The way they structured Inspector Gadget made sense from a goofy Saturday morning cartoon perspective because if Inspector Gadget was competent and knew what was going on, there wouldn't me much conflict in most cases they could come up with. It would also probably only involve him as a competent cyborg detective doesn't need a child and dog to tag along. There would need to be specific situations that made him struggle that weren't just "oh I'll use that other gadget that solves this case". It's possible but it's a totally different kind of show. Because his niece and her dog are the protagonist characters who solve the case, Inspector Gadget is the Scooby Doo of the show. He's there to be a goofy mascot and sometimes accidentally help. The protagonists struggle is finding ways to solve the case, keep themselves and their bumbling cyborg uncle from getting caught, and using their knowledge of his gadgets and personality quirks to trick him or the bad guys into believing he's a super cop. It's an interesting way to tell the story of a character like inspector gadget without just being "look at his cool gadgets he used to win right away"

All right, so.... I'm gonna be the one to piss in the cornflakes. The Jedi were NEVER intended by George Lucas to be seen as incompetent or corrupt: that's just fans projecting onto the movies their own interpretations. And now people like Dave Filoni and Leslye Headland are in charge of making super important stories for the canon, all based on this huge misreading of the movies, and trust me, I've done my research into this. They go on and on about how they're trying to honor Lucas' vision.... but they don't understand it. Or worse, are putting on an act for PR purposes. The best encapsulation of this is that scene with the Senator guy. Who chews out the Jedi for trying to control emotions, calling it impossible and arrogant. And in interviews, Leslye was all like 'yep he's dead on right,' and lots of fans agree with him too. But.... that's not true at all. Jedi don't 'control emotions' to get rid of them. They practice emotional regulation. That's...... bad?????? Look, it's a very, very, very popular fan opinion of the prequels that the Jedi were self absorbed, arrogant and prideful, and concerned more with optics than actually doing good. It's because a lot of fans relate too much to Anakin and think he was treated unfairly by the Jedi, and so his fall must have been because they didn't coddle him. Seriously, it's a big thing in the fandom, the Anakin apologism. Lucas' intention was that the Jedi were truly good and they had moral authority to keep the peace, but the Clone Wars put them into a conundrum where they had no choice but to get involved in politics more, against their wishes, and they became pawns of Palpatine. And Anakin's fall was mainly due to his refusal to follow the Jedi rules, becoming entitled to power and being paranoid about losing people he loved (selfish attachment, which is forbidden for Jedi), and Palpatine grooming him from childhood. That's the prequels, as Lucas wrote them. But in the years since, fans dealt with their disappointment of those movies by inventing this take that 'the reason the Jedi aren't the cool good guys I imagined them like as a kid, is because they're just jerks! They're the real problem! They're all self righteous and if they just let Anakin get married like he wanted, it would have all turned out okay. They got what was coming to them!' More or less. So now modern SW media keeps hammering in this message that the Jedi Order was fundamentally broken and they caused their own downfall. And that Anakin just needed to be given the space to feel his emotions more, and he turned out so entitled and power mad because he didn't get enough emotional support from the 'cold' Jedi. It sounds very convincing on the surface, doesn't it? But Lucas has been extremely transparent about all of his intentions with writing Anakin's fall, and how it's really ultimately his fault, for making actively selfish choices, in defiance of the Buddhist-inspired teachings of the Jedi to not covet objects or people in your life, and to learn to keep your emotions in check. The thing is, I wouldn't mind this change, and it even IS a decent idea for how to evolve the franchise into more morally gray waters, but for one thing... Filoni has claimed this is all true to George's vision, and that this was always what George had in mind. He's gone on big speeches in documentaries and stuff about the 'ideas' behind the prequels, and claims it all came right from George. But what he's saying, is completely false. And contradicts written evidence of George's ideas. That is what honestly disgruntles me. That this huge change to the lore is being framed as 'George's master plan all along,' which is a giant lie. At least admit you're altering the story, either for dramatic license or to better fit modern sensibilities, what have you.... but don't put words into the original creator's mouth, long after he's given up all control over his baby. That's some fucked shit. If anyone doesn't believe me, I got the receipts, I will gladly show you the mountains of evidence for this disconnect, and the massive warping of Lucas' ideas.

I skipped through at least half this season of the boys, and most of Episode 6 (maybe we pull back on the deliberately offensive sexual violence? I'm not super interested in seeing Hughie get assaulted. Being a man doesn't make it any less wrong) To me this season suffered from paralleling reality so closely. It's not a bad strategy, but we're already watching obviously evil people manipulate the masses in reality. The cast just looks exhausted and broken the entire season, which is the only way good people in America can feel right now watching a legitimate sociopath con his way back into power. It's really soul crushing.

