Superhero films have always been around. Marvel may have saturated the market, but my personal favorite Marvel movie was Guardians of the Galaxy, and I had never heard of any of those characters. And Peacemaker was hilarious, yet heartfelt. So there’s hope for DC in Gunn’s hands. From the list in the article, looks…

I checked out when Band of Brothers was 49.

This. I’d rank it #2 overall behind The Wire, mainly because of that suddenly shortened 3rd season that just...ends. Of course, we have the movie now, but its still a disjointed original run. Not their fault though for HBO cancelling it.

I didn’t love it. It was a solid show, and maybe I was taking it out of context bingeing it after the series had ended (it was a pioneer), but I’ve found it to be vastly overrated.

Everyone loved The Sopranos because yes, it was good, but it was also about the Italian mob, following a long tradition of beloved films of the same ilk. It was popular by doing a well-executed twist on the familiar. A predominantly Black show was never going to be as popular, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t better.

I mean leaving out Oz–the show that kicked off HBO’s golden age, and one that’s still remarkably relevant–is fundamentally disqualifying.

Yeah....when I saw Band of Brothers was at 49 I almost just stopped reading.  Band of Brothers is a top 10 show, flat out.  I feel like limited series (1 season) should be excluded, but if you are including them, Band of Brothers top 10.  Further, Rome isnt on here at all.  I dont take this list seriously.

It is, though.

They also left out Carnivale. I loved True Blood but it’s a bad show! Which is part of what makes it enjoyable.

You may want to revise your opening sentence. Chase confirmed last year that Tony died. The AV Club even covered that story.

There are certain things that are Namor and can’t be changed without it no longer being Namor. His cultural background isn’t one of them though. It sounds like they’re getting the core stuff right.

“it seems like not a day has gone by where we’ve been granted one moment’s peace from reading about Olivia Wilde—especially on Twitter.”

I have no idea what’s the story here (despite the article going on about how everyone’s sick of reading about this woman).

Oh, there is no way whatsoever they have the stones to keep that mask on him full-time. They’ll have whoever it is  - I still hope it’s Nikolaj Coster Waldau - smiling and a mask in the corner.

I know a lot of people here are mad/annoyed with this write up and while I agree with most of the points, let’s be civil and keep in mind the circumstances. Yeah I am not going to blame the writer, I know she’s relatively new and probably working under not great conditions and just trying to fulfill what the “higher…

Everywhere does recaps now. The age of decent online reviews - or at least at the AV Club - might well be done, it’s easier and probably cheaper to pay someone to regurgitate the plot of something we’ve all just watched and then add in a few token criticisms or plaudits. Slap on a few bullet points and submit, then on…

and most importantly, Madisynn

absolutely loved the show. thank you to everyone involved including former jez writer kara brown! proud!

Well, Wanda killed like 85 percent of the wizards so...

she’s fired from GLK&H (whether that’s because she’s in legal trouble or they only wanted She-Hulk is unclear)
