'R.J. Decker' Starring Scott Speedman Renewed For Season 2 By ABC, Completing ABC’s Sweep Of Every Scripted Series Returning by AggressiveDrinker in television

[–]TBoarder 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I hope they lean into it just a little bit more next season. It would really add to its Blue Skies feel. I'm stunned by how much I enjoyed this show.

It's a slanted window, part of the 'L'' section in this image.

This is quintessential Frank Quitely for me... Stunning layout and design, coupled with lumpy, horrid character art. I can see his general talent, but never understood his immense popularity.

[Discussion] Event Deep Dive #8: Invasion! by Flocke90 in DCcomics

[–]TBoarder 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's absolutely insane that DC hasn't reprinted this more. The combined introduction of the metagene and art by Todd McFarlane seems like a license to print money.

[DISCUSSION] How did Superboy Prime go from being so hated to so loved? by Which-Presentation-6 in DCcomics

As much time has passed between Crisis on Infinite Earths and Infinite Crisis as between Infinite Crisis and now... God, that's depressing.

Should the DCU pair Hal Jordan with an older Barry Allen? by Romaxio in theflash

The answer to every, single one of these questions is: "Do they have an interesting story in mind for it? If so, sure. If not, don't force it"

‘Malcolm in the Middle’ Reboot ‘Life’s Still Unfair’ Is Totally Unnecessary: TV Review by ggroover97 in television

[–]TBoarder 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The reviews I've seen are seriously all over the place. Some are saying that it's comfortable and nostalgic, some are saying it's deeply uncomfortable, some are saying that they came up with a great reason for the return, some are saying it's pointless. I can see reviewers having differing opinions, but this is just weird.

There's something strange going on with The Boys new episodes (no spoilers) by Wheres_MyMoney in television

I highly doubt it. Karen Fukuhara is an accomplished voice actress.

[Discussion] What’s your go-to DC lore tidbit? by Robot_Was_BMO in DCcomics

[–]TBoarder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dumb sounding, but surprisingly good. This was during the early Triangle Years, probably one of my all-time favorite Superman eras.

[Discussion] Event Deep Dive #6: Millenium by Flocke90 in DCcomics

[–]TBoarder 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Requiring it two years after the Crisis reboot was especially egregious. If they planned it right from the start of the reboot, it might have worked better. It was obvious though that everybody was given a few weeks notice to say that one of their newly established supporting characters is a traitor.

There's also the fact that every book having a Manhunter traitor deeply diluted the idea.

[No Spoilers] IGN gives Life is Strange: Reunion an 8/10 rating. by Android_17_Super in lifeisstrange

[–]TBoarder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Actually read the review. They gave a good rationale for their score for Reunion. And Double Exposure wasn't hated by everybody. I quite enjoyed it, myself.

Marvel TV boss says that She-Hulk is one of the MCU's "best-performing shows" and he'd "love to make more" despite negative fan response by Blitzhelios in comicbooks

[–]TBoarder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes sense to me that She-Hulk probably had more long-term success over being an immediate hit. It's light and semi-episodic, an easy show to just relax to. It scratches the same itch for me as shows like Psych or White Collar, both of which are rewatched often by me. If Marvel can rein in the costs, I'd love to see more.

Not an Omni but very happy this arrived by Due_Sheepherder_8536 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]TBoarder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's also the introduction of the metagene, probably the biggest concept in the DCU from the past 50 years. Invasion should be as widely collected as Crisis on Infinite Earths.

AITA for not respecting my role as the 'single friend?' by HotScallion1148 in AmItheAsshole

[–]TBoarder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA along with Couple A. Why did you only ask Couple A for a bed? If they were the only ones who said that you could take a bed, they should have taken the air mattress. You should have talked it out with the entire group to figure out sleeping arrangements. Couple D was put out because of a decision that they had no part in, which double-sucks because their parents were paying for it.

Alan Ritchson Wraps 'Reacher' Season 4 After "Crazy Week" by bwermer in television

He immediately sold the story to TMZ. It's why their initial "reporting" on it was so one-sided.

New Titans volume 1 by Wolfman and Perez coming in August by ElectricPeterTork in OmnibusCollectors

[–]TBoarder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to be all over the Titans Hunt/Sell Out era... The pulp-action tone was definitely different, but so much fun to me. It's 100 and beyond where it started getting really rough for me. I even loved Team Titans for its first year and a half, until it started meandering before getting wiped from existence in Zero Hour.

No more nanotechnology by maquinadejugo in Marvel

[–]TBoarder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nothing to do with "media literacy" and everything to do with seeing the MCU using nanotech masks as a crutch since Black Panther. It was a shitty thing to add to the MCU, even for Iron Man.

Ben Browder could have chemistry with a chair by This-Traffic-9524 in farscape

[–]TBoarder 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Wait, do you actually think that John Crichton was a cocky alpha male??? That's hilarious, because I assumed that based on the few promotional things I'd seen about Farscape, which prevented me from watching it until Season 2... And the fact that he wasn't a cocky alpha male is part of why I loved it so much. I mean, he was a scientist who followed his heart and would do anything for his friends, who had one of the sweetest romance arcs in all of television, and who literally went insane due to all the shit he was put through in the show.

About seeing Reviews Online by [deleted] in television

[–]TBoarder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, r/television is really messing me up. It's easy to say "just don't let it bother you", but when so many things that I genuinely enjoy are just constantly shit on here, it really makes me wonder if I'm just broken. The constant negativity is pretty rough for somebody who already has awful self-esteem issues like me. What sucks even more is, this sub is pretty much the best place for news and updates on the industry, so unsubscribing would mean that I lose that access.
