More or less. The DVDs haven't been in print for years and you won't find much/anything about it on the official site. I assume that is at least partially due to it being farmed out to Tartakovsky and Cartoon Network rather than being an in-house project like Filoni's show.

Yeah, I didn't want to believe it for a while, both because it seemed so bonkers to me and because the initial announcement about the EU-to-Legends transition was vague enough that it could have gone either way, but they've apparently committed to the idea that Genndy's show isn't canon. Actually, Lucasfilm these days…

It's not the Terrigen that kills humans; it's the material of which the Diviners are constructed.

Except Raina was actually telling the truth, wasn't she? At the very least, she presumably wouldn't have murdered Gonzales if she'd been the one holding the meeting.

I agree that Coulson appearing could have been a distraction, but the big helicarrier rescue easily could have included any other members of his team. Even if they were just in the background, it would have at least been a tacit admission by the movie side that the TV side also counts.

More than anything else, wiping out Mara kind of breaks my heart.

Did they ever have any?

Have you actually seen the new film referred to anywhere official as Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens? While they won't actually drop them from the opening titles, they're clearly downplaying the episode number for exactly that reason.

Yeah, I know. And I'm not defending them against all criticism, just the two issues I mentioned. As for standing on their own without ever having seen the original films, I can only offer this one anecdote:

Well, the sentence I quoted makes no reference to good guys. Yes, there are a handful of politicians in the movies that are supposed to be good at heart and well meaning (Amidala, Organa), but they're almost completely ineffectual regarding anything that really matters. Or they actually manage in their incompetence to…

Sure, why not?

I had all of those, except for the fancy rare ones.

I take issue with a couple of the criticisms in this piece regarding the prequels. First, I just don't get the notion that they lack a sense of place. While Kamino is perhaps the strangest and most immediately intriguing world of those movies, I think they offered a pretty solid sense of what life was like on such…

Possibly the worst name for a piece of clothing in the English language. Anyone know the etymology on that one?

So? No, I'm serious. He created them, he paid for them, he got to do what he wanted and only what he wanted. If many people didn't like what he made, so what? He never owed any of us anything. I can never fault an artist for presenting their work in the manner and form they desire, even if I think their vision for the…

Monica Rambeau was the first character I ever knew of who went by the name Captain Marvel, even before Shazam. The Avengers were also the first superhero team I really knew, before the Justice League, the X-Men or the Fantastic Four, and Captain Marvel was their leader at the time. I'd be quite pleased for her to have…

Loved that exchange, along with Steven's reply when Barb shows up with the (junk) mail.

I enjoyed the episode, but I did feel that it runs counter to how Greg fell for Rose Quartz at first sight. Some mixed messages there.

Yeah, she was listed as Barb in the credits.

Being structurally conventional and employing genre cliches is not the same thing as being designed by committee.
