Your review makes this sound a lot like The Americans but with comedy instead of the historical fiction element.

Anton LaVey was also right wing. His philosophy was once described as “Ayn Rand with candles”. I’d love to see some critical analysis of that one day, tbh.

People only remember the bad stuff and forget the good stuff. Ultimate Spider-Man was a consistently good comic for over a decade before Miles was introduced. 

Plays like this are exercises in fandom too. They pick movies that have cult followings to make into movies because the audience likes to go to the play and when the dialogue or lyrics reference or reframe dialogue from the movie, the audience feels like they’re in on an inside joke. The musical is a representation of…

Zoomers were bon in the late ‘90s/early 2000s. People born in 1996, the year Daggerfall came out, are Zoomers. The slang you’re using is actually a Gen Alpha thing. 

You’re leaving out that Nelson Peltz is a huge backer of Ron DeSantis and wants Disney to be “less political.” He’s also close friends with Ike Perlmutter, who is backing Peltz’s move to take over the board, and wants to personally appoint the new CEO (Jay Rasulo is who Perlmutter likes). 

The latter. People argue they’re vaguely holiday-y because there are elves, magic, good vibes, and part of the story takes place on December 25 (although there’s nothing significant in the story about that date to the characters, and the date is never mentioned in the movies outside of September 22 and October 24). 

Rustin kind of sucks because of the way it writes over its subject’s politics and essentially presents him as the forgotten sidekick of King. As one critic noted, “In a cruel twist, it seems, Rustin’s sexuality has been weaponized yet again. In Rustin’s lifetime, it was used as an excuse to forget him — in his death…

This reads to me like it was written ChatGPT.

Not the first slides, but the headers for each other slide.

I mean, the capital city of Reach isn’t even named in the books, even though it has a substantial population. So I don’t know if I’d call that “the important stuff”. There’s a mission there in the game, titled New Alexandria, which is probably the name they should have gone with, but it’s not mentioned much in…

The overall mythology of the show is actually pretty faithful to the games and novels, along with the aesthetics. It’s basically the same worldbuilding. The divergences are mostly in terms of character and focus. It’s a weird show that is simultaneously obsessively inaccurate and weirdly different, which I thik is…

This was my question as well. People still don’t seem to realize the damage repeat infections can have on your body.

Nothing about Ms. Marvel or WandaVision?

Yes.

This is how he did The Haunting of Hill House and The Turn of the Screw (Bly Manor) as well. Narratively they have nothing in common with the books they’re based on.

I wasn’t really using “liberal” to refer to leftists or progressives exactly - certainly I don’t think liberals are leftists - but I was using it in the way a conservative might conceive of a “left” liberal and yet somehow describe a billionaire like George Soros as one. And you’re right about Obama, I actually took…

Matthew Vaughn IS a Home Counties Tory moron. He’s not skewering anybody. He is a deeply weird and colorful individual. I didn’t note it in my other comment, but he bragged about talking to his friends in a Tory government and convincing them to axe the UK Film Council. He cited his reasons as basically being a belief…

If you know anything about Matthew Vaughn, you realize that The King’s Man is absolutely not accidental. He discovered as a young man that he’s the illegitimate son of a wealthy British banker and peer in the House of Lords. Since learning this, although not being raised by them, Vaughn has insisted on personally…

Yes. In the first episode a character gives a big speech about his ideals and loyalty to his friends, and another character responds “You’re such a dick.”

Yeah, I think that “the Doctor is not in a romantic or sexual relationship with his companions, or humans in general” should be a part of the series Bible.
