Yeah, someone posted a GIF that makes the shot location clearer.

He’s not the Amanda Connors we want, but the Ed Benes we deserve.

When DiC took over from Sunbow (at like a tenth the budget per episode), the show completely went to shit. The only remotely good episode from that whole tenure was when Cobra Commander tricked Metal Head’s grandmother, a badass old East European lady who had fought Nazis in World War II, into planning COBRA schemes.

Four people: legendary fight choreographer Bob Anderson portrayed Vader during the lightsaber duels in Empire and Jedi.

It’s probably just the cutting of this trailer, but when Han runs out of the wreckage at 0:42 and fires his blaster, and the next shot is the riot-control trooper (the one Finn was fighting with a lightsaber in an earlier trailer) getting shot in the head and flying backwards, I couldn’t help but think of the scene…

I can almost guarantee the OFRB will give it a PG in Ontario. Revenge of the Sith got a PG, all the Marvel films got a PG. I can’t imagine Force Awakens getting a 14A.

Beneath the Planet of the Peas

It’s all a victim of this movie’s messed up storytelling priorities. It spends so many scenes on Jonathan Kent when the character has a single dimension: protect Clark’s secret at any cost. His only narrative purpose is to give Clark a boundary to cross to become his own man.

I think the merchandising on that franchise is through the roof. That’s the only explanation I can think of for its continued existence.

Correction: He died saving a dog. All the people were already safe when went back for a dog just to keep Clark from doing it.

He made one of this year’s best thrillers.

My theory: In Marvel Comics, there’s a thing called Mutant Growth Hormone or MGH. Among other things, Beast’s experiments with it made him blue and furry. Since the MCU is making Inhumans into its mutants (since it can’t use mutants because Fox has the X-Men movie rights), IGH probably stands for Inhuman Growth…

For an almost completely pointless plotline.

Are we sure it’s even a coincidence? Who actually hired Jessica to spy on Luke in the first place?

She needed the plastic wrap to wrap up the body and someone else to help her carry and dispose of the body. She didn’t have a personal vendetta against Jessica, but all “gifted”—presumably she wanted to not get caught so she could do it again.

DO IT!

There’s a significant (and vocal) portion of SF fans in the Anglosphere who need their science fiction plausible and grounded (for various values of “plausible” and “grounded”) and just can’t abide works that get too abstract or metaphorical.
