I am stoked. Lenore Zann was my Rogue growing up, and I am thrilled to be getting her back.

Oh wow, hard disagree.

Re: awful to work with ala Grant Gustin - source?

Harry Potter would’ve really benefited from the extra amount of screentime afforded by a tv show, even though it probably would’ve been nowhere near as high-profile at the time (when such a thing would’ve been unthinkable).

I would love for them to shift focus to Nebula, who is a much more interesting character, and just forget Star-Lord ever existed. But I already know it’s not going to happen.

I freaking love this game. I know it tends to get a lot of flack/be overlooked both because it had to follow the first (which set a high bar) and it repeated history of releasing in the shadow of a phenomenon (Breath of the Wild, then Elden Ring).

That’s funny - Star-Lord is literally the first person I would’ve named.

I mean, the Academy has increasingly struggled to recognize comedy. I have no doubt a lot of the prestige drama picks (like Oppenheimer and Killers of the Flower Moon) are deserving. But I do get the impression that’s part of the problem here.

He didn’t leave Apple because he was bad at his job. He parted ways with Apple because they didn’t want him criticizing China and AI.

I demand more Matt Murdock/Jessica Jones!

Hot take: I think Iron Fist was a bit underrated.

I am sad for you that you cannot appreciate what a joyful movie it is.

Um, excuse me - Search for Spock is a wonderful movie that is wildly underrated and only dismissed because it’s an odd-numbered film.

There’s a difference between planning-it-out-in-advance and seat-of-your-pants writing. Both have value; neither is inherently better than the other. The idea that something needs to be all pre-planned with no room for the other is creatively stifling. A lot of great writing has happened because something happened by…

I’ve dipped my toes into prestige tv, but by and large it isn’t my thing. I have no problem with it existing - what I dislike is this idea that now suddenly everyone has to behave like its prestige tv.

Oof, SNW is just so *crowded.* On top of the main cast, they have Sam and Jim Kirk, Spock’s mother, T’Pring, Pelia, Batel..now they’re introducing even more of the TOS cast.

To which rule? Of having more episodes? Of having to work within a budget?

I would also add to the argument that the current model is bad for creativity. Everything has to be planned out with surgical precision, and there’s no room (or time allotted) for chasing the unplanned and the unexpected.

That’s not a counterpoint. It’s just evidence of an entirely different problem where networks hold onto a show long past the point of expiration because once upon a time it was a hit.

Community often operated on a budget and let us know it. Community knew it could lock its main cast plus a guest star in a room for 20+ minutes and spin gold.
