I think that it could be better, and that they're showing some things that they could do better, but they're still getting mired in the bad stuff that the show was notorious for in its early episodes.

It's not like Jed and Mo have zero experience at all. They were lead writers during Dollhouse, and that was as much their baby as it was Joss'. It's actually pretty evident that the same people working on Dollhouse are the same ones running AoS, as both shows share the same birthing pains: stilted dialogue, meandering…

Thanks for bringing up Alias. That show's first season is actually a very good example of what this show could've been doing while twiddling its thumbs for The Winter Soldier to arrive. Before it got crazy with its conspiracy theory Illuminati bullshit, Alias was just a fun little spy show that dropped Jennifer…

I don't always agree with Bricken's typo and error-filled rants, but he is right this time: children's entertainment doesn't have to be shit. The worst part about Avengers Assemble is that its predecessor, Earth's Mightiest Heroes, was both entertaining and good. Just like the Marvel movies mostly have brains, and…

Which sadly, does not grant you Omega-level ice powers.

Ok, fair enough, but what about blackmail? Leak the insider trading, and he should be done for. Add in the affair, and down goes the guy's public persona — as well as Decima's use for him.

Did I miss something, but why didn't the team try to bribe or blackmail McCourt instead? Harold is depicted as having more money and resources than God; he could've just offered more than what Decima was offering. Failing that, he could've just let all the nasty info they had about McCourt leak, tying him up in legal…

Thanks. I really, really, really hated him in everything Stargate.

Personally, I'd watch a show called Garrett and Ward, Agents of HYDRA.

My guess is that Quinn will find himself horribly fused with the gravitonium, and we'll get a Graviton with Quinn's more youthful body and Hall's insane persona.

The problem was, even compared to the early stuff of other quirky procedurals, Agents of SHIELD is totally wanting. Person of Interest? Castle? Monk? Numbers? Nearly all of the early episodes can't compete with those shows' first seasons. I get that the Whedons' strength is in serialized, season-arching plots versus…

It's surprising that people think that, especially when there are still PCs in every home and in business. Even denying that, you'd still have heard about the ridiculous success of Starcraft in Korea, or WoW in the rest of the world — except for Korea, where they're playing home-grown MMOs. Hell, I remember when…

Wow, CGI Hugh Jackman is brutal.

Creationists are upset that this show isn't considering the fact that the science might not be completely accurate?

Personally, I'd have wanted more songs. The third act was woefully lacking in any sort of musical number. That climax needed a reprise or two, or hell, its own song.

Just because it's not following your creative fiction paint-by-numbers set doesn't make it weak. Narratives are driven by conflict, and don't necessarily need an antagonist. Remember 12 Angry Men? That was just a bunch of dudes talking in a room, with no real "villain".

Ah, DevianTART. Explains so much. See, the problem is you're in a community that has a lot of yuri/lesbian fanart. It'd be like asking why there are so many gay people in a gay bar.

If we're talking about quality of songwriting, yeah, Frozen's songs are close to, but not better than, those old songs. If we're talking narrative, Frozen's much better. If we're talking positive portrayal of female lead characters, only Mulan tops it.

Nope. It's a pretty solid song. I'd have preferred if it lingered a bit longer.

Most people who like Frozen are (a) receptive to musicals, and (b) consider the Disney Renaissance films (1989-1999) to be good. You're obviously neither.
