I don't know how that's weird. There are apparently thousands of Pokemon, and kids who know the names and powers of every single one of them.

The recent Star Trek movie clearly ripped off the "music immediately destroys the villain" ending.

I don't know… it's my experience that the people who held that theory were in the majority. The ones in denial felt more like conspiracy theorists. Like those "Disney is paying reviewers to give Marvel movies good reviews!" people.

Well, to be fair they didn't have that… and I think the spectre of "Batman & Robin" was still looming over the entire superhero genre. Going too cheesy would've drawn comparisons.

It had the best portrayal of Dr. Doom, surprisingly.

Roger Ebert also wrote a positive review for a Garfield movie… in character as Garfield!

I checked out the solicitations and apparently it's Phantom Girl. I don't know if this makes her a younger Phantom Lady or an update to the Phantom Girl from the Legion of Super-Heroes. (The color palette suggests the latter, but everyone's styling the new Mr. Terrific color template.)

Huh. Shouldn't Firestorm be on that roster?

Kung Fu Panda and its sequels are not that bad.

"Wahhhhh! Rick-eeeeee! I want to be in the Lucy movie!"

They probably felt it was too cheesy … even though the core team has a stretchy guy and a rock monster. See also: why Galactus was a cloud of nanites or something.

Their biggest misstep was Doctor Doom… and seriously how do you screw that up so badly?

Fold them into the MCU and have them be the buyers to the Stark Tower that was being sold off in the Spider-Man: Homecoming movie!

Haruo showed again and again how nature points out the folly of man.

Shoot, Marvel just release that awesome disco video for "Guardians Inferno," and I am immensely saddened knowing Pratt is inside that dumb robot outfit.

Shoot, there's a Criterion edition for Armageddon.

I don't know if it's exclusive to White people. This sounds exactly like something my very Asian dad would say.

You know… for some reason my wife watched OUTCAST, and I caught the last bit of it. Nic Cage is only in it for a while, but it's GREAT. He has a terrible, totally inscrutable accent, and he's stumbling around like a drunk homeless man. Plus, Hayden Christensen is in it and he goes full Jedi. It's wonderful.

Shoot, even Transformers went that route, what with the Quintessons. Someone at Hasbro was way into Lovecraft.
