There’s always Melissa McCarthy

Agreed - she did not study at the “Dwayne Johnson and Dave Bautista School For Former Wrestlers Who Are Also Fairly Compelling Actors”

I don’t even know why they’d have to recast, does anyone give a shit about “Cara Dune”? I don’t really understand what the concept of this series was ever supposed to be in the first place, and I think Disney...or everyone... is overestimating the draw of Gina Carano if they were thinking she was the lynchpin of the…

Jack Powell is the lead character of this show, you dolt. He got married to his coworker, Marnie Sanchez, after a few season of will they/won’t they chemistry and they had a baby in the most recent season finale. 

It took me a full five minutes of wracking my brain thinking through all the characters before finally going “Oh, Jake. Right.”

Oof. I somehow missed the dog whistles.

Yea... when I read the series (or the first 8 or 9 books anyway), I was a teenager in the 90s so I either didn’t see any issues, or thought “yes, this is great, bang those dirty virginal warrior witch sluts”. As an adult, when I heard they were making a tv series out of it I got excited and then started to revisit…

I don’t know where you’re getting this idea that I’m a conservative. Technically speaking, I’m on the left, just not “The Left,” the group I think most liberals are a little embarrassed by.

I read the entire series (that had been released to date) when I was in college, in 1996. And then kept up with it through each book as they came out for the next decade and a half. Lord of the Rings is great and all, but the Wheel of Time was 100% my jam. I am more excited about this TV series than I have ever been…

But how will they translate the five-page-long descriptions of dresses to the screen?!

First book was great. But I remember it all going progressively downhill. I got to Book 8 or 9 before I just couldn’t make it any further. Reading became a chore, worse than that even.

lol, not to wade into a decades old discussion about which books are slow or not but 4, 5, and 6 are some of the most exciting before we get into the famous slog. Which books exactly are part of the slog or whether the slog even exists are still debated hotly to this day.

Inspiring? Sure.... If you can call it tongue wrestling with Lois Lane amidst wanton destruction of Metropolis, with people still trapped under it. But yay, he only cares for Lois, so inspiring.

people think man of steel is dreary because tonally and visually it is dreary. 

I love that the review title makes it sounds like Snyder was somehow sentenced to making mediocre, grimdark comic movies for WB, as opposed to him willingly (and happily) being the main creative reason and driving force as to why they were.

Like Roger Ebert said, good movies aren’t long enough, and all bad movies are too long.

You believe this movie is “culturally significant”?  Why?  It will attract online attention through this weekend and then disappear, much like Sucker Punch and nearly all of Snyder’s other movies.  Sure, fanboys care, but literally no one else.

He’s also played by digital Tig Notaro.

I was so pumped until I saw the run time...2 and a half hours...come on man, what’s wrong with a tight, concise 90-100 minutes?  I thought escapism meant “escape from reality” not “I need to escape this movie”.

Hey! Where’s Cyborg?
