Well, they were bred to hunt badgers. Would you crawl into a dark, cramped underground tunnel where you already know a badger is waiting to eat your face? I would not.

Carol had powers and was actively working as an Avenger, but I'm not sure where it falls on her timeline other than that. I mean, she didn't do anything truly horrible, but part of the point of Alias was to make the heroes not necessarily all that heroic 24/7, so it made the Avengers hard to reach, be gossipy, be bad…

Google is a wonderful thing. I don't think I've ever seen these pages before, since I never really followed the Avengers.

Weren't they on tap to make a Netflix series of the Defenders? Or did I just dream that? Hellcat was one of the most consistent members, so I'd guess they're building a cast for that.

Where were you guys an hour ago when I saw the news and desperately needed someone to flail at???

Well played!

Pics or it didn't happen.

But it's very clearly spelled out earlier in the film that many ghosts don't know that they're dead and will not see anything that ruins that illusion. Without that knowledge and other examples we see during the film, it would be bullshit. With that knowledge, they're obeying the established rules of the universe.

His looks are ambiguous enough and skin light enough that at least a percentage of the racists probably haven't noticed yet that he's a person of color.

Normally, I would genuinely care about this, just like I care about Supergirl being blonde.

Whatever people think about M. Night Shyamalan's directing skills in general, The Sixth Sense's twist ending was genuinely good. It surprised both the POV character and the audience, but all of the clues were present throughout the film. It was unexpected, but not unearned, and didn't depend on Bruce Willis being an…

Thinking about this a little more, it's even worse because of the age difference. I'm not sure how old Hartley was when he started working for Wells, though he should have at least had one degree under his belt. But he seems young. A young man who has been brutally abandoned by his parents, who comes under the…

I believe that the whole slowed aging/brainwashed child assassin/(false) ballerina background for Natasha predates Joss by quite a bit.

I'm not sure which side I'm coming down on the actual lovers or not debate, but at the very least there was mutual flirting going on and romantic feelings on Hartley's side. Nice part is, from a character motivation standpoint, from that point on the jilted lover story plays out the same regardless of consummation.

If you feel like sobbing helplessly for awhile, here is the best (or possibly worst) letter written by a man who lost his son.

This is hugely interesting. Reading population statistics is just raw numbers, whereas a chart like this makes it clear that some countries I rarely spare any thought on actually contain a huge percentage of the global population - places like Nigeria, Indonesia, the Phillipines. (Until today, I honestly thought the…

In all fairness, I love my smartphone. By which I mean I love having a computer in my pocket at all times, and would gladly ditch the phone part if I could.

Ugh. I hated her so much, I ended up fastforwarding every time she was on screen. Which isn't a surprise, because she had a lot in common with River (only turned up by 50%), who I disliked more with every appearance. If I met Missy in real life I would slap her, albeit probably shortly before dieing horribly.
