Yes, that is what humanities departments tell themselves.

Yeah, it's at the aggregator level that this method of partial reviewing gets thorny. They treat these partial reviews as final and lump in the scores with the rest (whose writers may or may not have done the same thing).

I thought DD S1 handled the origin aspect well. Scattered flashbacks and cutaways, but for the most part we're in the now and the character has a good running start. Very economic and light, compared to the usual Marvel technique of giving over an entire production (be it movie or TV season) to a longer take on a…

She can't, because it isn't. A stray remark about the "evil" of mass production is not a treatise.

The best parts of S4 are when various cast members stand on that scaffolding-ass perch and marvel at how "impressive" the Initiative's foil-lined municipal airport hangar is.
