After that weird Age Of Ultron interlude about Natasha being a monster for not having a uterus/not being able to have kids, I appreciated that this episode casually showed a former Black Widow happily adopting a child.

I like the concept of it (old man Bruce mentoring a new Batman), I like the futuristic setting, I liked Terry as a character and thought it was perfect to make him distinctly different in personality than Bruce, and I thought they did a good job building up his rogue gallery while showing what happened to some of the…

Just make Batman Beyond already.

So when I read the title

I think this panel from Grant Morrison’s Flex Mentallo is a decent response to this nihilistic nonsense.

I kinda get where they’re going by giving Perrin a wife that he kills by accident. In the books his primary character traits are that he’s cautious, and doesn’t act without thinking, and that he hates violence and wants not to participate.  He doesn’t have an internal monologue to explain that first one so they give…

...and be sure that the first line of a feature article is a “Fuuuuck Yooouuuu” to the movie!  Hell, let’s do that part twice!

I’ve always gone with Magical Hitler. His arrogance breeds blind spots that are ultimately his undoing. I’m sure he thought he was being very clever with his selection of horcruxes, and none of those lesser intellects would ever figure them all out.

“Instead almost all of her influences are drawn from classicism and myth; whether Arthurian or Grimm.”

the difference between scenes directed by the project’s eventual helmer, Cate Shortland, and those handled by second-unit crews is obvious.

Edgar Wright (who is awesome, and I really liked Last Night in Soho) has basically said that he didn’t give a shit about fitting Ant-Man into the larger MCU story. Which, that sounds nice and all, but you don’t hire a director to direct episode 17 of a TV series if they aren’t going to give a shit about what happened…

Especially odd considering many of the criticisms involve the idea that Zhao’s style does indeed come through, but fits very poorly with the Marvel story being told. 

I think the MCU trusts their directors if they happen to fit in with the house style tonally already. James Gunn and Taika came in being known for fun and irreverent films. So those movies fit in with the directors’ filmographies, but they were also hardly doing anything that Marvel wouldn’t normally do.

This is a bad take. That plant that created Tuvix was no different than the borg assimilating people.  Are you find with the Borg going around and assimlating people? Does their right to exist trump the right of people living thier lives before assimilation? If seperating Tuvix back into Tuvok and Neelix is murder…

I think they’ve avoided making Mariner a Poochie. She seemed like that’s what she was going to be early on, but the show has done enough exploration of her flaws (that she’s been stuck as an ensign for far longer than the average Starfleet officer, she’s very competent but constitutionally allergic to responsibility,…

The real moral dilemma re: Tuvix is: "is a slightly less irritating version of Neelix worth losing Tuvok over?" To which the answer is: "no."

Or that Archer and Phlox let an entire planet succumb to an easily curable disease because “evolution”.

To be fair, most the major influential elements of the X-Men we know today come from the book’s late-70's, early-80's relaunch of the X-Men book.

All right, who had Barsanti giving a bad review to a fun episode after whining the day before about how the episodes were too dark?

Oh, everyone did. That’s right.

“Why, it’s almost like the show has been quietly setting up some kind of arc for its narrator, but would could have possibly seen that coming?!”

Would could…
