@therealzubes Hickman’s X-Men felt like dominoes, carefully arranged so that everything could fall into place. This post Hickman era has some good material, but it feels more like a Jenga tower that’s a few moves away from falling apart.
@coopercooperco @fallenferengi @bigmonbubbles Honestly I think part of the reason GRRM has had so much trouble finishing the series is that the plot thrust (Jon becoming King of the realm, Azor Ahai) is directly antithetical to the main theme (this system is a nightmare that is doomed to repeat itself, no matter the king)
@SamtheNightOwl My favorite stuff in the show. Tony has psychic dreams (Tony B assassinating Leotardo), and goes to fucking purgatory. People point out Pussy in the mirror but one of my favorites is that in that same episode, a fucking ghost comes down the stairs of the Soprano house.
