There’s an episode where Luanne joins a cult without really understanding what their beliefs are (she just likes that everyone there is nice to her) so I would definitely buy that if anyone in the cast would go MAGA, it would be her (but she’d be back to normal by the end of the episode.)

“Anything could be Star Wars” sounds like a really liberating pitch, honestly. With an entire galaxy to play around in, you could tell almost any kind of story. Just put in some familiar aliens or some references to the Force or the Empire or whatever. You don’t need more than that.

Star Wars has its own section at Disneyland.

I feel like the article didn’t articulate itself well in defining “moving forward.” Even though Strange New Worlds takes place in the past and features Yet Another Spock, it feels new because of how it’s written and staged, and because it’s willing to experiment with story types that previous shows haven’t attempted.…

You think Kirk singing is new? He sang with Spock and McCoy in Star Trek V.

Dale was the standout character in a show full of standout characters, somehow the most cartoony member of the cast without ever feeling so over the top that he didn’t fit into King of the Hill’s down to Earth style. Hardwick always seemed to know just how far to push a Dale joke to make him seem ridiculous but never…

Good to see reviews branching out more and covering some of the more esoteric animated stuff on Netflix. Too bad this particular show turned out this way.

Really stretching the definition of “stars” here, aren’t they?

Just because Superman is a rookie hero in the movie doesn’t mean Lois has to be a rookie reporter.

I thought it was refreshing that they figured it out so fast. It makes sense that the average citizen isn’t going to figure out that Superman is Clark Kent (because none of them have even heard of Clark Kent) but Clark’s two best friends? Who are around him all the time, and who are both investigative reporters? And…

There’s this thing called consent, and it has nothing to do with these imaginary “neo-luddites” who are so often fretted about by people who don’t understand what the word luddite means.

Bud Light and M&M’s and Mr. Potato Head and Aunt Jemima and Disney and Colin Kapernik and Costa Coffee and the Barbie Movie and Every Single Book Ever Written About LGBT People and I could go on for HOURS.

HULK SERVE!

Too early to tell if TMNT will be a hit, as it has actually made more money each day it’s been out thanks to very strong word of mouth. This summer we’ve seen multiple animated films with strong staying power due to the same reason (like Spiderverse and even Elemental) so Turtles has a good shot of enjoying that same…

And it’s so impressive the way he took an almost completely silent character who could barely move, then reinvented him as a highly verbal, expressive man on Better Call Saul, without either version ever feeling contradictory.

HULK ORGANIZE PRIDE PARADE! HULK SMASH BATHROOM LAWS!

Commissioner Gordon: Batman! The Joker is robbing the fireworks factory!

Black Adam has never been very popular as a solo hero character, but he’s somewhat popular as a supporting character with a complicated moral code. He’s Shazam’s archenemy, originally created with the simple premise of “what if Shazam was a bad guy” (he has the same powers and his costume is just Shazam’s costume in…
