Just trying to understand your knee jerk reaction to it

Everyone I know that saw it really enjoyed it.

Pretty much this.

So you mean basically exactly what they did at Hollywood Bowl last year?

Sara Bareilles and Rebel Wilson or GTFO.

Why would he be rolling in his grave now? This sounds like exactly what they did at the Hollywood Bowl last year, just televised this time around.

Yes, it sounds exactly like the Hollywood Bowl show but televised.

Is it really underselling, or is he hitching his wagon to a much more popular “deity” in the American Leprechaun? Who can pull more belief, a leprechaun or a mostly-forgotten Irish king of fable?

I thought the same...3, 4, 6 really bugged me...

I had the same thought as the others on here: possible unintended consequence of FTL/warp? Wishful thinking maybe... A repeating signal could be a hub/homeworld?

Right! Especially here at io9 they’ve been dragging this from the get go! I’ve been looking forward to it despite the grief they’ve been throwing at it...

This isn’t a new thing though! Remember all the way back in the second movie when the fracking Great Pyramid was some sort of transformer!?

Yeah, wtf happened with the human transformers? It’s like they realized it would break everything after the fact and said ‘well, let’s not do that again’...

Nope, oil/gas, trash and nuclear here. Nevermind that most of that isnt much better than coal...

If he had money they’d be on a boat. Wasn’t that a central plot point?

Correct...they mistake it as him for a while, which is part of what leads Media to try to sway him in the first place.

I feel like it’s doing an excellent job of *showing* rather than telling what makes the old gods tick and what they’re feeling/going through right now.

I’m all aboard the Bautista train for Drax, but I’m guessing you’ve never seen Momoa as Ronon on Stargate Atlantis?

I’ve seen a number of people suggest that there might still be a time jump, just not right at the beginning?

Why, you ask? For the clicks of course...
