As a nerd who knows things about cons, I can tell you:

Except for in 1998 when Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer’s table

Yeah, but they've kind of settled into a groove of a 24 episode season actually being 2-3 connected mini-seasons. Those people know how to run a tight show.

Because M.O.D.O.K is designed for only one thing, and what the one thing is isn't very pretty.

Dead wife, dead wife, survives but isn't that notable, fine, dead girlfriend, dead wife

I'm not actually sure who this list is supposed to support.

WE HAVE TO GO BACK TO GET PAID FOR BEING IN HAWAII.

Same thing at this point.

This is my exact complaint for Clone Wars and Rebels as well. There's no artistic effort going into the animation here. Tartakovsky's Clone Wars was beautiful and rich, but I'm struggling to work up the give-a-fuck to watch the full series because it just feels like lifeless plastic-y CG.

Right. She did lose. She got captured. And not captured in a "this was all part of the plan muahaha now put me in the glass cage so I may taunt you until my brilliant plan unfurls" way. In a "gonna get tortured now" way. Obviously she escapes that whole deal, but she did still lose.

You just made me flip back and forth between pictures of Keira Knightly and Daisy Ridley for like ten minutes. I don't regret it.

Jesse summed it up really well in his send-off for AVC's coverage of I'm Dying Up Here:

I was gonna go with Greg Berlanti, but it's the same joke.

This is the acceptable one. Approved.

Someone pull the appropriate The A.V. Club quote from this for me, thanks.

Right, but that's the point of Max. Despite the title, Mad Max movies are not about Max (outside of the first). They're about the people around him, using him as a vehicle to get to their stories. Max is just the dude trying to get through their situation- he's not supposed to have a rich inner life.

A Good Day to Drive Baby

Yeah, that statement was basically Lena Dunham in analogy form.

I'm with you on the exhaustion. I loved it in Shaun and Hot Fuzz, but became hyper-aware of it when I watched The World's End and it actively took me out of the movie rather than improving it.
