A good Nicolas Cage movie... To throw the balance off again.

That’s my 3rd favorite Superman! (Christopher Reeve, then Routh, then him).

I’m annoyed because Danny showed in Luke Cage S2 to literally say, “Dude, you don’t have to do this alone. You have friends.” And yet, here’s Danny, seriously outclassed, and not asking Luke or Jessica for help. “Hey, Luke, you know how I helped out with that thing? Yeah, I lost the Fist and Davos has it and I need

The books are more explicit about it. In the game you can sort of ignore a lot of the background if you want (I generally don’t). In the books, the racial overtones are very direct. Although, arguably, they’re all just about power dynamics. I don’t mind casting for diversity, but I would suggest that perhaps they

I also loved Bucky and Sam in the car in Civil War, and in their fight with Peter. OK, Marvel. You showed up spy movies, heists, war movies, action flicks... I want a buddy comedy next.

Marvel needs more buddy road movies, really. Bucky and Falcon. Valkyrie and Okoye. Shuri and Peter Parker. Get him a real tech wiz as a mentor.

To be fair, Black Widow and Hawkeye are the only Avengers without their own solo films. Sure, she was a huge part of Cap 2, but she should be able to have her own film. As for why an ensemble and not solo movies...

Her?

I’d hope so. It’s odd to me that someone would be a Geralt fanboy, but apparently misunderstand Superman so completely (or is just willing to take the check to play him so wrongly at the director’s insistence).

Poorly phrased. “Netflix, your business has serious structural problems and you need to stop acting like a 21 year old on a bender.” That’s more accurate.

Short version: Netflix has cash on hand at the moment, but with the creation of Disney streaming and their increasingly difficult time getting access to existing content, Netflix’s source of revenue is going to dry up. There are structural problems to Netflix’s current business model that they need to address, and

Maybe his emotionally dead, flat, presentation will be OK for this. But... No. I’m pissed. Netflix, you don’t have a ton of cash. Get an unknown for this rather than Cavill. This isn’t a good thing, and makes it more likely that this series will never happen.

GOD DAMN IT! WHY CAN’T I HAVE NICE THINGS?!

I’d say that Iron Fist S1 is better than Legends S1, worse than Supergirl S1 or Arrow S1 or Flash S1. It’s not the eye cancer than so many say it is. It’s just... OK. And I think people wanted “Amazing,” and thought “OK” was trash by comparison.

The closest you can kind of get is buying the content you want, a la carte. Not streaming. Literally buying plastic discs, or, maybe, buying it on something like Amazon. I think that’s what keeping long-term subscriptions at bay at the moment, is that they made the long term strategic mistake of getting people used to

Yes.

Oh, FFS. WRT people trying to tank Ellis’s relationship with PBS, the possible positive outcome of all of this is that given how hard Disney screwed the pooch on knee jerk firing James Gunn that other people are going to basically ignore similar efforts going forward. Alan Horn’s going to be looked at as a piss-poor

When Marvel killed of Peter Parker in the Ultimate Universe, I hated it because he was the only decent person in their entire universe. The only heroic hero, as a rule. And I had to contend with the fact that this meant that it was hard to express that without also sounding like the trolls of “You can’t have a black

I get it, but I also think that they should have other folks in the Legends from time to time as crossovers. The series is the easiest one for them to have a one-off where they meet up with Oliver or Barry or one of their other characters.

What I was getting at was more that some fans don’t like TLJ for a lot of reasons that end up boiling down to “There’s girls and stuff and the girl in Star Wars is just supposed to be a spunky princess side-character, not the Jedi.” Or “Storm Troopers are all supposed to be clones of Jango Fett, so we can’t have a
