~workin on my night teeth~

40 hour extended cut of Death Proof or GTFO.  

It could be that his wife has a couple of projects lined up back to back. He mentioned in one interview that if he’s working, she doesn’t and vice-versa so that their daughters have at least one parent at home at all times and they aren’t being either dragged around the world to locations or being left with caretakers.

Him?

>and then keep telling stories about the straight hero who actually stars in the book.

I REALLY have to quibble with this idea that people think of Dick Grayson as Robin. He hasn’t been Robin in nearly FORTY YEARS. That’s basically two generations that have no experience with Dick as Robin!

Not to mention how whenever he complained about the show fudging the canon, it was because he had the canon wrong, not the show.

Barsanti with a disingenuous, ill-informed, and just bad take; film at 11.

You are fundamentally unfit to review this show, or any other MCU property. Not only did you ignore the obvious hints of where the show was headed (included from the trailers before it even premiered), you miss that WandaVision, the first such show, was in fact largely a beautiful stand-alone meditation on grief, with

That’s the problem, though: If the upcoming season finale is really good, you won’t be able to recommend it to someone who hasn’t seen at least one or two of the other episodes that set it up.”

“It’s like you’ve actively ignored what is playing out in front of your own eyes only to pretend to be surprised and disappointed when the things teased for weeks play out exactly like they’ve been teased to.”

“It does indicate a somewhat disappointing lack of vision from Marvel Studios”

You keep leaning into the idea that the show was supposed to offer standalone stories, even though the ENTIRE PREMISE is that it’s riffing on movies we’ve already seen.

You also have to criticize the work that exists, not the one you wanted them to make. The show established The Watcher and explained his role and vows, and then gradually showed his disenchantment with those limitations. Yes, it was obvious almost immediately that Uatu would interfere with events, but they did the

The AV Club knows this, of course. That’s why there’s a regular ‘Did The Watcher interfere, even though that’s the one thing he must never, ever do?’ section in every episode review.

I might be in the minority on this...but hard disagree.

The correct name is Dr. Arrakistein's Planet.

Good, consistent with Dawn, extremely dour. If you want a really grim story of military occupation and ethnic oppression via prison camps, it does a lot with that. But it’s every bit as joyless and depressing as that sounds.

another opportunity to point out what a fantastic fucking film Master and Commander is.

You can’t spend 7 weeks going “When will the Watcher get involved?” only to shit on the show for actually having the Watcher get involved.

Also, Uatu didn’t save Bad Strange. He left him in his collapsed universe because he couldn’t get involved. He then went back to him when he realised he needed his help.
