James Gunn seems like a stand-up kind of guy. I can’t imagine that he wouldn’t give The Suicide Squad his full attention through its completion. It’s probably because Warner/DC swiftly hired him with no negative public outcry that Marvel/Disney likely turned around and said to itself, “wait, why did we fire that guy?”…

If Miller’s holding deal expires in May, then I wouldn’t be a bit surprised to see WB just run out the clock and recast. I am also wondering if they are skittish about having a feature film and a TV series with the same main character running at the same time. I know that they have a “same but different” policy…

Well, if the season 2 premiere is any indication, going forward the show is going to be a lot more literal and a lot less dreamlike and mysterious. Whatever problems Bryan Fuller causes, I have yet to see any of the shows he has worked on (that I have seen) improve after he leaves. I’ll stay for Ian McShane, but I…

There are plenty of real-life cultures who revere “warrior heroes” so to speak —including our own. Humans, if you haven’t noticed, are a warring people. There have been many American War Heroes throughout history. They get medals and sometimes are elected to Congress or the Senate. This is not a concept that is…

He was played by Eddie McClintock in season 2. It was one of the episodes where Jamie Alexander guest starred as Lady Sif, but it turned out that he was in disguise as a human, and was really blue. They seem to have stuck with the idea that the Kree are all blue on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. so far

I the back of my mind I had always kind of hoped that this would happen, but I would never have bet on it. I feel a little less cynical today, which is always a good thing.

I think that after DC failed to create an interconnected MCU-style narrative with their earlier films, that they are now trying to differentiate themselves from Marvel by proclaiming that all of their films are now just standalone stories, unconnected from the larger narrative. They will probably do this until they…

. . . Disney had designs on purchasing 20th Century Fox in order to regain the cinematic rights to a number of Marvel characters . . .

I don’t think it matters that much. Her appearance in the Elseworlds crossover was actually kind of brief in the general scheme of things, and I don’t think that an entire Batwoman series really needs to address it much at all until it’s time for Crisis on Infinite Earths.

I say this as someone who really enjoyed the movie and will probably catch it again soon, but it has one flaw that probably can’t be overcome: We all know almost everything about Carol Danvers before she does —even if you aren’t steeped in Marvel lore. All of the pre-publicity has told us about Carol if you didn’t…

I can’t really argue with much of the criticism of Jim Lee’s taste for costume design —or re-design as the case may be—but when it comes to his artistic style, or Alex Ross’s as well, doing the same thing over and over just means more and more gorgeously rendered or painted artwork. How can you complain about that? You…

I think that there was a presumption on the part of FOX that interest in Another X-Men Character combined with interest in any Channing Tatum movie would have been enough to make Gambit a safe bet. At this point, however, Tatum’s box office clout may be a bit lighter than it was 5 years ago. He hasn’t been terribly…

(What can we say? Once upon a time we were all really excited to watch Ben Kingsley fight Robert Downey Jr.!)

Do I even need to see it now? It seems like the trailer basically just showed me the entire movie.

I’m fine with Viola Davis coming back, too, but if he wants to go all-new from there, then I’m good.

I ain’t mad at this. Not one bit.

Your #1 & #2 kind of fall under the umbrella of #3, no?

. . . given that a number of the show’s other stars departed amidst the drama. . .

The worlds of Riverdale and Sabrina are immune to the concept of “on the nose”. They start at “a bit much” or “a hat on a hat” and go on and on from there.

I mean, it’s kind of in keeping with the whole Deadpool concept, no?
