Still so much laziness/stupidity in this show...like a roomful of SHIELD agents would just instantly believe/obey those two just snap out about how two top agents/heros-in-positions-of-authority are rogue androids and without a single one asking for a) proof of that and b) proof that the people doing the accusing aren’…

Quite possibly the greatest casting choice ever.

Yeah, there just doesn’t need to be any added canon to justify something that was a tough, instantaneous and compassionately intentioned call. A decision that was not but could not be perfect (or conversely for a selfless practicioner of the Way/Force could only be perfect). Let Ben be a rich human instead of trying…

Thanks. I hadn’t even considered that complication.

oops. please ignore this mistaken post.

Thanks for that info.

I want to know why you don’t have the capacity to focus your mind enough to bring a real argument.

true enough.

I tend to agree. There are so many actors period, and I feel like 90% of the time when a role calls for someone black, East Asian, Central Asian, Arabic or native American there’s this tiny group of go-to people. Such a waste. Granted, for main roles in major-backed films the same could be said for white actors, but…

Some true points, but I guess what I’m saying is that if it is important to a people that has gone through and is going through some serious difficulties, what does it hurt in a case like this? What is lost by deciding that you want to try to find a good actor for a particular role based on the issue that the role is…

So if the only way a show can be made is with a non-representational actor, okay. I understand that.

As I and others mentioned in the previous thread on this show, please do yourself a favor and read this comic series if you haven’t already. After the previous article I sat down to reread it from start-to-finish, the first time I’ve revisited it time since it came out monthly. I was floored (again) at how just what a…

I haven’t read either of the books (that one and Anansi Boys, right?) or related stories or comics or anything. I had an idea I started working over in my head towards the end of the ‘90s. If I want to really embarrass myself it started with a character I built for the Aki Wrestling game series my friends and I used…

Thanks for that clarification, Beth! I did only the most cursory look-up of Meraz and where I looked only mentioned the Purepecha background.

Ha. I have studiously avoided American Gods from its first incarnation out of a mix of not wanting to be influenced by it and personal animosity towards Gaiman. I realize that the first reason just isn’t going be valid since I’m never going to do anything with it and the second reason needs to be let go for sanity’s…

I’m not going to say “Good for them for picking a First Nations actor,” because I think that ought to be the bare minimum expectation in a series like this.

“He sprays in any direction!” sounds less like a feature to me and more like panicked warning.

The dumb-asses that were the rest of the characters in the prequels.

Dude, don’t dis The Wrecker that way. The man got his hands dirty constantly. He put his fists and his jaw where his mouth was all the time. He might lose (a lot), but he had a real work ethic. He has the courage to go up against guys like Thor or the Hulk even if it’s with a crew or a magified crowbar. Even…

I would definitely be down for a new and dark Shadow. I always really liked the Alec Baldwin one as classic pulp. I though it got a really bum rap. But I also really, really love the Helfer/Chaykin/Sienkiewicz/Kyle Baker weird-modern comic series DC did back in the 80s. The Seven Deadly Finns would make a great season…
