I’ve already seen “Next Level”, as it was released in France last Wednesday. When I commented on it on Facebook, I actually used that very phrase, “more of the same”. Outside of the body swapping thing, which doesn’t result in anything significant, they haven’t really developed new jokes. It’s more extended DLC than a…

A sequel to his Watchmen series, which is itself a sequel to the Moore comic book. He’d like other writers to do the same to his story that he did to the original material. Shared universe, but each generation tries to subvert expectations. rather than doing a direct continuation.

Veidt won’t be in the next episode, which is centered on Angela experiencing the memories of her grandfather due to the drug she just took.

The old Marvel TV regime greenlit a few months ago a whole slate of adult animated shows for Hulu, with a crossover miniseries which is already part of the deal, The Offenders. It includes Howard the Duck (handled by Kevin Smith and Dave Willis) and M.O.D.O.K. (Patton Oswalt). Given the schedule for animation, the…

IG-11 mentioned that his central wiring harness was his critical area. The Mandalorian shot him in the head. So, it’s extremely likely that the character will return.

It isn’t even the worst project that tries to depict O.J. Simpson as innocent. There’s a completed feature film, Nicole & O.J., starring Boris Kodjoe (The Last Man on Earth) as O.J. and it looks like even more of a trainwreck than this one.

Until these final episodes, Tony still had a shot for, at least, some personal development, but he made some pretty definitive choices, which also mark the end of his therapy, as Dr. Melfi fires him as a patient.

The best thing to come out of Transparent was this eviscerating review of Jill Soloway’s book by a trans woman. She depicts Soloway as a clueless, privileged, self-centered writer, with enough eyebrow-raising quotes to power a small town for a year.

Robert Hunter also worked on several late-era Bob Dylan albums, as Dylan loved to have another writer to bounce on. He was involved in almost all the songs from Together Through Life in 2009.

The incident is based on an actual event that took place at the very same park in 1971. Two brothers, 10 and 7, took a baby, named Noah, while his mother was sunbathing. They brought him in a basement to “play” with him, and hit him with bricks. Even the cross is an actual detail, as they assumed they could bring him…

The plan was to release Daredevil, Jessica Jones, then Iron Fist and Luke Cage, and to put them all in The Defenders. As IF, which was instrumental to the Hand storyline, was delayed, they had to go forward with Luke Cage first, then with a second season of Daredevil which introduced The Punisher, but also relied on…

Legion wasn’t a Marvel TV show. It was presented “in association with Marvel Television”. FX developed it on their own, as the people in charge of the X-Men franchise at Fox (Lauren Schuler Donner, Simon Kinberg and Bryan Singer) were willing to give them this element from the wider X-Men universe to experiment with.…

I totally agree, and I don’t think that Perlmutter is the only reason for which these shows didn’t really work. If they had better writers, if they had dared to adapt Iron Fist into what they got at the end of S2, rather than a story that was progressive in the 70s but made Danny Rand another white savior in 2017,…

Just a reminder.

There’s a few incorrect details about the Dylan–Grossman–Pennebaker connection.

Say what you want about Damon Lindelof’s take, it’s still leagues (of extraordinary gentlemen) above Zack Snyder’s own answer about his Watchmen adaptation, the one that got him a chiding Moore retort.

Girlsdoporn even went a step further. If a girl was hesitating, they would put her in touch through texting or phone with some“reference girls”, supposedly women who had accepted shooting the video and had never experienced any problem afterwards (because it was for a few select Australian collectors), actually women…

Doom Patrol was a thing of beauty. It managed to be both batshit crazy, taking the weirdest ideas from Grant Morrison’s run, and extremely easy to follow.

Cloak & Dagger is a version of Legion that manages to be understandable. I guess that the stakes are so low for this show that some of the suits at Marvel don’t closely monitor the show.

Also, it’s not the first time that a producer contributes to ruining some project. Remember Spider-Man 3. Sure, it was Sam Raimi who directed it, but it was Avi Arad who forced him to use Venom with two other villains, as he took his decisions based on toy sales. Raimi never managed to find a proper balance, and…
