Looney Tunes is also objectively better than Friends.

The only ones you might want to leave Disney for are Spider-Man Homecoming and Far From Home.

Omg. We (adults and the kids) :heart: baby plucky duck. Kids would quote those episodes all the time

Iā€™m partial to the OG barber of Seville and the Michigan J Frog episodes.

This is top shelf art.

Those cartoons are timeless and they were hard to find on streaming before now. Iā€™m not terribly surprised-- especially compared to Game of Thrones; whoā€™s going to revisit that after the writers botched everything so badly?

Iā€™m curious what the streaming metrics are on it. Is it as bad as it seems, or are we just in a nerd bubble?

From what I remember, Universalā€™s rights said they got any profits if the Hulk was the main character in a movie so Marvel wasnā€™t going to do any Hulk movies

Dvaut once had an idea for a comic book movie revolving around the various superheroes fighting each other over copyright and distribution rights. Which is basically the premise behind the Great Lakes Avengers.

We did this routine for years as each kid got to the age. Letā€™s just say you didnā€™t want to get into an elevator with the Danspartan family.

I assume looney tunes are popular now because They bring back good ole fashion racism, and bugs bunny slow pitch.

My wife read the first 3/4 of the first book and said that the books are very much like you describe the show, so it may not be the showrunners faults

Ive been reading Bloody-Disgusting this morning.

For anyone who didnā€™t know, Mr. Mercedes, the series based on Stephen Kingā€™s Hodges book trilogy is no longer locked behind AT&Tā€™s Audience TV channel. The first two seasons are now free on Peacock and season 3 drops in two weeks.

Isnā€™t there an actor that looks exactly like video game Joel? Not sure i like that casting.The games are two of my favorites from the past 10-15 years but they already have a bit of a movie/tv show feel so I guess Iā€™m not that excited for it

Im pretty sure the look of Joel was loosely based on Troy Baker after they cast him, especially since he did the mocap for the character as well.

And Mahershala Ali as theā€¦ uhā€¦ other guy, right?

I watched the 4 seasons on netflix and I tend to agree. I mean she can basically time-travel but she does very little to influence certain outcomes. What is the point of being able to travel through time if it doesnt really play a role throughout the story. She is a doctor and could do a lot of crazy shit. Ok it might get her burned as a witch but nonetheless I would use my abilities more often.

What does your gf like about it?

Would you watch it if you didnā€™t have kids?

Iā€™ll just have to foster some to make it worthwhile!
