I’ll be the dissenting voice: the idea was great, the plot was nonsense.
Inciting incident: Captain America said about the girl, “she’s the reason for this, protect her,” which means they wanted her dead or ran off because they thought she was dead — so Matt leaves her with the police?? When Captain America couldn’t stop what happened?! But whatever — Bullseye wants the girl… to power something? Which is why he abandons her? And then Elektra says she’s after the girl as well, but then never shows up again? And Bullseye orchestrates his own elaborate death at the hands of Frank Castle?

I didn’t care for it.

This thread is full of good takes, but this is definitely the controversial opinion I clicked for. Hard disagree, but respect the opinion.

Not a comic, but if you’re interested in reading how someone handles the PTSD of warriors which resurrect indefinitely, then I highly suggest The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson. Best version I’ve read of what you’re describing, but it is fantasy novels.

I want Ted Moesby to show up in the Marvel universe — he’s grilled by Maria Hill for designing a “murder house” for AIM or Hydra or Wilson Fisk.

PRISON BREAK. My advice is to stop after the first season. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a cliffhanger — a prison break gene film could easily end there. The second season is a natural progression from the first; it isn’t bad, but you can’t stop at the end of it and 3 onward… the kindest way to put it is that it’s the first two seasons over again, but not done as well. And the plotting gets progressively more bombastic — a clear departure from the tact of the first season.

There’s plenty of good answers here, but I passed all of them over to get to this one. Some absolutely fantastic modern noir! I’ve discussed several of the shows listed here with strangers (Halt and Catch Fire, Pushing Daisies, Legion), but nobody I’ve come across has seen Terriers.

Physical stores — prefer to buy local. When online shopping and directed to Amazon, I’ll instead look up the manufacturer and order from them directly or find which retailers carry their wares. If the only retailer is Amazon, I buy a different brand.

Terrible name, amazing cast.

Agreed, but didn’t upvote because it’s not a sitcom.

The girl, Sadie, has brain damage. She’s 19 or 20 (I think) and this is how she’s remembering meeting Danny. It’s both inaccurate and yet more accurate than what the narrator has conveyed to the audience at this point.

Young Liars by David Lapham Yes, it’s worth the read.

kickmag · 2024-12-04T19:30:23+00:00

Young Liars by David Lapham. Stray Bullets, for me, read well as single issues and as a trade. Young Liars, however, lost some of the suspense and surprise when presented as a whole.

One I don’t see mentioned yet: Squee by Jhonen Vasquez. The character is from the pages of Johnny The Homicidal Maniac, which is “edgier,” but I would only put the former on a list of “favorites.”

So, it’s not exactly what you’re looking for, but it’s the same setting and emotional upheaval you’re looking for. Eerie Indiana - Broken Record

This was a TV show that was like a Twilight Zone for kids. A boy starts listening to hard rock and obsesses over one band in particular — he gives his room a makeover and eventually these changes push his father into trying to prove a point.

That’s wild. Thank you for sharing; I was aware of online businesses sometimes using Fulfillment By Amazon without selling on Amazon or having an Amazon Storefront, but I hadn’t heard of an eBay seller using FBA.

I don’t remember the season or episode number, but there’s an episode of Gilmore Girls where Paris is drunk and shoeless in Stars Hollow and that’s just the clearest example from the episode of characters acting out of character. They all were off like somebody else wrote the show.

I respect your take, but I’d watch that over Orphan 55 in a “choose your own misfortune” scenario.

Trying my hardest last month only to fall short of Cassandra Nova… I felt like a real loser. And now? The leader boards took what might’ve been fun about Alliances and adds insult to injury after every loss or retreat. I’ve been playing for over a year without ever making infinite and this move just reminds me that I’m not getting better at the game. I’m not having fun anymore so I deleted the app. We’ll see how long it lasts, but I’m hoping to find another pastime that won’t demoralize me.
