Bojack and Master of None could be added to the list too. I think their movies are lacking and of course the catalog’s not perfect, but I’m not sure there’s a better value if you’ve cut the cord.

In a heartbeat. Jessica Jones is my favorite of the Marvel shows, but B23 was transcendent.

No warning is flashing for “both parties.” The Tea Party was mostly a reaction to a black president (look at their silence over the budget-busting tax cuts); these challengers on the left are trying to enact relatively popular and specific policies, like universal health coverage.

The dude who controls our nukes?

I live in DC and it was actually heard pretty consistently throughout the debate. (I was agnostic on the vote.)

I don’t see this existential dread angle discussed enough re TLJ — Johnson genuinely brought some great ideas to the series, but I’ve watched it a few times now and the sense that it’s a miserable slog is hard to shake. I love Rey and Kylo, but it’s really depressing to balance the arc of Luke not wanting to leave the…

“The things that were set up in TFA were dealt with, but nothing specific was offered in their place.”

I dunno if it’s even fair to call that a cliffhanger, and certainly not one that’s hard to follow up on — the scene with Rey finding Luke begged the question “where do they go next?” (people can disagree in good faith on how well Johnson delivered on that), not “how do they get out of this conundrum?” which is the…

I know this is mostly a troll comment, but to give it a generous reading: this become a flashpoint because it was such a clear example of what was wrong with the media’s treatment of Trump in 2016 (entertainment or journalism).

A pause on Kenobi or Boba Fett seems reasonable... I know people like to compare what Lucasfilm is doing with the MCU, but for the most part you don’t see Marvel jumping back decades to give us Tony Stark’s origin story or whatever.

Agreed — people wanted to compare the spin-offs to the MCU, but in broad strokes, Marvel has had success with their smaller films because they don’t jump back in “time” 40 years. If Lucasfilm had put out a fun-looking Knights of Ren film (that could even tease connections between VIII and IX) instead of Solo, they…

Is that controversial? It seems like fans are pretty evenly split between 7/8/Rogue One as favorite.

Same. I generally like the show but haven’t finished it yet because like many Netflix shows it kind of turns in a formless 12-hour movie rather than tighter episodes that seem written as parts of a whole like in Bojack, Orange is the New Black etc.

Waiiiiiit I never noticed that dagger or the fact that it disappears! Wild.

This Last Jedi example is weird because in the actual film it was intercut with the resistance shuttles getting blown up and Finn/Rose being betrayed.

I don’t see how what happened to Duvernay (or Jenkins) is anything like that you describe with Trevorrow. She was promoted up to directing a famously hard-to-adapt children’s novel that was probably never going to be a massive hit; he was given the keys to the long-awaited Jurassic Park reboot. Even the one example of…

Yeah — A Wrinkle in Time was always a hard adaptation, and certainly wasn’t a “bomb.”

Especially this one. AD mines a lot of humor from repetition, contrast, etc and this season was really hitting the gas by the time they got to this episode, so it’s frustrating to have an arbitrary break now (after 5 years!).

Uh.... Ivanka works in her dad’s administation. The world sees her through “the lens of politics” because she chooses to work at, you know, the White House in order to further his policies.

Yup. Like with Michelle Wolf, the media will take this chance to scold Bee (deserved or not) in order to seem “balanced”... and, once again, will hold a comedian to a higher standard than the President.
