Since I’m still in the greys over at i09, I’ll leave this here. I love you’re writing Evan, and I am super stoked for you. Can’t wait to get your book.

Yeah, this one seems the most disconnected from the MCU outof all the MCU tv shows, and it’s probably better that it stays in it’s own little hub considering how many inconsistencies there are just in the way characters react to things that should probably not be considered impossible.

The answer is that this show isn’t in the MCU. I know they say otherwise but literally nothing hints toward it, even when it would make total sense to. This show barely seems like a Marvel based show much less an MCU one.

So this show suffers from the same issue the Netflix stuff does. Not enough plot to fill out a whole season.

So, I simultaneously think that taking a full season for the kids to run away was the right choice, and yet the series did it in all the wrong ways. They just wasn’t enough plot here to justify a full season. They made some smart choices - like rounding out the parents and adding more conflicts there - but then…

This was the episode that made me actually angry at the pacing and focus choices of this show. When they started writing this show, they had to have some idea what would be the core narratives heading in to the final episode and what were the central relationships. So if they knew that and were planning on having…

If someone had told me at the beginning of the series that it would take them 10 episodes to catch up with the second issue of the comic, I would have assumed they were joking.

“Trust us, this is going to get good after like seven full hours of wheel-spinning” doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence.

“The point stands that its years old.”

If you click through to the article, you can find the part where she tells him she’s 17. It’s not hard to find. It’s literally the first thing in the screenshots.

So Jane’s Franco hitting on a 17 is wrong but a movie about a 17 year old boy falling into a relationship with a grown man is the romance story of the year? Seems like a double standard.

That’d be nice! But it’s not a sign of great storytelling when producers have to spoil future events to reassure the audience that they aren’t completely fucking up.

You’re crushing it with these reviews Allison. “They ruined everything, those stupid bitches.” Leading us on a merry chase indeed. I liked the episode too, they’re moving the story along at a good clip.

I was being sarcastic. Crash is an awful film.

This is the correct take. Both are overrated—Ippudo is a solid chain but Ichiran is awful—and the whole tonkotsu thing is so incredibly overdone. There are so many more interesting styles of ramen out there and it drove me nuts when I was in Tokyo for a year that the lines outside of both would be packed with tourists.

…

Nice bit of in depth analysis.

Two.

shut the fuck up.

I think is being sarcastic....

Wow, the transition to Kinja has somehow obliterated many peoples’ sarcasm-meters.

What an oddly defensive comment. The whole piece is a celebration of her mom, and how she appreciates the ways in which her mom was different.
