Re: Dooku: Jedi Lost

So I got this on Audible, and it's an interesting listen. The framing device is Asajj Ventress on a mission for Dooku, and reading up on Dooku's past through his correspondence, private journal, and other things. It's an interesting perspective on his character, where you wonder just how much of wh...

Re: Thor 4 News (MCU).

Yeah, I think Thor took a page from Cap and realized he was done with his old life and wanted to move on, abdicating his responsibility and passing it on to Valkyrie. I wonder if they will call him Odinson to differentiate himself from Jane? There must always be a Thor, but there doesn't always need...

Re: Avengers: Endgame release thread (spoilers)

Of course, the question of how Deadpool can be integrated within the MCU is going to be an even greater headache than the more conventional mutants, given part of his appeal is how he not so much leans on, but shatters the fourth wall. I'm hoping he comes busting through some crack in reality at th...

If you're in the mood for an incredible-yet-bittersweet ride, I highly recommend treating yourself to Logan. It is the perfect end to the Fox-era of X-Men films, IMO

Wait, its confirmed that the next Strange film is going to be him exploring the multiverse?
I would think so, as it is titled "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" lol

Re: Avengers: Endgame release thread (spoilers)

Dr. Strange is literally going to be about the Multiverse, for realsies this time, so that might be where X-Men and/or Fantastic Four show up. Strange has to save/merge an alternate reality with ours or something? All I know is that the next phase of the MCU is looking like they are channeling a lot...

Re: Thor 4 News (MCU).

But in the comics it has been canon for quite awhile that "Thor" is a title/mantle that is handed down, and Jane had previously been Thor for a long time. Just like Eric Masterson and Beta Ray Bill before her. There is always a story of Odinson then proving worthy again of reclaiming the m...

Yeah, I'd leave it all alone. That is, until their flagship Event Horizon drifts into Federation space.

Better to tractor-beam it into Klingon space.

That was all Q's doing, I think. It forced Picard to get creative, to really fight tooth and nail to even get to the Devron system. Q made Picard earn that win.

She had a spy's survival instincts. It was her proximity to Cap and his Aura of Kings that helped give her that final push. Plus s...

So far we have Data, Riker, Troi, and Seven of Nine (boy I hope they give her a new name) confirmed for at least small appearances. And I'm getting some serious "Logan" vibes from this film, except this time it is Professor X on one last mission to save a child. And that isn't a bad thing ...

Re: The Fellowship of the Starfleet Crews

I am horribly, morbidly curious to see how well Odo would endure things like Saruman's greek fire equivalent, or a cauldron of boiling oil.

Could he just turn himself or one of his arms into a solid shield like Ms. Marvel and tank shit like that?

All I can do is hear Sisko's wrathful "THIS ISN'T OVER BETWEEN US!" bellow at Eddington and think, holy shit the Ring would claim him in a heartbeat. Now, due to his Bajoran Maiar (just roll with me here) lineage, I would say that Sisko is some distant relation to Tulkas himself, and would...

Re: The Fellowship of the Starfleet Crews

If he's not needed to guard the Ring, Aragorn would most likely go straight to Minas Tirith and get to work fighting Sauron's forces early. That might not go over well in the city, actually. With Boromir there under his father's thumb, I wonder what would happen if Aragorn showed up and tried to pr...

I think the TNG group has the best shot because of Data, but that emotion chip makes him a massive liability if he doesn't shut it off asap (since I'm just going to go with the whole Ring can utilize emotions). But with Data things get interesting as yes, he can literally just run from Rivendell to ...

Re: Sub half a Galaxy class for voyager

Picard decided that being able to go "any place, any time" meant going back a few minutes to try and beat Sauron in hand-to-hand combat again, and thus he needed help. That's an amazing typo but I don't think Picard can beat Sauron in hand to hand combat even with Kirk's help. On the plus...

Although there's no way to tell now, I'm really hoping that Black Widow's film is her passing through some kind of crucible within the soul stone.

She's more than earned a film with some pathos behind it, not a lazy prequel.
