FBI: International Season 4 Finale Completely Wasted The Fly Team
Definitely disappointing, but not surprising considering that the network only gave them about two months notice that the show was being cancelled. At that late date, there were probably only a few episodes left to film, with scripts already finalized and shooting schedules and locations established. It would have been extremely difficult at that point to change course enough to provide a truly satisfying conclusion to all of the ongoing storylines. I'm disappointed that they didn't reveal whether Raines or Vo got the new supervisory position, but at least the show didn't end on a complete cliffhanger. Hopefully they will take the opportunity on the original FBI or the new CIA spinoff to allow some of these characters to wrap up their stories.

"It's Reprehensible": DC Has Some Evil Villains, But Deathstroke's Controversial Origin Is Truly Unforgivable
To be fair, it was Arisia who attempted to seduce Hal, and although they were in a brief romantic relationship, I don't think they ever "consummated" before Hal realized how wrong that would be. That's quite a bit different than Slade's deliberate psychological manipulation of Terra (although it's been a lot of years, so I'm willing to it I may be ing things wrong). On the other hand, this is the same period in which Supergirl was implied to have had a relationship with her magic horse in human form, so... yeah. DC was trying to make its comics more adult oriented, and things got a little weird.
Marvel Is Destroying Spider-Man's Reputation, And I Don't Know How He Can Ever Recover
Tom Brevort has made it perfectly clear with his recent comments that he not only hates Spider-Man, but that he hates Spider-Man fans. DC realized what a catastrophic mistake that New 52 was and has tried to course correct, whereas when anyone dares to question Civil War or One More Day, Marvel's response has consistently been some minor variation of "F U. We don't care what you think. This is Spider Man now." I just can't understand why a company would so deliberately try to sabotage their flagship character. That would be like Paramount hating Captain Kirk or McDonald's trying to make the Big Mac inedible.
After 83 Years, DC Officially Kills Off One of Its First Golden Age Superheroes
Obviously, this author doesn't know much about Ted Grant, or couldn't be bothered to do some basic research. Although Wildcat doesn't have any traditional super powers, he does have a sort of "Nine Lives" resurrection ability. Last I knew, he had only used up about three of those lives, so even if I missed a few, he should still have a couple left to come back with.
Snow White's Box Office Is A Harsh Reminder Of Rachel Zegler's Prior Disappointments
Whoever wrote this article must be a real Rachel Zegler fanboy--while I have nothing against her, the premise that "all her movies bomb, but it's not her fault" seems a bit myopic. What do all these movies have in common? Rachel Zegler. Yes, coincidence is not causality, but at some point you have to reach the conclusion, if all your relationships fail, maybe the problem is YOU.
The Robin Curse: Why Everyone is Furious Tim Drake Won’t Give Up the Mantle
Small point: Stephanie Brown was Spoiler BEFORE becoming Robin, then became Batgirl, then went back to being Spoiler. Granted, the continuity gets a little confusing since all this happened around the time of Infinite Crisis/ New 52/ Rebirth, but still you ought to be able to get that detail correct.
NCIS: Origins No Longer Needs Season 2 (But A Renewal Will Still Be Great)
NCIS: Origins is not a show that was needed, and which I think actually detracts from Gibbs' backstory. Coupled with the abrupt cancellation of NCIS: Hawaii--and CBS' callous reaction to the fans' outrage--it should have been obvious that this show was destined for failure. CBS will probably prop it up for another season or two just to save face, but I think it's safe to say that Origins will be the biggest flop in the NCIS universe (Unless you count the failed pilot for NCIS: Red).
10 Actors Whose Careers Were Hurt By Superhero Movies
Umm, yeah, I think the three years Wesley Snipes spent in prison for tax evasion might have had more of an impact on his career derailment than Blade: Trinity's underperformance.
Why Blue Bloods Being Network TV's 4th Most-Watched Drama Wasn't Enough To Make CBS Renew It
Because Mariska Hargetay is the only remaining original cast member. Even though shows like SVU and NCIS have been on longer, to my knowledge Blue Bloods is the only show to have run for so long with its entire principle cast (meaning Tom, Donnie, Bridget, Wil, and Len) intact from the very beginning. Other shows have run longer but regularly replace cast so the salaries do not become as astronomical as they did on Blue Bloods. (This was apparently true of many of the camera people and crew as well.) I understand the reasoning, but I still think it was a bad decision by CBS.
The Rookie Season 7's Major Character Departure Explained By Showrunner
While it's always sad to see a beloved character leave a show, one of the things I love about The Rookie is the (relatively) realistic way it portrays the inner workings of a police precinct. Patrol Division is usually the entry level into a police career, and it's not uncommon for officers to move around between divisions or even precincts--especially in a department as large as the LAPD--so Thorston's departure is believable, and it sounds like they're leaving the door open for future appearances.
