Who's your ideal Magica casting?
I'll pitch Kate Mulgrew, using her Orange is the New Black Russian accent.

Hey, don't badmouth Teen Titans Go!. It's taught me so much about building equity. https://www.youtube.com/wat…

It's kind of telling that when Raw Toonage (and man, what a bizarre show that was) wanted to pull from the Talespin vault, the only character they used was Don Carnage.
In their defense, "what if Ricky Ricardo was Errol Flynn and also a fox pirate" is perhaps the greatest character pitch ever.

I think you put your finger on the doubts I had about the Webby characterization. Arguably the original Webby has her own stereotypes, and it's really hard to avoid some sort of stereotyping with a child female cartoon character these days. (But then again, probably the best solution there is to have more than one.)

I loved it. I'm conflicted when it comes to Scrooge McDuck as a character, because he's pretty much the epitome of the American Dream as Capitalism (pull yourself up by your bootstraps, loot foreign cultures, keep so much wealth to yourself that you can literally swim in it), but it's all just so much fun. Webby's…

For me, a more apt comparison is with the TV "bottle" episode, an episode where it's just a small number of characters in a single location. It's certainly cheaper than a regular episode (usually) and simpler in terms of shooting, but I think it then becomes much, much harder to do it well, because eliminating the…

I really liked the moment at the end where Odo describes how much pleasure he got eating and gambling. The emotion Rene Auberjonois puts into the line tells us exactly why and how Odo got caught up in the possibility of being Kurzon, without outright saying it.

First three that came to mind:
Korra, from the Legend of Korra.
Steven Universe, from Steven Universe.
Jane, Jane the Virgin. (And I'd agree with DS9, although my affection for Kira grows with each rewatch.)

For it work, you have to assume that it's so many years later when Bernard started from the day that the partner died that no one would make the connection, and that seems really risky to assume no one would ever make that connection.
Or you have to assume Ford deliberately ensured that everyone who was a part of the…

For me at least, past a certain point, "will they or won't they" becomes "I don't care what they do because it's been too drawn out and I resent being expected to care about boy/girlfriend of the week when I know, narratively, there's no future there."
And I'll second a poster below, that Jane the Virgin does the…

I was really hoping Speedo Guy's mermaid unicyclist was meant to be a visual version of the "woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle" saying. But considering they end up together, maybe not.

My understanding is that there's rights issues with Little Nemo. (The character is public domain, but the movie the game is based on isn't.)

Between this episode and last week, the similarities between Renaldo and Lars make the revelation of their past friendship in Horror Club make more sense. It's not particularly flattering for either of them, but it makes sense.

I'm kind of torn that we never got a scene (though who knows; we might some day) showing how Rogelio dealt with Michael's death. On the one hand, beyond Jane, he's clearly the main cast member most affected, but I'm also not sure what that level of grief looks like for an over the top character like Rog.

Well, we can take the murder that started the series, resurrect the victim, turn him into a zombie, and we have Archie vs Predator vs Aliens and Freddy vs Jason.

I did assume something horrible was going to happen to Michael at least from the point the narrator said Jane would remember this moment, but considering that the other narrative focus of the episode was the concept of the unreliable narrator, it kind of felt that anything could have happened.

Upthread, someone asked what Marvel properties should be adapted into animated series, and I think America Chavez would be great—jumping around alternate universes, kicking butt, and… actually, no, those two things would be enough.

Your comment made me think that I'd really like a Priest-written Captain America series—and then I did some research and found out that he had done one, in 2004, with the Falcon also billed. And then I did some more research, and found out that it had a weirdly similar start to this run, and was derided for its…

"Everyone on the show looks like a comic strip character." It's kind of creepy to compare them to the versions Fiona Staples did for her run with Mark Waid. "Oh that's where Archie's eyebrows come from"
