Right on. I trust everyone's judgment on this.

Marvel Universe: Infinite Chrises
Discussion of all Marvel Cinematic Universe related movies and TV shows, including, but not limited to, the Avengers, Captain America, Agent Carter, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Daredevil, Spider-Man, Ant-Man, etc., etc., etc. ad-infinitum.
Discussion of non-MCU Marvel titles like the X-Men or the Fantastic Four is also permitted. Ties to comics may be discussed, but this is not the primary forum for comics discussion (see the Other Media thread).
Spoiler policy: For broadcast TV shows, blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast. For movies and Internet streaming shows, whitefont all plot-related discussion until it's been in wide release two weeks. Posters are encouraged to preface their posts to indicate the subject, particulary if switching subjects.
Here's the inside deal. It started as a sort of Office spinoff and Leslie was going to be kind of a loser and like Ricky Gervais/Steve Carrell's character that nobody respected.
But that didn't work. and they realized that Amy Poehler had this kind of intrinsic warmth and likability and they shifted gears and they made it more of Sisyphus structure with her being hypercompetent in a tiny pond, dealing with petty details. And that made zoning issues epic comic battles.
I also just watched Graham Norton mostly because of Chris Pratt, although everyone on was delightful.
Parks and Rec just kept getting better and better afaic. Although I liked it from the beginning.
Non-Parks and Rec --
This is an Ant-Man t-shirt I might have to buy: [link] I cannot stop laughing at it.
Worse than Karen Page, who Frank Miller turned from Matt and Foggy’s secretary into a drug addict porn actor?
Yeah, I think so.
I think parcs and rec is my favorite sitcom ever. It ended well, characterized perfectly, and equally prioritized hilarity and heart.
Is the Comedy thread locked?
Sorry. I'm responsible for that Chris Pratt-related derail.
(Because God knows we NEVER go off on thread-inappropriate tangents. Ever. My bad.)
(I actually went to check the Comedy thread.)
