DC did the multiverse stuff with Crisis on Infinite Earths, they embraced the movie/TV universes, and they didn’t spend time setting up a character to be a dick joke.

If not for the pandemic, this would be one of those films that comes in the middle of the summer that the Simpsons so rightfully parodied as “Free Air Conditioning - with movie!”

1. I liked the movie a lot. I liked the musical back before Hamilton, so I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for this particular musical.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t Mobius M. Mobius a clone of one dude in the comics? So, the whole “he might be another Loki variant” makes a lot of sense here, they do what the MCU movies do a lot: They keep the idea, they just tweak it a little bit.

I mean... by changing the ethnicity of the character, removing her from the most iconic elements, doesn’t this just become a TV Show about an East Asian detective with tacked on recognizable elements designed to push nostalgia button for some while still generating enough outrage among others to the point that it…

But this kind of hyperbole only makes things worse. They “fixed” the headline, but they didn’t just say, “she took part in a formerly racist ball” at first. She put it all on her, despite the fact that there’s a ton of evidence that she wouldn’t have known at the age of 19 that this place had a problematic past.…

I’m not going to say anything new here. I’ve been avoiding the comments section in general thanks to some personal attacks, and I’ve just been dipping my toe back now that I’m in a better space mentally.

I’m very happy to see that the AV Club watched the Britney Spears documentary, thought long and hard about how society treated young women celebrities, then decided that none of it mattered the second they got some hot goss.

Maybe he is, but just likes a writer you don’t approve of?

The Harry Potter franchise would have both benefited and suffered from finding an adaptation 10 years later when it could have been picked up by Netflix or something as a series that covered everything. (or a streaming service that produces more than one season of a show.) But this is tailor made for a deeper dive…

Finally, acknowledgement of my theory that Frasier took place a post-apocalypse, they just managed to keep Seattle looking really nice. 

Bill Murray, but I want him to be given a completely different script than everyone else. 

I would imagine in some ways, it’s very difficult for the parents. This doesn’t excuse them, but here’s a person who’s very rich, and very famous, who’s entire personality has been very cultivated and presented by the media (particularly at that time when the internet wasn’t widely available for every story) suddenly…

“Groom” is becoming one of those overused words. It used to mean an older person in power manipulating a younger person using the power they have over them to normalize their terrible behavior. Now it seems to mean “any time we dun got fooled.”

He’s clearly talking about “cancelling” as in they are not giving TV shows time to find their footing and voice. Netflix cancels stuff if it doesn’t have twenty billion downloads 2 minutes after it drops.

Joke’s on him. He just needed to wait for her to get cast as Cleopatra and do that Imagine video, then the internet would threaten her career for him. 

All of these “Why’d they name another Captain America” questions all ignore the cosmic horror event that involved a giant purple alien destroying 50% of the Universe, then coming back 5 years later to finish the job. And at this point the Avengers don’t seem to be doing much Avenging, so I can see them saying “hey,…

That would involve the AV Club not breathlessly posting on every time someone says any combination of the word “Justice” and “League” in the context of this movie. 

Fuck. You. 

Thank you. I just found out I can’t after years of heartbreak and trying, asshole. You said that over a fucking opinion on Star Wars.
