I think I’m more surprised by the people who thought Jaime was going to get his redemption. The dude pushed a kid out the window, and whether Moon Unit Stark cares about it or not anymore is irrelevant in light of the narrative requirements of punishment. Besides, of course the incestuous twin is going to die in the…

Yeah, while I don’t think the voice work in Advent Children was particularly flattering either, this was a little too Amos ‘n Andy for my comfort.

This is a very good point. While it’s probably most prevalent with guys, I think for humans in general, we have a real cultural opposition to the idea of reassessing our situation once we’re in it. The idea that actual exposure to something may allow us to realize it’s not working or what we want or good for us is…

“Other people I’ve talked to have been like, ‘I know what I’m working on, I know what I’ve gotten myself into here.’ And you start to blame yourself for being shitty or weak or spineless.”

“We have such Martha’s to show you.”

I don’t dislike Pratt, and he certainly avails himself well for the kind of character Quill is, but Gamora ever giving him the time of day never made sense to me. Giving anyone the time of day, really. 

Star Lord had her profile up on the ship’s screen as everyone was getting ready to take off. It read something like “not found” or “unknown”. At the very least, not “dead”. So it wouldn’t surprise me if that’s a big part of the next film.

I think there would be worthwhile ways to make either the Night King or Cersei the ultimate conflict. The show chose this one and I am interested in how the repercussions of this battle will shape the final war againt King’s Landing. It’s a creative decision, but not a bad one just because it could have been different.

It’s sad that really is the full extent of the rhetoric. I like hearing differing opinions on culture, but not when they’re so useless and blatant reactionary garbage.

I shouldn’t be surprised by the people bothered by Arya, and yet here I am. Her sole character arc has been murder. That’s it. Killing, erasing, slaying, destroying, making deader. That’s it. Who better?

Zut Alors! Le Chapardeur-Poutine is on the loose! 

Even though Sam inexplicably emerged intact from that zombie pile, I did like that moment as an indicator of being at the point in the battle where there’s no energy or space for heroics. Just exhaustion and resignation. 

The dagger she used was Valyrian steel. I can’t remember who gifted it to her, but she got it a few seasons ago.

The most heretical statement I will ever make is that after years of judicious sampling, I have concluded that the Reese’s white chocolate eggs are in fact superior to the regular kind. I don’t expect everyone to feel this way, though I am certain some do. But give ‘em a try sometime. At the very least, they offer a…

The effects really were the best part of this movie. Which is conventionally the kind of statement a person makes when they want to dismiss a film as dumb and good for little other than whiz-bang spectacle, but that’s gotten a bit more complicated now that special effects have become sophisticated enough that they…

Fair enough. I still think a Marshal Law adaption could be enjoyably bonkers.

It’s very violent and dark, but the satire has more teeth. And O’Neill’s art is fantastic.

I’ll admit that I haven’t read The Boys, and my reaction is just going off of the preview here. Though I am familiar with Ennis’ work in general.

All these years of superheroes maybe not being so super after all projects, and no one’s ever done Marshal Law. Which is a damn shame because that one actually brushed up against a concept slightly more substantial than just “people with superpowers would be jerks”.

I plan to do both, thankyouverymuch.
