Re: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
Maybe I would be more okay with it if I hadn't skipped WandaVision. While I am not happy at the notion that we're now moving into a time when you have to have seen prior Marvel stuff to understand WTF is happening in the current productions we have, in fact, moved to that time. Skipping WandaVision...

Re: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
My biggest disappointment with this film, aside from how they treated Wanda, was that we only really saw one other universe(two if we're counting the incursion Strange universe). It wasn't so much a multiverse of madness so much as Dr. Strange pops over to the next universe for a carton of milk and ...

Re: Apple TV's Foundation
This isn't Foundation.

Re: Babylon 5 Reboot
I don't really think B5 rates as grimdark, or even especially gritty, in its original incarnation. For the era of the 1990s, it was, or at least, it was authorial intent. Trying to be the anti-Trek. Star Trek shows a future where almost magical devices produce food because of how advanced they are,...

Re: Babylon 5 Reboot
It can be good, but it'll really depend on how they go about it. Having the characters of Michael Garibaldi and Zack Allen might be problematic considering how much culture had changed regarding law enforcement since the 1990s. Other things might need to he reexamined. Common opinions on things like...

Re: The Suicide Squad
Loved this film. Do kind of wish it took place on Santa Prisca instead of Corto Maltese, so it could have Bane, and more closely resemble that season 1 episode of Young Justice.

Re: Falcon & Winter Soldier -- SPOILER THREAD
So, we have confirmation that the GRC was putting people(around 20 million) into camps, and the only reason that they haven't already done forced relocation is due to 'funding and optics'.
That kind of reduces my sympathy when the Flag Smashers do whatever they're going to do in episode 6.

Re: WANDAVISION (SPOILERS, SWEETIE!)
One thing I think hurts the ending is that the average townsperson is forgotten about in the final episode.

Re: Falcon & Winter Soldier -- SPOILER THREAD
Anyone else been rooting for the Flag Smashers? I will admit, I've been doing so. For one thing, the hunt for them has seemed rather overzealous. A group of nonlethal bank robbers and Robin Hoods giving necessary supplies to refugees seems like a very back burner situation compared to all the potent...

Re: BioShocks of Madmen, Cities and Lighthouses
This is interesting, because a lot of people have made videos, essays, posts, etc, describing the opposite.

Re: Revamping Buffy Season 8: Slayers Around the World and their Organiation
I'm very curious how much the comics go into the new Watchers Council. As the season 8 comics(which is where I stopped) doesn't go into it, as the comics treat it like Giles is the only living Watcher left(meaning they ignore the Angel episode Lineage, where even after cyborg Roger Wyndam-Pryce is k...

Re: Revamping Buffy Season 8: Slayers Around the World and their Organiation
This is probably why the original Watchers Council was rather hands off in their treatment of rebellious slayers. If a slayer is uncooperative, wait a couple years, and a new one would emerge to help them on missions. With all of them activated at once, that clearly isn't an option, and they have t...

Yeah, I'm not getting this game. I got 5 because it took place in Montana, and while I had some fun, the ending with you being a cult leader's sex slave chained to a mattress while WWIII was going on outside really turned me off to the game.
