Here’s an amazing looking indie game, and now we won’t even mention its name in the title because we’d rather hate on Sonic Frontiers than celebrate indies. Great stuff.

Not many threads left, then. 

In this case, the whole point of Hot Fuzz *is* that discourse. The whole idea of “quiet beauty” (Village of the Year!) built on a fundament of intolerance is pretty core, and Wright definitely knew that. 

It just wasn’t particularly funny and went on for extremely long. This season has gone for the “lol dicks, rofl sex” well a little too often. 

So Jan was responsible for the vampire court’s case where a bunch of vampires exited a camper one after the other (and burned to death), right? It was the exact same gag here.

To add to the various good arguments for not whitewashing history by removing the xenophobia (not to mention telling Japanese developers what to do about their own discrimination), there’s also the narrative aspect: the protagonists are in way over their head, in a different culture in a profession they barely know.…

I posted something similar above, I had the same feeling. It’s a strange balance, because some episodes feel like they’re just characters talking exposition to each other (episode 3 was particularly bad with this), but then a lot of character growth is skipped. Mobius’s trust is one, but also the other Lokis of this…

Agreed - this episode was good fun, but had the opposite problem of the rest of the season: it felt rushed. Why does our Loki know how to take on an Alioth after being in this world for three minutes, and why haven’t the other Lokis ever thought of doing that? Did Richard E. Grant really need to get one monologue and…

Why were the other Lokis shocked at hearing there was a “female” Loki? Here’s a world with young, old, black, white, presidential, and alligator Lokis, but somehow being born a girl is rare? Not to mention they sure made it a fun point that Loki is listed as “genderfluid” on his TVA profile, only for them to…

It’s really discouraging seeing “you suck and your comment is too long” as the most upvoted reply in this thread, honestly. 

Man, is this what the AV Club comment section has become? 

Sure, but my main issue is that the show constantly has Loki reflect and repent (and Mobius constantly probe him on how lonely/evil/flawed/petty/narcissistic he is) without actually ever showing him being exactly that. There’s a lot of telling and very little showing. 

It’s fair enough for what’s a pretty generally frustrating show, really. It has so much: great visuals, very fun concept in the timekeepers, fantastic cast. It’s just the writing that lets it down, between weird plotting and extremely hackneyed dialogue. Owen Wilson in particular has been able to sell some extreme…

I wonder if that’s *really* necessary for those new viewers. I’m not particularly into Marvel stuff, but I feel like this show could have worked fine if you just establish the main characters very strongly and the endless backstory is mostly just implied. There’s only six episodes and so far we’ve spent around one and…

That’s so much of a platitude no-one can possibly disagree - my problem isn’t that there’s character development and interaction (who exactly would oppose that? I didn’t). It’s that this character development is done in an extremely clunky way, where characters just literally tell each other their backstory. “Some of…

Why does every Marvel show have to have an episode like this, one that’s just doing exposition at the camera? If there’s anything to improve on these shows, it’s the writers’ assumption their audience is really dumb. It dragged down WandaVision, it dragged down Falcon & Winter Soldier, and it dragged down this.

This is something I wondered about: these people aren’t human, but why do they look like humans? (Except for the obvious “it’s easier on the budget”?)

I noticed that too, but I think that was intentional. It was pretty charming.

Huh, my first thought of Jean Smart isn’t “hilarious” - I saw her recently in Fargo, Watchmen, and Legion, which can be funny shows, but her characters in all three are pretty serious. She’s the funniest I can remember in *this* happy-go-lucky show.
