These days there is plenty of Star Wars to not even wait for. I’ve been watching Star Wars Rebels and before that the Clone Wars. Waiting does not make the heart pre-emptively grow fonder. Though, to be fair, it did take me 3 viewings of TPM to start ro catch on that it sucked. So, I guess my point is, why wait? Watch…

They should just cut bait, stop making Snyderverse DC movies and dump all that budget into the Berlantiverse, letting them expand into theatrical releases that would include the TV characters in a way that the MCU has not. In this way, DC could actually one-up Marvel. 

I’m no art critic but I would suggest his art could be described as populist pop art. It’s art that readily appeals to a pre-existing audience, giving them a bit of what they expect, exaggerating some of it for effect, and then surprising them with details and nuance that doesn’t exist in their memories of the…

I feel that Chris Nolan films are generally solid and entertaining but I feel like most of them are overrated. His Batman films got progressively more self-indulgent until he boils one of Batman’s most impressive opponents down to a sibling/sidekick who is effectively just working for someone else. While this article…

I’m thinking it’s audience is much more niche than anyone wants to admit. I mean cyberpunk is a tiny corner of sci-fi as a genre. Honestly, most of the movie goers that make films blockbusters are not really fans but just people who enjoy science fiction. I think the number of people who aggressively like Blade Runner…

I think you are expecting an awful lot from a DCEU movie! i was just happy I cared for anyone at all. I half expected Wonder Woman would be unlikable. The Mother Boxes might as well have been called MacGuffin Boxes.

Sometimes I read these columns and am sure you’re watching a different show than I am. You’re entitled to your opinion, of course. I just wish io9 would let someone who likes the show, who is still capable of being critical of the show, also write a column about every episode. Honestly, it’s a *little* like reading…

I’m totally that one douche in the audience who would have been thoroughly annoyed with having the movie interrupted. Especially since the gag kinda got old after the first couple scenes.

Totally looks like Elyes Gabel, the guy who plays Walter O’Brien, on Scorpion.

I’ve been reading all of your post-show recaps so far and while I agree with you on the continuity issues, I think you actually do hate this show. You have very high expectations that I think are really hindering your ability to see (or at least acknowledge) how good this show is. From frame one I knew continuity was…

You really think the VFX on Doctor Who now is made to look like the VFX on Who from the 60s?!? Have you seen those episodes? And what about the 70s? They did the best they could in the 60s and 70s and clearly in the 21st century they did a helluva lot better!! Those VFX were painful to watch when I was a kid in the…

For the last several days I’ve been fighting the urge to believe that Ragnarok was out next weekend. Every time I look at the calendar, I see it’s not for 2 more weekends. Then I read this post and I’m questioning my perception of reality. It’s like the mind-bendingness of the film is traveling back in time...

I feel like they should just spin-off Marvel’s Netflix shows into their own universe called “Marvel Dark” or something like that. I watched the whole of Daedevil season 1 and 1 episode of Jessica Jones and stopped with the Netflix shows. Just way too dark. I wonder if the world being so truly Effed up right now isn’t…

Well, we have a guy who believes Obama was born in Kenya and that Global Warming is a hoax created by the Chinese as the president, so I’m not surprised at all a new flock of idiots are out there predicitng stupid crap. I mean, this guy getting into the WH with his absurd comments and claims just gives permission to…

Guys—relax. All I said was there is a spoiler in the headline. io9 usually puts specific details about an episode behind a spoiler warning so I thought it was safe to come here. I didn’t say the episode was ruined for me or that my life was over. You guys spent more time whining about me than I did whining about the…

Thanks for the spoiler headline... 🙄

Yeah, gotta say—I went from “Hey, I might see that.” to reading Bardem’s casting opposite Lawrence and saying “Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.”

I really find LoT a mess. There really isn’t much chemistry between the characters or the actors playing them and Rip Hunter seems like a character in search of a point. Really, they all do. The second season was better than the first but that bar was set pretty low. Of course, Flash and Arrow’s recent seasons have…

There was an ep of TOS that had Kirk tell a Klingon “To the devil with you!” or something similar and the Klingon replies with something like “We Klingons have no devil but we are familiar with yours.”

Did I miss something or is this app not actually available on the app store?
