IIRC, she did it to gain somewhat eternal life, and to get stronger/more powerful in the mirror dimension. And it’s bad because such dark powers end up corrupting the soul at some point, which kind of makes her flawed (& hypocritical in blaming Kaecilius for doing the same thing), when she should be the wisest being…

Man, whether it’s here, avclub or on other websites (jammersreviews comes to mind), the constant whining about “find someone positive to review the show” and/or “stop complaining about the show/love it or leave it” is starting to get really tiring.

*reads the review*

Let’s never forget that despite the big names touted as producers & exec. prods on the show when it was first announced under Fuller, most of the current episodes are written by first-time tv writers and/or people coming from Off The Map, Revenge, Reign, Desperate Housewives, GCB & Heroes, showrunners included.

You know what annoys me more than any predictable storyline twist ? Episodes with 33 minutes of new content.

Just the fact that he had unexplained back wounds, slept with his phaser under his pillow and that his admiral ex-gf said something along the lines of “you’re not the same person anymore” or “I don’t recognize you anymore” was enough to send warning signals to my (admittedly bored by anything Burnham) brain.

Well, the french translation of Muggle as always been Moldu, ever since The Philosopher’s Stone, so I’m not sure where they’re going with that.

One of these days, people (and by people, I mean some Who fans) will finally understand that a lot of the things they blame & hate Moffat for were just him trying to work through the minefield that was, at times, BBC & its very strong views on what Who should be/appeal to.

I’m expecting the movie to be somewhere around Doctor Strange ($680M), box-office wise, maybe a few dozens millions more, depending on the reviews and on the domestic b-o.

What I meant to say is that he’s no Iron Man, Cap or Spidey. And Chadwick Boseman is far from being an household name with worldwide recognition.

Well, there’s no doubt in my mind that the US box office might be strong (esp. given the hype on black twitter, and so on), but i fear it won’t play that well worldwide, where the african-centric movie and the lack of an identifiable lead or main heroes might just limit its international reach.

Fantastic Four would work perfectly as a 50/60’s period piece that would dove tail nicely with Ant-man and the early days of the Avengers protocol.

Yup.

Think about it. This guy is a geek, just like us, and got the opportunity of a lifetime. He created something he was proud of, something Lucasfilm appreciated so much they gave him the keys to the kingdom, and a portion of fandom couldn’t wait to tell him how shitty they thought it was. To his (online) face.

Then again, modern stage magicians are rarely, if ever, wearing the tuxedo & top hat anymore, so I can see where this Zatanna is coming from : the same place Criss Angel & newer generations of illusionists comes from.

I really liked the vibe of the early relaunch, but as soon as Milligan got on board and did his own semi-reboot, it just went haywire, and the cancellation wasn’t a surprise.

“Cry havoc, and let slip the hounds tribbles of war !”

Lorca’s tribble isn’t dead. And he’s probably just there to scream at Voq/Tyler the second he enters Lorca’s office.

Seems pretty clear to me that the only reason they agreed to pay up Paltrow’s fee once more, and bring Pepper Back in Homecoming (with all the potential “wedding” setup) is because they have something big planned for her & Tony, as in “big dramatic scene when Tony sacrifices himself”, or something.

Ah, yes, Lifetime, the proud producers of Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever, aka the (crappy) movie where Aubrey Plaza’s voiceover mocks the viewer for watching a crappy Christmas movie, “but keep watching, it brings in the ad revenue, and you’re making us richer, moron”.
