Well, another season, another “experiment episode” that floors me. This is why I tune into this show every week. It’s capable of surprising me.

This is going to be so fuckin’ rad.

Brutal. I get that this is business, but ouch, how heartbreaking for Cavill, especially after the announcement in Oct. I really wanted Cavill to get his do-over.

Yeah, this game is another reminder that I really need to get myself a Steam Deck.

I’m sick of console wars. I don’t think they serve anyone but big corporations that don’t deserve our allegiances.

I just cannot fathom having that much fuck-you money and still being this much of a pathetic loser. If I had a 1/100th of his wealth, you’d never hear from me again.

I remember I first took notice of Hsu in Nora from Queens, the Awkafina show, wherein she played a friend of the grandmother, and then again is Maisel. She’s very, very funny, and exceedingly talented. I knew as much going in but oh man, her turn in this as Jobu was everything I liked about her previous performances…

• McElhenney rules at playing straight man to Nicdao, who has become so weird this season. One of the biggest laughs of the night was a single shot of Poppy staring off into the middle distance.

Mario’s characterization seems right. He’s a dude. An average guy. Going with the flow. And he’s helpful. As far as the voice, it’s got that energy, and I don’t know that I’d need it to be anything else.

By completing the Path of Legends quest, your motorbike Pokémon will be able to scale cliffs. So be sure to finish gathering all of the herbs from the five Titan Pokémon before attempting this trick.

Casting Diana is, IMO, trickier than casting for Bruce Wayne. You need to find someone who is simultaneously fierce and powerful but kind and genuine. The kind of person who will equally offer a villain an open hand in friendship and peace as they will a sword through the face. Gadot was able to embody that really…

Yeah, Cavill is just so good at emitting a Superman-like quality even at his most dour that it would be a shame not to give him a shot at playing the real guy. When Snyder gave him even a semblance of levity, you could see it.

Seems to me that the best bet is to treat it like the comics does: keep the stuff that works, reset the rest. The Snyderverse was the New 52, at best. It was a money-making but ultimately flawed experiment. So, a DC: Rebirth approach is probably the smart thing at this point. Snyder’s starting point poisoned the well…

MAnnnn, the first season was a surprise treat during a dark, dark, dark time. Can’t wait for this new season.

Really interested to see how this franchise lasts in the public consciousness now that it’s seemingly back in force.

Yeah, this feels right. Feels more accurate to what it actually is. Do I think it could be even better? Of course. Heritage/ancestry, like mentioned below, adds a nicer wrinkle to it. But you can’t gamify everything, I know, and so this will do. It’s how I, as a DM, have always portrayed the different “races” in the…

They still haven’t revealed why Mario is summoned to a world he’s never been, which is weird, but that’s its own thing.

This looks pretty fun. Bright & shiny & jam-packed with references. What more did anyone want, really?

This show’s such a gem.

Marvel, please let Coogler get his hands on directing Doom. As a feature, or as a featured player in the next one.
