I think the only reason they're "critically acclaimed" is because, unlike the Transformers movies, the DCEU films, or half the garbage hitting cinemas right now, these films manage to conjure up completely absurdist action spectacle from movie to movie while also telling cogent, intelligible stories about relatively…

So another season of Ash vs. Evil Dead has come to a close, and yet…even though last season had the down ending (Ash makes a terrible decision and may have just f%$#ed the world), I find myself more despondent over the bizarrely happy ending of THIS season.

This episode makes me think of the final act of the 2015 reboot Fant4stic.

Well, sh*t.

Oh, great— so the whole episode is basically the theatrical ending to Army of Darkness all over again, huh?

PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE—!!!

Well. This new trailer pushed this from seeming like a silly, overwrought video game movie to looking like yet another absolutely terrible, overwritten, incomprehensible-piece-of-garbage video game movie.

You see a bit more of Shocker in the international trailer than the domestic one, but he IS one of the crooks working with Vulture. He's the guy who shoots a bus at Peter in the parking lot scene.

I gotta say, I am digging the fact that (from the looks of things) the Vulture, Shocker, and the rest seem to just be a crew of run-of-the-mill criminals who happen to fall into some serious high-tech weaponry. They don't know Peter personally. They don't have some deep dramatic connection to his double life. And…

I know. It was just faster to say it my way.

Oh, snap! I just noticed that, in the shots where Pete gets slammed into a school bus and when he's picking himself up off the ground, surrounded by fire (I'm guessing this may be the climax), he's wearing his original, makeshift Spider-Man suit, not the Stark one!

God damn, this show is just tight as a drum these days, isn't it?

I actually tried that because of this show, and bizarrely, it is pretty damn delicious.

Hey, they used the Invasion crossover to resolve Cisco hating Barry on The Flash— why NOT resolve another lingering plot thread off-handedly?

What?! When did that happen? (I seriously hope you're joking…)

Oh, God damn it— the Snart they featured in the promos was a hallucination?

Yeah, well, maybe this kid is going to secretly turn out to be the Hobgoblin, and then immediately die.

That's actually supposed to be Ned Leeds, but he's obviously also basically Ganke. And having watched the trailer, I have no idea why they didn't just go ahead and call him "Ganke" to begin with.

The Judd Apatow movies started this madness. 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, etc. At least Hot Tub Time Machine had the wit to use the convention as a joke…
