Wild. I played a bit of it during the last open beta, and I thought it was fun. Didn’t have any issues with it other than the usual Battlefield whackiness. What happened?

I thought it’s…I mean, it’s an Elseworld’s story. What more are we looking for here in this specific story? And it already changed a pretty big thing early on. I’m giving it a few more issues before deciding it’s a wash. Taylor’s earned enough goodwill for that.

Speaking of, the latest Black Cat book that Marvel’s run is the best Catwoman book in ages. It’s all heists, all the time. It rules.

I liked Shang-Chi.

It’s a shame that the drama surrounding the song is overshadowing how cool this performance was. It was a marathon performance and she kind of nailed it. I’d love for her to host soon. She and Ariana Grande are a few of the A-list singers who I think are more than capable of pulling double duty 

(I’ll add that Taylor’s marathon performance was great, and so was her appearance in the PDD short. I’d love to see her host soon.)

Also, god damn it, I hate this website’s layout. The ad makes it impossible to read the content. How does it only seem to get worse with time, y’all? You’re doing a disservice to the writers, editors, readers, and commenters.

A few thoughts:

Don’t know how this show does it, but they’re able to come up with new takes on uniquely hate-able (rich) dipshits almost every episode. What a talent! They all suck but in unique and realistically horrible ways. 

Seriously, all I saw while Madden was on the screen was Jason Blood. He would be so good in that role.

You know, I liked it. I liked the scenes with the Eternals throughout the years. I liked the modern stuff. Didn’t love the action sequences, or the weird thin gold effects. Those were weak. I thought the final act was strong. I was most excited by the final scene and the two post-credits sequences.

Ahh, this I did not know. 

Why should I read the comments first? Because folks are already talking about what I wanted to talk about.

How long until the Joe Schmo Show sees its rightful return?

Zhao’s a fantastic director, and I think she’d have succeeded if she’d been allowed to focus on a singular hero/property. Something closer to street-level. Eternals is seemingly world-changing and huge in scope, right? 

Zhao’s naturalistic color palette goes to mud.

I dunno. The boxes being in his office screams plant to me. Like, why would Kendall just leave the boxes there? He’s dense but not that dense.  

Yeah, people were mean and weird. Like, “oh no! I am so distracted that this person is on this show!” But other famous people were on the show before in other cameos. Sigur Ros, the National, etc. His part was fine and he did a fine job. 

The Psych movies are why I got it. But Girls5eva and Rutherford Falls are both solid/fun shows.
