It also fits a tendency to firmly establish all the Guardians of the Galaxy characters apart from Peter as aliens — Drax, Mantis, the 'old gang' of Ravagers and even Thanos all have human roots in the comics but not in the movies.

The civil rights stuff was there to some extent from the beginning, but the comics were never that narrowly focussed on the theme, though they've moved that way a bit over time.

Some of the foreign titles for The Last Jedi have pluralized it.

It was also called The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

That's why the cheese topping.

I'd note that neither is a show that relies on any character having a secret overarching plan — we know most of what the characters know, and the question is more what they do next. That doesn't go wrong as easily as a grand mystery arc.

Trouble was that the more ornate puzzle elements tended to distract from the "humanity on the brink" parts, which I always thought were the show's strong suit.

It's America's fault for being big and rich enough to do CGI spectaculars.

Going by the figures here, it's likely to pass Man of Steel soon, and may pass Suicide Squad.

Don't worry, there's every chance you'll be able to see another soon.

And here's a handy example.

Skip the Tragedies and Histories, and maybe look at some of the language-manglers in the comedies.

<pedant>Robinson Crusoe was published just under 120 years before the start of the Victorian era.</pedant>

That explains the episodes that got graded Q, 5, and jellybean.

Yeah, after so much of the film was so inward-looking about Batman fighting Superman, the way she just walks in from a much wider world really works.

Both of them are the result of taking Hackman's Luthor as the template to play off more than going back to the comics much, aren't they?

Her comment on meeting Doomsday that she'd fought things from other worlds before (a touch I seemed to like more than anyone else) suggests she hasn't just spent 100 years antiquing.

Gal Gadot. Gal Godot was a no-show on the set.

I'd guess a lot of it is the result of enjoying a show at first, getting invested, and keeping on watching for far too long as the show goes downhill. It often seems to be the shows with strong what-happens-next addictive qualities that hang on to hate-watchers that way.

Enjoyed Monument Valley 2, but it's a shame I got through it so fast. Hoping for DLC like the first one.
