I frequently love Ellis, but this is confusing as shit. I also cannot remember wtf is going on from month to month and I have a pretty good attention span when it comes to stories. The art’s great, and I’m just hoping it reads better when it’s all finished.

I actually think this season is spectacular and so worth a watch, and I’m someone who bailed in the first season and never got interested in anything I’d seen of it until Ghost Rider last season pulled me back in. I thought it was pretty great overall, but I think this season is even better. The characters are written…

Nosirreebob I cannot disagree. I’m wishing I had the time to watch all the seasons of Fargo again well as Legion s1. So spectacularly good. I know many disagree, but I actually felt Fargo got better each subsequent season which is kind of mind-blowing. A perfect show.

I honestly agree that this episode was one of the high-water moments of the Evil Dead franchise, and that was following an incredible first episode to the season. Right now, based on these two episodes, I think Ash v Evil Dead is one of the best shows going. and not just because of Sam Raimi’s incredible Amazing…

Gorgon is such a great villain. His relationship with Alex/Phobos in that comic is epic. And that comic, the original Secret Warriors, was so God-damned fantastic. It set up so much of the best of the modern SHIELD/HYDRA dynamic but goes so far beyond it with the conspiracy stuff. I still miss that Daisy, so much…

He was fantastic as complete sleaze in Neon Demon. And as little as I liked Man of Tai Chi, it became infinitely more enjoyable when I started thinking of Keanu’s character as actually being Keanu Reeves. If you can bother watching it again (or for the first time), pretend he’s not playing any role, rather that he…

Considering him for superhero roles, I still think he would have made a phenomenal Doctor Strange.

This is the beauty/horror of superhero comic movies: Cosmic Cubes, Time and Spirit Infinity Jewels/Stones and all the rest. Yeah, I liked Ultron too. I liked Stane. I forgot about both of those. Fuck it, I even liked Whiplash. And Hammer was such a blast. Klaw was such a blast.

They forget a lot. Red Skull was perfect for the first Cap movie. Loki was great as a villain. Blanchett’s Hela was one of the best scene-chewing villains of that type ever...a blatant lesson on how to do that right as opposed to Ares or Steppenwolf. She is so much damned fun to watch, over and over and over again.

Here’s hoping Neil isn’t involved in this in any way.

Unbelievably static to me, although these covers look better than much of his stuff. Most of the time I see his work it feels like he’s painting statues for all the lack of any feeling of motion in them.

Despite the fact that I think Cornell West has a major point in his criticisms of Coates’ political and sociological commentary, I find him to be one of the most important writers working right now. He has influenced me heavily and continues to make me really think in profound ways. With his nonfiction.

Eh, not so much.

I just hope the rest of the group makes nonstop fun of him.

Agreed. I’ve definitely been getting into watching good shows serially instead of binging. I think shows like Legion and Westworld are much the better for it.

I am glad to be seeing at least the beginnings of what needs to be done in terms of viewing issues of race and gender and treating each other in a humane and enlightened manner (while acknowledging all the Dark Ages mentality that is trying to crush that down), but I occasionally wonder what my mind would be if I grew…

Graham Chapman could.

It’s brilliant, but “What have the Romans ever done for us!?” is probably my favorite comedic scene ever. Classical history nerd 4 life.

I can’t disagree with a thing you’ve said, but I think we can all see the writing on the wall of romance between Shuri and Bucky. Shucky?

LBJ is yet another one of those figures who rides an almost cosmic dichotomy... he belongs in Heaven (if there was one) for his engineering of the Great Society legislation and strong-arming it through a largely racist Congress and he belongs in Hell for his part in Vietnam.
