I wouldn’t necessarily describe it as “full speed ahead.”

Really more that KJA was just notoriously a work for hire author who spent the 90s churning out forgettable tie-in novels for whatever franchise was popular that week.

...and Kevin J. Anderson (who is an outstanding SciFi author).

I think they have more directions they can go. Because, I’d argue that the Andor way is still the way they’ve been going... just better. It’s an expansion of an existing corner of the galaxy.

Mostly, but I don’t think any of the things you mentioned really went far enough.

I don’t doubt Lussier’s sincerity, he’s an open-hearted fan. And sometimes I think he has the right idea and people like me (sometimes) ask too much of this kind of content.

I feel like the biggest thing I learned from this article is that Star Wars Insider is still a thing.

If I had a dime for every time I’ve had to wrap up a fight that way.

I still can’t believe I saw the completely unedited version of “the scene” for the first time on Comedy Central in the mid 90s.

I can’t disagree with this ranking.  Though I’d probably put Birds of Prey a little higher.  Probably the most fun I’ve had with a modern DC movie apart from Shazam!

Kind of like “The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles”.

I’m not sure he’s physically up for that.

This still appears to be the case, which makes it hilarious when you hear comics publishers lamenting the fact that even though the movies earn hundreds of millions of dollars none of that is boosting the comics’ readership.

Finding an entry point that doesn’t require knowning tons of lore is inappropriately hard and once you miss a special event, you’re out again.

I know there was the one where Professor X was in his vegetative brother’s body. I think there was one with a Mr. Sinister tease. They haven’t stuck with me either, but whatever was out there always seemed to never get explained or actually lead to anything.

I feel like Disney+ was the worst thing to happen to Disney.

Were any of the X-men post credits scenes ever followed up on?  Looking back, I think there’s something quaint about all the false teases.

It’s Kravin’ time! Is...is that anything?

2. There’s a behind the scenes featurette on the DVD showing all the PRACTICAL PUPPETS AND SUITS THEY MADE FOR THE MONSTERS. And then they decided to SCRAP ALL OF IT and went with CG. Talk about a kick in the fucking teeth.
