I feel like I'm the only one that kept watching Superman & Lois, but I thought they had a killer final season, with a beautiful finale. Outside of the Donner films, this show will go down as my live action measuring stick for the character.

I do appreciate the balls to take up half of the runtime of your "last episode" with a single fight scene. This show does big multi-person fight scenes incredibly well, but I'm a little disappointed that we probably don't get the blowoff with Zara-Tory or the Iron Dragon dude. I never want to hear "sekai takai" ever again.

So I can't be the only one who went into this show with low expectations, and ended up thinking that the show greatly outkicked it's coverage. I honestly think it's sitting up there with Loki as the best MCU D+ shows. Really like Joe Jocke as Wiccan. I liked the backstory on Agatha not really vindicating her, but at least giving some context. Patti Lupone was awesome, and I really liked her episode making sense of all the weird stuff that happened earlier. Just a real pleasant surprise of a show. Also, "Ballad of the Witch's Road" is going to be in Halloween playlists from here to eternity.

I've liked the show, but is it bad that the best episode of this focused primarily on Billy and left everyone else mostly on the sidelines?

Superman & Lois FINALLY sets up some potential for Superboy Prime....when there are like 5 episodes left in the entire show.

So I *just* realized tonight that Michael Cudlitz was the weird dude in Grosse Point Blank that made up some beef with John Cusack and later asked if he wanted to do some blow.

Superman out there getting dogwalked by Doomsday for 3 episodes and John Henry Irons just basically said "aight I'ma head out".

We already see how the adult pissbabies are reacting to Skeleton Crew. At the end of the day, Acolyte of course wasn't renewed because the viewership didn't justify the cost, but I do think the viewership can be traced back to the discourse. I imagine that there are a significant number of people who aren't chronically online that go to places like Rotten Tomatoes or whatever to look at a review score. They see something has like a 35% and will be like "no thanks", and have no idea of the review bombing that took place. I'm willing to be money that Skeleton Crew will get a similar fate on review sites. So yes, Disney is fully justified in pulling the plug on something that people aren't watching, but the circumstances are really gross.

I was higher on the show than a lot of others, but even with the problems the show had, I think it had enough juice for a second season, and a chance for the creators to learn some lessons. It's just frustrating that shows don't get that chance anymore. Especially with Bob Iger and Disney, whose response to The Marvels performing poorly was to do exactly what we are talking about. I feel like if Andor didn't have connective tissue to the Empire, it would have never gotten greenlit, even with how incredible the show turned out.

The bigger story out of Acolyte not being renewed, is that we are probably just going to be stuck with Lucasfilm taking absolutely zero chances going forward. The lesson Disney will take is that everything has to be tied to the original films or else it won't get a chance to succeed. If the Clone Wars series debuted today, we'd have never seen the conclusion.

I was noticing the missing episodes immediately, because everything they did in episode one would have been a 2 episodes story in the past. Also, the Lila/Five/Diego stuff absolutely needed more time. Was it just me, or did they dial Five back by a lot? I mean in terms of making him a more humble character.

I didn't see Umbrella Academy being discussed anywhere else, so I'll just stick my season 4 thoughts here. This has been one of my favorite shows over the last several years, and it's crazy to me that they took this weird ass comic and honestly made something really special with the show. Most of that came from the awesome casting and writing. That said, Netflix did them dirty with the abbreviated final season. There were several things I liked and overall I liked what they went for with the season, but it was very apparent that they needed those missing four episodes to fully bake those ideas. On top of that, there were several threads from season 3 that didn't get addressed. Part of me wonders if they originally planned on a 5th season, and things had to get rewritten when that didn't happen. I'll forever be sad that they didn't get to fully do what they wanted to here. Overall I didn't dislike the season nearly as much as a lot of people online, but the end would have packed more punch with better development. Even with all that, I still cried at the end, and appreciated the more mature tone of the season overall. Nick Offerman and Megan Mulally were great in their parts.

If you want evidence that the casual viewers stopped paying attention to the MCU after Endgame, go on your Facebook feeds and look at all the confused reactions to the RDJ as Dr. Doom news.

At MOST it might have a post credit with RDJ Dr. Doom, but I feel like it's mostly self contained, and probably set on a different Earth.

Biggest laugh out loud thing for me was the running gag when Deadpool would ask about Didn't mention it earlier, but I thought the big fight scene at the end was awesome.
