IIRC, the only reason he’s in the movie in the first place is because if you film at a Trump property, you’re required to put a cameo of him in your movie. I think there’s also a stipulation that he has to be referred to as “Mr. Trump.”

Wait... You are applying logic to a movie series featuring magic space knights and woodland creatures capable of destroying tanks?

That’s a pretty ridiculous thing to say, it’s the kind of ageism that I slam people for making directed towards younger fans. Try not to prejudge people based on their age.

Balk’s First Law: Everything you hate about the Internet is actually everything you hate about people.

“You’re contributing to that by refusing to recognize that people can have sincere and regular reasons for disliking a movie.”

You’re contributing to that by ignoring that the AV Club gave Joker a positive review. It is completely disingenuous for this site to put in on the worst list. Period.

Also, you’re further…

The Joker discourse was so fucking dumb. Critics, including some who have contributed to this site, ranged in idiotic opinions on a film that hadn’t even been released yet from the movie being about incels (which it wasn’t except in the most reaching-ass interpretation of one subplot) to the “wokest” idiots on twitter…

The worst things on the internet in 2019? The same as the worst thing on it since its inception.

Morally dubious rich guy insults morally dubious rich guy.

Fuck that groundhog receptionist, what a piece of shit.

As someone who was sat working on final touches to an anthology of anti-capitalist TTRPG adventures while I watched this episode, I 100% agree. It wasn’t satire, because anything with a lighter hand than “rich people are legally allowed to commit murder” would be too close to reality. Disney is buying up every media…

I didn’t think the White Whale stuff was meant to be satire. I think it was more, “how do you even do satire under late stage capitalism.” The point of satire is to expose wrongdoing and to sting people into changing their bad behavior through public ridicule. But the hell of our current political system is that…

“Phillydelphia?” I know there are a limited number of animal-city puns out there, but My Little Pony did that one first.

So, these animators and the animators that working on Tucca & Bertie unionize and then Netflix cancels them? Seems about right. 

It raises the question though (and I’m not disagreeing with what you’ve put above, by and by, just expanding on it) of whether Bojack “dealing with” his past is worth dredging it up for other people.

Mr. Peanutbutter’s joyous sobbing at finally getting a crossover “episode” might have been my biggest laugh of the season. THAT’S how you do a six season long brick joke.

Sat what you will about the social commentary but WhiteWhale murdering the employee over “taking bathroom breaks and encouraging the other employee to take bathroom breaks as well” seems like a direct dig at Amazon. Amazon’s warehouses are known to prioritize efficiency to a extreme degree, and many employees can’t…

interesting they tackled racial issues; you don’t want to think too long about what “racial issues” could mean in the world of Bojack Horseman.

I love the revelation that Vanessa Gecko doesn’t hate Princess Carolyn at all. That nailed their dynamic perfectly, I think.
