Well said. One (of many) of the stupid-ass arguments that drives me nuts is, “LUKE TRIED TO KILL HIS NEPHEW! WHAA?!”

I loved the fact that Luke had gotten crotchety and sarcastic in his old age (and come by it honestly, too). The whole notion that he should act exactly the same way when he’s 60 as he did when he was 25 is ridiculous.

Beautiful. 

Whatever else the movie did wrong, the idea of ‘TLJ ruining Luke’ from ‘hardcore’ fans is the most hilarious misunderstanding of Star Wars characters, lore and philosophy they could muster.

Comics explained this. Everything WITH a Y chromosome died, including embryos and sperm.

I hope this is just exhaustion and not something more serious.

I’ve been reading through these comments today with tears in my eyes. Thanks so much to all of you. Honestly, I’m kinda speechless.

Please keep supporting io9 and its incredible staff. I know there are difficulties and frustrations with the site layout, but these are good journalists who want to bring you the news you…

Some news:

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

Jameela Jamil looks pretty good in the fight scene. She is a sexy skyscraper and she can fight! Look out She-Hulk. Also she is likely to throw fancy A-List parties and not invite you

Oh man, I can’t wait for Doctor Strange to cut his hand off and replace it with a chainsaw.

Really beginning to think that the problem isn’t so much with the talent as much as the fact that Willow is just not a particularly good or deep movie and trying to turn it into another LotR or GoT is sheer misguided folly.

Eight years after MoS, it’s clear that Warner Bros. still wants the big crossover energy of Civil War or Ragnarok, but the DCEU is too fragmented and inconsistent, so the best they could manage was to bring back Keaton’s Batman. (Will they sneak a digitized version of Reeve’s Superman there as well? Wouldn’t put it…

It’s like old Sam Raimi.

It’s very daring in the current atmosphere of #MeToo and non-classical gender roles that a studio would choose to do a prequel or even a sequel of The Continental.

Stephen Woolfenden has “stepped in to shoot the first two episodes” of Willow replacing former director Jonathan Entwistle — who, himself, has been brought in to replace John M. Chu last January.

Is it though (required viewing)? Time will tell, but while the TV shows are now linked to the MCU more directly, I don’t know yet if it will be required viewing. It is entirely possible that something like Dr. Strange or Spider-man will also explain similar things in its their own way.

Reminds me of the Quill stuff in Infinity War. Like, yeah, we the audience know he made a colossal fuckup, but we the audience also know the dude is an insecure manchild who just found out he lost about the most important person on his life (With Yondu gone).

She’s also been running from the TVA for most of her life. It’s harder for her to come around to the idea she has to become the thing she spent her life fighting than it is for Loki, who only just found out.

With this finale, it’s clear that Feige has made the D+ shows must see. This is either extraordinarily bold or extraordinary folly. I’ve seen people ask for Marvel to just go full TV and with the amount of D+ shows in the works... that might actually happen. Maybe he has a plan to bridge the gaps for the movies. But…