I didn't share your impatience with this season, but I do agree that it was too on the nose. I really don't need another oh-so-smart show cynically rubbing our noses in it all at this point. In the final episode I was SO encouraged when Hughie convinced the others to do the right thing because it's the right thing, regardless of the consequences -- and then they were all immediately punished for it and Butcher the murderous ends-justify-the-means psychopath was reinstated as the show's main "hero". Pfft! How about a happy ending, for fuck's sake? How about letting GOOD things happen to good people for once???

The idea that opinions, subjective evaluations of media, can be credible is wild. They aren't scholars. They aren't responsible for engaging every element of criticism-- they aren't defending the show in an academic or deep-dive forum. That you or anyone chooses to spend time engaging with Star Wars criticism and dissecting what you deem to be worthy or unworthy is a hobby. A critic who watches a show, hears a middling amount of criticism, and discounts it isn't wrong. They aren't Star Wars hobbyists. They're giving a mildly engaged, median-viewer review while also doing comedy bits. You either agree or don't agree. It's not a matter of fact. Approaching Star Wars like it's academics isn't mandatory to talk about Star Wars.

@@mouse_roar You're absolutely right, they do provide a median-viewer review and they have no responsibility to do deep dives or essay material on SW. The thing that bothers me is that they'll happily slash bad writing apart in other movies or TV shows but for some reason don't seem to do the same with SW and I think Disney has to be held to a higher standard. Disney and SW have historically been in an unprecedented position to create generational, impactful, and innovative stories. Cinema is dying and Disney should be held accountable with their influence and capacity for incredible storytelling.

That plus the failure of Lee to properly explain things due to the haze she was in, and the very little time after it was broken, led to the tragedy.

The shapeshifter in the boys is just a supernatural shapeshifter.
No Mason's Mini gun minute?
What’s the Story Morning Glory reference 46:06
Don't know if anyone understands what I mean but personally Longlegs feels a lot like Season 1 Mr. Robot especially with Lee and Elliot being both socially awkward gifted people who live isolated lives and SPOILERS can't trust their memories and have deceitful parental figures.
I think Butcher does kill Homelander but then Ryan almost becomes a villain for good and kills Butcher leaving Hughie to talk him down.
Podcast isn't what it once was. Shame.
Some pearl-clutching happened by some people who love to clutch pearls.
Never read the comics but wasn't that the point? That to beat the supes they needed to become supes themselves and in return become monsters as the supes are?
Nope. The comics have no nuance like that. All The Boys have Compound V from the very start and that hypocrisy is never bought up.
@@RasnakJS well, thanks for clarification then. I guess I should not expect it, Garth Ennis is not know for nuance in his hatred of superhero comics :D There is a reason the show is much better than the comics.
But then the us military had anti supe missiles and got rid of them very quickly.
@RasnakJS Didn't the author try and fail to address this by having butcher off everyone in the boys gang?
27:34 the Jimmy the Robot podcast, it's free but also irrelevant
The Russo's are great, but I just hope that they actually take their time with this one. Too many marvel productions are shoved out the door before they are ready.
Unfortunately they were the first to “woke-ify” the films with the “here comes the girls” moment 😂
James and Mason's opinions on SW get increasingly less credible. The argument that most of the complaints about the show are not important and just whining noises is a red herring. Sure the time discrepancies and small inconsistencies are a bit annoying but the real issues that matter have to do with the writing. the storytelling talent and "creative" decisions are horrifically bad. It baffles me that they can accept the writing of these Star Slop shows as acceptable storytelling from the largest media monopoly and most lucrative and beloved IP in history.
Facts.

