After Uprising, I’m really not interested unless it's a prequel to the original. I want to see the rise of the Kaiju & the development of the Jaeger program.

i either want them to avoid the plot of the second movie entirely - and, going by the premise, it sounds like they probably will - or touch on it exclusively to retcon you know who’s death out of canon.

I only ask that it’s better than the massive letdown that was Pacific Rim: Uprising. More Mako Mori, please

The 5th elephant is a damned masterpiece.

I’m just so disappointed that this article didn’t begin “Avril Lavigne isn’t dead--she’s born again.” It was RIGHT THERE! 

I read the first volume of this and was so underwhelmed. The angsty teens were so generic in their supposed fucked-uppedness and had no real character to speak of, so it was impossible to become invested in anything they were doing. Plus the whole thing was drenched in quirk-for-the-sake-of-quirk.

So three things. First of all I literally don’t get how you thought that was what was I going for in my comment, but whatever. Second, you do realize all of this applies to Jonah as well? Third, Sam was one of the driving forces for the trip and them looking for that island in the first place.

Here’s the thing, I completely understand why they stuck with Jonah as he works better as the companion both from a character and physical perspective. So writing Sam off is reasonable from that point of view, especially since there is a limited amount of resources to spend. Just the utter ruthlessness they used to do…

“Shit, we’ve accidentally written such great chemistry between these two characters everyone thinks they’re a couple. Should we maybe roll with this and see how it leads to new narrative arcs in the games?”

I almost wished that they went with that ending, although I can also easily understand why they wouldn’t as they didn’t want to tie the ending too hard on what happens next or where the games go, if they do. It’s just that I thought the ending was lacking that something.

Why isn’t everybody calling it the batawang?

Star Trek: What I really want is a new Next Generation. Ignore the past. Ignore the present. Do what TNG did and skip forward around a century, update the technology and the politics and show us where the Federation and the rest of the Alpha Quadrant stands. Switch up some of the alliances. Perhaps the Romulans…

Diminishing Returns: A Star Wars Story

I WANT AN EWAN McGREGOR OBI WAN KENOBI “STAR WARS STORY.”

Slow down, speed up, it won’t matter. People are out of ideas with Star Wars because it was never really the sweeping epic the name would suggest. It was about the Skywalkers, with a couple of colorful characters mixed in, giving the appearance of a huge, sprawling tale across the cosmos. And now your options are “Do…

Yeah, as we get farther from the OT, younger audiences just don’t care.

I’m not a “Rian Johnson ruined Star Wars” type and generally like what TLJ did with Luke/Kylo/Rey despite kind of a dour tone, but the plotlines that were purely his inventions (the slow-speed chase, Finn and Rose’s side adventure, Holdo and Poe’s clashes) were the weakest parts of the movie for me, so I’m not…

“This kids franchise doesn’t have enough moral ambiguity for me, and these heroes that everyone loves so much need to be brought down a peg or two.”

One new major film every two years was plenty. The big problem with the “anthology” side of things is that they decided to chain it to the original trilogy, limiting what stories could be told and how they could be presented. They really should just not have even considered side movies unless some promising director…
