Ugh. This one sucks so much. My stomach is just in knots. Norm (along with Conan O’Brien) likely shaped my comedic tastes more than anyone. I loved everything about his charm, wit and delivery. You just know that even with his own death, he’d have the PERFECT joke for this moment. I’m gonna miss the hell out of him.

They could have called it Y: The Last Man*

On one hand I applaud Netflix’s willingess to take a gamble on weird, nerdy shit like this.

Yeah... you’d think they’d have gone with the fantasy races having their own actual cultures and even stereotypes but they just copied the usual real life ones and added makeup.

No people mocked it because the worldbuilding was lazy and relied entirely on poorly thought and lazy racial coding.

Yeah, the Brave and the Bold was great. I think it’s just more of a trend thing as superior shows like Adventure Time, Steven Universe, Gravity Falls, Over the Garden Wall were extremely successful so that’s just kinda the trend the shows have gone.

Uh, this seems clearly tied to the movie aquaman more than any other aquaman series.

“Does that mean this is going be a fun show that elitist nerds are overly critical of because it’s not a serious reboot of Super Friends or a billion-dollar film franchise?”

Be interesting to see how they may explore them in the future. 

I don’t like IM3, it left me incredibly cold and I hate the third act. But I LOOOOOOVE the Trevor twist. I also loved the Last Jedi. I very much enjoyed ShangChi. Tony Leung ruled in it. ;) 

“The Mandarin was no Joker, or Lex Luthor, or Darkseid. He was a questionable 2nd-3rd teir villain. And as such, he could be developed in modernized in a lot of viable ways. The one they chose for Iron Man 3 just happens to be the most interesting.” I fully agree with you on this. The article’s thrust of “WHAT IF THEY…

Speaking as an Asian-American: wallpapering over all your trauma, especially related to your emotionally distant parent, just so you can keep your head down and blend in = most relatable character ever

I really dislike the use of “fans” as a catch all term. It’s a hacky writing trick to deflect authority from the author and, as these comments attest to, in this case it’s not even accurate! Who cares what "fans" thought, just tell us what you thought and make a convincing case for it.

I’d been thinking that way for most of the movie’s runtime, much as I liked it. But when they were actually brave enough to have him go “Nah, I fuckin killed that guy,” it worked for me. Suddenly, I wasn’t looking at a guy who was too squeaky clean; I was looking at a guy who’s spent ten years trying to grow past his…

She’s the person who’s as good a choice at playing a young Furiosa as anyone currently acting.

Far be it from me to question the wisdom of dipshits on social media, but Trevor was not a mess that needed cleaning up. He was a clever twist on a lame character that fit nicely with the theme that Tony/America has always been their own worst enemy.

Both “Mandarins” felt half-baked despite the A-list talent playing them.

The ten rings themselves were pretty lame. Would have really enjoyed each ring having a power set like in the comics.

I loved Iron Man 3 and Trevor in particular. Glad to see he’s back in the new film, which I will enjoy once it comes to streaming.

Killian thought the Mandarin was a myth, a folk tale, but he knew a lot of people really believed it, so he capitalized on their (supposed) superstitions with Trevor. In All Hail the King, we learn that Killian was mistaken, and the Mandarin isn’t a folk tale, but real. Quelle surprise
