It's a simple as: Hell's Kitchen SOUNDS like the dirtiest part of town. The vast majority of the audience won't have first hand knowledge of what Hell's Kitchen is really like...but I hear you.

Fox owns the rights to gentrification so Hell's Kitchen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe still looks like it did back in the day.

Daredevil is fighting crime in modern Hell's Kitchen? So, what's he do, stop drunk party kids and tourists from puking on the sidewalk?

I didn't add Looney Tunes because I expect that to be a given for anybody. :P

My roommate in college said it best, and it's something I've taken to heart. "The reason I like anime is because it's highly stylized characters against a hyper realistic background." The tension makes the characters very interesting, and the visual shorthand allowed by the stylized characters means you can say a…

Marvel is well aware of this. That is why the first Captain America was mostly a historical WW2 science fiction piece whereas the latest Captain America was more of a contemporary spy thriller.

i would try changing genres...

I get what you're saying. I really do. But the average TV viewer doesn't see it like that. Most viewers WANTED the answer. Similarly, LOST was never about the island's mysteries but about how our pasts don't have to define who we become. And yet, there was hue and cry when all the mysteries weren't wrapped up in a…

Why studio executives thought it was a good idea to force David Lynch to solve this mystery in the middle of the second season; the word is that they were trying to combat Twin Peaks' declining ratings, but what did they think would happen after the mystery was solved?

This has always bugged me. None of the character's names are ACTUALLY Asian names. They're Asian-sounding fantasy names. Shyamalan didn't change the names to be more correct, because the names don't actually exist. The cartoon's names can't really be pronounced incorrectly when the names were wholly invented for the…

And an overall criminally underrated film. It's pure cinematic candy. There's no other way to describe it.

My first thought.

What movie? There never was an ATLA movie. I don't know what you people are talking about.

I can't believe he cared so much about how Asians would pronounce his name, while simultaneously casting a white kid from Texas to play the role of Aang.

I just remember seeing him in the movie the first time and saying "Holy shit, there may never be a more perfect casting in the history of anything, ever."

Ahem, I think this is the best adaptation of a cartoon

Exceptions to the rule are nice.

I remember reading that the reason that M Night changed the pronunciation of most of the names was that the way they were pronounced in the series were incorrect from how they would be pronounce in Asia. Of all the sins of that movie (basically the whole movie was a sin), that one difference was the least of my…

One caveat for #1:

Unless it's "On Ice!" Those were always pleasant surprises. Maybe it's lowered expectations. Maybe everything is just better with skates on.
