Too much of this show is people who ostensibly ought to know better making the dumbest moves possible. A war is being fought for the Iron Throne and a major point of contention is your bastard sons one day sitting upon it, so you... send them off to secure allegiances... by themselves... completely unprotected... into…

I’m sorry I just think it’s incredibly dumb how adult Rhaenyra was rightfully paranoid of threats to her heirs all season but during the greatest moment of political turmoil, she sent her kids off unchaperoned as if they didn’t have giant targets on their backs.

I didn’t really care for how they let Aemond off the hook for Luke’s death. Having them both lose control of their dragons was a plot contrivance that came across as a lazy bit of both sides-ism; “Hey, just because Aemond demanded that his cousin put out his own eye in front of an entire royal court then deliberately…

The first season of Game of Thrones had its own unique issues but it still had so many more characters, both major and minor, to root for. House of the Dragons only has minor characters to root for (who all too often perish with all-too-quick deaths)...which isn’t enough to make for compelling TV. Almost all of HotD’s…

James Corden is the worst aspects of every try-hard theatre kid I ever met, rolled into one body.

How does this relate to his blockade of Japan in 1853 to get the Japanese to trade with America (which indirectly spurred the restoration of the Japanese Emperor and the militarization of Japan which led disastrously to Japanese Imperialism and WWII).

I have never, and will never, have any sympathy for the author of Lost Girls, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and Watchmen, three completely original works that didn’t shit on the IP of others one bit.

“How dare people adapt the stories and characters I created" - says the man who got famous writing stories about Superman, Batman, Captain Nemo and a kind of alternate version of The Question when he wasn't allowed to use The Question. 

There’s definetely an inherent sexism in how media tends to portray women celebrities that have affairs. In most cases they’re treated more harshly than a man in the same circumstance. In this particular case though, it wasn’t even an “affair” really as divorce proceedings were already in the works. The whole thing…

Alan Moore, much like Harrison Ford, is forever tied to a genre he just doesn’t like.

he describes knowing the “secret identity of Chameleon Boy” as “sort of an illness.”

There are quite a few reasons aside from sexism why that’s the case, though. Wilde, Styles, or Sudeikis are all more famous than the players in the Mulaney split. It happened very publicly, in the midst of a movie production - giving the whole thing an even greater air of scandal - and the affair (presumably) caused…

The Harry Styles thing explains a lot of it. Also, Mulaney hasn’t (as of yet) cast Munn in a movie, bashed his ex-wife, or generally made an anus out of himself.

Chris Pratt, on the other hand, has been in the crosshairs for a bit and it really started when he left Anna Faris. That might be more of your comparison. 

No he wasn’t. A proper Superman is a beacon of hope, for the viewer as well as the characters in the film. Snyder’s version had none of that and never would have. He was rushed and still never got to the proper point. Only Whedons version of the character even came close.

“Clayface you may know from Batman: The Animated Series” the extremely popular Harley Quinn cartoon series that’s airing in the present day Christ why does it feel like nobody at the AVClub has any sense of the media landscape any more?

I want Emily VanDerWerff/St. James back. And TV Club Classic. And just... something…

I have zero interest in watching a contractually unable to lose Dwayne Johnson fight Super-Man.

I always thought that Cox played Matt on the Netflix series with a bit of wry, self-effacing humor, even at his darkest - which is what kept him from being painfully morose. It’s precisely why he’s so fabulous in the role, and it didn’t seem like too much of a stretch for him on She-Hulk.

Yeah! I don’t understand who would ever want to be with an extremely attractive and successful movie star. It’s beyond comprehension. 

I just watched The Handmaiden last week and was blown away. It’s incredible and one of the best movies I’ve seen all year. I’m definitely now looking forward to seeing this along with the rest of his oeuvre (I’ve yet to see any of his other films).
