Please, yes. Turning Jimmy Olsen into a generic-brand vigilante was a terrible mistake.

I was going to comment on this, but you beat me too it. I remembered Red Superman doing a whole lot of good for the world.

It’s sad. They’re really not doing Supergirl justice, even if a few of the stories they’ve covered are good Superman stories.

I loved this show, the ending was a total mess, but I’m that it got such a warmhearted finale. Could have used 20% less gunfire and 20% more orgy.

I love this concept. Can’t wait!

For a serial series, short and sweet seems to be the best! That said, long-running episodic shows need to dial it back and unfold at a more natural pace. If Supergirl’s going to get 22 episodes a season, they need to bloody chill.

Your texts were hilarious, but this makes me so sad! I was crushed going in to season two when it became obvious that they hadn’t fixed the flaws in the first season (which was shaky but charming and fun for a new show) and doubled down on the stupidity. Kind of like Angrier Geek said, they treat their audience like

I couldn’t even finish season two on Netflix on fast-forward. It was maddening, and I REALLY wanted to like this show.

This is the only thing that would make me watch this show again. Okay, only those specific episodes. Okay, only those specific scenes on YouTube. But still!

Ugh. I swear every modern show suffers from this lack of focus. It’s either a miniseries (and overwritten, convoluted, and pretentious) or episodic (and a nightmare of competing plots, characters, and zany hijinks. I miss done-in-one episodes and shows that let characters breathe and grow over a few seasons.

That about sums it up, sadly. I had such hopes for this show...probably shouldn’t have, but I had them!

So true! It doesn’t help that this type of movie, heavy on CGI, look terrible in just a few years. You can still watch Jaws and Jurassic Park and the original Star Wars. Try watching most of the sequels, or, worse, any movie made in the early 2000s....Yikes.

I feel like they were doing a good job of setting up the characters and providing a reason for why these teenagers were “Power Rangers,” and it was appropriate for an origin story to wait until the last act for the “big reveal” of the suits and final battle.

Ah! I wouldn’t know. It seemed like a weird, kid’s show-type monster...it’s made of gold, bwahahahaha!

So, so, so true. A “reader’s dozen,” which is to say, a shifting sequence of dozens of books all jostling for priority.

Can’t wait for “Brief Cases,” but now I have a half dozen new options on my list! Agh!

Alas, if they still treat any and all creative projects as “resources” to exploit and not stories to tell, we’re still kinda screwed.

I also rather enjoyed the new movie as someone who never saw the original Power Rangers show and (sorry) don’t know what all the fuss was about. Solid superhero origin story, good characters dealing with real issues like you said. I could pass on the final monster (apparently it was from the original show) but thought

It’s funny, as someone who never watched Power Rangers as a kid the movie was awesome - great cast, solid if not shocking story, fun action. I categorized it as a “good superhero team origin movie” not a “Power Rangers movie” and had a blast. Would watch a whole TV show about the team in high school.

Thank you! Industry panic about weekend numbers - hell, even pre-sales - are incredibly frustrating, with the potential to create a “bandwagon” effect as impressionable theatergoers bail on “bad” (i.e. underperforming) movies, even though the film in question might be fine! These numbers mean so little to the actual
