But the story wasn’t in one of those other countries.

Yes and no. It’s a little complicated. Strictly speaking, I should have said “the fall” instead of original sin.

When your baseline for humanity is original sin, Twitter is indeed rich in humanity.

I was disappointed in the lack of cats. There are only two cats, but the narrator never meets them. Neither of the cats are people. Maybe she should rewrite it so that after having sex with the sad old guy he turns into a cat, who then says “I had been cursed to be a sad nerd by an evil witch, but you have set me…

“Outside of the possibility of another amazing Michael B. Jordan performance, there isn’t anything to get excited about.”

It could make for a pretty good miniseries if marvel decided to really address that inconsistency. It’s not totally implausible, like how Pino in Do the Right Thing was super racist but loved Prince and Magic Johnson. In the real world there are a lot of people who like any number of black athletes, musicians, and…

GLOW is definitely the best paced Netflix show I’ve seen.

“Actually, there aren’t any gears in a computer. We should streamline the Ux until it’s perfectly smooth, rational, and confirms exactly to my experience as a 20 year old trust fund baby in Pablo Alto.”

Fair point. It would not require two movies though.

The continued build-up of Vader made him worse. Lucas and Krasdan did more in one scene in Star Wars than Lucas did in 3 prequels.

I’m aware of serialized tv. I wish someone would tell the showrunners at Netflix about it.

Galactus’ first appearance in the comics required no build-up. The first Apocalypse arc in the comics took only 3 or 4 issues.

You don’t need 3 movies to build up to Apocalypse. You need one competent director.

But they’re keeping the 13 episode half season even while writing shows to be binged and not worrying about episodic structure. 13 or 22 episode seasons are relatively easy if you have a mystery of the week. It’s harder if you have basically one story.

The Age of Ultron movie borrowed exactly zero plot points from the Age of Ultron book.

That would actually be really interesting. Is their commitment to communist ideology stronger than to Russia? Elizabeth especially would hate Trump and Putin.

Comcast has a near monopoly on the distribution side too. Especially whenever net neutrality ends, bulking up their market share on the content side would be worse.

Mutants shouldn’t even be in the same universe in the comics. The best X-men arcs ignore the avengers and vice-versa. In fact, the best x-men arcs typically imply that the avengers either participate in the oppression of homo superior or are powerless to stop it: Days of Future Past, Age of Apocalypse, the Dark…

An overlooked angle is the imminent conflict between ISPs and content providers after the end of Netflix neutrality. Consolidation make sure Disney more of a juggernaut against Comcast and Time Warner, which might even be good for consumers. But it also disadvantages smaller content providers like Filmstruck, mubi,…

I hope someone punches your fucking face in, and then you respond by saying “well, ten mistakes shouldn’t define you.”
