the show where the scary bad guys are garbage cans with plunger hands is having money problems?

IGN@ign.com · yesterday

Solving the "problems" currently plaguing Doctor Who will take time, the series' former showrunner Chris Chibnall has cautioned, explaining that the show's most pressing issue now is "primarily about money." https://bit.ly/3RUqeI6

Again this was a shift from what I felt at the time, which was that the whole Incursions saga, Secret Wars included, was a stadium rock Marvel version of the classic DC event - worlds will live, worlds will die, and all that - but with fewer hangups about the whole "making sense" element

ORDERED TO??????????

#EventsDearBoy 7. INFERNO (1988, Marvel) Hell hath no fury like a creator (of strong women characters) scorned. Ordered to kill off his supporting character Madelyne Pryor, Chris Claremont did so in the most rageful way possible and turned her into a fan icon

not a day goes by where I don’t think fondly of the bit in the last season of barry where he spends the episode listening to podcasts trying to justify murdering someone and he’s sitting in his car and a hockey player (bill burr) does it and he IMMEDIATELY goes “bingo” and pops out the door

Thank you for helping me make the most unhinged piece of media I've ever created: Commander recommendations based on if you think Mitch McConnell is dead

you ever think about how when a bunch of grown adults came up with the idea of having a toddler’s catchphrase be “you got it dude” with a thumbs up there was probably more cigarette smoke in the room than an entire nassau county off track betting

I have a personal belief that the more a person is a nerd for something: dinosaurs, The Odyssey, etc, the less likely they are to enjoy a popular entertainment version of that thing.

The best film adaptation of the Odyssey, wrong answers only

can’t be an even halfway decent period crime show if you don’t have some crazy out of place european super assassin hit the scene. (it’s season 4 and dark winds is on its second)
