It might have worked if the Whisperers’ almost-mythical control of the zombies hadn’t suddenly extended to being able to physically grab and manhandle the zombies to use them as human shields without all the other zombies surrounding them noticing this distinctly un-zombie-like behavior.

Depending on what specific attack helicopters they used, it’s not implausible that they could destroy the entire complex. It’s more implausible that they could effectively deploy attack helicopters from 1100 miles away after the entire infrastructure of the military in the country has collapsed. Where would the…

Decimation was losing a 10th of your men. Devastation was losing 30% of your men.

I suspect that in short order, the teenagers will discover that the enemy is really us and that we are the walking dead.

Whenever The Quick and the Dead is ever mentioned, my mind immediately races to how much Ace Hanlon does not make sense as a character.  I mean, this guy basically gets by on a gimmick and a BS rep, right?  He knows he’s not the real deal.  So why would he ever go within 1000 miles of a contest full of people who are…

Yeah, I suspect so.  Usually I am not a huge fan of grossly overpowered characters, mainly because, what’s the point?  Who are they going to fight?  But Wanda is bit of a different case, because they basically turned her into her own worst enemy over the years after being sort of an underpowered character in the…

Well, that’s true in Endgame.  I was referring to the moment in Infinity War when she held him back even when he had almost all of the stones already locked into the Infinity Gauntlet.  But it is true that she outfought him in Endgame to the point where he did what you said.

Prior to Atticus, are we to assume that the kumiho was ever somehow choosy about her victims other than the original perverted molester? Because I admit I might have missed something, but I found it pretty hard to sympathize with this creature after it more or less committed 99 murders of guys who wanted nothing worse…

I suspect we’re probably already there with Wanda’s power set. Like I mentioned in another thread today, Wanda’s one of the few who individually went toe-to-toe with Thanos in Endgame and the only person who held him off for any length of time while he was wielding the Infinity Gauntlet in Infinity War.

A lot of it likely has to do with the cost associated with keeping cast and crew under contract doing nothing weighed against the startup costs for another cast and crew for a new show when things start to get back to normal.

They broke serious ground in the realm of mass number of PKers.

The post-apocalypse world of The Rover looked an awful lot like 1990's Oklahoma.

The comic book basically had analogues for all of the major published comic book superheroes popular at the time. The world’s version of Xavier was a pedophile who abused all of his ‘children’ and murdered those who were about to expose him.  There were other things nearly as repulsive, but that was where I ultimately…

I agree with you. The comic book became seriously repulsive fairly quickly. The show seems to have toned down Ennis’s excesses to a tolerable level for now.

I’d say Ready Player One was at least as self-aware as Forrest Gump.

That may be the case, but my point was that it was something completely different from source material sort of dressed up to look like the source material without many of the elements that made the original source material successful.  It doesn’t really matter whether it came first or The Raid came first or which…

She was active as an ‘also starring’ on other network shows for a few years, then married James Brolin and had a baby.  Presumably, at that point, she decided raising her daughter outweighed what remained of her acting career.

I dig Dredd too, but it really wasn’t Mega City One.  It was The Raid with everyone wearing Judge Dredd cosplay.

Sex trafficking and pedophilia have become more common in the lexicon of ‘evil things the other side does’ in recent years because it’s one of the few things the modern world still almost universally agrees is evil.

Almost every game ever made is relentlessly repetitive.  The trick is whether the developers have managed to make you feel like you have a stake in repeating the action over and over.
