For me, as a child, realizing that the Snorks were just the Smurfs meets Archie underwater was the first step toward realizing that the Tiger Sharks were just the Thundercats meets the Silverhawks underwater.

The plural of "Smurf" is "more than one Smurf."

For the record, Colossus is an atheist. Or at least he used to be (the only time I remember them specifically addressing it, it was heavily tied into his upbringing in the Soviet Union - the character was created in the early 70s - which is kind of an outdated reference nowadays, so I don't think they bring it up much…

I thought the "controversial political references" were going to be some anti-Trump thing, and that the "controversy" would be alt-right folks complaining about it (like those Captain America issues that Conservatives accused of being anti-Tea Party and pro-illegal immigration).

Now THAT is a fantastic idea. For the next "set" of Netflix shows after the Defenders quartet (well, quintet if you include the actual Defenders show) to be horror-themed, with Blade plus any three of Werewolf by Night, Brother Voodoo (already set up in Doctor Strange), Man-Thing, Hellstorm (built-in Jessica Jones…

If memory serves, there are a few little details in Soldier that imply that it's taking place in the same world as Bladerunner (and not just on a fan theory or "there's a Transatlantic Airlines in our universe too!" level. If I'm remembering correctly, one of the writers has sad he intended them to be in the same…

I don't think Marine Le Pen's supporters are a big factor in U.S. elections, and I don't think even the people who voted for McCain wanted Palin to be president.

I think on the Venn diagram where the circle representing "People who appreciate the Trump presidential legacy" is red, and the one representing "People who would not automatically refuse to vote for a woman for president" is blue, the purple section is, while not non-existant, let's say somewhat less than an…

I wish I had the ability to not see my own belly.

I saw Sausage Party. It was somehow both exactly what I was expecting and not at all what I was expecting.

I dunno. Doesn't that kind of amount to refusing to believe that minor characters can pose a physical threat to main characters in fiction? Like, basically complaining that Michonne's plot armor wasn't strong enough. Or like watching Into the Badlands and saying "how come the bad guys know martial arts too? They're…

The only - literally only - problem I had with this episode was that I stumbled upon it about halfway through - right at the moment that Nathan Fillbug was uploading the fake portal gun info - and I immediately realized this was some kind of April Fool's Day sneak preview but didn't realize that the Cartoon Network…

Taco Bell Bacon Cheeseburger Burrito for me. Finest fast food item ever crafted by man or god, that was.

Donald Trump proves that no one has more respect for women than he does by declaring his intent to commit fewer sexual assaults in April.

I got a Law & Order notification for this?

I said this after watching just a few episodes but my feelings after watching the whole series are pretty much the same as my first impression: Iron Fist isn't as good as the Punisher half of Daredevil season 2 but it's better than the Elektra half, and it isn't as good as the Cottonmouth half of Luke Cage but it's…

I always wondered how long they kept those people out there after the last footage that was actually aired was filmed. Like, they couldn't stop filming until they were 100 percent sure they were getting canceled (especially since a lot of the cameras were automated) so there had to be a point when everyone…

Yes! While I thought the fights were good in this episode action-wise, it was the worst episode of the whole season as far as obvious stunt doubling went. I wonder if it was a directing or editing issue - there were several shots where the camera lingered on the stunt doubles while they weren't even moving around, and…

"I'm the goddamn Batman."

The impression I got - and I could be entirely wrong - was that anyone could go into the cave and confront the dragon and, if successful, become the Iron Fist, and the training Danny and Davos (typing their names out together I get the feeling they became friends because they assigned lab partners alphabetically) had…
