As I recall, Agents of Shield used the term enhanced a lot, for whatever that's worth.

Are Djinn from Islamic mythology, or from Middle Eastern or Arabic mythology? Surely those terms aren't synonymous?

I fully support these weekly episode reviews, but can we also get, say, a single Star Trek: Strange New Worlds review, too?

Came here for this. Ward made a brief Arrowverse cameo, so in TV terms at least, he's the champ.

Ah.

Uh, what? Jabba hired Fett to bring him Han, dead or (preferably) alive. Why would an auction be involved?

BARF

“Persuasion was so fun. Doing a Jane Austen film is the dream, and there are only a few of them”

Thank goodness this crass celebration of narcissism and consumerism is no tainted by a throwaway word some consider offensive. All is right with the world now.

Why the hell hasn’t the AV Club reviewed a single episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds?

Well, unlike the painfully non-funny 2016 entry, Afterlife isn’t a comedy; it’s an 8-12-year-old’s adventure flick. (I’m not even sure what made it a PG-13 and not a PG.) And, the thing is, a kid’s adventure flick is pretty hard to not make a reasonably okay movie out of. So... for what it is, rather than what it…

That was seven years, and an uneventful Jared Leto Joker depiction, prior to Joker the movie. And, as I recall, the Aurora/Joker character connection turned out to be mostly speculative and threadbare.

Correlation is not causation. I blame Cheeto and his goons for outbursts of mayhem far more than I do Joker.

The giant alien egg in the earth wasn’t a robot, though, was it? The Eternals were robots. (Yes, being absurdly semantic here.)

Hooray for ethnic and cultural diversity, but doesn’t the existence of literal gods and Celestials in the MCU suggest that that warlord who plagiarized the existing (also fictitious) monotheisms was just making stuff up?

The pre-release media frenzy over the supposedly incendiary flick went well beyond simple caution, IMO. If anything, it practically dared some unhinged miscontent to do the very thing it accused the movie of glorifying - and then the movie turned out to be about a sad loser who gives his own mother a bath. And the…

Remember when there was a lot of Very Serious Discourse about how Joker was going to be a horrifically incendiary movie that would inspire a legion of psychopathic incels to go on mayhem sprees, and then it turned out to be a pretty okay flick and nothing happened?

This. It wasn’t the “weird art kid,” it was the “normal rich kid with nothing to say” who thought that buying a Daft Punk soundtrack would make him cool by osmosis. Also note how Kosinski mentions the storyboards before the script - he’s an architecture student turned filmmaker, and there's no shame in that, but being…

No Sith really have any interest in Dark side hierarchies.

People seem to be so besotted with the notion of Rey and Kylo transcending the Force’s established light/dark dichotomy that they genuinely seem not too grasp the pesky details that A) that idea was Kylo’s duplicitous BS, and B) is the complete opposite of what the movie actually concludes. (Ironically, only the hated…
