Been binging the Vox Machina campaign since the pandemic started. I’m on episode 75, and it’s been a huuuuuge comfort to me. It’s been nice to have something to listen to and watch while I’m stuck working from home, and I’m more emotionally invested than I thought. (I was so happy whenever Vex and Percy had any moment…

And we’re dancing!

It was wonderful hearing those poor Japanese VAs speak English.

True, true. But I think unlike Furiosa, you can sort of understand why Max starts out alone: he doesn’t have or want people. He could’ve stayed with Furiosa and the others, but he chose not to. He could’ve stayed with pretty much any of his companions from previous films but chose not to. His characterization, at this…

Anya Taylor-Joy’s a solid pick for a young Furiosa, and I’ll watch anything Miller directs. So, sure, I’m in. Do I wish we’d see more of Hardy’s Max instead? Yeah, he was underrated. Dude was fantastic in the role, but he was probably rightful outshined by Furiosa, the lead of that movie. But c’mon, Mad Max: Fury Road…

Eh, a Furiosa sequel doesn’t have too many places to go, does it? At the end of Fury Road she literally ascended. We would either see her as a ruler in a city under siege which robs Fury Road of its triumphant ending, or it goes like Miller himself thinks that it will and we see Furiosa as a benevolent tyrant, which…

She’s really funny.

I’m a coma seasons defender, for the most part. I thought Dreamland was an interesting experiment that mostly worked. Danger Island was fun. I ended up missing 1999, though.

The myth of American and boot-strap individualism has created a whole population of egotistical, self-interested monsters.

It’s insanity that our government was so incompetent, so cruel that this was allowed to get as bad as it is. We knew as early as January how bad this virus could be when stories were coming out of China, and our government did nothing to prepare us. I heard reports from China about the rising death toll, how bad it…

It’s going to be a hell of a burden on these young creators to pull BA back from the hole it dug itself into, and I don’t know whether Condé Nast deserves the talent they were blessed with. I don’t envy the new hosts, but I wish them the best, I suppose. The brand’s unfortunately tainted for me.

Karen Fukuhara’s having a well-deserved moment. Kipo, She-Ra, and The Boys. 

Adore this show. Am I said that it’s ending? Yes. Am I excited to see where it goes? Absolutely. Can’t wait to cry while listening to What We Have is You again.

So why then panic and freak out about the reveal of her true origin?

I know I can roll my eyes at Alan Moore’s recent takes on superhero works—see the article adjacent this one—but god damn, the man’s Green Lantern concepts are some of the best ever put to page.

No Jon or Kyle. :(
