I'm 45 and to my recollection, I never heard 'it is what it is' used as a casual meme until the mid-aughts. The phrase certainly existed before then (Deniro's 'Jimmy Conaway' in 'Goodfellas' telling Henry that comes to mind) but VERY rarely was it used as far as I can remember.

I completely felt the same way. Danny Rand felt more like Danny….'also-RAN…..???? '

"In the premiere, Danny made a reference to not really knowing how to drive, but now he’s just casually zipping around New York in his new Aston Martin."

Same here.

Hmm…I'll have to check it out.

The late sports analyst Jimmy 'The Greek' made similar comments in the Eighties about black stuff and "super human" strength. It ended his career.

I dig the kinetic and hard-hitting fight scenes but does Peggy EVER even SLIGHTLY bruise or even as much get cut? In the last fight scene (episode 2) she catches a square punch to the face and not only is her face PRISTINE afterwards but the fake glasses she wore miraculously stay on??

Anyone feel any 'Moon Knight' vibe coming from Claire's hooded 'disguise' on the rooftop with Matt?

And there, folks is the most on point and succinct review of 'Man Of Steel' I've read yet.

Not at the end of a drunken, effed-up, surreal night in NYC it isn't.
