I heard a hilarious account about someone's friend who went on a long, nerdy rant about everything wrong with the WW pilot at a party while failing to recognize David E. Kelley in the room until after the latter stormed out.
Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
The Wonder Woman pilot is quite easy to find online.
In this case I'm willing to accept the general consensus. No need to torture myself.
That's a great story, Matt.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
If you're gonna make an awful WW pilot, you gotta be prepared for the nerds to rant at you. Or any comic pilot, really. Nerds rant, it's what we do. Don't be so sensitive, Mr. Kelley.

I'm still peeved with Joss that he went with Ultimate Hawkeye instead of the Matt Fraction Hawkguy.

If for no other reason than we were cheated out of Pizza Dog.

Had that series started back when he was developing the Avengers script? I mean, clearly it's the Platonic ideal of Hawkeye stories, but I think he had a choice between Ultimate Hawkeye and this version: [link]

OK, still a bad decision on Joss' part.

I'm mostly handwavy with things I don't like in the MCU, but that Sudden Useful Plot Twist made me grind my teeth. I could rant like a nerd about why, but I'll spare you.
