I love this show, and I particularly love how it’s described as “extra kid-friendly” when there are episodes which, for example, extol the virtues of being a predatory landlord...

The current Captain America run (the one focussed on Steve, rather than Sam) just introduced M.O.D.O.C. - the Mental Organism Designed Only for Control - and actually brought some of the menace back (so far, anyway).

There’s a bitter, bitter irony in right-wingers spending so much time ranting about how everyone else is out there bearing “the mark of the beast” when they proudly wear the sign of who they’ve sold their souls to on their lapel.

Counterpoint: no, it doesn’t. It looks like something Adam Driver signed up for ages ago, before he got big, and is now stuck doing due to contractual obligations.

I would say “Moonbase 8" was the best of them... but I was honestly surprised how much heart that “Space Force” developed in the second season, and how saddened I was when it wasn’t renewed. I was actively rooting for those characters during S2.

I’m going to wait until I can see the full cut of this tweet before I make up my mind.

I like this. It’s fun.

Personally, I wouldn’t have changed a thing but... we’ll see! Change isn’t always bad, and 100% faithfulness to the source material is no guarantee of a good adaptation either.

To be fair, it might not be an issue in the overall scheme of things - depends on how they handle it, and what else they do with the film (which I still have high hopes for!).

One major plot point has been reworked in the narrative’s latter half in the interests of mainstream cinematic taste—arguably for the best—but it signals a cascading effect on the events of the third act that somewhat undermines the novel’s greatest strength: ambiguity.

I liked it, including the ending, if that helps?

Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn... I tell you what.

My take on all this - which the world is clearly salivating for - is that I love the sound of some of these (Creature Commandos looks a lot of fun, and I guess is going to be a great vehicle for Jeffrey Dean Morgan - love me some Midnighter (and Apollo) so I’m all in for The Authority - and the same for Swamp Thing -

I voted for ol’ Juggy because I’m a sucker for a good face-turn (especially if it sticks) and vice-versa. Plus I really liked him in the last X-series before the Krakoa era began, and would like to see him return to that as part of the main “crew” (also, I really enjoyed his recent, albeit brief, solo series).

I am pretty sure it was “leaked” that Doom Patrol was ending this season ages ago, alongside the revelation that the last episode was going to be the eponymous one. I even recall talking about it with other people.

Thank you for reminding me what it was called!

I loved this movie - it is going to be part of my regular Christmas rotation for the rest of my life - but I am not entirely sure it needs a sequel, which might end up losing some of the magic.

Even Musk couldn’t fuck that up, surely?

Yeah, this was a great issue. And not just because it was great to see the shoe finally drop with Sinister.

There’s only one real answer.
