Well, it’s critical to the thought that was expressed.

I mean, an entire production was shut down. People lost their jobs. It might be a little important.

It’s all part of Billy Madison Act of 1995. 

Succession, Downton, and Mass listed for the other actors, and Kelly Macdonald gets Holmes and Watson. Not Gosford, or No Country, or Brave. Holmes and Watson. Pretty harsh.

I agree with you about what worked in this episode, and you unpacked it here more eloquently than I could have. Another point of agreement: If I were a network chief, I’d give the Glovers and Murai a full-season commitment for a drama anthology series yesterday. But I still wish this season of Atlanta gave me more of

I dunno, I disagree that this fell flat. It revisited a lot of themes that have popped up in the show before (the desire for minority culture as long as you have the ability to contain it or escape from it at will being the big one) and I thought pulled them off pretty well from the jump. Miles can listen to his

The memories aren’t. I mean that’s like saying they were all bottle episodes because they took place on Earth.

Some questions answer themselves!

You forgot the element of surprise

soon to be followed by The Way of Earth, The Way of Fire, The Way of Air and culminating in, you guessed it, The Last Airbender.

As a tight-bottle episode of sorts

Season’s not over yet.  Perhaps they’ll start bonding in Nacho’s absence.

Billy Batson’s gonna be 30 by the time Shazam vs. Black Adam comes out.

That is a great first image. I remain cautiously optimistic about Gerwig’s Barbie film, and I also hope it leads eventually to a movie about Astro City’s Beautie.

True, but in this case the class of people to whom it ostensibly applies who don’t like it and don’t use it far out-numbers the people who do.

It’s especially stupid because “e” was right there in gender-neutral words like “estudiante.” It’s even more stupid because it’s only ever used for “Latino” and “Latina”; nobody’s writing “Mexicanx” (two different x pronunciations!) or “abogadx” or “amigx.”

Unfortunately it looks like they changed it after you posted this. 

Our inquiry into what name to call a group of people should start (and often end) with identifying what name they call themselves.  “Latinx” fails at that first step -- it’s not widely used by the Latino community, and doesn’t make sense grammatically in the languages widely used by that community.  The use of the

“This marks the first time a Latino will lead a Marvel movie—and the first live-action Marvel flick about a Latino hero.”

El Muerto isn’t a well-known hero within the Marvel universe, but then again, it’s not like Morbius was widely known, either.
