Being a cop show from CBS, I have a feeling that it's just going to be unapologetic copaganda. I'm sure it'll try to present it from a "neutral" stance with the "bad" cops getting some pushback, but nothing substantial. Like when the grandfather from Blue Bloods said he misses when cops could give the uppity hoodlums wood shampoos and every just went "oh grandpa, that's naughty."

There's no actual substantial discussion, they just try to do the bare minimum of saying "look, we're doing the right thing" even though they're not.

Survivor started out as a really interesting lens on human nature. Now it’s just a game show.

Beat me to it, one of my favorite moments lol

"I should just keep scrolling but I feel it's very important for this random guy on Reddit to know just how much I don't care!" LOL

This.

I don't wish death on the creators of the show and tell people not to watch all 7 seasons because the ending ruins it all. I say watch and enjoy, and maybe they won't even be bothered. If they are, so what? They had six great seasons.

I binged the show for the first time over the holidays a few months ago, and honestly, despite all the 'bad rep' about S3 etc I was hearing, I found it all very engaging and enjoyable and wasn't bored at any point; always eager to continue the next episode. Maybe binging the show instead of watching it week-to-week alleviated some of the gripes people have with the show?

But yeah, I definitely agree that S1 and S4 were the best overall. I'd say the other seasons, while not flawless, were definitely still solid though, and the way S5 wraps up makes OB have one of the most satisfying conclusions to a show I can think of.

I could never get past her voice and that nightmare fuel of a laugh.

A fashion icon, a brilliant creator, and hilarious to boot. Fran is truly timeless.

Blegh

What's the green stuff?

I don't think it ever was. Maybe you're thinking of another project?

This was always (as far as I know) going to be a live action one with Jude Law and overseen by director/showrunner Jon Watts (Tom Holland Spider-Man trilogy). I believe he was the one who went up to Disney with this pitch.

I remember that being a criticism of the novel as well.

The novel does feature "girl gang" vigilantes who go around exacting street justice, but I don't think they go to the trouble of masking up.

I hope it makes a 2023 release. Lots of interesting names involved in this project.

Too bad Fran Dresher is now kinda a stooge.

I always find it funny that the message about power corrupting regardless of gender needs to be spelled out at all.

Well obviously, some would. They're just not the focus of the story.

What’s your beef with Homicide there?

More like "I'll send her an email. The response will be automated."

> but are kinda afraid of making one because everything is so messy on the movie front.

I don't care if you all downvote - a large part of that hesitation is the toxic ass fanbase. Disliking the Sequels is one thing - dislike it and move on. But we didn't get that. We got the most vicious response to a trilogy in history possibly. Even worse than the Prequels, and those were even more boring and terribly written.

But calling for heads on pikes, throwing out racist words towards John Boyega/Kelly Marie Tran (who seems to have had her confidence undermined and now only does voiceover work instead now - great job, nerd fans, for killing a dream), demanding in petitions that the Sequels be de-canonized. Directors being called to never direct again (thankfully Rian Johnson didn't listen and went on to do his own successful projects). Screaming that TFA is too safe, but TLJ was too bold. It's like listening to the most annoying customer in a restaurant when you sat down for Applebees. This isn't fine dining, genius.

Not all SW fans were like this, but enough of them were to make Disney go "Why the fuck should we ever make a movie if our directors and actors go through 1000% more hell than other directors/actors who have failed worse?" Margot Robbie still gets her ass kissed after 5 towering failures in a row. There's a reason Christopher McQuarrie (Top Gun Maverick and Mission Impossible) said he will never do Star Wars. He has interest, but he said "Have you seen how the fans treat writers, directors, actors if you are anything less than perfect? No thanks."

Yea as someone who watched from the beginning I agree with this.

I went back and watched them all during the pandemic and season 4 was amazingly well done.

1 and 4 were the best imo

Marvel and Star Wars seem to have a weird obsession lately with adults protecting kids it’s like every project I mean if quality is good I’m fine with it but it’s definitely a formula emerging within Disney

You should see him in Mr. Robot
