Supernatural

[(Anonymous)]

I still love the show but this season was bookended by a shitty premiere and a shitty finale.

Re: Supernatural

[(Anonymous)]

This video is quite possibly better than most episodes during the last two seasons:

What happened?

SPOILER WARNING FOR PEOPLE!

Re: Supernatural VAGUE SPOILERS

[(Anonymous)]

I liked the finale tbh. It reminded me of the second season finale when the gates of hell opened and it was Sam and Dean vs the world and it felt very...Supernatural-y. Kind of had a back to basics feel for me and I dig it. I get why other people didn't like the finale though, and I agree with a lot of the criticism.

Re: Supernatural

[(Anonymous)]

I kind of liked it. It wasn't an amazing finale but as an episode it was okay.

I'm more going to judge it by where they go with it, because sometimes their amazing finales or amazing premieres go absolutely nowhere after.

I just finished this. I enjoyed it but you could see the impact of the Negation storyline in the last few issues, which felt a little bit rushed. Also, there was a bit of a deus ex machina going on. But, overall, it was good and I will read it again.

Now, I really wish there was a prompt meme I could post prompts too.

DC continues to suck monkey balls and alienate it's readers.

How so?

Re: DC Comics

[dethtoll]

Convergence has been really disappointing outside of a few tie-ins. I'm kind of let down by it. I'm hoping it leads into something better, though.

I just checked the counter: http://hasdcdonesomethingstupidtoday.com The last reset was this, which was pretty dumb: http://www.theouthousers.com/index.php/news/131478-dc-using-spurious-logic-to-screw-creators-out-of-royalties-and-credit.html Basically, DC uses Trolldad levels of logic to argue that derivative characters don't have a "creator," and therefore DC doesn't need to pay anyone royalties for using them.

Superman wank?

Superman wank!

How obvious!

DC does publish other stuff, you know.

WWE/NXT - I haven't seen SmackDown yet.

[fingalsanteater]

I'm all over Lana/Dolph right now, you don't even know. (Or you do if you follow me on tumblr.) WWE will probably totally fuck it up, which is why I'm already writing fic, lol. I'd like to see a little "mutually beneficial relationship" thing with them in which Dolph is totally okay with being used because he's gets to show-off for Lana, and Lana enjoys making making Rusev angry by flaunting her independence and acceptance of all things American.

Um, so Payback. The fandom collectively died and orgasmed at the mini Shield reunion. I know I did. (I wanted to see Kane or Bray Wyatt use Seth's moment of weakness to get into his head-- but I don't think that'll be the case. I guess I'll have to write that fic too.)

OMG SASHA AND BECKY'S MATCH WAS SO GOOD. Best of Unstoppable, for sure.

My fantasy of Kevin dropping the title to Sami have been dashed after Sami's untimely death at the hands of a raging Kevin, but he can still drop it to Finn and I'm totally fine with that. I just really want Kevin to win the U.S. title and come on to the main roster with a belt he's already made a mockery off, so I can have a heel I can really boo because Seth's too much of an adorable baby for me to boo, tbh. Who are the other heels, even? Eh, I can think of some, but no one like Kevin Owens, who is interesting for his of lack of transparency regarding his motives.

Re: WWE/NXT - I haven't seen SmackDown yet.

really enjoying assuming that when you say Lana, you're referring to Lana Del Rey

even though I know you're not

Re: WWE/NXT - I haven't seen SmackDown yet.

I was orgasming over Samoa Joe's debut at the end of Unstoppable.

Eurovision

[(Anonymous)]

So second semi-final was today. Why is it all so booooring? Seriously. The finale will have like 20 ballads. I have no idea who's going to win, because they all just blend together.

I'm glad Israel got through, cos at least they had some cheesy dancing. And I really really liked Slovenia's song, and I hope they do good.

Re: Eurovision

[caerbannog]

Just wanted to let you know anon that I will come discuss this with you in a few hours! I'm catching up on found 2 after lunch and will rate countries appropriately!

