Totally agree. Holland’s Parker is just Iron Man jr. and I hate it. I really hate his gaudy sci-fi magic suits. He has no real stakes either. I think his Parker is too naive and childlike, and he needs a surrogate father figure in every movie (Tony, Nick, Doc Strange). Its weird, but to me Garfield’s Parker was the…

Praise for the Invincible shoutout. That episode was on another level.

It's never bothered me. 

Words cannot express how delighted I am to see amazing spider-man ranked dead last. For me that’s the only one I hate, for a simple reason, because it’s boring mediocrity. It’s not a bad movie, it’s just crushingly dull to rewatch. There are worse movies, but something like amazing spider-man 2 has flashes of gleeful…

Between that and Defendor and Special and Green Hornet kinda and probably something else I’m forgetting it felt like we’d reached peak superhero film and the genre was going in on itself and would pop like a bubble soon. How wrong we were/I was.

Dear Mr. President,

I still think this is a better spoof than The Boys, which feels dated both in that it’s spoofing a Justice League that was never visually on screen in the way they’re representing, and that their edgy material all feels like it’s from 2003 (super terrorists).

I don’t think you’ve fully considered that a reboot would be Totally In Your Face. 

In 2010 Kick-Ass either came out at exactly the right time, or slightly ahead of its time, with some of its deconstructionist commentary on the genre. Same with its gleeful R-rated violence. Now that sort of stuff is everywhere (plus the original is a largely faithful adaptation already that nailed what it needed to…

I just wanted to hear her say the words “moose and squirrel”.

And then they find out all their credit cards have been canceled in the intervening years. Hope they have cash!

A column in search of a problem? I find it hard to believe that the AV Club that dedicated a whole piece to the Captain America Twitter changing its icon for a week would be guilty of that!

There are indeed a lot of terrible implications to the Snap/Un-Snap conceit, but personally, I prefer thinking about the funny ones. Like someone who’d just sat down to eat at a Thai restaurant, got snapped, and then re-appears five years later at the same table at what is now a Mexican place.

I love the character of Yelena Belova. She’s sassy and funny and her accent drives me crazy.

This feels like a column in search of a problem. Was anyone really that put-off by the Black Widow post-credits scene? Is this week’s episode so significantly at odds with that scene that it needs this many words to make sense of it? Or are we feeding the SEO machine some Hawkeye content for the top of the search bar?

I guess I disagree with the show handling it better than Black Widow stinger, although I didn’t think that was good either. But I guess the question there becomes more of a question how one perceives Yelena’s character arc in the movie. As for this to make more sense, it means that Yelena is currently a hired killer…

Can I just confirm that based on your presented stance here, do you think that people can only formilate opinions until the whole show is finished? And that reacting to the information available is categorically wrong? Because otherwise I really struggle to understand your point here. I mean is there a point to have…

This is in Kinja, if they don’t spoil at least 5 things a day, they beat the writers.

Parentheticals don’t require literal parentheses. It is a more of a nested thought between points.

For a while, the movie remains in the charmingly low-key register of Holland’s previous two solo adventures in the suit, which at their best played like teen comedies with some middling superhero action running in their margins. The stakes here feel similarly scaled to the divided priorities of an adolescent Avenger;…
