Mediocre critique for a mediocre movie tbh.

It’s not really their best, but it had some decent observations. Though for the most part, it honestly felt like Mike was seriously struggling to come up with any genuinely interesting takes because a) the movie isn’t bad enough to disect and b) every other hack fraud beat…

So if she says no, it’s rape and if she says yes, it’s also rape because Aziz Ansari (the least threatening 5'6" 130lbs bloke in the world) would murder the shit out of her otherwise. We’ve literally hit “the implication” levels of insanity.

How’s this for a hot take on what happened, based on factual information:

Dude…

“Most of the fans of the classic series are driven into a frothing, murderous rage by the thought that lots of young women like the series now—young women who have the temerity to be sexually unavailable, no less!”

I’m surprised they have any opinions on anything, being made of straw and all that.

A lot of fans might see it as a potential jump the shark moment, but I wouldn’t go as far as dropping the m-word.

“Later in that episode, after the party, when Camille and Amma are drunk and high in the front yard, Camille says something that pleases Amma and Amma — in her euphoric passion — lunges toward Camille to hug her, but does it with such force that Camille is tackled to the ground, hard. Adora doesn’t have the…

Yeah I don’t really get it.

They:
1) Explicitly set up for it to be Amma at first.
2) Then, they go out of their way to have a handful of characters explicitly estabilish that those teeth would have been too hard to pull out for a woman, let alone a thirteen year old girl.
3) Lean towards, maybe Alan or the Chief.
4)…

Calling bollocks on that, frankly. Sounds like either haven’t hung out in that many comic book communities, haven’t read a lot of modern comics, or get most of your news from people with an axe to grind against nerd communities and just like to blog about whatever minor controversy pops up.

Incredibly, incredibly, almost impossibly unlikely.

Bond movies get good directors who have like one or two good movies under their belt to showcase their talent, but for whom the prestige of working on a Bond film would be considered a significant leg-up in terms of their overall reputations and careers.

Nolan could…

It’s not some great pop culture behemoth nor that exceptional, but bear in mind the original Futurama ran from 1999-2004 (then 08-09 for the movies and 11-13 for the last two seasons), vastly predating the vast majority of “Golden Age of TV” and what are commonly considered modern comedy GOATs.

In that particular…

The fact they accepted Mulan and later cross-dressed is kinda of the cinematic shorthand for that.

I don’t think it’s really relevant whether they turned into full-on Ancient Chinese Male Feminists or still remained sexist, but less so. What matters is that meeting Mulan challenged their boorish sensibilities and…

You know that Kevin Smith screenwriting style where everyone just kinda awkwardly stands there and talks for ages and it’s supposed to be like those casual slacker conversations, but it just feels weirdly paced and stilted because real human beings don’t really talk the way Kevin Smith writes dialogue and it’s…

Seems highly unlikely it’ll be in any way connected to CW, since the series is stylistically and conceptually far more on par with Legion.

Actually come to think of it, Legion really does feel like a spiritual sequel to Doom Patrol a lot of the time.

Man, I’ve dived into Doom Patrol before in order to bump up my comic book nerd cred and pretty much decided either I need to do a lot more drugs or Grant Morrison needs to do ever so slightly less.

Dogma is pretty good if incredibly KevinSmith-y and Clerks is kind of an indie classic, but yeah Kevin Smith’s career as a whole kinda petered out two decades ago and he’s been pretty much just been coasting on his “oh jolly gee I’m just this humble fat nerdy dude in big mean Hollywood showbiz” persona since.

Dude’s…

That’s the dumbest excuse.

The overwhelming majority of the supposed “bad shit” that makes it through the greys is at worst someone being skeptical about some given article soapboxing too much.

Bear in mind that in between magic and wacky superscience, death is relatively cheap on this show (whenever it’s not given proper gravitas, anyway).

Both of them could be back eventually and the chekov’s remains are still there, but I think it actually makes sense to put them in the fridge for the time being as having…

It was a relatively common theory based on that one episode with the Villain’s Nightclub in Season 5 where Vendata says some ominous things after Brock knocks him out, but no one expected them to bring it back to this degree.

CW Superhero casts are nothing to scoff at, and generally far better than the writers of those shows deserve. Also, magnitudes better than Ruby Rose.

Ah yes, the Jews. Truly the most underrepresented minority in Hollywood.

I agree, but I feel as though you’re overselling the “failure” theme of the series a little bit.

All the characters on this show are at their base really quite competent, it’s their own personal bullshit that turns them into failures. Rusty fundamentally wouldn’t be the same character if he was genuinely *bad* at…
