MoS II = Justice League, leaves almost zero room for further character development and all those scenes the fanboys promised us of the Man of Steel actually saving and rebuilding Metropolis.

If Jean had returned as a recurring big bad, it might have been interesting, but they went all over the place and gave the Phoenix force to just about everybody in the Marvel universe except the Yancy street gang.

Obi-Wan was not supposed to die, but they left a door open to keep Guinness appear in subsequent films. The whole "more powerful" thing never works in the films because Lucas had no clue how to pull that off (he was making it up as he went along, he was like the Cylons, claiming to have a plan, but no clue as to…

Most ancient cultures didn't have Facebook, TV and Hollywood gossip mags to keep them busy. Studying the motion of all those strange lights was one thing to do aside from working on the land, husbanding animals, or going to war. Give people a few centuries worth of observations and they accumulate some pretty amazing…

We can assume the Veterans took over with noble motives, but what would happen if some of the future generations of veteran descendants felt that power belonged to them exclusively ? They might rig the system, for those of citizen (Patrician) background and those who aren't. After a while you'd get castes, with some…

We had a Citroen Dyane, a kind of upmarket "luxury" version of the 2CV. Very practical and thanks to its suspension it would keep going on icy roads where your average Merc and Volvo was trying to kill you if you dared touch the accelerator. It died one lonely night and was replaced by a Lada.

A year or two ago I witnessed an accident with a cream DS, the DS tried to cross a junction just as a SEAT got green light and hit in the right flank, making a 180° after the collision while the DS ended up against a concrete wall ... Nobody was injured, but I always wondered what happened to the DS afterwards.

I've seen other cars in SF series and movies. The Citroen AMI was featured in a series about a family lost in an alternative dimension.

We could have had a great scene where Clark uses his speed and powers to save people during a tornado and not be seen. Something for the FX guys to chew on and when he comes home and tell his dad he'd find Martha in tears and she would tell Clark that Jonathan went to help some neighbours and he was accidentally…

I think they didn't do it because they were afraid that people might think they borrowed "The Blur" from Smallville. If MoS had one particular quality it is a sense of absolute dread not to repeat anything previous Superman incarnations for fear that it would jinx the new Warner/DC cinematic universe. "Doesn't…

I watched MOS the other day and I fully understand what they tried to do and there is nothing in the material or the actors at fault, it's just a piss poor badly written script. I put better things on paper when I wipe my butt ...

Not another miracle weapon that would automatically win the war ... There are some definite advantages to new technology, but despite popular belief none ever really won a war single-handedly. Steel didn't automatically win the battle, neither did gunpowder, the machinegun, poison gas, quick-firing guns, assault…

Currently Hollywood feels like a bunch of frenzied squirrels on caffeine who will dash about madly looking for that feature that will magically draw audiences to the cinema. "Look, they blew up a city !", "Braaaam ! Braaaaam ! We need more Braaaaaam !", "More destruction porn !", "Every main protagonist must be a…

I remember rolling my eyes when I watched the opening of the recent Mamoa Conan flick ... talk about missing the point altogether by having Conan of all people save the world !

I just wish that some people would stop mistaking "Dark and Gritty" for "Improved" or worse "Infinitely better" It's just a style of storytelling, not some magical process that will put more bums on seats. Some stories don't need to be "grittified" period.

SenZar is an interesting case, because if you take away the Beavis and Butthead-style juvenile writing and the completely over the top setting, it has one of the better D20 systems ever made. It certainly worked better and was more logical than AD&D ...
