I think Unalaq felt like the weakest of the LoK villains because he didn’t turn evil by going too far with his ideology, he just wanted to be powerful and evil and was using his belief and spirituality to trick Korra into getting what he wanted. There was great promise when Unalaq was first introduced, because people can and have and do commit evils in the name of religion and belief, but it was like he dropped all of that and said ‘Nah, I was kidding, I just want to be the anti-Avatar. Psyche!’.

This is a fantastic article; your analysis of each film is really in depth and is really effective motivation to watch those of these that I’ve yet to see.

I didn’t even realize We Stand On Guard was written by Vaughn until I read this, and I own it. Honestly, it’s a topic I used to think about a lot when I was a kid (and still do from time to time), and I do wish it had been longer, or that these were 6 out of many more issues. It’s one of those comics that instantly made me wish it was a TV show.

Absolutely! I love listening to the music from Miyazaki movies, especially the waltz from Howl’s Moving Castle. All of Joe Hisaishi’s work for those movies so strongly invokes the world of the movie.

I saw a fan theory that Coulson should be the one to get Tony and Steve back on the same side, which would be a great integration of the Marvels’ TV universe with their film universe, as well as possibly the only person who could reunite the broken Avengers for Infinity War.

I wish the MCU would acknowledge Agents of Shield more. I was really excited when the show was announced because, even without knowing much about the comics or SHIELD, there was a lot that could be done just within the world set up by the MCU movies. To be honest, I haven’t watched AoS since the mid-season finale of season 3, but I hear it doesn’t get more included into the MCU.

I totally agree with your analysis. When shows have tried to steer away from this archetype, they are met with a lot of criticism and complaints.

I never did like sitcoms where the was a clear divide and difference between the husband and the wife – the moneymaker and the homemaker. In part, it must have been because it was so unlike my childhood, both in that my mom was the one who wore a suit and went to work, but also because both of my parents worked. TV used to make it look like having both parents in a family working wasn’t common, but I think that’s changed in more recent shows.
