Regarding the slow, meandering pace of early seasons, I think once the writing team started splitting seasons into multiple arcs of 6-10 episodes each, the pacing improved dramatically. Several other superhero shows at the same time (Gotham being the most prominent example I can think of) found success with that…

While I agree Season 1 is far better on rewatch, I think the bigger problems were lack of a clear protagonist and tonal and thematic inconsistencies. Like, I didn’t expect to ever see Iron Man on the show, but I did expect a show about SHIELD to kind of explore the murky gray areas of the Marvel universe, and early on…

It’s not as if many people from the hood can afford WS tickets. Those boos came from people with money.

That’s a nice thought, but no. Trump’s narcissistic personality disorder has already rationalized this incident away (they were saying “Lock HER up” obviously).

Yeah, but you gotta figure that the folks who are attending a World Series game are reasonably affluent, especially in the suite sections where Trump was. And as they announced the death of the ISIS leader that morning (with Trump personally performing the five finger exploding heart technique on the guy), maybe he…

Continue to enjoy his money with the added bonus of not having to be anywhere near him anymore.

THANK YOU. I thought I was losing my mind reading all the hype and praise over this stupid grimdark character. Every time I see some bit from DC these days, it’s the fuckin’ Batman Who Laughs, DCeased, or something from Injustice. Puts me right off.

Is it me or has DC Comics been a staggeringly depressing place this past year or so? At least 80% of their output seems to have revolved around villains winning, heroes getting corrupted, apocalypses or, in the case of DCeased, all of the above.

This looks dumb.  What is the point of The Batman Who Laughs?  He doesn’t act like “Bruce Wayne, but twisted into a Joker-type”, he acts like “villain-of-the-week #27".  Just more Joker-adjacent edginess, I guess.  The art looks good at least.

In order to uncover The Batman Who Laughs’ master plan, Superman has infected himself with Joker toxin and broken the villain out of his prison underneath The Hall of Justice.

Somehow I feel this show will become a focus of a certain group of Americans (Faux News crowd) claiming that they and their “values” are not being portrayed in a positive light.

Here to recommend 10 Cloverfield Lane, then. She’s proves she’s a great lead actress in it, and John Goodman deserved an oscar nomination for his role.

The line about needing an action hero in his 50s reminds me of just how long in the tooth most of our pop culture action heroes are. Bruce Willis 64, Denzel Washington 64, Liam Neeson 67, Tom Cruise is 57, Brad Pitt 55. Daniel Craig is a veritable spring chicken at just 51!

The uncanny valley is made all the more uncannier in cases like these where pretty much everyone knows what actual 23-year-old Will Smith looked, sounded, and acted like.

In the upcoming sequel, Gemini Mans, they flip it around and have Will Smith try to assassinate CGI Uncle Phil.

This one makes me want to grunt and drag my knuckles along the ground as I walk.

“So ... I’m a dude playing another dude, who’s a clone of the other dude.”

This is at 30% right now at RT and sinking as you’re the only top critic in the country right now so far that’s given this a positive review in one of Ang Lee’s worst-reviewed movies.

LMAO this is the dumbest post on the internet today.
