Those people are taking a job, one in which is harder and harder to get if it isn't Disney. They aren't the problem, the company and its top people are.

They need to have at least a decade or so before they reboot these mega-franchises again and again. There have been three Spiderman actors since I graduated high school.

 

Why would anyone want more of the Amazing Spider Man movies, they were the worst ones

 

Because they were the best ones.

 

I would take Spider Man 3 over the ASM movies. At least that movie is fucking bonkers and weird. The ASM movies are neither good nor bad in any way that is remotely interesting. They are chemically inert.

 

On the other hand I finally get to watch Brink! again

 

Another Andrew Garfield Spiderman would be hilarious. Like just a giant middle finger to the world

I'm extremely tired of hearing about The Office. I love the show but just enough is enough, it's getting up there with Friends now where people won't shut up about it

 

It's by far the weakest of Schurs shows

 

I love The Office, but I agree that pop culture is pretty oversaturated with it. Curious to see how its eventual removal from streaming services affects that, Friends too

 

For me

Parks & Rec>First half of The Office>Good Place>B99>Second half of The Office

 

The hate for the latter half of The Office is overblown. Season 8 is an abomination from Hell, but every other season of the show is still anywhere between pretty good to highest peak sitcom level. Sure, the highest of the highs are in the earlier seasons but that doesn’t mean there aren’t great moments and characters in those last few seasons, except most of eight.

 

As a whole, I’d still take it over the other Schur shows because those others don’t reach the emotional depths The Office does. Parks and Recreation is close for that but not better, in my opinion.

 

That's crazy to me because that's my biggest complaint with the Office. I dont think it has hardy any emotional depth or character development compared to the rest of Schurs work.

 

The Office started getting bad in the middle of the second season. The introduction of Andy and having celebrities like Jerome Bettis show up was the end.

 

The Good Place is definitely standing in the corner gesturing wildly at that comment.

 

Third season but that still seems drastic to say it was the end, haha

 

And maybe ‘emotional depths’ is the wrong phrasing to use. None of the other shows connected with me emotionally like The Office did, that’s more what I meant.

But to go back to @tdlyon comment, I get what they mean about being sick of hearing about it. It is overkill at this point.

 

About halfway through the second season the ideas start to become too outlandish, but season three is where it really greats eyeroll inducing. I made it to the part where Stringer Bell takes over, but it was out of obligation and the hopes that the show would return to form.

A lot of my students like the Office but hate the early seasons. They made me switch episodes.

 

my least favourite thing about the Office is the ever constant debates of when the show got "bad"

 

The shining moment of the later seasons and the only reason I stuck with it.

EDIT: Broken gif hurt my heart, this is close enough.

 

That actually makes sense that younger kids would like the later seasons way more, because the whole premise of the show originally was that Michael and Dwight are the only actual comic characters while everyone else is a mostly reasonable, “real” person working in a dull office environment. But if you watched it as a kid/young teen then that will seem much more slow and boring than a show where *every* character is their own kind of Michael
