The Television Streaming Thread: Now With Felonies

I could see a bank thinking it’s being scammed.
An Avenger is looking for a loan at my bank??? This must be a scam.

This bank though is like “You haven’t had an income in 5 years! Loan denied.”

Latest Chapo on Wandavision / MCU was pretty great.

The only good superhero show is the Boys.

That’s an incredibly spicy take.
I love The Boys but have a very tough time putting s2 in my top 5 for live action, and if you include animated its probably not top 20.

In the last year I liked Legion, Harley Quinn, Watchmen, and yes, Wandavision more.

Are we getting a third Batwoman in two seasons? Goddamn, this show is a hot mess.

Watched about 40 minutes of the HBO qanon “exposé” before I just realized they were platforming them. Big pass.

Well thats distressing

They touch on something that’s bugged me quite a bit and I’ve brought up before, the number of fans I’ve encountered (not here, thankfully) who think even criticizing the MCU is blasphemous, post the garbage “let people enjoy things” meme, etc. It’s not enough that they won cultural hegemony; everyone must love their stories as much as they do, and the world must never subject them to criticisms of their stories.

Any idea if it’s available anywhere in the US? I’m always looking for a new sitcom to watch.

(Speaking of, the Mrs. and I have been watching Those Who Can’t on HBO Max the last few weeks; that’s been fun. It was on TruTV for three seasons but got canceled. Pretty funny sitcom about shitty teachers, created by a comedy trio based here in Denver.)

I watched a little “Little House on the Prairie” today because it’s the favorite show for one of the Big Bang characters.

In other MCU news, looks like they’re pushing back Black Widow (again) into July. Going to release simultaneously in theaters and on Disney+ (but the premium thing where you have to pay an additional $30 even if you already subscribe).

If they’re going to stream it anyway, I wonder why they also moved the date back? More time for theaters to open? Filling a schedule gap in the Disney+ lineup of previously scheduled MCU shows?

Who in god’s name is shelling out $30 to watch a D-list superhero at home?

When she’s played by Scarlett Johansson? Lots and lots and lots of people. Mostly dudes.

Sadly the math checks out for parent. Babysitter + 2 10 to 15 dollar tickets

Do these dudes not realise you can type “Scarlett Johansson sexy pics” into Google for free?

The film wants to be about what’s under the skin, but for most viewers it’ll never get beyond what’s not covering it.

You all got me to watch the 1st episode of Falcon and WS by emphasizing all the between the action stuff. Pffft. Way too much guys flying through canyons. Yawn.

If his only superpower is flying, you’re gonna get flying through canyons for sure. Maybe he flies under a bridge!

I’m sad to report that Cobra Kai really slows down after season 1. Might give up after S3E1. S1E1-6 or so were awesome.

Netflix has been churning out a lot of shit lately. Now that they have some real competition it’s like they are slashing production budgets.

Try Alice in Borderland if you want a good foreign language show.
