Okay, but they're not, like, the people that operate the machines at Northrop-Grumman that turn children into grist. They're just writers, it's fine that their job exists and they deserve a living wage even if they're doing bad work.

Lmao gently caress off, what a hilariously bad direction. Don't blame Stewart for chasing that bag, but they had Roy Wood Jr. right there and they just fumbled it back to an old host.

drat just directing a bunch of pilots and raking in the cash would be nice

The rub is that a ton of pilots for shows that don't get picked up at all get produced every year, iirc

That scene that everyone says makes the show a masterpiece from that point onwards? Where he breaks down and finally talks about his brother? How he loved and hated him? Is glad to be rid of the mess he makes in everybody's life but would give anything to have him back?

I watched it. It's fine. Maybe more than fine. And I obviously missed the build-up and context. But I've seen better. I listen to more touching stories every week irl

Please tell everyone here your favorite show so we can watch it in the dumbest way possible

The actual series finale is one of the best episodes though??? And I don't love the Season 5 finale but it's a lot better than 4's.

It's cool they got the original Cyclops and Storm VAs back. I can't tell if that's the same wolverine. There's only one VA that absolutely must return and that's Gambit.

Cyclops is clearly Ray Chase to me, so I don't think that's his original voice actor

I loved both Knives Out and Glass Onion. They're not really meticulously crafted mysteries, but they embody Johnson's storytelling sense. The man's a magician, and the whole point of a magic act is sleight of hand and misdirection to draw your attention to the right wrong place. People derogatorily say he's all about "subverting expectations" instead of telling the classic story you came to see, but every time he pulls the rug it's with clear purpose.

e: Brothers Bloom is maybe his least film (as in, it's the one I remember the least), but it basically spells this out in the first five minutes

With everything else Brick is going for I wouldn't really call it much of a "mystery." I'm not saying Johnson is at all a one-note filmmaker, I'm saying his priority in KO and GO is trying to twist the murder mystery framework by getting the audience to overlook the extraordinarily obvious truth. For me at least, they wildly succeed.
