Ed Asner is the only true Granny Goodness.

I’d always imagined New Gods as more of a prestige drama (but you know, with a crazy budget) that follows the sort of pattern that Kirby’s old Fourth World books did in the 70s. Episodes would alternate stories about Orion, The Forever People, and Mister Miracle, with a season finale that pulls everything together.

None. If anything they’ll be easter eggs like Chopper showing up onscreen and Hera being paged at Yavin in Rogue One.

ANSWER (SPOILERS)

I believe you are mistaken. You clearly mean the tunnel. #teamtunnel4life

I actually liked the movie. It took the only thing of value from the novel (ie the premise) and discarded everything that didn’t work (ie tower/tunnel argument and Vandermeer’s inert prose).

Thank you! And here I thought I was the only person who was driven insane by the whole tower/tunnel debate. #teamtunnel4life

Don’t like the book at all, but I am inexplicably excited about hate-watching the movie.

I’d say that Cousin Thrackan is going to stay stuck in the old EU with Joruus C’Baoth, Admiral Daala, Trioculus, Lowbacca, and Luuke Skywalker.

I hate to belabor the obvious, but it’s clearly a tunnel.

A) Annihilation

Though maybe it does if you’re a kryptonian whose corpse was left on Earth absorbing yellow sunlight. Hmm. I’ve given myself rich food for thought.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but your hair doesn’t keep growing when you die.

Oh, I’m not saying that there aren’t also times when the movie is intentionally trying to be funny. I’m just saying that I thought that the visual of the supposedly intimidating villain scampering up a building like a squirrel was funnier than any of the genuine jokes.

I assume that “doses of humor sprinkled throughout” includes Zod scampering up a building like a squirrel.

So you’re saying you want Jim Rash to play Tom Bombadil?

Nah, brah. It’d be “hella Helas” but that’d still be more of a NorCal thing.
