I prefer that the Night King kills all of the named characters (who haven’t already been killed) and becomes the King of Westros ushering in a new golden age without a bunch of blood thirsty idiots fighting over the iron throne

It made money?

Denise thinks the AV Club is a “respectible” media outlet. snicker.

Never underestimate the powers of mysogeny and stupid. The money people are mostly dudes and mostly not-too-bright. Which is why we get the same damn movies over and over again. Why take a chance? Just hire Zach Snyder to make a bunch of explosions.

And give that person a big payday.

In all seriousness, they better bring back whomever did the score. The score was a big part of why the action bits worked so well. So propulsive.

Since Wonder Woman was awesome and Man of Steel was meh (both creatively and profit-wise), shouldn’t she be paid MORE than Zach Snyder?

Thanks for reminding me. Reading that book was a bit of a shock, to say the least.

It might be possible to do it with something that is…

Like the “chaos theory means that complex systems always fail” bullshit.

frog DNA was just a maguffin to allow for the big surprise.

Since he was also a Luddite and climate change denier, I wouldn’t trust his opinion on pretty much anything.

Yes, I had arguments with people who thought “scientists will be doing this really soon” (they’re not) after the book came out and then again after the film. I’m trained as an evolutionary ecologist and my wife is a professor of molecular evolutionary genetics, yet people were CERTAIN we didn’t understand the…

Don’t short change the suburban nazis.  I bet there are more nazis in suburban Pennsylvania than there are in, say, rural Texas.

Exactly, with the drug-induced hallucinations you never quite know whether the things Cohle is detecting are real or not. I thought that including the suggestion of supernatural weirdness and then subverting it was brilliant. We don’t actually need supernatural creatures to make the world a horrible place, we do fine…
