It was like needing Wonder Woman to succeed even though Gal Gadot is frequently out-acted by standees of Gal Gadot.

Brie Larson has thus-far been squandered in a non-entity character who got showed up in her own movie by a bunch of better-developed male characters getting the lion’s share of the movie’s focus.

It was so frustrating how everyone piled on Captain Marvel to shit all over it for staring a woman instead of piling on it for actual valid reasons, like the terrible lighting, bad editing, or the fact that nominally the first female-led Marvel movie spends a huge chunk of its time going ‘gee what’s badly de-aged Nick…

I didn’t get far into the first episode of season 3, found it a little underwhelming and forgot to go back. Was Season 3 as strong as season 2, or did it pull a Mandolorian?

HE LIVED ALONE. IN A FUCKING CAVE. AS A HERMIT. HIDING.

THAT IS ALL THAT NEED HAPPEN. WHY IS STAR WARS SO INTENT ON BUILDING A UNIVERSE IN WHICH NONE OF THE ORIGINAL THREE MOVIES FIT?

Everything past the original trilogy has shown the Jedi to be short-sighted, stupid, hypocritical, and laughably ineffectual. With a few very rare exceptions, however, everything past the original trilogy has seem utterly unaware that it has done this because the vast majority of Star Wars writing, taken collectively,…

Finn’s story in TLJ suffers from second-draft syndrome: the ideas are good,[1] its the execution that lets things down. and also the film has a pretty unshakable problem ,which is that ‘it’s the entire point of Rey’s arc to find Luke and train with him can we have Finn involved with that without him feeling like a…

I count the time I went out with friends who were Pokémon GO players to be one of the most tedious outings of my life. IT always felt like the outline of a game, like everyone was still waiting for the actual game to arrive.

Star Wars lore is always layered, and each layer after the first layer is stupid.

I’m not even being facetious: all deep Star Wars lore is deeply stupid and runs entirely off the false premise that more is better. It’s what led to something like the Obi-Wn show where he can’t just have been a hermit hiding in the…

“As for Billy Dee Williams, he wasn’t able to share much as the actor is obviously not well”

Is he? is this a known quality, or something recent to this panel?

Cass as Batgirl should be the universal default and I will never forgive DC for how badly they treated my girl.

(How Barbara Gordon became oracle is grotesque and The Killing Joke is Moore at his nastiest in an era where comics were particularly hateful to women, but fucking origin stories change all the tie. Barbara…

We don’t talk like that. What you want is “It’s a me, Mariou!”

... those movies are so utterly divergent I cannot for the life of me ascertain what rhetoric point you were trying to make about ‘films like that’ beyond critically successful.

No one—anywhere—expected the Mario movie to be the next Whiplash. At all. It never came up.

One led from the other, honestly.

So did my first two husbands.

Skimming over your comment I thought ‘Catalan’ was ‘Canadian’ and had a brief, delightful thought of Mario’s voice being re-recorded so as to make sure Canadians weren’t exposed to nasty American diphthongs.

I checked-out midway through episode three of this season and nothing feels compelling enough to pick it back up. It never sounds bad, jsut totally and completely inconsequential. It has nothing to say, and that seems to be what some people want, Star Wars with nothing to say.

So at least they’re happy.

At first I thought they change JFK’s voice and then I sadly realized that, no, his VA is just twenty years older and sounds it.

Fuck. Fuck they did. Fuck they did and I forgot.

God fucking damnit.

But will they finally fix the bug that keeps me from changing my base’s colours for a year?
