The Sunny gang LOVES their characters but realizes they’re awful and write to that. The South Park duo also loves their characters and wants people to know that Cartman is awful but kinda write him like they secretly think he isn’t. That’s the difference between the two

A lot of South Park’s humor is trolling based, making jokes that they know would offend people (especially those who cared about trying to make things better) and when they did, just say they were joking. It was funny and they were really good at it but the DNA of that sort of humor was appropriated by people who use…

I feel like I missed out on getting a huge deal with Netflix by not filming a movie during quarantine but then that would have gotten in the way of my curling up in ball on the couch and crying

She did but she’s also one of the most famous people in the planet, an employee of an evil corporation and held in suspicion y her coworkers. It’s hard to believe the members of the 7 can just disappear like that for a day or two. Annie has that Clark Kent thing going on where I’d she wears glasses and a hoodie,…

This might be me babbling but it feels like the idea of some Captain America/Superman type superhero that represents the idealistic view of America seems kind of quaint and old fashioned these days. We’ll see what happens in November but it’s really hard to believe in any of that in light of the Trump presidency.…

I thought the episode was tense only because both Annie tagging along with Hughie and MM and Butcher going to visit his wife veered awfully close to being too stupid of a plot choice to work as both would seem to be incredibly dangerous. Like how much freedom does Annie have to just pick up and go to NC without anyone…

Everytime they show him from behind and feature his big, almost too big cape, I always think about Edna Mole’s view on capes in the Incredibles

I knew it was Stormfront the moment I heard Liberty say something- same voice as Stormfront

It’s sort of the Trumpian idea that you don’t need to win over the majority of the public, you just need to rile up the base and win via electoral college and various shenanigans. You can also maybe look at it as a statement of the loss of a mono culture into more siloed cultures

I’m glad they had that scene too as I feel that both he and Frenchie were underused and underdeveloped in S1 so I’m glad they’re giving us more background into them. It was also a really well-done scene, very nicely written

Her Gretchen was one the best performances I’ve seen on TV. Since You’re the Worst and the Leftovers were both airing around the same time, I always compared her to Carrie Coon- two actresses who appeared out of nowhere (they both mainly do theater) and just blew everything away. There’s little things Aya’s doing as…

He’s terrific. He’s doing a fantastic job this season of being someone who is slowly realizing that he’s losing control over everything and he no longer in tune with the times

Maybe Billy Joel is a superhero and made all those things that he sings about happen?

I dislike Butcher and one of the problems I had with S1 is that I felt the show suffered when he was the main focus. He’s just angry, vengeful, Alpha Male turned up to 11 and there’s nothing much else to his character. In fact, I’m kinda suspicious his role is part of the show’s satire. He also has some sort of super…

That’s one of my favorite bits :(

Just out of curiosity, what about it’s politics that turned you off? Some people think the movie is pretty prophetic 

Not sure about generational but I think maybe it has more to do with age. Just generally, you’re more passionate about things when you’re younger as well as still curious. You want rewatch things because you love it and you want to explore everything about that movie. When you’re older, you’re less passionate about…

Like every biopic, it’ll end with him being inspired to write his own classic song- Revolution #9

There will always be biopics because there’s only so many ways old rockers can canabalize their past to gain a measure of relevance (otherwise known as selling back catalogue). Madonna has long lost any measure of relevance, craves that relevance  and so it’s either that or the Voice. I guess she could always do a…

Don’t forget Vanilla Ice!
