That looks like a Katamari of every single piece of sci-fi and fantasy produced over the past 60 years. He’s not even being clever and trying to hide it...not that Snyder has ever been subtle, but that was beyond the pale blatant.

We never wanted it to be a [Star Wars film].” [...]“We learned so much working with superheroes. [Rebel Moon] is more science fantasy than sci-fi.”

At first, I thought the Drider was the Borg Queen from First Contact. 

Musk is a good money man and a decent engineer..

Hell’s teeth, I didn’t know any of that. That’s a genuine shame.

I’m sitting here trying to reconcile Elon saying that the block feature isn’t useful and is being deleted with him then blocking anyone who says he shouldn’t do that. I think I just had a stroke. 

I wonder if he was aware that his protagonist was mostly just being used by another character? That seems awfully meta. (Caviezel could not remember any of his lines, so in many scenes where he’s having a conversation, the other actors likely have cue cards with his dialogue taped to their chests, especially if…

I have lived in America for 20 + years (having grown up in the UK and spent most of my life in Europe). Believe me when I say there are NO left-wingers in the United States. ZERO. There are a few slightly left of center progressives, but for the most part it’s fascists, extreme right wingers, right wingers, and right…

I’m sure all the American right wingers that you talk with are a lot more hospitable to your shitty fucking views, and so maybe don’t seem violent to you, but if you direct your attention to the article posted literally right after this one, you might find that describing “American left wingers” as crazy and violent…

Counterpoint: Thor: Ragnarok is a top-five MCU movie and has the most perfect use of humor in the franchise.

Friendly reminder to all that reflexively blaming the Democrats for literally not being perfect is something a GOP consultant came up with.

That show was amazing and the “what is their plan?” “where is earth?” mystery box crap was the least important part of the series.

As with many io9 articles that seemingly come out of nowhere with “let’s be positive about this thing”, $$$ likely involved.

*sigh* It does not matter how far it is, it is an adaptation. I am sure you would also scream about West Side Story not being Romeo and Juliet as well. 

It might also be the fact that it’s just not a very good show. Not having seen any of season 2, I can’t comment on the elements that are new. But in season 1 the good parts were Empire plotline and Lee Pace, the production design, and there were some hints of interesting stuff to come with the Demerzel subplot. The…

Never, everyone just loves to skip over the important context that Gunn has said he’s open to it being a transplant into his DCU since it’s essentially standalone as it is. As of right now, though, that’s not the case and will entirely depend on how it performs and if there’s any demand for more.

So yes, for the first time ever Star Wars fans—at least in the United States—will very easily be able to watch the show, in real time, all together, at a reasonable hour, six hours earlier than all the other Star Wars shows had been debuting over the past four years.

VOD means high quality pirate copies will be available almost immediately afterword. Not that I’d know anything about that.

Lost in all this is the fact that a large percentage of people that are watching this, have never read the books and maybe played Witcher3, so the show is likely considered by many, who don’t have a vested interest in the books.

I want to know what people mean when they demand creatives “MUST respect the source material” because honestly I reject the idea that anyone adapting a creative works should have to do that. In fact, there’s lots of examples where deviating from source materials have led to better works.
