The Boys is such a surprise. At a glance it looks goofy, but dive in, and it actually has things to say about our culture, and hero worship, which makes it unique among all the other comic book shows out there.

It really is something when a series can pull that off: a costumed Supe standing around with people in business suits and you think nothing of it. It got a bit weird after a while though. What if you get mustard on your cape? Do they change underwear every day (if they even wear them)? Do they all have seven…
I tried reading the comic but was thrown permanently off it around issue 3. I started the show out of curiosity and was immediately hooked. Absolutely a blast of a show. Homelander alone was such a perfect balance of entertaingly monstrous and tragically pathetic. Everything with Stormfront in season 2 was very…
That is one addictive series. Whoever designed Homelander’s outfit should get an award because it is the nuttiest combination of corny and porny I’ve ever seen, lol.
From the sound of things, Harris didn’t even like Hannibal Rising.
The way Dino DeLaurentiis framed it in an interview at the time, he basically told Harris “I want to keep this franchise going. If you don’t write this, I’ll find someone else who will.”
End result being a book very clearly written under protest.

Oh, so now everyone’s gonna act like there isn’t already a perfectly fine Spider-Man 3, featuring not one, not two but three awesome villains plus some really slick dancing and a new haircut for Peter Parker?!
I mean, Winter Soldier had Cap criticize SHIELD having tech similar to EDITH and Far From Home thinks it’s ok for a 16-year old boy to have such unchecked power?
Arms could just be running his dead carcass around, got the body out of the water and someplace he could dehydrate.
As I understand it, the adaptation rights to the characters introduced in the novel Red Dragon, including Hannibal, Will Graham, and Jack Crawford, were sold separately from the rights to the characters introduced in Silence of the Lambs, which include Clarice, Paul Krendler, Jame Gumb, and Benjamin Raspail. That’s…
I blame the A.V. Club. If you guys didn’t stop the doing recaps, there would be more interest and more episodes!
IRON FIST definitely ended with the most promise of any of the Netflix shows. LUKE CAGE had him going hard against character to become a villain, JESSICA JONES was sadder than it should have been, and DAREDEVIL at least reached a nice plateau from which it could spin off in virtually any direction it wanted to. But…
Daredevil was a much better show, but in a weird way I’d almost want more Iron Fist/Daughters of the Dragon. Iron Fist ended just when it was picking up steam, and Alice Eve was really excellent as Typhoid Mary. I want to see where they would have gone in the next season.
Alice Eve’s Mary Walker was amazing and as soon as I heard they were going to bring her in to Daredevil Season 4, I wanted it so bad.
Luke Cage would have been better if everyone stopped trying shoot and/or hit Luke with blunt instruments when they all know it doesn’t work. Like, Luke is not that overpowered. There are plenty of villains in Luke’s weight class that’d be an even match. The Wrecking Crew and the Absorbing Man to name a few.
But what about Rocket Raccoon’s lawyer; surely you could make a show about him?
“Can you kill him first so I can watch?” Whatever else can be said of this season, that was a fantastic character with a fantastic final line.
