I’m pretty sure the whole point of setting the comic in an alternate universe is so they don’t need to do status quo-preserving stunts like that. And that sort of cheap tragedy isn’t really Hickman’s style anyway.

It’s not just being married and a dad, it’s staying married and a dad.

He even claims that it was “too much confidence for too little skill.” That reads to me like he thinks there’s a level of skill where lanesplitting and weaving through traffic at 100+ miles per hour could ever be done safely.

They should dry their hands and use a kitchen cloth.

I didn’t know they captured the samples in a pickle jar

The question about any genre is devastatingly simple and fundamental:

Looking at the comments it seems that we might be past the aggressively defensive “No but The Last Jedi was good and you’re stupid if you don’t like it” phase of movie fandom, yes?

It’s basically Prosperity Doctrine/Gospel, wrapped up in tech-bro buzzwords. Good People get rewarded with good lives. He has a good life, therefore he is a Good Person. Since he is a Good Person, any ideas that he has are good, especially those that support his continued success.

It’s extremely hard to stop smoking crack. That’s the whole point of crack. 

Ah yes, because all those thieves are getting caught in the act.

You had me at Kurt Russell in the arctic.

At least the American Godzilla. Godzilla (1954) and Shin Godzilla are fantastic because they aren’t just action porn. Godzilla: Minus One looks like it will continue the trend.

This tracks. MCU movies had a solid track record because they did the work to make sure every part added to a coherent story. Infinity War and Endgame could have been sprawling messes. But with a TV season that feels like arbitrary segments of a 10-20 hour movie. Not always, WandaVision and Loki and Ms Marvel were…

lol when the average viewer can tell that the titular lead of your kung fu show is visibly bad at kung fu, that’s the sign of a bad show

i chose those five because they are critical outlets that commonly review marvel series i didn’t cherry pick i literally just googled

This is a really rose-coloured view of the Netflix MCU, which had about 3.5 good seasons between all six shows, two of which were Daredevil’s.

The pilot doesn’t have to be filled to the brim with expensive one time use CGI effects. This isn’t 1980s animation. In fact most TV shows don’t have a lot of CGI in the pilot for this exact cost saving reason.

Reliance upon visual effects is a crutch, they use the effects to hide poor acting, bad filming, or poor…

this is based on the reviews from critics who have seen 4/6 episodes -- i have seen both high and low reviews

You know what’s also not working? $150 million TV shows; especially a TV show that’s supposedly about a “street level” hero from NY. How the hell is that gonna cost the money you’d spend on a blockbuster movie? I severely doubt the Netflix version cost a percentage of that.
