Or just set it in the 19th century!

Today it's absurd, but setting the story in the 19th century, it's really no more absurd than any other fantastical premise we entertain for things set in the 19th century. The book is gore porn, to some extent - Prendick stumbling into the operating room, Moreau's descriptions of his experiments, the entire reason…

I understand why they use gene tampering, but it's misguided. Not only is it antiseptic and inconsequential compared to the idea (and the imagery) of hacksawing animals to bits, sewing them back together, and hanging them from the ceiling to heal...combining animal DNA with human DNA undercuts the very satire you're…

I really hope they go back to the novel and forget about gene tampering. It is 400% scarier when he's just cutting animals to pieces and putting them back together again in a new shape.

If the Sensorites are telepathic, wouldn't you be able to tell when another is lying?

Blown up by a car??? Not brutally shot to death by the bad guys? Is this whole movie going to be that "safe"?

One wonders if it's not the audience of DC that is more conservative, but the editorial management there.

Does the DC readership skew considerably less liberal than the Marvel readership? DC keeps balking at the prospect of doing things that Marvel pulled off successfully years ago.

The Top o' th' Mornin' Show with John Oliver

Do they decommission animals on the carousel when we finally finish off their species?

Do we think it's a coincidence that the song in the short starts with this melody, or that there's some significance to it?

It's grindr, though...

Is there a reason that you're assuming she's doing this "instead of" rather than "in addition to"?

It doesn't sound like that, though.

From a number of violent fan reactions over the years, I think the studios are making a pretty just presumption. Unfortunately, they have the opportunity to shrug off the lowest common denominator and challenge them to keep up. But then they don't.

Fine. Neo-Tokyo.

Because apparently Americans wouldn't have identified with it.

Americans, who loved the original, Japanese Akira enough to warrant an Americanized Remake.

It'd have been cool if they stuck even closer and made the movie take place in Tokyo with Japanese characters.
