also it's not that baffling a success because it stars a depressed clown girl.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwAPLk_sQ3w the amazing digital circus now has two episodes out and is kind of a baffling success. i want to like it more than i do, and i'm hoping it finds its footing -- it gets a lot of understandable comparisons to Helluva Boss as another indie animated series th...

you deserve this today

Caught up with X-Men 97, and what a success the show it. It perfectly captures the original show's ability to capture the current state of the X-Men at the time (those Blue and Gold team costumes and lineup) while adapting classic X-Men storylines rather faithfully for a kid's TV show. Only now the...

Also, there was so much going on that I almost missed that Xavier felt Gambit die but not Magneto . Which, y'know, nice touch, even if I'm long past taking any superhero death seriously anyway. Notably the MasterMoldipede also stopped detecting an Omega Level Mutant threat while Magneto was clutchi...

Episode 6 immediately reminds you how much Claremont DNA is in this series by having a woman pin a man down with her high heel hard enough to bleed and then shortly thereafter insinuating that Charles Xavier is down with pet-play.

I wouldn't have wanted it to end any other way, quite frankly.

Finally started in on this over the weekend and went through all the available episodes and -- yeah it's kind of a wild ride with just how well they know who their audience was and is. The writing hits that melodramatic mishmash of the comic book soap opera and Saturday morning cartoon straight down...

Anyway, sorry to disappoint Yeah to be clear no disappointment other than it’s always cool when people do get into something new, but some stuff just won’t be for everyone and that’s totally fine! If Shonen battle stuff isn’t your thing AND you even gave it a try and you bounced off, that’s more th...

Reading One Piece is a trap second only to watching it. https://media.tenor.com/K8ySNRLQRegAAAAe/one-piece-luffy-disgusted.png You're really going to have to hard sell me on that one, because I recall reading it for a while when it first came out (maybe, 1/20th of where it is now?) and IMO it was p...

Been reading mangas for the first time in a loooooonnng time. Goddamn, why didn't anyone tell me that Spy X Family was adorable and heartwarming enough to cause grave physical distress. Holy shit I am so here for that. Doesn't hurt that Endo's plotting is impressively meticulous and his ability to ...

i got hit with an absolute hell-storm of thunder and rain right around the time of the eclipse so i got my night-during-the-day regardless of your Godhand shenanigans

i'm here more for the pals than the survival crafting shell which i don't imagine gets particularly more broad or interesting than what you've shown so far

We have bog simple no frills taxes and already had id.me so that unemployment could not pay me anything last year, and this was seemingly easy and painless (I guess we'll see for sure if it's accepted/rejected in a day for some obscure reason) so hey good on the government for a thing

Paste buys The AV Club. I mean, I'm not sure what's left to buy of The AV Club at this point as opposed to there still being something to rescue when they picked up Jezebel, but maybe this will give them a more noble eventual end than the AI death spiral they were currently going down.