they were mocking points that no one had problems with and ignored everything people had problems with and if they did they just said “who cares” . It’s like , if you aren’t gonna be reviewers then don’t even bring it up because all you’re doing is “yeah it’s okay and all the complaints are blah blah blah losers anyways .. “
It’s because they don’t take it too seriously (unlike a lot of chronically-online people). It’s just a thing, and they don’t care too much about it to be so chuffed by it.
I figured Longlegs would be supernatural from the opening with Maika doing the psychic test and then psychic-ing her way through the evidence montage, but was pretty let down that it was just "lol Satan did it." The metal ball and weird dolls made me hope for something... I dunno, _weirder._ Make up your own mythos and go crazy weird with it, idk.
yeah, final act was a major letdown sadly. after the interrogation sequence the film took a nosedive.
At this point whenever the What We Reading What We Gonna Read theme plays, I just sadly sing "Westworld" to myself in hopes of feeling something again.
I’ve been singing it this whole time and didn’t even realize he’d stopped! Curse this resonant baritone
the acyolte episode 3 and 7 i think are the worst episodes of tv i've seen in the last decade tbh, the fight sequences are pretty ok, but the plot could have been put into 3 maybe 4 episodes and would have actually paced much better. The power of many chant should get someone fired, whoever wrote it, fire them.
Which member of sex and the city dated Raiden?
Samantha.
butcher tentacle powers is more of like a parasite with its own powers like venom. butcher doesn’t have his own temp v powers back, Ashely will most likely be similar to Hughies dad were she won’t have control or if possibly jus deforms her.
I skipped through at least half this season of the boys, and most of Episode 6 (maybe we pull back on the deliberately offensive sexual violence? I'm not super interested in seeing Hughie get assaulted. Being a man doesn't make it any less wrong) To me this season suffered from paralleling reality so closely. It's not a bad strategy, but we're already watching obviously evil people manipulate the masses in reality. The cast just looks exhausted and broken the entire season, which is the only way good people in America can feel right now watching a legitimate sociopath con his way back into power. It's really soul crushing.
I didn't share your impatience with this season, but I do agree that it was too on the nose. I really don't need another oh-so-smart show cynically rubbing our noses in it all at this point. In the final episode I was SO encouraged when Hughie convinced the others to do the right thing because it's the right thing, regardless of the consequences -- and then they were all immediately punished for it and Butcher the murderous ends-justify-the-means psychopath was reinstated as the show's main "hero". Pfft! How about a happy ending, for fuck's sake? How about letting GOOD things happen to good people for once???
When Gina Carano gets canned "its not cancel culture, its consequence culure" and "play dumb games, win dumb prizes, just dont say stupid things" Compare that to their response when Tenacious D wishes a man dead the day after an assassination attempt. Little consistency boys, Love the podcast regardless
53:16 I actually don't remember this scene. Is this an inside joke or something lol
My favorite part of Acolyte was when the Jedi find the guy who sold the poison used to kill a Jedi Master, and immediately offer him immunity from prosecution to give them the person who gave that poison to a Jedi Master. Like, intentionally selling fucking poison, poison that was used to kill a Jedi, seems insane.

@@mitchyoung4173yeah i just think they don’t care for the franchise and that’s fair. It’s kinda dull at this point. As an SW fan I do agree though that Book of Boba Fett was as bad and so was Ashoka and Mando season 3. The Lucasfilm writing is atrocious outside of Andor
The idea that opinions, subjective evaluations of media, can be credible is wild. They aren't scholars. They aren't responsible for engaging every element of criticism-- they aren't defending the show in an academic or deep-dive forum. That you or anyone chooses to spend time engaging with Star Wars criticism and dissecting what you deem to be worthy or unworthy is a hobby. A critic who watches a show, hears a middling amount of criticism, and discounts it isn't wrong. They aren't Star Wars hobbyists. They're giving a mildly engaged, median-viewer review while also doing comedy bits. You either agree or don't agree. It's not a matter of fact. Approaching Star Wars like it's academics isn't mandatory to talk about Star Wars.
@@mouse_roar You're absolutely right, they do provide a median-viewer review and they have no responsibility to do deep dives or essay material on SW. The thing that bothers me is that they'll happily slash bad writing apart in other movies or TV shows but for some reason don't seem to do the same with SW and I think Disney has to be held to a higher standard. Disney and SW have historically been in an unprecedented position to create generational, impactful, and innovative stories. Cinema is dying and Disney should be held accountable with their influence and capacity for incredible storytelling.
DEFENDERS!
They thought the acolyte is getting hate for anything other than the awful writing and bad acting is crazy
It got review bombed before episodes were even released, and the idiots doing it were so stupid they kept attacking a movie with a similar name.
@@willh2690 that doesn’t make the writing and directing good?😂
@@daguy9305 doesn't make it bad either. It's a moot point.
@@willh2690 then why did you bring it up?💀
26:24 the return of Anthony Hopkins misspeaking while narrating
56:24 bro Hughie got raped and Kripke claims it was a joke, that shits wild
James would make a statement to get himself cancelled and still drop Maso faster
Regarding Longlegs and her boss, it could have been a bit of the 90's male bravado of " I'm in the FBI and high up the chain, there's no way this could happen to me." Plus he was dismissive of the more out there stuff and seemed more focused on what was actually tangible. That plus the failure of Lee to properly explain things due to the haze she was in, and the very little time after it was broken, led to the tragedy.
