OKAY CAN WE TALK ABOUT MALCOLM NOW?
Ahem.
This show, man. This show is so, so good. It's dark, but I agree with the various reviewers who say that it's not grimdark. It's such a show about survivors, and what surviving means, and how trauma does and does not change you (see -t's point re: personal responsibility).
AND! A show about male entitlement and toxic masculinity and family and friendship and shit life choices and grief and loss and... and...

Indeed, dark but not grimdark.
I would love to talk about Malcolm, although I am really just capable of having my hands around and gibbering incoherently at this point.

I kind of thought that Nuke was a pretty lame bad guy, (and I wish the showdown between Nuke and Hellcat was choreographed better), but the realization that Frank Miller created the perfect parody of a red pill chompin' MRA--25 years before the fact--was a pretty delicious irony.

Are we sure it was supposed to be a parody?

Not intentionally. The joke's on Miller.

Just running in to say I mainlined SHIELD this weekend and I'm so in love with the writers I want to throw my heart at their feet and ask them to stomp on it some more. And then reenact the orgasm scene from When Harry Met Sally.
Now, it sounds like I need to get caught up on Jessica Jones. I didn't realize Netflix released all the episodes at once. That should make this weekend interesting.

I can't believe you got this and Fury Road in the same year.
