How are u posted:New Pen15 episodes dropped and we watched the first 3. It's still such a funny and heartfelt show. Great stuff.  While not a girl, I came of age around the same time as Anna and Maya and I was also awkward as gently caress, so some of the situations were relatable for me. And like you said, it was really funny and sweet. It wasn't a long-running show, but I still enjoyed my time with those characters.

Page snipe but Better Call Saul is a lot funnier when you realize that it spends its runtime showing the dreams, plans, and schemes of characters that (aside from Kim, Chuck, Howard, Nacho, and Lalo, so far) we the audience know will get their poo poo mercilessly wrecked by Walt and Jesse just bumbling around like doofuses in Breaking Bad.

I just finished the finale of The Americans tonight, I'll leave everything below as spoilers. Couldn't have been more impressed though. What an incredible time all around, everything in the final hour felt tense and inevitable but so much still surprised me still. The last confrontation with Stan and the family in the nearly empty parking lot was just perfect. Such a sparse setting but every single tiny tic and expression on his face was incredible (as it has been for the entire show, seriously impressive any time he's on screen). So many layers of lies and half-truths with everything they're telling him in the moment, but you still see the honest emotion behind it all as well. I honestly had no idea what direction it might go in, even after it seemed like he decided to let then to after all. Then going from that to the extended travel montage with basically no dialogue - everything from there on felt incredibly bittersweet and a tiny bit hopeful every time they got a bit further without getting caught (as much as it could in their situation at least). But having Paige step off at the last moment felt like a final gutpunch, seeing their expressions and knowing it's the last moments they'll see each other, not even getting a chance to prepare for it. Having them end up back home after all that time - no family, huge portions of their life abandoned and no real strong connection to either country, is so sad that it's almost funny. It also feels like there's no other positive way it could have worked out. It always felt like the promise of retiring and having their family back in Russia was an impossible ideal but something to hold on to. I can't think of a better way to tie the show up and their final exchange after almost 10 minutes with minimal dialogue was just so full of emotion and exhaustion all around. It's exactly what they were told the job would be like and there's just no good way to experience it. Truly an incredible show and it more than lived up to everything it ever promises.

The only thing I didn't like about the finale, and I think I was the only one in the original thread, was that the show left the fates of a bunch of characters open ended. This was a huge copout since it has previously gone out of the way to show you stuff that could have definitely been left up to the viewer's imagination. The biggest one was Martha getting her kid. Martha's final scene could have easily been at the airfield when she left and then the viewer is left to decide whether or not Russia would actually honor their end of the deal. iirc even Stan wasn't sure what would happen to her, but he convinced her to leave anyways. I kinda felt the same way about Nina too. I can let that one slide a little more since her soviet scientist seduction plotline was a neat insight into how Russia operates, but I still think it would have been more impactful if her last scene was also being driven away in the Russian embassy car with her fate unknown.

As a huge fan of both awful 80s sitcoms and stunt casting, ABC's Live in Front of a Studio Audience was a good time. If I had a billion dollars, I would commission a straight remake of Diff'rent Strokes with Kevin Hart and John Lithgow. Here's hoping they get around to doing something from the Garry Marshall-verse next time.

https://twitter.com/BSO/status/1469014483590955021 I don't see how they continue this particular franchise anymore. Danai Gurira is great but I don't know if she can be the backbone of her own series of movies. Just a tragedy all around, not just the unbelievably untimely death of Chadwick Boseman, but the sheer obstinance of Letitia Wright. As an aside, it was cool that Chadwick got some lines recorded for What If, but mostly it made me really sad about it. He was set to be a major A-lister, likely multiple Oscar nominated, for the next 20 years or so. An incalculable loss. This is probably what people in the 50s felt like when James Dean died. (except it's doubly tragic because James Dean wasn't giving representation to a historically ignored demographic. All those kids who finally had a superhero that looked like them, that they could pretend to be. I can't imagine what it would've been like for the young BP superfans to hear that news) zoux fucked around with this message at 22:04 on Dec 9, 2021 |

I honestly think that IF Wright is done it almost makes a transition cleaner since you can just write off the entire royal family (and ideally the monarchy with it) and just move on to new stories of Wakanda. Its a very talented cast and Marvel is introducing new characters all the time. There's no reason they can't tell more stories with more characters even if Boseman is a massive loss. But there's like three Iron Man proteges in the MCU so the only difference is the real world tragedy and lost stories. edit: But also that article appears to say that Wright "might" not want to stick with Marvel if they demand a vaccine but they've currently stalled production of BP2 to accommodate Wright recovering from her injury/health problems. So it sounds directly contradictory and just nothing click bait? Unless I missed something? STAC Goat fucked around with this message at 22:23 on Dec 9, 2021 |

Back when Disney bought Fox, there was a rumor of a Firefly reboot for (the then-upcoming) Disney+, but I think that was also when all the Whedon stuff came out so if there was any truth to it, that probably shot it down.

Oh wow, that's rough. Has Black Panther been anyone but T'Challa in the comics? It's such a cool superhero, it would be a bummer if we saw no more of it. Speaking of Marvel, I watched Loki the other day, it's the first Disney+ Marvel/Star Wars show I've watched. It was pretty good. Seemed very short though. The "He Who Remains" guy was fantastic and I was excited to hear that he's Kang. I do hope we get some more of Lady Loki too. She was cool. Hilariously, I watched The Harder They Fall the very next day and it was freaky seeing Jonathan Majors again so soon. From the three things I've seen him in (Lovecraft Country being the third. I've heard very good things about Last Man in SF but I haven't got around to watching it) it's pretty crazy how versatile this guy is. He's extremely different in both personality and appearance in all 3. Seems like the dude can do anything.

I think at this point or at least within a few more years they should ditch Wright, recast Black Panther as a different actor and character, and just have a portrait or shrine to T'Challa up in the main hall and a dedication to Boseman in the credits. Then work hard not to gently caress it up. There's more benefit (to the fans and Marvel/Disney) in having the superhero active than in retiring the franchise in the actor's honor. Hell, do a Disney+ series where a few different people of all ages and genders play the role for shorter stories. But maybe I'm wrong, I'm just a nerd who watches too many of these dumb shows and has had more than enough representation my whole life.

Some years ago T'Challa became "King of Necropolis" and couldn't be BP so there was a lady one. I can't remember if it was an MCU character though. It was still T'Challa's book, I believe. It's funny you mention Majors because after Boseman died, I thought Majors had the charisma, stature and screen presence to be the next BP (not T'Challa tho). Then they cast him as Kang. zoux fucked around with this message at 00:10 on Dec 10, 2021 |
