i agree 100%, and have some detailed thoughts about how the sheer brilliance of the comedy makes the tension and drama hit harder, and the interplay between bleakness and farce cements sopranos as (imo) the Most American TV Show

if your story isn't plugged tight as a drum, and i just don't think that's the case here (and I think he sucks and should step down), publishing this is malpractice

there is a world where this story would be one that would need to be reported out, but imo it would need to be much better sourced than this! story with this hed is clearly implying "Biden secretly has Parkinson's and is using official events to cover it up". that's an *insane* things to allege

do you plan to "shake things up" by choosing some different things to disrespect, or will you keep the spirit of the Doctor alive and disrespect the same things (laws regarding age of consent, filming in bathrooms, things of this nature)

FICTION deserves it! These are just stories!!!! The Doctor isn't emotionally wounded when you call Moffat dogshit, the zombie wrestling creature called The Undertaker doesn't get hurt feelings if you say a match or promo sucked, Harry and his friends are fine if you say wizards society is nonsense!

this is why you can win with an election message of "no more scams". your phone is full of scams. your email is full of scams. tech is trying to scam you with crypto. vote for me and we'll make America *honest*. I genuinely believe that could be a landslide message

It's tough because tv is so different now, but I think about when MJ was on Simpsons. It was a cultural event, not a throwaway gag for a stunt like a normal celebrity guest star. And it was a *huge deal* that he sang too

ppl accuse centrist Democrats of being comfy with the fash expecting they'll be saved from the camps, which imo is dramatic; I think the truth is they're keeping options open to become the next generation of the Sensitive Reasonable Republicans when T finally croaks

*Rodney Dangerfield voice* my wife, she's a big fan of the new metal. she goes to YouTube to listen to the papa roach and it asks her if she's thinking about hurting herself. I looked it up on my phone, suddenly Google is sending me an Amazon link to buy "Final Exit"

just incredible how there's maybe three or four usable story ideas in the whole series, & the rest is just Garth Ennis whining about how he thinks capes suck. I agree a lot of the time but I'm not writing nine different comics about it

even tho it's a bonus, my favorite is probably the 1975 Japan Air [redacted] incident (redacted to preserve the magic in case someone doesn't know the story yet). It moves fast, it's fun, it's lower stakes, it's got a bit of history to it.

the creators of the show wisely made it about media relevant to now, instead of just blindly adapting the books which were just as eloquent and deep as anything else Ennis has ever done, & i hope that the show concluding coincides with culture just...putting capes on the shelf for awhile. it's time

COVID discourse is so cool man. I love that the available perspectives are "China virus that actually doesn't exist but was from China", "it's totally over and if you think about wearing a mask sick or well you're a weirdo" and finally "it's actually airborne AIDS and we're all doomed"
