The eagles have always been the biggest plot convention in the series. They're around when they need to be and conveniently unavailable when the story calls for it. I wish Jackson would add some bit about why Gandolf can't just call on them whenever he wants or have him call on them and they don't show up. Something.…

Sounds like fan rage back peddling to me

That's what they alluded to in interviews and things before the start of this season, that he'd be around but we wouldn't necessarily be seeing him for a while. Something along those lines.

Turn in your Walking Dead anti-membership card

I'm pretty sure we'll find out the Governor got that giant herd together and is leading them to the prison. They showed them finding the dead rats outside the fence to bait walkers all ready. I wouldn't be surprised if he played a hand in delivering this plague on them. As much as I didn't like his character arch last…

Iron Man 3 especially. It was like RDJ had some stipulation about getting X amount of face time. Spider-man has been consistently like that too. His mask is off far too often. Now, Judge Dredd, that was an excellent comic book movie and Dredd never removed his helmet. In addition to that, the whole story was like,…

I don't know, could be good, but the forced plotline of adopting Sherman is totally unnecessary and could hurt the dynamics between the two. I always thought of those two in more the way Family Guy handles it with Brian and Stewie, only roles reversed where Stewie is the genius and Brian is the best friend companion.…

Your two examples are from a couple of the worst handled franchises though. Neither of which are produced by the company that created them.

Funny, I read a lot of Spider-man in the 90's. By a lot I mean I bought every comic that had Spider-man or a Spider-man character in it. I started buying back issues from antique stores and the cheap ones at the comic shop in my town and I eventually got to the one where they unmasked Hobgoblin and it was Ned and,…

Seeing as how this is based on some random thought that a WB executive said, I'm not sure there's much worth debating here. I would like to hope that she'll be more of an Easter egg sort of inclusion and not some background player in the plot line. More just a nod. But the guy isn't even saying she would be included.…

They're also thinking about money first when they decided to make the Man of Steel sequel be a Batman vs Superman story, instead of further establishing Superman and rebooting Batman. It's what executives do, their job is to think about money, and at the very least, they're considering Wonder Woman as the legitimate…

Haven't hurt anyone? They were controlling and manipulating humanity the whole time they've been on Earth. They're like the alien version of big bankers. Plus, it's the idea that you're being controlled or enslaved by an unseen force. They weren't predators, so the threat seems innocuous, but it is a threat.

The Silence weren't really scary on screen because they didn't kill or attack anyone we cared about. They showed them time and again just standing there, not attacking or anything. What it did do a good job of is giving you that fearful sense that you were missing something, that there's a threat and you don't know…

The real question is can Thanos pull off Vin Diesel.

but also to have an amazingly powerful female superhero.

I'd like to believe that Disney wouldn't meddle in Marvel's business, since they haven't really so far, same goes for the Star Wars stuff, everything I've read has been around the idea that Disney bought the stadium, bought a new ball and gave it to Marvel (and Lucas respectively) to run with. But you're probably…

I've often entertained the idea of buying a laserdisc player just to get the non-special edition, widescreen, versions of the Star Wars trilogy. Nowadays the movies themselves would cost more than the actual player. What's funny is that I can download and watch just about every movie, tv show, or made for tv movie…

The VO guy and the broadcast graphics guy had a bitter rivalry.

They just need to spruce it up a bit with some added cg effects and an updated edit. Call it the Special Edition ad. Good as new then.

I always wondered what was considered 'cheesy effects' back then. They're all so cheesy by today's standards. Even the great effects from good movies back then are grossly outmatched by the worst movies that come out today.
