“The Westview Vision is more real than the abomination Haywood has finally reassembled and powered with Wanda’s own magic.”

If Luthor was in WITSEC, or Brainiac was living on Earth in human disguise, they would be John Harrison.

“But, really, all you need to say is Superman, Coates, and Abrams, and it’s hard to not get excited.”

They being J.J. Abrams, and then continuing out after his Star Trek reboot.

One has to wonder why, since they recreated the green car from Action Comics #1 did they not also use the original shield colors of red on yellow instead of red on black with yellow trim. Or was it yellow on yellow?

WOW, I must have really not been paying attention to this before that bit got my attention... I still think it is going to be terrible in color or B&W, but I am sure I will watch it at least once.

“which will culminate in the March 18 release of Zack Snyder’s Justice League, a four-hour, black and white completion of a project Snyder left in 2017"

WOW, thank you! Clearly your theory is the right one. I watched the ep twice, and I was trying to figure out why her being a witch makes her mind quiet... did she use a psi-blocking spell? NO! She is the only one, or one of the few in Westview, that isn’t being controlled. Oi.

Seems like Spectrum to me... and she was wearing a uniform consistent with her comic uniform save for the S.W.O.R.D. emblem instead of the usual star-like symbol.

Wouldn’t this seem to indicate that a bear is trapped in the well of this person’s outhouse?!?

My interest in a TV show or movie falls by about 90%, in direct relation to having been informed that JJ Abrams is “attached” to said project. That is also true when I learn that a project is helmed or written by someone in his usual group of collaborators.
I come across something that sounds promising, interesting…

So is the core group of kids on Strange Things, going to have graduated high school by now?

They believe that winning and being in power is more important than truth, a functioning government that works for the people, or the continued existence of humans on the planet, and that they are all going to go to heaven no matter what evil they do. That philosophy keeps working for them, cyclically.

Except the shows you site were generally fictional situations. It was the personality of the star that the show incorporated around, not their actual life story. The only part of I Love Lucy that was similar was that Lucille Ball married a Cuban, nothing else about the situation mirrored their actual lives. On…

I have been literally exhausted by the elevation of narcissistic, self-promoting, pseudo-reality / reality blurring, selfie/influencer, cult of personality cultural ideal that continues to get more entrenched (and has frankly become dangerous). The very idea that Baby Boomers / “Boomers” were also nicknamed the Me…

I like the Rock, it’s would be difficult not to like the Rock, and the show looks funny and heartwarming, yet it is creating bile in my mouth.

Yes, I remember watching it when it originally ran.

Wanda and Pietro grew up on a diet of American TV...

LOLOLOL! You are being sarcastic, no? I would say Star Trek is just as bad as off as SW, since Abrams got hold of it. ST:D and Picard are pretty garbage shadows of itself, with no rhyme or reason for half of what goes on, having completely ditched it’s own philosophies and continuity.

I am embarrassed that I used to watch him, not that he wasn’t funny, but old clips of him being cringey keep being dredged up (they aren’t really missing, just forgotton), and he was also pretty awful, in so many ways.
