Shooting Kylo so he's weak enough that Rey can hold her own against him is the reason why I care less about the fight than I might have otherwise. Rey beat an injured opponent, what kind of climactic victory is that? A chasm opens up between them to end the fight (???) and they're both off to train so they'll be…

That's difficult to reconcile with his introduction as the powerful force user that overthrew Luke's new Jedi Order and who is second in command to Snoke. Besides, if you read it that way then who cares if Rey beats him? We're supposed to be pumping our fists that Rey won but the movie explains that they're evenly…

Compared to a small indie film sure, but they're no different than other summer blockbusters.

No more of a risk than any film not based on a popular established IP. Marvel deserves credit for building Iron Man, Thor, Cap, Black Widow et al into brands but they don't deserve praise for making movies that don't enjoy the reduced risk of starring a popular character. That's just the regular risk associated with…

The major difference being I don't have to pay for pun threads. When I pay to see comedy I expect better than throw everything at the wall and see what gets the most upvotes, though that's what these improv-driven movies seem to amount to.

It's the mitigating factors that make it unsatisfying for me. I don't care if there's a canonical explanation if the result is unsatisfying (see: the prequels). One of the biggest problems with anything Star Wars since RotJ is they'll make any excuse for a lightsaber fight. Shooting Kylo comes off as just an excuse to…

It's only irrelevant because they didn't put it in the movie, Cap only wanted autonomy because they wrote him that way. Cap's motivations could have been written any number of ways, such as incorporating his past experiences with government betrayal in a way that informs his current motives and actions. Or they could…

That and HYDRA not being central to the discussion of government oversight of the Avengers in Civil War. I don't think Cap brought them up once in his half-baked arguments against the Sokovia Accords.

tetrafecta?

It was nearly 2 hours not 90 minutes. And holy crap I looked up Apatow's movies and at 116 minutes, the same length as Ghostbusters, 40-year-old Virgin is Apatow's shortest movie!

Only three for a bingo? I guess I shouldn't be surprised the MRA card is privileged with more than one free space.

I feel like you could make a metal documentary similar to the Big Short about bands repackaging and renaming the same thing over and over. Does each verse in a song represent its own genre yet?

Such and amazing outfit.

When they pitted the Sparrow against Oleanna this did come up but the Sparrow deflected it by saying the people wouldn't need food if they have faith or something. Instead of wrapping "we'll find out dumbass" in a clever jab Oleanna was cowed by the Sparrow's supposedly unassailable position. Between the Sparrow,…

That's if his Blackfish story isn't already a lie.

They hate blood magic but they love fire magic.

With Varys' ability to acquire information as far away as Essos he is clearly capable of taking care of his spies from afar. I don't know why he is now unable to care for his birds just because he isn't in King's Landing.

She did burn some hair though, she just couldn't help herself.

Roose should have had the Maester speak to him in private. The child's sex was important information and I assumed Roose would have wanted to keep it for himself.
