You’re right, my delineation doesn’t hold up for new versus old characters. And I actually like most of the new Earth-based characters, especially Steinfeld as new Hawkeye and Pugh as a new Black Widow. The delineation I was trying to make was more so between the more grounded stories versus these grand cosmic…

Yea and I totally get that. But as someone who never had any interest in comics, who was effectively roped into Marvel by the first Iron Man movie, I’d still be way more interested in seeing more from Tony Stark and Steve Rogers than be introduced to whoever Beta Ray Bill is. 

I’ve certainly become less interested post-Endgame. I agree that there are too many new characters being introduced, but I think that the bigger issue for me is that the new characters and storylines aren’t grounded in reality (which may be a strange nitpick when discussing comic book characters.) Ironman, Cap, Hulk,…

It really was. But the final straw for me with TWD was when Tyreese was killed by a lone zombie. I realized that the zombies were only as dangerous as the plot needed to be when the 250 pound guy, who at any other point in the season could fight off multiple zombies, gets pinned and bitten by a 150 pound decaying…

In a post-apocalyptic USA where there are likely more guns than non-infected humans, it’s strange that the four hooligans didn’t have a single gun between them. I’d expect everyone to be carrying at this point.

One of the things that’s so great about this show is that it doesn’t follow the same “zombie movie” tropes that so many other movies and TV shows do. When Frank shows up at Bill’s compound we’re trained to think he’s just acting nice but will eventually be a bad guy, but he’s not. When Joel and Ellie make it to the…

Yours sounds like an interesting situation. I have Netflix subsidized by T-Mobile and when Netflix raises prices I end up paying the increase because the deal is that T-Mobile pays $9 or whatever towards it. I’d assume in your case that Walmart would have to eat the extra cost (they’re probably not even paying the…

For me this was the weakest episode so far (though the weakest of a strong set of episodes is still pretty good.) I failed to find Lynskey’s character believable. Her henchman mentioned that she was the one responsible for the overthrow of FEDRA, telling us that her leadership has been effective in the past, but her…

This has potential to be a ton of dumb fun

Decent list. Can we agree that the Black Eyed Peas (2011) was the worst?

I dabble.

The whole “keep exploring new areas to find a scarf with +5 points” is actually kind of silly. I get that it keeps players interested in leveling up, but isn’t all you’re really doing is keeping pace with the stronger enemies you will fight as you move forward?

The wounded guy wasn’t really wounded. You can briefly see him sprint out of the way of the truck. And Joel mentions later that he used to run the same kind of ambush years ago.

T-Mobile already subsidizes my Netflix subscription but if/when they enact this I’m going to just cancel out of principle.

The same guy commented on one of my posts last week too I think! It’s really strange (but not unusual for the internet) how few people here actually want to write thoughtful responses and engage in a discussion. Who would have thought that my pseudo-joke about how I thought Frasier was boring when I was 8 years old or…

I’LL TAKE ONE ELECTRIC VAN PLEASE!

Hey thanks for writing an actual thoughtful response to my comment (unlike most of the others) and clarifying that the stuffiness is indeed intentional.

I’m too young to have actually watched Frasier while it aired, but I always believed, from what little of it I did see, that it was probably the most boring show ever made. The show had a real stuffiness to it.

‘Prey’ was good, but better than the original? Not a chance. It didn’t really introduce anything new and since everyone already knows what a Predator is, it didn’t have any of the same mystery/scariness of the original. 

Really? Of the thousands and thousands of TV episodes and movies that have been produced in the past 17 years, you think a song being used 23 times is the DEFINITION of overused? I’d bet most people haven’t even heard it more than four times (likely in Arrival, Shutter Island, Stranger than Fiction, and now TLoU).…
