Well, both that part and Babe felt like Potential-Dollys to me. Like, things they wrote with the idea maybe Dolly could be the characters, and when it didn't pan out, they went a different way with it.

That's what I'm talking about. I feel like that character was written with Dolly in mind.

As much as I love superhero stories, there's no doubt that the fundamentals of the superhero tale is Altruistic Libertarian vs. Fascist Cult.

What I liked best in the Joy and Howard scene was the clever use of dialogue and Howard being "honest". Because she asks him to look her in the eye and swear he didn't "have Lawrence killed". So he can honestly say, no, I didn't *have him killed*.

I swear that Coyote's birth mom was written for Dolly.

They've got a huge backlist of patents that keeps mad cash flowing in.

No.
It's okay to eat parademons because they're high in the "good cholesterols" and low in carbohydrates.

"You're in a… oh, god, is this torture porn? No, no, let's just wake up now."

I was pretty pleased with Vespaio's (on South Congress), though it does make the interesting choice of poaching the egg.

It's less about origin of "How did he become The Iron Fist" and more the origin of What Is He Going to Do, In Being The Iron Fist?

In first season Daredevil, Madame Gao was first presented as just the head of the Chinese Mafia, someone Fisk expected to be under his thumb like the other organized crime bosses he was working with. Then near the end she's all, "Oh, you thought I was just some heroin peddler you could scare? That's adorable."

A big reason why that Liam Neeson scene fails— and why A Lot Of Cuts tends to fail, is that it creates the impression that you're using the cuts to hide the fact that your actors can't handle the physicality. Longer takes aren't necessarily better, but they give a stronger sense that the actor (an thus, by extension,…

Most of the movie is weak, but DAMN if that sequence isn't some of the best Batmaning committed to film.

I think we're talking cross-purposes. I was talking about how, while the Norton Hulk movie is part of the MCU, it's often glossed over or forgotten about as being within in the universe.
