Any discussion of the “Big Three” of 70s punk that fails to name The Damned is intrinsically flawed.

It's a fair point, but quality has nothing to do with this conversation. 

Cool. I’ll be somewhere else, cheers. 

That first three-album run cannot be topped.

If you defined “Big Three” as “the best three punk bands of the 70s” I might be willing to agree with you. If , on the other hand, it’s meant to describe the three most well-known 70s punk bands, which is how I understood it, then I think this review is accurate.

They just look like they have Down Syndrome honestly. 

See I’d let him off on the mother, as she’s pretty much a forgettable one scene character with no impact on the film.

Happy for Matt and Kingpin to presumably be back in the mix. Would really be happy to start hearing buzz about the return of Jessica Jones

Tom, all three of these series of columns have been appointment reading for me the last few years. I really hope you've got another one in the works. Otherwise, I'll have to go back and start Age of Violence over again.

The twist in that story is so great. “When we were children Loki transformed himself into a snake, and he knows I love snakes, so I went to pick up the snake to admire it, and he transformed back into himself and he was like, AAH, it’s me! then he stabbed me. We were 8 at the time.”

The best joke in the MCU is the part in The Avengers when Cap shows up and starts barking orders at the cops, and the surly lead cop says, “Why the hell should I take orders from you?!” Then a group of Chitauri attacks, and Cap takes them all out in seconds, and the lead cop, without missing a beat, gets on the radio…

Sorry but the best joke in the MCU is the Thor/Surtur conversation where the chains keep rotating Thor out of eye contact.
