Maybe its just me, but as a kid in the 80s, every movie I saw in the theater was great.  Kids like everything.   I saw Willow in the theaters when I was ten and loved it.  To be honest, 42 year old me still sorta loves it for how silly it is

There’s an excellent play called “The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity” by Kristoffer Diaz that deals a lot with POC wrestlers wrestling with the offensive stereotypes they are playing in the ring in a RAW era wrestling organization. I would’ve loved to see GLOW do something similar.

Indeed. There’s a good amount of satire to GLOW (and wrestling in general) and I might even argue the show covered how they feel about their stereotypes more than it even needed to. GLOW never really got into kayfaybe that much, but so many real life stars played their part in and out of the ring, because it was…

Yeah, with Arthie/Beirut, specifically, it was like a couple of scenes of people throwing things at her, her going “umm, this is really fucked up, maybe I can play a different character?” and then...it’s never really brought up again and they move on to her relationship with Yolanda. I’d say Tammé/Welfare Queen, at…

I think Glow was asking a lot of its writers in terms of good representation. It did a whole lot right (it’s definitely a show written with feminism in mind) and mis-stepped or didn’t go deep enough on issues of race and class. I think if it ran longer it would find the time to go deeper on ALL these sensitive topics,…

I’m confused. I’ll be honest, I only ever saw the first one, which I thought was pretty good. So he directed the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th ones and that’s what turned it into a good franchise?

Assuming they shoot these back to back like Avengers and Pirates 2&3, let’s go all out with this.

turned this series from a joke to a legitimate blockbuster franchise

I don’t disagree with the stuff in the letter, but I also don’t think it really had a bearing on the cancellation. The season was finished being written and filming had started. This was pandemic driven. If it had happened in advance of season 4 with no covid, it might be more suspect.

I am very aware of that, I remember the Junkyard Dog and the Iron Sheik, it’s theater for stupid people, still...this isn’t 1985. Don’t feed the animals. I think that there could have been an interesting storyline about justifiable contempt for the audience and how that affects a performer: Ruth wants to do high art,…

Whatever it takes to get Rose McIver back in a Power Rangers suit is fine by me.

I’m hoping this is where the reboot and shared universe is headed.

“Sir, this is an Arby’s.” 

I mean I get that, but they were B-arcs because... they were the B characters. Brie and Maron were the stars. I think definitely by season 4 there was room to explore the secondary characters a lot more, and there definitely should have been some no-white writers. But while it’s a large ensemble cast, season 1 was…

I definitely felt like the show was having its cake and eating it to some extent.  The Welfare Queen story started to delve into this but then kind of just backed off and said “it’s fine!” It didn’t really get into how she felt about that this was what the audience wanted, and that this diverse ensemble was…

Just gonna mention that the Power Rangers comics published by Boom Studios have already done a something similar with stuff like Shattered Grid.

The episode last season that focused on Jenny and Melrose on their camping trip and their respective family issues with genocide was amazing, the highlight of the season, easily

I was always wanting more Ellen Wong. The cast was just too big for a 30 minute show. 

I loved almost every second of GLOW, but the complaint that “the series hadn’t explored how these characters would feel about portraying wrestlers who played up racially offensive stereotypes” resonates. The show did deal with this in several episodes, but something so large feels like it deserves even more space. It…

I really liked this show, but my biggest complaint is that each episode should have been longer. Most half hour dramedies just don’t work, and they had such a deep bench of great actors that they could have expanded on each episode to highlight more of them. Just make each episode forty-five minutes.
