I had never heard—or honestly even thought of—the “Underground Railroad” allusion, until I read your post. I had heard the MLK vs. Malcolm comparison made, thought, but I think there are flaws in that. And I’m with you on Killmonger—he may have been a murderer, and the storyline never showed us anything that warranted…

I love Drew, but the man needs a break every now and then.  I would be perfectly fine with George and Ballaban pinch-hitting a few times a year. They did a great job.

From a purely technical standpoint, Disney has shown they can do it (see: Rogue One). Whether or not Shandling’s estate/family would permit it is another story, and I honestly don’t know where they would fall on that.

This was very, very good, and we need to have a Jalopnik takeover of the Funbag on a more regular basis.

I dunno, man, I’m completely here for that.

I cannot believe I never made that connection! And it is particularly interesting, when you look at the motivations of the characters (Killmonger trying to lead “his” people to salvation via militaristic means vs T’Challa trying to lead his people to salvation via what he saw as enlightened benevolence). Each believed…

Bingo! Let it be a mystery, for a while. How long has this man/woman been a Skrull? It would be a great way to get MCU geeks digging back through old movies, looking for Easter Eggs or bits of throwaway dialogue that indicate when the character was replaced, etc. Marvel would be creating a self-sustaining hype machine…

I, for one, am interested in know what exactly a Raider does smell like.

I’m sure someone in that time period will be revealed to be a Skrull, but I doubt they’ll be that specific about our current day characters. I don’t know that we’re going to outright see that in this movie. I think it’s going to be heavily implied (that one of our present-day characters is/could be a Skrull), and…

I’m going to be flying my old guy flag, here, but “Slow Dance” and “Honey Love” were the shit when I was in High School. I loved those songs. Hell, that whole album.

You definitely don’t Tiptoe around the issue.

I really wish asshats like Bevin would just come out and say “I don’t like him because he’s black and I don’t like black people.” Really, just save us the effort of having to guess (correctly).

Which are of infinitely higher quality than anything Imagine Dragons has pushed out, to be sure.

Who the fuck names the kid Dabo? I’ve never figured this out.

“slang term”

Holy shitballs, these letters are made up, right? Like, Salty just imagined the most asinine take a new parent could have, and typed it up?

To hear Baltimore fans tell it, the Browns’ history doesn’t count towards the Ravens’ history...but the Colts’ history DOES. And I’m pretty sure that Flacco isn’t as good as Baltimore’s second favorite football player of all time.

Holy shit, I loved that game.

Oh, the replies this is going to get...

Sweet lord no. Washington does not need Flacco. We need SO MANY OTHER THINGS.
