oh man....are they really going to go down the path of “I bet the everyone wants to know why Jedis make their own light sabres, and THIS show is going to answer that age-old question.”

That means, unfortunately, we don’t see how or who figured this out. It just happens and a golden opportunity to advance the mythology is glossed over

I’m actually willing to give the TV aesthetic a pass. Ultimately it’s a TV show that I’m paying pennies for if I’m using other content on Disney+. At some point you have to figure out a way to make 8 hours ( or 10 or whatever) for something cheaper than a standard Sci-fi Effects laden movie.

Only if the episodes are a bit more standalone like the first season.

Do you really need a well known actor to play a character who spends all of his time in a Man in the Iron Man mask?

But isn’t that the exact definition of any “secret identity masked hero”? That’s basically a huge part of the first half of the Incredibles. The idea that THIS is the one thing that makes Batman “interesting” is pretty strange.

Yeah. From a creatives standpoint, it’s a good argument. But at some point, “we need to keep the studio open so you can do your original pet projects” it makes sense to let someone else “reimagine” a previous project for the financial stability of investing in the most risky new IP projects. A live-action Ratatouille…

Remember, Miracle on 34th Street is where we celebrate a man using an emotionally stunted child AND a senile old man with a psychosis just to get in the pants of his neighbor.

Orrrrr....people could stop trying to shoehorn common slang and situations from rom com and screwball comedy movies made 80 years ago as some sort of enlightened indictment. The NUMBER ONE trope of those movies are forcing a man and a woman into a awkward situations where one of them can’t leave, they eventually play…

Exactly.

Overall Wednesday is kind of a cute mashup of Harry Potter “high scholl hijinx” and Tim Burton tropes ( ala Miss Perigrine). But in the end it really kind of bugged me how they ruined the character. Wednesday, of all things, is “precise”, so having Wednesday do a Sherlock Holmes turn is a great a idea...except for…

There’s this whole concept of magical realism in story telling....where in the world you create there are fantastical elements that just exist. And generally, all stories usually have the main character being “special” in some way when compared to the world around them (the Heroes Journey and all of that)... To DEMAND…

( granted I know it’s just a cartoon, and Morph is a great marketing tool to show off other Marvel characters instantly, but work with me here...)

“Reboots” are nothing new in Hollywood. I wish people would just stop trying to pin start dates on them based on “recent biases”. A Christmas Carol has been rebooted infinitely number of times. The Judy Garland Wizard of Oz was something like the 4th or 5th filmed version of that story. The 90s had The Shadow, and The…

That seems like a really silly argument, because I don’t think it changes the quality of the movie ( so I would hardly call it the “biggest mistake”). The movie doesn’t become a masterpiece by knowing who he is beforehand, or becomes awful not knowing about it.

Yeah, the guy can change costumes in an instant by running at super sonic speed in a revolving door to save his girlfriend....but he clearly slowplays the situation when the badly photoshopped death beam appears over the city. WTH Supes?

He’s learned a lot from the time he spent in prison with Eddie Murphy.

How are ATV riders “taught”? Are there actually some states that make you pass some sort of driver’s test for ATVs? My sense has always been that most ATV riders fall into the same category of “taking a safety course before I buy a gun” is an infringement of my 2nd Amendment rights.

Heck, there’s a very popular walking path near to where I used to work and at lunch time if you went for a walk there you’d get swerved by high speed BICYCLISTS all decked out in racing spandex as if they were training for the Tour de France. 

Is the author one of those people who rear ends someone at an intersection and then gets out of the car screaming “This is your fault. I thought you were going to go through that yellow light!”
