    “Brian K Vaughan's”

    Crediting this to BKV and not Cliff Chiang is a truly cursed thing to do.

    Anyways, don’t know that I’ll watch it, but I’m glad Chiang is (presumably) getting paid and hope the young cast is having a good time. Hope it gets more people to pick up that Paper Girls compendium, which is damn good comics and would be a damn good entry point for someone into the comics medium.

    Thanks now I edited it to credit nobody. Less information, the less the pedants can nitpick at you.

  10. I bought this graphic novel awhile ago but still haven’t started it. Now that there’s a show, I feel like I should finally dive into it all. Better late than never?

    Finished the season tonight. Really enjoyed it and god I hope it sticks around, especially after The Wilds just got canned. I like the cast a lot. The tampon scene, my god.

    Just finished the season. This is giving me the depth and exploration with KJ and Mac that I wanted from the book. I’m pretty shocked at how different it is in general

    I think I’m in the minority in feeling like the comics started strong but didn’t really go anywhere / kinda started spinning it’s wheels. Haven’t checked the show out yet for this reason.

    For what it’s worth, I never connected with the comics but enjoyed the series. They made several changes from the book so it might still be worth a shot

    Was talking about KJ's arc in the show with a friend and I really love how they expanded her story. Her running into her future self is such a smart storytelling decision. The scene where she asks her future self's girlfriend how she knew was so good. I like how we're seeing her wrestle with all of it in a way that feels true and appropriate for a 12 year old girl

  20. Oh come on, why can't we have nice things last for once

    Is this because they expected it to rival Stranger Things? Ugh

    Yeah this sucks

    BKV is now 2/3 with series based on his works getting canned after 1 season. At least Ex Machina is getting made into a movie not a show.

    Of course it’s gonna get cancelled when you don’t promote it at all Amazon. I literally saw it scrolling through and said “I didn’t know they were making this a show. When does it come out?” Only to find it was out already. Such a shame.
