Can’t wait to watch Young Kevin in a few years.

I disagree. I found it fascinating how often the “sitcom” humor actually made me laugh. It’s a satire of sitcom tripe, true, but I think it also makes a subtle point about how easy it is for high-minded "prestige TV" types to ignore/dismiss the effectiveness of sitcom writing. I think the show laughs at TV snobs as…

I am 100% convinced that Matsson is toying with Roman and that this will all backfire on Roman sooner rather than later. That all happened way too easily in that weird treehouse. We know Matsson was bored at the party, and if the show has taught us anything it’s that when rich people get bored, they look for someone…

Also, that leaves a great opening for a reunion episode no one asked for, and then four new seasons on Hulu+ beginning in 2030, a movie, and then a reboot in 2048 followed by three TikTokChannelSUPERMAX “shorties” in 2056 - whatever a shortie is but I have no idea because I’ll be dead by then.

I agree with how this article positioned MGS2: it was a game that was confusing and a bit disappointing at the time, but has aged brilliantly. The fact that GW is an AI designed to filter through the misinformation and “fake news” produced by giving humanity free reign to propagate bullshit on the internet...it was…

The thing about organic webbing is that it’s really a jump up in terms of how strange Peter’s spider-powers are. The rest of his abilities are basically just enhancements of normal traits: he’s super strong, agile, fast, and his senses are dialed up, which I think is the explanation behind his “Peter tingle” in the…

I took the comment as not being at all based on actual events. Just Shiv insulting Roman by equating him to the cliche of the poor school “slut” who lets “macho” types take advantage of her.

But they have to keep changing the wording of Ben’s famous advice for each new version.

The Stark tech hurts it enough for me to agree. I’m generally okay with how different characters get their personalities played with, that’s just part of making new art. However, it feels very lazy with all the tech he’s gotten and made it feel more like generic action, similar to a Transformers type movie. We don’t…

Right - I want the Spider-Man who runs out web fluid in a fight because he bought Aunt May medicine instead of the chemicals he needed. Not the Spider-Man who can just call Happy Hogan to fly him out of trouble on a super jet.

Sarah Snook is a very good actor.

I bought a Playstation 2 just to play the Tekken spinoff with Nina Williams, Death by Degrees on.

As his home planet explodes around him. 

Ehhhh he did less wisecracking and more “I’m so sorry to be doing this, I’m a big fan, really!” Which made sense then, because it’s not a great look to introduce Spider-Man by having him mock Captain America or Black Widow. But as time goes on, we haven’t really seen him shift away from that.

One of the most frustrating aspects of Roman’s behavior in this episode was that nothing his siblings said to him seemed to bother him. He was so high up on his own pedestal after his meeting with the GoJoGo guy, nothing could touch him.

I mean it’s fine in these movies, but the Stark Tech just makes them so much more uninteresting than the Raimi movies to me. I’d love if they ditched it and return to Parker being the lovable loser who has to rely on his own wits, not whatever cool tech he had no hand in creating is gifted to him.

I’m not saying we need more scenes of Peter Parker inventing his own tech either. I’m saying “tech” should not really take center stage in every Spiderman film. The tech has always been very secondary to the character, but parts of the new films have felt like the Stark equivalent of an Apple product demonstration.

You’d think, but actually no, it was in fact Shiv’s insult directed at Roman

I always looked at the lack of schools and kids in GTA games as Rockstar knowing which lines not to cross, but the hopelessness angle is way darker.

Cool, I guess. This has been kind of my least favorite version of Spider-Man, though. I mostly like Tom Holland but I think his version of Spidey could use a shot of the wisecracking confidence that usually defines the character. Peter can only go so long on that clueless new guy “just happy to be here” energy. I also…
