Which, I suppose, was the reasoning behind casting a Hispanic actress as the new Yellow Ranger…

Yeah, the problem is the source material. I read an article with Scott Derrickson where he was explaining the Catch-22 he found himself in when trying to cast The Ancient One for Dr. Strange—go with stereotypical Asian character, or whitewash? I'm sympathetic, honestly, because it seems like he was just trying to…

Also, does anyone know how to merge my main Disqus account with my AVClub one? It seems to toggle randomly back and forth for me.

I'm…not American? Born and raised in Asia, actually, with Mandarin as my first language. And yes, HK and China aren't the same, but a lot of Sinophone cinema in HK, post-1997, has been co-opted into a larger project of Chinese nationalism.

So…this season is basically a retelling of Dark Knight Rises, except with Prometheus standing in for Bane? Seems like the Nolanverse films will never not be a well for this show—heck, the temple in the opening scene with Talia looked identical to the one in Batman Begins.

It's gotten steadily better after Winter Soldier. Or are you still stuck in 2013, Manimal? How did you get there? How did you stay there? Can I join you? My life fell apart after 2014, my longtime girlfriend broke up with me and I lost all my friends, it's all been a drunken haze of regretful sexual encounters with…

Hitler.

Yes, you did.

They should bring back Bobbi and Hunter as embittered villains next season.

…

Westcest: is wrong.

…pop pop?

She basically just showed up on a rooftop in-costume for a quick chat with Ollie though. Didn't do any actual ass-kicking o.O

It's all fun and multiple orgasms until Barry vibrates too fast and phases through her cervix, RF style.

So let me get this straight, wait, i'm the rookie?
but my features and my show ten times your pay?

Having seen it, I can't think how it would intersect with SHIELD. The Book of the Vishanti doesn't appear in the film, I don't think, so there isn't much of an explanation for the Darkhold, and it doesn't overlap much with the rest of the MCU either.

I loved how they sacrificed the containment module to job Robbie as a bamf, because one thing which really annoys me about the Marvel Cinematic Universe is how powered down some of the heroes are (IM3, Thor 2 etc.). It's a great scene because we've had about 10 hours of storytelling where the container is presented as…

Honestly, Hive in Agents of Shield was an Asgardian-level villain.

Iron Man's a weird one. In the first film he begins with the MK I suit, which barely survives the firefight of the escape attempt. By the time he gets to the first Avengers movie, he's shrugging off Thor's lightning attacks and surviving being in the radius of a nuclear bomb. In Iron Man 3 his suits are flimsy enough…

Two superspeedy supermopey CW sadboys might create a mopehole so great it warps the space-time continuum
