Honestly, I think letting them watch Ash vs. Evil Dead just makes you a BETTER parent.

I actually hated the opening sequence too— the one where the Comedian is watching some bluntly expositional television featuring Play-Doh Richard Nixon, just before getting into a blatantly choreographed fight with his shadow-faced assassin and dripping blood onto his button in highly emphasized slow motion. The score…

Good point… but he could have come up SOMEhow. It was such an obvious plotline to justify at least a one-episode cameo, and yet… nuthin'.

Uhh… I never said I was pissed off about the ending. I've never WATCHED it, because the show didn't hold my interest long enough for me to get to it. So how could I be pissed off about it?

Ahhh… I never saw Fringe, myself, but I thought Gabel was pretty amazing as the Count. He was a fantastic, manic foil for the Arrow, and he had great energy… so I was more than a little disappointed that they buried three arrows in his chest and dropped him off a skyscraper. (I guess the writers realized there wasn't…

Considering that Legends of Tomorrow just finished up a storyline about the Spear of friggin' Destiny (a Maguffin that was actually the central focus of the mediocre Constantine movie, mind you), I'm more than a little peeved that Sara didn't think at any point to bring in the one occult specialist she knows— who, you…

Um… well, yeah, but Bennett is playing a different character, motivated by different personal drives, than Adrian Chase. Yes, the core motivation is the same— "Oliver Queen killed someone I cared about, and I'mma make him pay!"— but the actors are working with fundamentally different material. If Bennett was playing Ch…

Well, when Chase does it, it's a little more Joker-ish. Chase is a full-fledged psychopath who's enjoying every single second of toying with Oliver, like a cat toying with a doomed mouse— so much so that he almost seems on the verge of giggling with manic glee.

I've actually really come around to the Matt Letscher version of Eobard Thawne/Reverse-Flash, too. But no one does pure menace like Tom Cavanagh, I suppose… That "to me, you've been dead for centuries" scene was chilling. I guess I'd have to rank both Thawnes at number two— since, after all, they are the same person.

If Manu Bennett is actually coming back as Deathstroke for this season, then season five of Arrow may actually end up qualifying as THE BEST season of the show, period.

I never MADE it to the series finale.

Well, that first pic looked like something from an early season of the '60s Star Trek. Which is awesomely weird, yes, but I didn't see how it would gel with the rest of the movie until I saw the trailer. The stills and concept art and stuff just seemed jarringly incongruent. Until now!

Well, when the centerpiece of your entire movie ALREADY features a gratuitous guest appearance from an immensely popular character in your cinematic universe, there's no reason to cram a second one into the first two-minute teaser. I appreciate a little restraint.

"Immigrant Song" is dirty pool, Ragnarok trailer. That song rocks too hard to resist!

Crom laughs at your Four Winds!

Balance is key in all this. People don't seem to recognize that the Chris Nolan Batman movies— the films often chided for popularizing the "grimdark reboot" trend— work so well because they're NOT deathly-serious slogs. They take their premise just seriously enough to sell it to the audience and to give the film…

Well, if they'd created a more heroic Jesus who didn't die, then his story would end with humankind free from sin and suffering and all of the corrupt rulers of the land smite-d into oblivion.

It would be really, super easy to justify Danny putting on a costume, too. Just call it a symbolic tradition of the mantle: that the Iron Fist, being a living weapon, must be free from the weakness, the fears, and the ego of the man bearing the title, and so the mask eliminates the man, leaving only the weapon. It…

I don't know… I kind of appreciate each of the Defenders either wearing a costume or no costume depending on their circumstances. It makes them feel more like a group of disparate individuals coming together for a common cause, rather than some pre-fabricated superteam.
