at the hart of some byzantine conspiracy that Bruce spends a large chunk of the series unraveling. It turns out the Hugo Strange, the Court of Owls, and the League of Assassiins are behind it. It was really, really dumb.

I’m aware, I just didn’t want to get into all that right there. It’s great that Bill Finger is finally getting his much deserved credit - and he honestly deserves much more, and Kane far less. (Also, while that’s true with creating the character, and that Finger also eventually came up with the Batmobile as well, Kane…
