I think these are great points. It’s a bit disorienting right now to disentangle the complexities of the situation because of the mindfuckery involved - which is the bread and butter of Legion, after all. But it does seem at the moment they’re really carefully treading a fine line. The confrontation between Syd and…

I like both the cartoon series and the movie, but they’re definitely very different things I like for different reasons.

Now that I’m older I understand what’s going on in that scene, and what I’m looking at, but when I was a kid I had no idea what I was looking at, and it really broke my brain, like “What the fuck is going on there!?” 

I do like Theo. I think the wish episode here he actually got a male body was incredible. I don’t have experience, but I do kind of agree that it was really quick. The whole nonbinary thing in the first half was a bit off... it was like something they just rattled off about the character every few lines of dialogue or…

No, he’s right -- her latest set is just awful. Observational humor only works when your audience can relate, which is not the case when all your bits are about being the daughter of the richest Buggalo ranchers on Mars.

True story: 90% of memes are just jokes recycled from The Bob Newhart Show

Forever in my head canon, this will be the way it went down in the throne room: Dany sits on the thrown (because why WOULDN’T she after only wanting it for 8 seasons), Jon stands beside her and they have their convo, he stabs her, falls to her knees sobbing. Enter the Drogon, he sees thiem, proceeds to blow major…

As always, I am hesitant to reply to comments with the knowledge that the Kinja system elevates Staff contributions and thus the comments themselves, but I want to address this since I’ve seen it pop up a couple of times in my notifications.

The complaints have more to do with the fact that they undid his arc so sloppily and swiftly, and in a way that doesn’t make sense given what they’ve shown us of the character. It would be like if at the end of Endgame, Bucky just shot Cap in the back and then had the writer be like “What?! He’s a brainwashed Hydra…

I have a lot of sympathy for MacDowell. In her first film role (“Greystoke”,) her naturally southern accent was overdubbed in post-production by Glenn Close. Knowing that indignity, it’s easier to understand why her subsequent performances were done with such a measured (often crossing over into stilted) tone and…

Oh thank god, I’m not the only one who spent the 90s confusing them.

No, no. You’re just mistaken.

FIND OUT NEXT TIME ON DRAGON BALL Z

I loved that they spent so much time dealing with the impact of the snap on everyone. It was mostly smart and compelling but it also lead to a couple of my biggest character arc disappointments. Suddenly jumping to Professor Hulk was baffling. There was nothing that led to that happening and it was wildly arbitrary. I…

I found it strange that I was fine until Happy Hogan started talking about cheeseburgers with Morgan.

Credit to Josh Brolin for conveying a real “what the ever-living fuck?” moment through all that makeup and CGI. 

I yelled YESSSS! when she tore through Thanos’ ship, and my 20 year-old daughter shushed me.

Obviously the correct thing to do would have been to calmly explain why her emotional response to the scene was invalid.

That was my initial take too, but after thinking about it her death ends her arc quite nicely. Her entire impetus for joining the Avengers was to “clear the red from her ledger,” and I’d argue that single-handedly keeping the group together for 5 years before sacrificing herself to save 3.5 billion people is about as…
