Heartily recommend The Investigation - A Danish (for obvious reasons) adaptation of the Kim Wall case. The murderer is never once depicted, heard or even named throughout the entire series and it starts when the police open the case - no flashbacks.

Go in to about 2.40 for the meat of it.

He absolutely did - pretty much licked his lips with relish - and literally invaded the Crimea so he could ride a horse, which seemed very much more Sontaran than catalytic converter based invasion plans.

I’d like to second this comment.

And, not knowing enough about it myself, I went to the Marvel Wiki. Loki needed to earn the sword by unlocking a vault locked with 5 keys - I’d say his progress in the series has covered a lot of this:

It feels like a missed opportunity not letting Kevin Wada loose on what’s basically the mutant Met Ball, I mean, just look at his Wic/Div fashion stuff:

Me too - apparently Millar just told them to do what they wanted as they only had the first issue availableto base it on and he didn’t care, particularly.

Mate, you’re talking to a Glaswegian, I’m aware. Having that next to Doctor Who Monthly on the shelf of Forbidden Planet is a bit of a take, though.

Oh, I tried and gave up very early on. Anyone who calls their magazine CLINT because they can make rude words with kerning needs to grow up.

To be honest, I’m hoping they keep with Frank Quietly’s look and rewrite Millar’s stuff so it’s less like his usual misogynistic bullshit - his Kick Ass was much, much worse than the film; his Kingsman a paper-thin idea and his Wanted was drivel with the characters drawn to match his idea of stunt casting.

Dare I dream?

I’m not sure it’s an easier message if the public CHOOSE to be led by fascists rather than the any-port-in-a-storm attitude of a post-apocalyptic scarcity situation. In the US, UK and Brazil right wing populists have walked into office with no sign of a crisis to jusstify a hard-line stance.

Fair enough, but that doesn’t change the subject matter being fascism, only how the fascists took control. And it still doesn’t make it about Bush - hell, the film literally talks about how screwed America is after another civil war, then ignores it utterly.

The graphic novel is a damning indictment of Thatcherism and the film changes very little of that aspect of it. Maybe fascists are just fascists wherever and whenever they are?

I do love me some Ex Machina, but wasn’t there a strong suspicion that Dredd was pretty much only directed by Pete Travis in name alone?

Seconded.

So, now we’re getting Batman as some sort of Oedipal St. Sebastian? Like, deep man.

Loving Wandavision but what I’m really hoping for now is that we’re getting the basis for a Young Avengers series. We’ve got Hawkeye already cast, Wiccan’s been introduced and it wouldn’t be beyond the realms of possibility to have Loki transformed into Kid Loki at the end of his series.
