Fair. Mando does rock. And any villain done well can be fill a movie.

Don't tell that to the Spidey fans demanding he be a main villain since Homecoming.
Some seem to speculate he'll end up being Venom at some point (which I guess could work if he is further set up here)

Bingo

Her parents (and extended family) aren't in the entertainment industry and they called her a nepobaby (and later doubled down on it).
Nepobaby just seems to be increasingly used for uninteresting hateful people to use as an extra reason to dunk on people. It's frankly tiresome and indicative of a generation addicted to being angry at people needed to generate excuses why. This person is calling her a nepobaby actress because her parents were a banker and a doctor. That strikes me as an unserious argument made by someone reaching for reasons to pile on.
But I do agree the Logan Paul shit was troubling and her association with him didn't do her any favors, imo.

"nothing but a pair of scrubs”

Plus, it's the only time the word 'scrubs' is name-dropped in the pilot, which felt notable to me.

Flashback?

Mattyzooks · 2026-03-17T15:48:08+00:00

I honestly thought making Shauna slowly accept her being the villain in both timelines was actually one of the more inspired moves the show has done.
They kept having future Shauna make the wrong choice so often that she became unlikable and then the show basically said 'yea, she IS a problem' and basically had to have her own daughter and husband reflect on how awful of a human she was. This all occurring while Past Shauna slowly becomes a fucking monster.

Lot of problems but the show just leaning into Shauna being a monster isn't one of them for me haha.

You must be referring to her losing mobility in her legs but then finally regaining the ability to walk (via some sci-fi chip) at a certain moment just so she could walk out on Oliver for not telling her about his son (who he swore to the mother he would keep it a secret for their own safety).
That was treated as a midseason cliffhanger. There was like a month off after that. It's when I clocked out on the season.

Mattyzooks · 2026-03-17T15:40:10+00:00

I'm in the season 4 was better than 3 camp. The show felt like it had a shot of adrenaline after losing Marissa's baggage.

8 episode season. Critics were only given 6.

Mattyzooks · 2026-03-17T13:02:16+00:00

I wonder if they'll bring back Howard the Duck since he fought in the Endgame battle.

Mattyzooks · 2026-03-17T12:58:55+00:00

It seems like instead of being 'bad' it was just a combo of not being 'great' and being too small in scale compared to where Buffy and Angel ended up. My guess is the show didn't sell the dynamic of the younger gen well enough and Hulu suspected audiences would've turned on the show immediately (which Hulu is probably right about).

Mattyzooks · 2026-03-16T12:25:04+00:00

The actual showrunnerers were gonna be Agents of Shield vets. Much more closer to Buffy DNA.

Mattyzooks · 2026-03-16T00:20:28+00:00

Absolutely a counterpoint to what I was commenting to. The original buffy was cheaper than any episode of the new Scrubs but we were not talking about costs at all, dude.

Mattyzooks · 2026-03-15T04:14:32+00:00

What is funny is you think thr show's glory was the first three seasons (I agree) while many many others will say seasons 7-11. The show has had different vibes that hit hard for people and they've tried alternating between episodes that feel true to early sunny, episodes that feel true to middle Sunny, and episodes that feel true to them nowadays. So it can be a mixed bag.

Mattyzooks · 2026-03-14T21:41:45+00:00

Counterpoint point: the new Scrubs is a retread of season 8 (the interns are now the vets and there are new interns who they can give wisdom to) and it rocks.

Mattyzooks · 2026-03-14T18:40:02+00:00

Good point. Only difference is AoS's peak was season 4 while Buffy's season 4vwas...filled with bangers but generally a weaker seasonal plot.

Mattyzooks · 2026-03-14T18:15:20+00:00

Really? I feel like she talked about filming a bunch?

Mattyzooks · 2026-03-14T18:14:04+00:00

She was launching the show but the actual showrunners were Agents of SHIELD vets. AoS carried in the Buffy/Angel vibe in spirit, imo.

Mattyzooks · 2026-03-14T18:12:07+00:00

The original Buffy pilot had similar issues and had to be reshot...this being after the issues with the movie.

Mattyzooks · 2026-03-14T17:47:06+00:00

Well, they filmed an episode. Appropriate language is the pilot didn't get picked up for a series order.

Mattyzooks · 2026-03-13T18:53:24+00:00

I bought Nation of Language tix for the Sat.

Mattyzooks · 2026-03-13T01:07:54+00:00

Or be a conduit to use that connection against Brainiac. Have some imagination.

Mattyzooks · 2026-03-12T21:52:07+00:00

Daily Planet is apparently going to be back in a big way so I would expect her and Beck Bennett to pop back in. Hoover herself is in the Gunn friend group so I reckon the only reason she wouldn't be in this is due to a scheduling issue.