Re: Eurovision

[caerbannog]

Urghhhhhhh anon I agree. Second semi final was boring. I gave San Marino and Czech Republic some points simply because I felt bad not putting at least one song on my check list from sf2. I noticed when they played but it was mostly cookie cutter sings. Barely even noticed when Slovenia stopped and Poland began they were so similar.

Re: Eurovision

[ketita]

I am so stoked that we got through! (Israel). I mean it's a silly song with silly dancing, but it's cute. And I was sure we didn't have a chance :>
And seriously, ugh, what was with all the ballads? I go to the Eurovision for trashy fun, not that.

Daredevil (major spoilers)

[elaminator]

Okay, late to the party and all, but I fucking love Daredevil. Is anyone else here as fond of it as I am?

The cast is great, the writing is nice, the show looks beautiful and the action scenes are spot on. I wish season two was out already.

Who's your favorite character? Do you ship? What would you like to see happen next?

I personally am very attached to Matt (He has the best smile, and his tears hurt me yet at the same time give me life. I love him and his ridiculous parkour ways) but Foggy is the standout for me. I was not expecting to fall headfirst for him, but he is adorable and I constantly want to hug him. He and Matt have one of the best friendships I've seen recently, and I was cooing at all their scenes together. (Avocados! And Foggy was totally checking Matt out the first time they met, don't lie.)

I was also surprised at how much I grew to like Wesley, considering... He's a shit person who does terrible things. I think it's a combination of the writing, his devotion to Fisk, and the actors charm. I'm upset he died in such a dumb way. He seemed smarter than that!

I however, am not upset with Karen because she did the only reasonable thing she could have in her situation. And I'm pretty proud of Karen on a whole, for pushing through and being proactive despite the risk to her life. She's amazing.

I also really liked Claire, but I wish she had been in more episodes. Apparently she'll be back for season two, so I hope we see a good bit more of her then.

What happened to Ben and Elena tore me up. Also Matt's dad. (EVERYTHING IS UNFAIR. LIFE SUCKS.) This show made me cry a lot, jfc. Should've expected that after Spartacus.

I'm sort of hoping Vanessa becomes one of the antagonists next season... I think she could make an interesting villain. I'm not disappointed Fisk is locked up, though there's no guarantee he'll stay there; never did I think Vincent could be so terrifying, but boy was I wrong. Wooow, he has a hell of an intimidating presence. That car scene... Ugh.

Re: Daredevil (major spoilers)

[kaijinscendre]

I loved it and surprisingly, so did my sister!

The only character I was not a fan of was Fisk. He was also my least favorite villain. D:

Re: Daredevil (major spoilers)

[dethtoll]

I fucking love that show. It helped me get through a long week without my computer. I'd have to say my favorite character however is Owsley. That guy steals every scene he's in, and him getting killed off made me sad because no more exasperated old man snark.

Wesley's appeal is that he's a sharply dressed (even maybe a bit old-fashioned) good-looking professional with a snarky side. He's also a little on the thinner side which I think may play a factor.

I was also surprised at how well Fisk was played in this series. They did a lot to make him a sympathetic villain -- he's VERY intimidating, but also human, not just a cartoon character, and it's clear that he does have what could be argued to be a positive vision for Hell's Kitchen, he just goes about it in a very negative, harmful way as "a necessary evil." He comes off as legitimately pragmatic, and not just an evil asshole pretending to be pragmatic.

I'm also really grateful he didn't namedrop "kingpin" at any point in the series, not even in the final fight in the alley.

Speaking of fights, how 'bout that Oldboy homage eh?

Re: Daredevil (major spoilers)

[(Anonymous)]

I just watched this last week.

My favorite is Matt too. I like him flinging laptops in rage the most. Followed by him crying in the ugliest sweatpants ever.

That car scene fucked me up for days and I had nightmares.

