In the first episode of S8, Tyrion and Varys have reunited and are riding together. These two always have great, witty banter. Yet the dialogue came down to: “You’re short.” and “You have no cock.” That was literally it. And that was my first red flag that something felt...off.

“They wanted the pretty white people to ride off into the sunset together,” he said. “No, but the show subverts what you think, and that’s what I love about it. Yeah, it was called Game of Thrones, but at the end, the whole dialogue when people would approach me on the street was, ‘Who’s going to be on the throne?’ I…

“They wanted the pretty white people to ride off into the sunset together,”

Well, yes, but making jokes about trans people is lazy and shitty. The idea that comedians now “live in fear” when they’re still getting nominated for Grammies despite being “cancelled” makes it fall flat for me. Most here probably disagree.

i thoroughly enjoyed every scene with stan talking with his girlfriend alexa.

AoS deserves much higher than what it got.

WandaVision started off well but I think it came apart a bit at the end. Enough for it to not be #1 for a few reasons.

AoS deserves top 1, frankly 

Agents of SHIELD below Falcon and the Winter Soldier is some fucking nonsense I'm sorry 

Fucken Oath! AoS deserves top 3 at the very least.

I was pretty sure WandaVision and Loki would be 1-2, but Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D at 9? That’s crazy math.

Agents of SHIELD at 9th? That’s some weapons grade bullshit right there. You have to do better AV Club (again).

“”No one will ever love you.” I do. Lex has been the best, most entertaining character on this show and I shudder to think how these last 2.5 seasons would have gone without him.”

Except it’s not mostly chaff. Just about all of Radiohead’s last three albums, going back 15 years now, are loaded with melody and hooks. You can say you haven’t cared for it, but your initial comment makes it sound like you haven’t actually listened much, because it’s misguided.

Glad I’m not the only one missing the old Tony Blair lines. I first heard this on a concert bootleg about twenty years ago and any time it gets stuck in my head (or I am somehow reminded of Tony Blair), I end up singing “You lied to us, Tony,” etc, for hours.

Always been of the belief that Amnesiac was their best record. The one-two opening punch of Packt Like Sardines into Pyramid Song is gorgeous. I Might Be Wrong, Pulk/Pull, Spinning Plates, You & Whose Army… it’s all top drawer. 

I can understand that but In Rainbows could maybe possibly be their best album. Very pretty and melodic and more traditionally. Hail to Thief is also a good and underrated. It’s a nice blend of more guitar based songs and they’re more experimental stuff. Some of it even rocks

I’ve been waiting over 20 years for a proper version of that song. Love it.

I know it’s a little odd to offer up the Russos as an example of directors putting their own stamp on MCU films, but seriously: watch Captain America: The First Avenger, and then watch a few episodes of Arrested Development and Community (especially A Fistful of Paintballs and For A Few Paintballs More) and then go…

You keep leaning into the idea that the show was supposed to offer standalone stories, even though the ENTIRE PREMISE is that it’s riffing on movies we’ve already seen.
