Yeah, I don’t understand why someone would decide to make a Watchmen sequel, exploring that world after the events of the original story, in the first place. But I’m especially baffled why you would take that idea, and then choose to focus the story on Oklahoma police officers.

I’d think that the show would, while…

Were-worms!!

What? Firefly failed because of Fox’s mismanagement of it. Shuffling around the schedule, putting it in a dead slot, pre-empting it for sports games... it was very much seen as a marketing and ratings failure, *not* a creative failure. I’ve never heard anyone make this analysis of it before.

I don’t think this is necessarily true either though. The Han Solo archetype has been used as the lead in several other series, such as Firefly and Cowboy Bebop, not to mention similar characters outside of fantasy. He wasn’t grating or gimmicky like Jack Sparrow - he was a likable guy with a chip on his shoulder and…

I mean, to be fair, it was a show that dealt directly with core Disney brand characters - the evil queens and villains of their fairy tale princess movies.
I think they’re probably more protective of the tone of that brand.

The Mandalorian trailer implied that someone gets cut in half by a doorway, so I don’t think we…

I don’t totally understand this. I get the wanting to see Ewan McGregor aspect, but Han Solo is a character who, on the surface, had way more storytelling potential than Obi-Wan Kenobi during his hermit years. Han Solo has a built-in mythos - he’s a smuggler with a fast ship and a co-pilot - who was flying around the…

No Samsung Smart TVs?? What the hell?

It was also produced before Disney bought Star Wars, and thus doesn’t refute his (edgy contrarian) point.

Maybe that’s why he tried to reason with the bear first. Or maybe he just didn’t want to have to hurt the bear
“In an interview with the BBC, Dowler recalled trying to negotiate with the bear before the attack. ‘I know this is your territory, I’m just passing through - we don’t have to do this,’ he said he told the…

This article has some great stuff in it, like - “Colin Dowler was mountain biking on a remote logging road on Mount Doogie Dowler – named after his grandfather” nice random aside, and also the name Doogie Dowler

Tom Shippey didn’t say anything about that. That’s Sam Barsanti trying to be snarky and getting stuff hilariously wrong. Like, Robin Williams’ character in One Hour Photo talking about Evangelion wrong.

Sauron doesn’t try to reform anything in a nice way. He teaches the Elves how to make magic rings, tricks them into…

Frank Sobotka would have totally voted for Trump, had he lived to see 2016.

He mashed up New Gods and Inhumans. It’s the New Gods mythos with the Inhumans’ origin and status as hidden relatives of humanity.

I mean, the Blip happened everywhere in the universe though, not just on Earth. 

I think you’d have to go back to around Season 5 for your remake, to be honest. The groundwork for the ending was already shakey.

PATHFINDER!??

Trump’s hair is actually real. Basically all sources that know the guy and have commented on it have said this, including Michael Wolff and Kathy Griffin. It’s a comb over that he colors with some product that he almost certainly isn’t using right.

Yeah, a lot of the recent comics have gotten away from what made him great too. Just because it’s in some comics doesn’t make it good. There’s whole eras of the character I would rather not talk about. I wasn’t a big fan of Dan Slott turning him into Ted Kord, and the current run (as well as Zdarsky’s spectacular run…

... I mean, I didn’t specifically say he had to be a bullied nerd. I agree that the nerd-jock dynamic is dated (although kids are definitely still bullied and ostracized). You seem to be responding to a point I didn’t make. I was essentially saying he’s a down-on-his-luck schlub - I don’t mean that in the usual sense,…

I think it’s a magnet school, not a private school.
