Thanks for putting this so well. One thing that really stands out about Gaston: his villain song. Almost every villain song is of course sung by the villain, but Gaston’s is mostly sung by OTHER PEOPLE. Gaston gets a little bit in the middle (mostly about how many eggs he eats) but for the most part, it’s the entire…

I’m starting to suspect that the AV Club isn’t aware that this film exists.

This idiot took 8 minutes to explain that stupid “Soft times create weak men” meme, which is an utterly ridiculous theory of history by itself, but is also such a shallow idea that taking that four-sentence meme and expanding it to a lecture adds absolutely nothing to it.

I think we’re not supposed to side with Elsa at this point. The song shows that she has understandable motives and very human frustrations, but she’s dealing with them in the wrong way. At this point, she’s set herself up as a bad guy and Anna is the hero on a quest to stop her. Heck, he whole reason why there are two…

Isn’t Let It Go a villain song, though? Elsa is definitely the antagonist at that point in the movie (this is before we find out Hans is the true villain) and there’s absolutely a sinister touch to how she sings “the cold never bothered me, anyway.” Isolated from its context, the song does sound like a triumphant anthe…

100 slideshows of Disney.

I know it’s pretty standard to ignore Disney’s TV division at this point, but come on. No Darkwing Duck? No Goliath? No Eda Clawthorne? NO GRUNKLE STAN? It’s amazing how Disney TV Animation has been plugging away for 40 years now, telling some of the company’s best stories, and even diehard Disney fans seem to…

Sounds like the developers were just too lazy to implement consequences for the players’ actions which fit the setting. Instead they have a designer give one of the cheapest responses I’ve ever seen about “role-playing” as though the entire point of role playing wasn’t that your choices have consequences.

The person who said that has never played a role playing game in their life.

There are tons of franchises with good-to-decent people in charge of them. The problem is that “creator of TV show is actually a pretty nice person” is not an interesting news story, so anytime you hear something about the character of a creative person, it’s negative.

It’s been five years since Roiland had a writing credit on the show (his last episode was “Morty’s Mindblowers” from season 3) so I don’t think he was contributing to the creative side of things all that much anymore, aside from ad-libbing dialogue.

“Aw geez, Rick, this cancel culture stuff sure is out of control these days, huh? It’s getting so you can’t even beat and imprison a woman anymore. Like you used to, you used to uh, you know you used to be able to hit on 13 year old girls on the internet and no one made a big deal about it. And these days? Everyone…

Sony doesn’t have the legal right to prevent Spidey from appearing on other platforms, but I think they recognize that people connect him with the Playstation to an extent, so they made financial offers to the publishers of various Marvel games to keep that brand association going. Looks like only Square-Enix took the…

They put all the effort into him one would expect from a character who 2/3rds of the playerbase can’t even use.

This list sounds like someone made it up, especially given that Winter Soldier and Black Panther have been in the game for months, and Hulkbuster isn’t a character at all (it’s a special armor for Iron Man, which he can already use in the game.)

There were three Marvel movies this year and together they made $2.5 billion. The lowest-grossing of the bunch still ended up with the 8th biggest box office of the year.

Man, the Scooby animators really just weren’t feeling it that day, huh?

If they don’t even have to be Disney movies, then let’s just go ham. The best Disney movie of all time is Goodfellas. Remember the scene where Joe Pesci walks into a room thinking he’s about to become a made man, and instead a dude just shoots him dead as payback for something he did in the first act that he’d…

“My work is done here” said Hastings after cancelling every Netflix show that wasn’t Big Mouth or Stranger Things. “Now I’m off to find new frontiers to cancel. Legend says that somewhere out there, they’re working on the greatest TV show of all time. A program of such unbelievable quality that grown men will weep at…

Oops we spent too much money buying video game studios and forgot to make that money back by selling video games. Guess we’ll just have to fire everybody at the studios we just bought. The industry is so lucky to have us.
