I am once again asking James Gunn to cast Madelaine Petsch as Poison Ivy once the SAG-AFTRA strike ends. Read more

Disney absolutely dropped the ball on Willow. Of course it was never going to match up to the absurd ratings of a Star Wars or Marvel, but they didn’t give it a chance to grow its audience. They scrubbed it right before Pride Month instead of promoting it as starring its first canon lesbian princess. Then everybody

It’s often fallen back on camp as defense, but the early seasons are much more dour than campy. Although it’s possible to play something so deadpan it becomes tongue in cheek, using frivolous names doesn’t automatically make something an absurdist delight. The scenes that received memetic traction were largely in

It’s nifty that they finally solved the love triangle laterally, yet it’s also underwhelming that they waited until the final episode to zip through the solution like an afterthought. None of these couplings are endgame. Congrats to Kevin/Clay & Choni for winning!
