I would like to see a brother-sister movie with Anya Taylor-Joy as Magik and Stefan Kapičić as Colossus.  I think that would be heart-warming!

The costume reminds me a lot of the 1940's animated serials.

...especially since the characters in that book are basically cardboard cutouts. With a nice helping of mid-century misogyny!

All we need now is a Prisoner of Zenda remake!

Does anybody find it strange that we have episodes with twin-switcheroo plots in two of the biggest TV shows currently airing, mere days from each other?  I’m thinking of this and House of the Dragon.  I guess it’s just one of those zeitgeist things.

It could still have been one of the witches, in spite of the male coding. Remember how Taskmaster was handled in Black Widow...

Gunn has built his reputation on ensemble movies.  Let’s give the kid a chance!

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Helaena is Aegon’s wife and not Aemond’s.  She’s not married to both her brothers, is she?  I guess it’s not out of the question for Targaryens.

Has everybody forgotten about the red lightsaber-wielding person at the end of the first episode?  This person almost certainly has something to do with the attack, and because their identity is concealed, we can deduce that it’s one of the characters we’ve seen so far, in disguise.  Any guesses?

The level of detail has just gotten insane.  I wonder what Hugh Jackman’s dentist thinks of this.

I watched this show and found the characters interesting enough and the story compelling enough to tune in next week...but jesus, this dialogue. The dialogue in this show is so bad, so trite, and so cliché.  I cannot believe it passed muster at any level.  What happened here??  Am I the only one who feels this way?

Did you watch Tales of the Jedi?  That might be as good as we ever get.

Bombadil interacting with The Stranger is not too exciting, but Bombadil interacting with Sauron?  Now that might be something.

She creates life out of a rotten man who did nothing but destroy lives of those around him.

Have you never Hollywooded?

I haven’t seen a single movie in the theaters more than once since ticket prices topped $8 apiece. The studio exec saying this is completely out of touch with modern reality.

Why don’t they just pop up a little box when someone references another movie or show, with the text “* See Captain America #3—Ed.”

Hell, it’s 2024 -- they could probably hyperlink to the appropriate content.

some Eltingville-level mush-brainedness

This is silly. A movie where there’s only one star, and no co-stars? So the only dialogue is where the main character talks to himself? You could maybe do this for the first act, but pretty quickly the main character would recognize the need (as most human beans would) that he needs other people to relate to. What…

The only way this could be any sillier is if they threw Winnie the Pooh and Steamboat Willie into the mix.
