I feel like Devery Jacobs and Paulina Alexis should have gotten noms. No offense to D’Pharoah, but if he was strong enough to get a nom, so were the ladies. Willie Jack and Elora were very strong characters, especially in the final season

I think Disney+ has produced enough seasons of Star Wars TV to show that Andor and the first season or so of The Mandalorian are exceptions, not the norm. If Disney+/Lucasfilm focused on good storytelling, I don’t think this article would exist. Instead, we got The Book of Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

The “Made with Real Potato” is somehow less reassuring. 

Sounds like the Alf sets had too many cooks...

Yeah, I recall the one where they all get stretchy powers leads to Sue being disgusted by them and marrying Ben,  Reed burying himself in his science depressed and Johnny becoming a celebrity magician

they aired ‘the curse’ weekly in theatres here and i saw the finale in a packed house with a group all seeing it for the first time. it was a really, really fun way to end a series.

I completely agree with you. When I read What If as a kid my favorite part was that they were stand alone stories that anything could happen in. Among my friend group we use to call the comic “What if Spider-man died..again?” because in that run I collected(which is Vol 2 technically) it seemed like every time

The Old Man Season 2?

What If? Was a huge disappointment to me.   It was one of my favorite comic series as a kid but the show just didn’t deliver like the comic did.   I also found the animation style to be off putting.  

Yeah, when will men put away childish, frivolous pursuits like video games and pursue more mature, dignified hobbies like dressing like absolute dogshit? 

Character development doesn’t have to have direct forward momentum. It also doesn’t always necessitate a dramatic personality change; that’s a high school English class definition of character development.

It sounded like a throwaway line from Barry, anyway.

I absolutely bawled when Viserion was killed in GoT. My friends were trying to console me and I said “It’s an endangered species, and now one of them is dead.” So I get it. It’s horrifying to watch, CGI or no.

I know that, as you say, Marvel’s stock is not at its highest point right now. But to be honest, the only MCU show they’ve put out that I outright disliked was Secret Invasion. All the others have at least hit “that wasn’t terrible” for me, and there’s been some legitimately top-tier stuff like Loki S2 and (most of)

I’m absolutely there with you. Once I could tell the dragon battle was coming I felt so much dread. And I literally had to plug my ears through some of that battle, and I was definitely crying by the end.

I agree with you. It hurts to watch the dragons die when we know how special, intelligent, magical, and truly rare they are. Dragons are the fantasy equivalent of dogs. I don’t want to see the dragons die!

I really felt for Maelys. Rhaenys is like “once more into battle, old friend!” and she’s probably thinking like “oh, ok I haven’t roasted humans in ages.” Then when she got there and was commanded to fight Sunfyre she must have been like “wtf is this shit!?”

Hard same. I don’t know why but I’ve been calling them kitties since GoT and it doesn’t help any.

It’s okay, we’re all allowed to be grievously wrong sometimes.

Wrong
