Got off my ass and did a summer update for my Marvel Comics starting point tierlist. I found the courage to broach the subjects of Jim Lee, Doctor Strange, and Superman but if he were fucked up somehow https://t.co/ODcMQ1WE0Z
Alright, the child porn stuff has finally convinced me to delete this app from the iPad, at least for a while. “Mamylon” on Bluesky, I’m doing a really annoying gag about the Fantastic Four over there just this morning
Really, really loved this. As well-cast and -produced as Marty Supreme but slowed waaaaaaay down so half of it is just a sweet, emotionally generous hangout movie. Wagner Moura is quietly incredible, Tânia Maria is perfect and as much the heart of the movie as Benicio is in OBAA

Democratic Senator Jack Reed calls the Venezuela operation "well-conceived and courageously executed" before adding that it's part of an "illegal" campaign
@Roger_Work_man They want to do Star Trek TNG/DS9-style second-generation worldbuilding, so instead of the broad national archetypes we get the cosmopolitan milieu and everything tries to be “complex,” but it just comes out completely flat and greywashed. None of AtLA’s sense of fun or adventure
It’s an easy punching bag because of how many of the fans think it’s the best TV show ever made, but Avatar: The Last Airbender is really good, if you ignore Korra and most of the other brand-extension stuff. Season 2 in particular is stellar. This is a pro-kids’ cartoon account.
The Legend Of Korra: Dogshit. The biggest argument against the idea that AtLA itself is “mature” is how badly it fumbled the shift from middle-grade to YA.
My Little Pony: I watched a bit of this in 2012 to make fun of on Tumblr—it really is just a totally nondescript kids’ show.
Matt’s zoomer cartoon opinion roundup:
Adventure Time: sincerely one of my favorite shows ever. Magnificent at its best
Steven Universe: mostly pretty good
Gravity Falls: I thought this one was super boring, never made it far in
Over The Garden Wall: Great, functions as a movie
None of these smarmy Protect The Troops media guys can explain why the 80+ people killed in airstrikes in Venezuela don’t factor into the NYT/WaPo’s moral calculus. They’re just subhuman abstractions, by blowing them off a clear ideological choice has been made.
