Ben Wyatt, Mayor of Ice Town's discussions

Yeah, if Lightyear wasn’t trying to fit into the Toy Story universe, it would’ve been a serviceable foray into scifi for Pixar. Read more

Bingo.

I’m a bit late to this discussion, but, a couple of thoughts struck me: Read more

I should really be a target audience member for Rutherford Falls... a progressive liberal, appreciator of The Office and Parks and Rec, like Ed Helms, interested in Native American culture. But, man, I fucking actually hated Rutherford Falls. Read more

There was a fairly steep dropoff in quality between Season 1 and Season 2, I thought. Season 2 wasn’t unwatchable, but it was a bit rough.

I think you might be overestimating how many people followed along the whole Batgirl thing. I don’t know that most general audiences were paying attention to that, would recognize the actress, or care.

She’s a main actor in Peacemaker, the TV series (not a movie).

Personally, I only care about 3 DC things: Matt Reeves’ continuation of The Batman, Doom Patrol, and Gunn’s Peacemaker. Not necessarily in that order. Given that Gunn did a great job with Guardians and The Suicide Squad, and he just seems a lot more competent, smarter, and a better visionary than Snyder, I feel a… Read more

Weren’t there sex scenes, or implied sex scenes, in his season of True Detective? I’m almost positive there was.

Yeah, unlike the rest of us, who do work in a career for the sheer pleasure of [whatever the hell you do for work]. Read more

I do have a hard time believing, though, that this war would’ve went on for 2 or 3 years when one side has that dragon. I mean, they depict the fact that there are hilltops and mountains and caves as big obstacles, and I get that, to an extent. But, the dragon can fly and move faster than the groups of archers on… Read more

That’s an interesting perspective. I don’t fully disagree that that’s the case for some properties, but at the same time, I wonder if that’s what some of these creators using big properties feel like they’re doing. Like they think they just need a, “hey, this thing you already know and have seen before and liked has a… Read more

Obviously this is early still, before I’ve seen a real episode, but I can’t really get over just how banal this all seems. I mean, the environment looks nice, but the actors, and the lines that they’re delivering, seem very... mediocre, generic fantasy to me. I had no idea AT ALL that that guy was supposed to be… Read more

I hear that. I liked Nolan’s a lot. I liked this take a lot, too. Genuinely quite excited they’re continuing it. Hope you find things to love in it like I did!

I’m a huge Batman fan generally, and I liked it a lot. I’d give it probably an 8/10. By comparison, I’d give Batman v Superman a 2/10. Read more

I may have misunderstood your post, but I thought you were referring to Rogue One with your comment. Yen’s character wasn’t in this trailer - just in Rogue One.

Donnie Yen’s character was. But yeah, mostly it was regular people.

I honestly can’t tell if this a different conversation than the one I had quotes from earlier or not. Do you have the link for that source handy?

To clarify, are you talking about when she says that he’s bigger and stronger, she’s a 115 lb woman, in the context of the conversation mocking him for the idea that he would claim to be abused by her? I ask in sincerity, but below are some of the quotes from that. Read more

I wrote a big reply, but it never actually posted, and so I had to rewrite it. So this version of my response is a little shorter and less considered, but hopefully still addresses the question. Read more
