What she doesn't mention, is that only the first 5 episodes were sent out to critics, so she doesn't even know how this season ends.

I haven’t read the comics. I however do love the show, and think it says a lot about things such as corporate monopolies, the adverse effect of hyperindividualism, the heavy toll of revenge, and toxic masculinity. All things you don’t even seem to have considered the show could be talking about.
Come the F on, Linda. You know perfectly well the commenter meant hero as in “protagonist”, as in “the character you root for.” And your review totally treats Butcher as the protagonist of the show. As the main character. One way it does that is by totally ignoring the actual protagonists of the show, Hughie and…
Thinking that everything is about social issues is likely why the other guy thinks you sound like a “hack”.
This is an adaptation of a Comic that makes no social commentary at all, simply satires the super hero genre as a whole in the most brutal manner possible. Not everything has to have a deeper meaning. Try reading the source material, because honestly to anyone who has, you simply sound like a hack.
Your critique of this “critique” is magnificent. I am personally a long-term Gawker/Gizmodo fan, and enjoy much of its community and content. (No, I have never escaped the greys, despite this.) Whenever it misses the mark, though, it tends to do so hard, and in this case, you have thoroughly explained why. Your…
So...I think your tweet was correct. I’m not sure you were watching the same show as everyone else. Or at least, you didn’t see it the same way, certainly. But you start with two very flawed premises here.
I’d like to point out that satire is a means to expose reality via humor and exaggeration. I don’t think it’s obligated to provide any answers. Also, The Boys does include social commentary but ultimately and primarily it’s a satirization of the Superhero Genre which I think it does well. Presenting these superheroes…
Well, no mention of price was made in the article (regarding the Razer vs MPB). So what was the point of the original comparison?
I understand needing to put a notch on a phone. It’s a small, pocket-sized, full-screen device, and if they want no bezels AND a front-facing camera, there’s gotta be a notch. But my question is, who was complaining about the bezel-size on a 16-inch laptop screen? That notch is far more distracting than the bezel ever…
That’s great, but that model destroys the theaters (since Disney and othes aren’t splitting their streaming profits with the theaters so far). I’d rather wait 45 days to watch at home if it meant being able to go out to the movies for years to come. If the studios are willing to split the profits with the theaters at…
You keep saying that, but there hasn’t been a replacement yet. Tablets? Phones? Samsung DEX? etc. The tablet is a good consumption device, but the laptop form factor is still better for creation. It sits on your lap better. It has better input controls. It runs “real” programs. It’s going to take a lot for a tablet to…
Right? The colour was my favourite thing about this vehicle, including the interior. The “conservative” colour takes any possible interesting facet of the vehicle and buries it.
What’s wrong with the purple? At least it’s something other the boring as hell black/white/silver/grey options.
Not all products are aimed at consumers. This is clearly aimed at businesses.
I find it astounding that as a gadget-focused website you’re not lauding cool, new tech. Your last sentence especially irked me. Xiaomi has introduced a shitton of tech with very, very competitive price-to-quality ratios. But what, because it makes a premium concept gadget every once in a while (that helps generate…
Wait, you did not dream all your life to stand behind transparent TV and swirl around in ridiculous ball gown?
Can you play Galaga on it?
But it sure would be nice if tech companies spent less time stunting, and, I don’t know, more time making cool gadgets normal people can actually afford.
OMG this can’t be happening! Call your congressmon now!
