It is really quite below average, but don’t let its poor quality fool you, the writers on this site had their knives out from the very second it was announced the show wasn’t going to radically re-invent it’s own premise by casting an Asian lead.

Oh blow it out of your ass, literally no one has read the books and the movies didn’t really start leaning into this deconstructive book-like take on Bond until Casino Royale - four decades after the franchise began.

“...her resume is probably better than most of the other CW superhero leads when their shows started.”

That is laughably untrue.

Between Melissa Benoist, Grant Gustin, Arthur Darvill (and the general ensemble), Stephen Amell, and Cress Williams, Amell is probably the weakest link here (because Arrow was the first one…

His problem has always been medicated, it just gave him breasts as a side effect. I haven’t actually noticed if the tits are gone, but it’s possible OSI have set him up with improved meds.

It’s nice to think, but I’m pretty sure Rusty quit cloning because a) it’s one of the only few illegal taboo disciplines in the setting, b) the clones are fairly impractical and can only be grown in real time, and c) Hank and Dean backups were the extent to which he could keep his illegal operation under wraps and now…

“...imagine being a young, burgeoning comedy fan, coming across this “joke” and finding out that the guy who made it was part of the most critically acclaimed comedy troupe of the boomer generation. Way to make those six Oxbridge men feel like no big loss, Terry.”

I know “I’ll identify as a black disabled trans…

This tbh, Tracer is already such an annoyingly overexposed mascot of Overwatch and basically the most boring choice out of the entire cast.

Ehhhh. Is it not possible to be pro-diversity while also thinking this is an incredibly lame example of going about it?

I’m really not one to write angry paragraphs because a random fictional character was revealed to be LGBT, but “Oh I’m a LESBIAN btw but I’d totally have sex with the beefcake main character if only I…

Whataboutism is a specific method of deflection to excuse ones wrongdoing, not a get out of jail free card whenever someone points out a hypocrisy. No one, the show included, is arguing that David did a good thing, or even a right then, let alone implied that Syd “deserved it”.
 
Yet at the same time, “My girlfriend…

Depends on the country/culture tbh. It varies.

Outside of the greater historical context, I’m a bit of a proponent of “tasteful” blackface like, say, in Tropic Thunder where RDJ in blackface was mocking method acting/blackface/Hollywood casting itself rather than come with any genuinely racist intent.

So is the vast majority of behind-the-scenes wrestling, which has kind of become the new meta-kafaybe. It’s still fun though.

For what it’s worth, rap beefs are an integral part of the culture and people literally died over them in the past.

Nothing particularly.

You what, mate?

That’s like the one thing I REALLY don’t get. Everyone wants to crucify it, but Discovery might be just about the only Star Trek series in history that doesn’t take 30ish episodes to become objectively good.

Del Toro isn’t overrated, and certainly not up to Tim Burton standards. Tim Burton will go down as one the most iconic directors out there, in spite of the fact he hasn’t made a truly iconic film in the past two decades.

Del Toro’s biggest problem is that he’s too consistent in terms of his strengths and weaknesses -…

It does a great job of clearing the admittedly low bar of being a good DCU flick and is a really nice change of pace in terms of being a “serious” film relative to MCU basically rehashing the same movie formula for like five years now.

That aside, get all this superhero shit as far away from my Oscars…

Uh oh here come the Mickey apologists again.

Oh give me a bloody break, Gus is an obnoxious “NiceGuyTM” with zero self-awareness, but Mickey is like a straight-up enormous piece of shit. There’s a very good argument to be made for Gus being just about the best version of a guy she could feasibly manage a “healthy”…

Sorry, just saw this comment almost a month later. I was kidding about Allan McLeod’s ugliness.

With Mickey I was referencing Love which is like a more grounded and depressing version of You’re The Worst, but there’s a very annoying and very vocal portion of the community that really likes to give Paul Rust shit over…

Is Cam even that much of a pansy? It’s obviously a problem if every or most representations of X character in the media is the same stereotype, but I kinda object to the blanket “stereotypes are BAD, therefore we must always subvert them” mentality.
