It could have been worse.

We could have ended up with a Gwengela or a Gwenom ongoing.

I'm not trying to be damning, poo poo. I just said it might be good and I thought the concept was neat. Dial it back a few paces, Gwenpool Defense Squadron.

It's basically the concept from Last Action Hero except with the Marvel universe instead of action movies. I like it.

Also, since Gwenpool has all this self-aware fourth-wall breaking knowledge I think it's neat that so far they've refrained from referencing her inspiration - Deadpool - which must be obvious to her (unless I missed it?).

Why go through all the trouble? Just send them all to me, no weighing necessary. I have too few physical books right now. If it wasn't for the internet I'd probably be some kind of illiterate donkey.

I've been watching Community on Netflix, and all the people who told me Donald Glover "isn't funny" and Alison Brie is "obnoxious" were horrible liars who probably voted Yes on Brexit.

Glover is absolutely great on Community. It's everything else where he's just the worst.

Alison Brie is always a delight, that's just science.

Allison Brie is the best part of Community and anyone who said otherwise can gently caress off honestly. I'd watch a show of just her and the rest of Greendale without the rest of the study group.

I'm one of the biggest Community fans in the world, I actually wouldn't recommend against skipping anything, but it's more like if watching season four makes you not want to watch Community any more you're skipping out on the very good fifth season and the great sixth season, including its best series finale.

But yeah if you're gonna watch it all come hell or high water, season four is very very bad but not like the worst thing ever. Even very bad Community still has a really good cast with awesome onscreen chemistry, and no amount of bad writing can taint that. Well, except the season finale. That's almost a fever dream of badness.

She doesn't do so many typical rom coms. She has some flick where her boyfriend falls into a bottomless pit or something.

That's not true.

Glover was one of the brighter spots of Community for me (I gave up about a third of the way into Season 4), but I also like his stand-up comedy (saw him, Aziz Ansari, and Hannibal Buress live the same night once), appreciate that he was an Emmy-winning writer for 30 Rock, and even like Childish Gambino.

And I was one of those people who wanted him cast as Spider-Man before Andrew Garfield got the part.

Glover is loving hilarious, a brilliant musician and just a cool dude in general but his Community character was lame and didn't give him anything to work with.

I thought Glover was pretty good and most of the cast was solid. Abed though I couldn't stand. Just his character I found very grating.

I liked all of Community except the parts where Chase was an rear end in a top hat in real life and Glover got real depressed and asked them to put him on a bus.

The season four finale is some of the worst television I've seen in my entire life. Season five really gets back on the ball with the second episode; the only real clunker in six was the one where the Dean gets the 90s VR computer.
