My problem is that Thunderbolts and other “kitchen sink team” things work best when there’s a diverse group to look at visually and see them interact, and most of these people are just variants of “super-strong person that can beat people up.” It’s going to be VERY boring unless they bring in something like

Yung Gravy and bbno$ (frequent collaborator) peaked with Welcome to Chili’s and are also, like, SO fucking thirsty for any kind of hit. I remember one song they almost beg for it to blow up on Tik Tok.

The production isn’t bad but their flow is all mumble and the thirstiness is just too much, it permeates.

The only winning move is not to play.

I mean this basically in line with the source material, those kids were up to all sorts of shit and then went on to go to “class” (which I say in quotes because I don’t think Hogwarts, like...ever actually TAUGHT anything. That school sucks)

Oh, please, no.

I’m of opposite opinion, I was very happy with this season and thought it was one of its strongest. More self-contained tales, the humor was varied, and it didn’t take itself as seriously. Thumbs up from me. The “meta” episode was one of my favorites yet.

People are also down on the latest season and I thought it was one of the strongest it’s ever been, and I think Harmon and Roiland had less involvement than usual. I remember reading that they’ve given things up to a writing room that’s much younger AND more diverse (especially with female voices), and I think it

Thank you for elaborating.

What did you not like about it? Considering it’s pretty much universally beloved, seems like you might need to show your work.

I’m going in a Fuck Paizo shirt. The motto on the back? “We Sold Your Houserules Back to You.”

Children’s song. Spooky sounding. Also my internal head canon is it’s the name of the thing.

It’s a bad film. It’s okay. Indie darlings can be bad. After the second ear-splitting jump scare I realized the director didn’t have full confidence in the movie he was making and we instead got a mish-mash of ideas, all under a film-grain effect that loops every 10 seconds (ON PURPOSE?! MAYYYYYBEEEEE!)

I was honestly

I should’ve SKIPamarink’d but whatever, go get your money ya little indie “horror”.

Oh, no!

Wow, you’re right. They really rushed that first sequel out quick.

Didn’t we JUST have another one of these last year? They’re really cranking them out. I guess they’re not hard to shoot.

Weirdly enough he did great work and didn’t slip in Under the Banner of Heaven. Made me reevaluate him a bit. 

Black Company for me. A guy can dream. 

Ha, I was one of those teens, steeped in D&D, who had a buddy run us through it and I thought it was soooo cool.