How The Phineas And Ferb Showrunners Tried To Create A Perry The Platypus Replacement
Disappointed that Milo Murphy only got 2 seasons--it was a clever concept that never really got a chance to breathe. I'm hopping that we get another crossover--or at least a cameo-- in the Phineas and Ferb reboot. Also waiting to see if they will address the fact that Dr. Doofenshmirtz ends up turning good in Milo Murphy's Law, or if they just ignore it and have Doof and Perry back to the status quo.
NCIS: Origins Can Further Ruin NCIS' Worst Character Exit 16 Years After Their Death
I've got nothing against Austin Stonewell or any of the other actors, but Origins is just pointing out how little sense the timeline of the original NCIS makes. Jenny Sheppard went from new agent--who apparently screwed up badly on her first major assignment--to the Director of NCIS in just nine years? Sorry, that's just not how federal agencies work. I realize that continuity and canon errors are going to build up over time in a show as long running as NCIS, but looking backwards to either highlight them or try to ret-con them seems like it can only harm the franchise.
Spider-Man 4's Working Title Has Me Convinced An Important Marvel Character Will Finally The MCU
My favorite plausible-but-with-no-actual-evidence-to -it internet conspiracy theory is that Zendaya's MJ is not supposed to be Mary Jane at all, but rather Angelica Jones (maybe using her middle name for some reason), AKA Firestar from "Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends." This possiblity seems just as likely as any of the others I've seen regarding Spider-Man 4, and as talented as Zendaya is, I've never really cared for her as even an alt-Universe version of MJ, so hope springs eternal. They could even bring in whichever of the Ashmore brothers played Iceman--I can never which is which.
DC Just Perfectly Explained The Real Reason Superman Can Actually Hide His Secret Identity
At one point it was explained in the comics that Superman could exert such precise control over his muscular that he could actually alter his physical appearance slightly--as Clark Kent, he would seem smaller and clumsier, and even his voice would be different. Within the constraints of reality, Christopher Reeve portrayed this duality excellently in his Superman films, and Kevin Conroy was widely praised for his ability to make Bruce Wayne and Batman sound like two entirely different people. Additionally, people tend to see what they expect to see--there us a famous story about Henry Cavill standing underneath a giant billboard of himself as Superman in Times Square--while actually wearing a Superman t-shirt--and nobody ing by recognized him.
Blue Bloods Star Reveals Whether The CBS Series Could Be Saved By Another Network
CBS really needs to fire their head of programming--as noted above, they have made some spectacularly bad programming sector his year, but none more egregious than cancelling Blue Bloods. While it is not the longest running show on TV, it is, at least to my knowledge, the longest show to run with the entire principle cast intact from the very beginning (meaning Tom, Donnie, Bridget, Will, and Ken). That's an incredible legacy that CBS is apparently willing to throw away in favor of a show that has already failed to make it past the pilot stage twice. Saving money is pointless if you drive away your entire audience in the process.
2 Classic Doctor Who Characters Knew About The Timeless Child All Along
Exactly! What made the Doctor special was that he wasn't special--we know from the original show that he was only a mediocre student and was not highly regarded as a Time Lord. But he had a highly developed sense of morality and couldn't stand by while others suffered the way the most of the Time Lords did. This need to ret-com him into some sort of Golden Child just goes against everything he previously stood for!
Justice League's Most Powerful Hero Names The A-List Member He Doesn't Respect
And let's not forget that, for about 20 years after Crisis on Infinite Earths, Barry Allen was dead (or at least lost in the spied force), so to an entire generation of comics fans Wally West IS The Flash--and he was far more accomplished as the The Flash than Barry ever was. It's only in recent years that they've ret-conned things to push a lot of Wally's original feats and powers backwards onto Barry in order to sideline Wally.

ThunderCats Live-Action Movie Casting Henry Cavill Would Get 1 Important Thing Right About Lion-O
Every article I read about Thundercats in live action whinges about poor CGI and uses that same image of Taylor Swift from the Cats movie. But the Thundercats don't actually have feline features--except for their bushy, upswept eyebrows, they have normal humanoid features, only covered in what I assume would be very fine fur. Yes, they have large, pointed ears, but they are still in the normal human position and could easily be achieved with prosthetics. A combination of make-up and prosthetics--possibly enhanced by CGI as they do in the Marvel films--would make the Thundercats both believable in real life and true to their animated designs without all this hand-wringing fear over uncanny valley nonsense.
