Why wait to binge?  Cliffhangers are almost meaningless while binging. You definitely appreciate them more when you don’t have a choice but to wait....and I’ve found people tend to remember and appreciate shows much better when they’re aired over several weeks.  I think this is why Netflix ends up cancelling shows…

I’ve made myself not binge shows for this very reason.  I don’t wait a week, mind you, but at the very least a day, and usually two or three depending on the show.  I’ve found it’s very easy to gloss over or not notice under-appreciated or important moments while binging.  When I get a chance to discuss a show or read…

Yeah I genuinely thought “man he just can’t help himself, can he?” when that came up on the screen.  I do appreciate it’s the same actor and it feels like it’s thematically relevant, but hard to say it’s necessary or enriched the material in any meaningful way....at least so far.

Well this is a terrifying bit of information that I feel like I already knew but never really acknowledged I knew, until reading it here.

I love this show, but holy shit the ‘no that was a hunting accident...” line just floored me.

I feel this way just knowing this show and all it’s ancestors are a thing, and are popular.  Why on earth you watched any of it when you seem pretty reasonable towards the end of your comment is beyond me.

It’s sort of okay, given they were stupid enough to sign up for it.  If they somehow, some way didn’t realize what they were getting themselves into then shame on them and they really deserve it--the information is out there and not hard to find.  Zero chance anyone goes into this or anything like it with blinders on.

It’s weird to me it takes old people for anyone to come to the realization that this show and the basic idea of it and all the fucking ‘spin off’s are morally corrupt utter shit.

yeah I don’t get why people think the execs aren’t interfering anymore.  The last few movies (including Marvels) have not been great--hell, Marvels and Ant-Man weren’t really very good--and I think the only reason they don’t stink more of studio interference is they had so much to interfere with they couldn’t get to…

Thank God, because Secret Invasion was flat out terrible and I’m still mad I stuck with it hoping it would get better.

Overexplain is right.  Marvels had so many exposition dumps it got to be a joke.

If those asshats are on to the ‘Streisand Effect’ then that probably explains at least partly why it might not have done as well.  They were out in full force against CM 1 and that movie made a billion dollars.

I’m as big a Marvel defender as you’ll find, but Marvels had a LOT of issues, even compared to their other recent sub-par (for Marvel) fare. The pacing was terrible (likely due to studio meddling and edits) and the exposition dumps, while entertaining, but still dumps—and there were so many it got to be a joke. The…

For me it’s Loki season 1 just barely edging out Hawkeye, but yeah they did a great job with Fraction’s material--and hopefully they’ve heard that enough to base some Daredevil and even (if we’re doing wishful thinking) rebooting Iron Fist around Fraction’s run and the mythology he helped build

I upvoted you for every 8th word.  Excellent choices.  No notes.

I mean yeah, you’re probably right, should have let safe ol’ Mandolorian director helm them all honestly. Branagh was wasted and (like most of the bigger name directors) says he’ll never do another. Whedon truly seems to be the only one given freedom and Avengers was amazing for it....though he ‘over-Whedoned’ AoA,…

but riled up nerds are what the MCU thrives on!!!!

We were sort of discussing this same thing in the Marvels review (and I’m super annoyed I missed this when it was first posted a week ago....somehow getting relevant content alerts is almost as impossible as getting the comments to work reliably...sigh). They don’t trust filmmakers they are inspired by and it’s…

It was SUCH a weird choice, though I guess with the quantum stuff it made sense, but honestly Kang should have fucking destroyed Ant-Man. If Scott had lost—and especially if he’d died— it would have made sense, AND given Kang at least some sense of magnitude (especially compared to the guy that lost to ants) and would…

100%--the long version (which apparently is what I watched) had waaay too much of him, and some Batman too, and apparently that wasn’t the theatrical cut.  My only thinking, given that’s the only version I’ve seen, is less of this film has to be a good thing.
