Except Starlight, she’s a little ray of sunshine compared to the rest of them.

Because if they said it, Maggie Haberman would stop being able to phone Ivanka to get gossip and “insider” information.

Because even in the Era of Trump they still abide by the whole “Well we don’t know if someone is lying!” standard. What they fail to realize is that as soon as someone unscrupulous chooses to take advantage of that standard it all goes to hell. By not calling out his (or anyone’s) lies, suddenly the media is the one no…

If you think the decision to make The Deep a rapist in the pilot is head-scratching, don’t read the original comic, in which the perpetrator is Homelander...and Black Noir, and A-Train, all at once. 

I haven’t read the comics but I thought it was more like everyone in The Seven except for Homelander were real people with real issues who have been ground down by seeing so many bad things and by being corporate shills for years and years. Hell, Queen Maeve pretty much says all of that to Starlight in that one…

I think it’s more nuanced than that.

Queen Maeve is clearly more disillusioned than evil.

Yeah that’s why the decision to make The Deep a rapist in the pilot is so head-scratching. Perhaps actually show the heroes being heroes before we see how “unheroic” they truly are behind closed doors. How can we sympathize with A-Train when our introduction to him is him nonchalantly killing an innocent bystander?

And then piss and moan when that transformational player has opinions about how the team should go about trying to win during the periods it actually does that, apparently. 

Agreed. I’d love to hear Mr. McCarter name the feeling of hate and aggression that permeates our culture every day since Trump took office. As a writer, Mr. McCarter, do you not feel it? Your profession is about recognizing zeitgeists and giving form to them with language so they can be addressed. The trend Ms.…

Snipes was primarily a dancer who also trained some martial arts and also had a stunt double for a lot more than you would assume. I love Snipes and believe he really sells action well, but he’s not the same caliber of martial arts performer that Donnie Yen, Scott Adkins or Michael Jai White is. Ali is a better…

No, it is not. He doesn’t create, he doesn’t inspire, he doesn’t think, and he doesn’t lead. He is a dumpster diver claiming he is a gourmet, an eternally needy chameleon who will be whatever you want so you’ll approve of him, and a person who hates everything and everyone but nothing and no one more than himself.

“Some of them will listen to criticism from fellow conservatives.”

If you’re reading this, you need to stop, tell your mom to chill and/or bring you a Pepsi, and go watch Rip Torn as the baddy in 1982's “Beastmaster.”

To be faaaair....

My takeaway both from the reveal of Billy’s father in S2 and his past in S3 was that it explains in large part why he is, but it in no way excuses his behavior. I felt the same about his final gasp of anything human in the last episode. Forgetting everything that he did in Season 3 when under the influence of the Mind…

I have to admit; I think I’d kind of prefer it if Billy didn’t get the last-minute moment of redemptive humanity. It might be partly the slightly vengeful former bully victim in me hungry for some kind of petty justice / revenge even years later, but I think there’s some compelling reasons .

Also, fairly certain Whoopi didn’t spend most of her life ‘traipsing around the Hamptons.’

Actually getting elected would seem to be a good sign that they’re electable.

The debate feels really at odds with the Marvel Netflix Universe’s stylistic choice to be “gritty and realistic.” Don’t kill/kill can work as a debate, but not when the big bad is so ridiculous overpowered there’s no way to legally restrain him (a la Daredevil Season Three) or when it’s obvious not killing will result…