I want to like Karen but I saw comic book spoiler and I just feel like she will always be that character that ~accidentally~ fucks everything up for everybody and I can't unsee it. That and she just wouldn't let it go and Ben got fucked over.

I wish I could have liked Fisk more, but he was just generic and his relationship with Vanessa was creepy since he raged out and did the car thing for a women he just met and slightly illogical that she was so ok with what he was doing.

I kind of hope that Fisk stays in prison and breaks out at the end of season two, so it gives us a season break from him. And I really hope the next villain is a bit better, but this is Marvel so I know it won't happen.

Re: Daredevil (major spoilers)

[herpymcderp]

Ngl I was really disappointed with this for all the hype it's been getting.

Mostly because of the writing quality, which was like some kind of horrible pendulum. It'd go from a brilliantly written scene right into one that threw out the most horrendous clichés imaginable... There were actually a couple of instances where my SO, who I watched it with, turned to me and quoted lines before people actually said them.

It was just so bizarrely good and bad at the same time that it kind of lands right in mediocre territory for both of us, I think. It wasn't helped by the fact that we both thought the dude playing Matt Murdock was a butterface (however, we both found Karen impossibly gorgeous, so that made up for it a little bit).

I don't know. I can't hate this show, but I can't like it either.

Re: Daredevil (major spoilers)

[cloud_riven]

"Avocados of law" = BEST

I loved this show. My expectations were pretty much set at "pretend that the ninja turtles are kicking ass in the background and living underground in this universe, and this may be enjoyable", so ofc it exceeded them. The action scenes were great, pretty brutal actually, hot people everywhere, tailored suits everywhere, and grey grey grey grey grey themes.

The casting was awesome and had chemistry imo and, outside of Fisk, there wasn't a character I didn't enjoy or was totally charmed by. Foggy was really cute, and I thought he was going to annoy me throughout. Turns out he's the basedest and I felt for him during his fallout with Matt. Karen too! Holy crap she needs to talk to someone and unload about Wesley, and gdi I really liked her friendship/mentoring with Ben. But also gdi x 2 because CUTE AND COOL OLD PEOPLE like him and Elena. Elena was a perfect abuelita and Hispanic and Guatemala and nooooooooo. Now where the crap is the nurse who reminds of the Teen Wolf's Mom McCall? I liked her! Where did she go :U

Speaking of old, that Chinese Drug Mama Villain ♥ Damn was I crushing on her and her no-nonsense, and boy was I happy when she broke out the strength. It was so silly and bamf at the same time, and oh my heart is aflutter just thinking about it. I hope she comes back :) Unfortunately, Wesley never got in on the fist fighting I kept expecting to happen, but he was pretty and snarky to look at. His death scene and attempt to bluff out of his mistake was good for me, because I just liked how he pretty much set himself up for it because caring about Fisk sorta blinded him there (no one knew where or why he left, who he met, and he slipped up). These villains were sweet, and even Accountant Guy was great. Old people snarking and conspiring ♥ And the Russian Guy who made the last stand, oh man I really liked him and his stubborn shit.

Fisk though. Eh. I keep reading and hearing about how totally human this portrayal is, and how totally sympathetic and whatever, but I don't see it. Yes, the lines and background are there, he wanted to improve Hell's Kitchen with organized crime and gentrification yadda yadda. But Fisk was a bore to watch. I didn't get the impression the actor was reading his lines so much as the syllables, and it didn't help that his scenes with Vanessa were basically composed of bland platitudes that I kept groaning and hoping the show would get to the next scene already. Vanessa on the other hand actually piqued my interest once it became clear she's pretty off herself and willing to give up her life for Fisk. Kind of irks me that we didn't get to actually know much about her beyond being an elegant romantic interest from Not Hell's Kitchen.

My favourite thing, aside from everything, was how you don't hear anything blatant about superpowers, "kingpin", and hell you don't even see the suit or hear the titular name till the end. Reminds me a bit of Arrow on that.
