In a just world, Goggins’ delivery of “That’s a ninja star with a booger on it” would win him a Emmy. 

Cannot wait to watch the Seattle Trogdors in action

Totally disagree, not every show needs to have a person to root for, in fact some of the best shows have terrible people on all sides. The Sopranos’, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, The Shield. You could argue GOT was at it’s best when there weren’t good guys and bad guys, but a bunch of squabbling power hungry families.

Not trying to be all MRA but I thought it was interesting how episode 1 had a viewer advisory for rape and episode 8 didn’t. Even though the latter was karmic it was still uncomfortable to watch...

There’s a lot of great mythology that comes from non-northern European origin. Forced diversity is just as racist as intentional exclusion.  Just find diverse stuff to watch, with a diverse creative and production staff. If you don’t want Tolkien, leave it alone. 

Originally, Arda/Middle Earth was developed as a new founding mythology of England. Of Celtic England, more specifically. Not a lot of people of color in pre-Roman Briton. The story is what the story is. In this day and age, Tolkien would be damned no matter what he did - racist if it was too white, orientalist if he

Seems like their accomplishments mean nothing next to their skin color. Some would say that sounds, oh I don't know...racist? Can we just be excited about what we hope is to come from their endeavor without judging them by appearance or gender? Can't wait to see what they create! 

‘a pretty white list, unfortunately’

I’m kinda shocked how many people here seems surprised and angry about the show’s cynical take on superheroes. What were you expecting from an adaptation of a Garth Ennis work? Unless he’s writting Superman, Gart Ennis is all about exploring the dark recesses of the human psyche and how great powers would only deepen

Strange that this review didn’t mention at all Kripke’s chops creating Supernatural (just starting its 15th and last season). Of course any successful show is a collaboration, but that at least illustrates that the guy has a knack for finding the (difficult) line in presenting a successful dramedy, combining action,

Which makes it all the more amazing when Spidey just grabs his arm like it’s nothing with a ‘cool you have a metal arm!’

I’m not sure what it is, but I think Bucky is right there at the top of my favorite characters. Maybe it’s the flighting through all of the conflict to try to be good, when he was always one of the best of people --no doubt a big part of the reason why Steve Rogers was who he was -- before Hydra screwed him up.

The Cap/Bucky escape apartment escape in Civil War is the BEST action sequence. It’s brutal, thrilling, and creative. I adore it. 

i made an account so i could like this comment dang it

It may be the CGI, but I think the mask and mohawk looks dumb. 

How good was Jesse Plemmons in Game Night? Holy cow, that guy’s terrific.

Despite its flaws I genuinely enjoy this movie. I watched it recently in preparation for this article and it still hold up for the most part.

Looks like a Stan Against Evil / Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell crossover ;)

My choice was Mustafa Shakir
