The sense I got from the first movie is that while challenging for the throne was 100% legal and accepted, it was usually fairly rare. So it’s probable that while someone could have challenged Angela Basset, I’m guessing when it was asked, everyone just went “nah, she’s good. We accept her.”

Wait, so Jason Mamoa has always wanted to play Lobo? Huh. Somehow, I’d gotten it in my head that he was reportedly excited to get the Aquaman role because after Kal Drogo and Conan, because he didn’t want to be typecast as a rough, barbaric, Lobo-type mercenary.

No, it’s consistently present for when they’re in/out of the water. I first noticed it when you saw Namor’s mother turn blue after taking the medicine... and then, like, the very next scene she’s in the water giving birth to Namor, and her skin tone was back to normal. But then you see her head out of the water when…

Yeah, that was the sense I got, too.

(+1ooo for the last one XD) I’ma try my hand at a few:

“We were somewhere around Tokyo on the edge of the Q zone when the atomic drugs took hold... Newfangled inhalant called ‘Oxygen Destroyer.’ Good shit.”

Interesting? Sure, because at least it looks like it took some creativity.

I wish Jordan Peele luck in making “the scariest podcast of all time,” but I’ll admit to being skeptical that anyone can top The Magnus Archives. That podcast is creepy AF.

That’s something both he and his immediate predecessor have in common.

I also will never forgive the extended editions for changing Gandalf’s funniest line delivery in Return of the King to a not-very-subtle anti-smoking PSA.

Oh, yeah. 100% better, more coherent film with the added material.

I think I’ve found the designer behind TikTok’s oppressive algorithm.

Danny Elfman composing music for this comes full circle for me, because for YEARS I had thought he was the one who composed the music for Barry Sonnenfeld’s movies, simply because he’d done the score for MiB (since this was still thick in the Spielberg/Williams era, it didn’t occur to my young self that directors…

Hey, you forgot the “a girl” part of the title!

It had me laughing my ass off, for sure.

My wife is a teacher. Can confirm.

The million dollar question is: who the hell would that be?

That’s good for a mystery, though. Too many get spoiled by deducing things based off of an actor’s star power, rather than the story, itself.

Well, the last time he had a chance to make an installment in a now-formulaic franchise, it started one of the biggest flame wars of the entire internet, so...

That probably makes it even worse in investors’ eyes.
