I have no numbers on-hand. I was born in 1991. I'd venture a guess that a lot of people that read AV Club are aged <35.

People who were 20-40 when the prequels came out generally don't frequent this site.

It also compared Episode 2's bloated CGI mess of an action set-piece to Mad Max: Fury Road.

I'm 24 and I enjoyed the prequels when I was a kid. I've grown up and come to dislike them. Again, anecdotal evidence, but most people my age don't like those movies. If you want to get statistical, I'm sure the AV club skews millennial in readership.

Kids like lots of bad shit. They'll come around.

The prequels are bad movies. There's really no way to rationalize your way around that. I was about 9 years old when Phantom Menace was released. I was fresh off my first viewing of the OT and was hot on the Star Wars franchise. I am the ideal demographic for that movie and its subsequent prequels (the trilogy would…

Honestly general is something of a low rank for what I'd expect from her at this point. With her political prowess she should be something of a Mon Matha figure, rather than a general. Especially since I'm not sure she ever really showed much prowess in terms of battle command.

HA! Well. I'll have to research my next snarky comment a little better. Very sorry, AV Club comments section.

Man, remember all these similar articles posted by this site when Hillary hosted last month?

Hi /tv/

There's only 7 days left before the next episode. How many more articles can we have about [REDACTED]'s death? I have a feeling the AV club will work their hardest to solve this mystery!

Game fandom has grown beyond the narrow scope of what it once was and now encompasses lots of larger cohorts that more-or-less have nothing in common. A guy who builds his own LED powered rig to play obscure "hardcore games" for 5-10 hours a day is a different category entirely from a middle-aged woman playing an…

Don't really understand Audition being ranked #1. There are certainly better films on this list. While I can appreciate the bizarre psychological trip it takes at the end with the parade of surreal dream sequences, ultimately the horror boiled down to Saw-esque torture porn grotesqueness, something that I don't think…

Well, the aesthetic of Halo 1 borrowed heavily from Aliens. So a director with those sensibilities isn't the worst idea.

I don't even think District 9 is good.

I'm happy that the AV club has devoted several articles to calling out this travesty as we know that the Walking Dead is a beacon of narrative integrity and stunts like this just won't stand.

Meanwhile: Hannibal remains dead

Not really. Adaptation isn't straight copying, some changes are inevitable. Even if Kubrick's the Shining isn't exactly like what King created, it is a masterpiece of film-making and was born with at least some strands of DNA from King's original vision. As an artist, seeing what you've created be warped and changed…

No but it is easily inferred from the information we have. The moment Wendy finds the pages the music swells; it is obvious that this moment is an inflection point of horror, for both the character and audience. If he was writing like that just because he was lazy, it wouldn't be so. The strong implication is that he…

Who needs the rage virus when you've got people calling 28 Weeks Later "arguably better" than the original?
