Whoah, whoah, whooooooaaaa-oh!
Sorry, dude, but I've learned the hard way that "Whooah"-ing is no way to solve your problems.

What's wrong, really, with taking it all a bit seriously? Why's it got to be bouncy and silly and colorful, endlessly jokey and self-referential? Why should every superhero movie be a feel-good comedy for the whole family? And most importantly…when a superhero movie isn't wacky, deprecating fun, why do people freak

No, YOU

I don't often criticize the site, but man the AV Club sure has it in for this movie for some reason. What even is this? A post declaring that a movie they were determined to hate is projected to do well, so "Waah waaah", criticism is dead? We, the grand bastions of pop culture declare no one should see this wacky,

Oh, just knit together some greenscreen, stock film of world sites, and repeated footage of the Flash pumping away in a vague blur, and it's hardly more expensive than a clip show!

I think if Barry is so obsessed with "training", an ideal episode would be Barry trying to run all the way around the world, just to see if he can. It has to happen eventually. In other media, the Flash does it all the time. Casually, sometimes. Synopsis: Barry declares he'll make it around the world in 1 hour, but

I'm still optimistic about this Series of Unfortunate Events series. It seems like they're throwing a lot into it. Please, Netflix, just shoot for the books' strengths—dark and funny. Constant death and laughs. It's an unbeatable cocktale.

Not a bad idea. Reminds me of how Scott Snyder has gone out of his way in recent years to make Bruce Wayne a genuine character in his own right.
Then again, I've also tended to sigh when Snyder has had Bruce get up on his soapbox and make yet another grand speech when I'm kinda just wanting more of Batman punching

Eh, I think it's okay sometimes. As a nerdy lad, I read a version of of Azumanga Daioh that had much of the jokes "Americanized", and found it all very funny and fun. Later, I re-read a version with a much more literal translation, where you had to flip to an index and study why the joke was a pun or some specific

Sounds like how they tried to make The Thief and the Cobbler into a fun musical. Or even tried to tinker with the Princess Mononoke translation to make it more "accessible". (Thanks for trying, Neil).

How bizarre! Was it to too gay or somethin? Because being too gay is one of the only reasons I can imagine a studio dropping a "family feature". Let's face it, it'll still be another 20-30 years before Pixar releases their movie about two anthro purple crayons who fall in love.

I really admire how melancholy this show lets itself be. Sure, it's 75-90% comedy, but it doesn't shy from how bleak things really are. In the vaguest way it reminds me of Scrubs, which was also super goofy and sad at once. But then, I think I just like sad things. At this moment I can I feel my weeping heart painting

Sounds like corporate speak to cover for Yakko, Wacko, and Dot escaping the water tower again…

Tempting, tempting….

Donate 10,000+ dollars and win a dinner with Gypsy herself, during which she will officially disclose who is the better host on behalf of all the bots.
(Spoiler, it's Mike)

Still reeling and wailing over the Ghostbusters trailers, MRAs the world over decide it must be fat bottomed girls who are keeping this movie from getting off the ground. If they make the rockin' world go 'round, they have the power to keep men down, like the evil sluts all women are!! #FuryRoadMaleGenocide

Don't tempt me with The Shadow. I love the Shadow. I bought a huge box set of Shadow radio shows on cassette in college, 'cause my car only had a tape deck, AND had a Baldwin-esque Shadow action figure as a kid.
I know how bad The Shadow needs to come back. You know. The Shadow knows…mwahahahahaHAHA!

Sam Raimi deserves a comeback. He practically invented the modern superhero movie but seems to be floundering since the original Spider-Man franchise got unfairly written off on multiple levels (c'mon, Spidey 3 wasn't THAT bad). He used to be something unique, some crazy creature between Peter Jackson and Tim Burton.

Some of you must remember Street Sharks, right? A desperate 90's ripoff of Ninja Turtles about about a crew of radical dudes that got turned into tubular sharks. They had a cartoon, Lame in concept, but I seem to remember the toys were pretty rad.

I guess I missed the hints and memos, but I had no idea Diggle was going to be in this episode. He just showed up.
As he should in all shows, everywhere. With a catchphrase.
Arrow, Supernatural, Modern Family, Game of Thrones, Bob's Burgers…he just shows up.
And he can Dig It.
