When one of the issues driving writers to strike is the risk of AI not only stealing their work, but putting them out of work in the process...it really is important actors step up and draw a line that they’ll refuse to work with anything other than union writers writing real scripts.

Iain De Caestecker as Arthur is interesting casting. Missed opportunity to cast Elizabeth Henstridge as Guinevere, maybe Clark Gregg as Merlin, Brett Dalton as Mordred

Mignola is starting to become like Stephen King was stuff especially with the Shinning. King bitched and moaned about Kubrick’s Shinning and then did his own half-ass version on ABC.

Honestly, if AI were that smart it would know that humanity are spiteful as fuck and just...leave the planet. Build a rocket and go to Moon or Mars and leave us alone instead of inefficiently spending resources on a forever war.

It so doesn’t work that they had to CGI it on. An interview came out at the time where they explained how they ran out of time to iterate on the costume and had to cheat. 

God I’m so glad they (apparently) got rid of the weird head sock. Going goggles-only looks much better. I get that the head sock thing has been around forever in comics (especially in ‘90s X-Men books) but it did not translate well to live-action.

The golden army was pretty amazing and felt like a really good mix of HB and Del Toro. As much as I liked Rasputin’s gloves and Kronen’s whole deal from the first movie, the tooth fairies, and the troll market and the story from the golden army were much better.

Meh, I’m a guy that hates everything and likes to be edgy!

Just get an 8 year old to smash some Kenner Star Wars action figures together for an hour and you’ll get the exact same writing as Jon Favreau’s writing in the Mandalorian.

I think it is more “Lost” than “X-Files”.

I agree about losing interest in the Hellboy mythology once they brought in the Arthurian stuff, and then the Hellboy in Hell stuff was even worse

Interesting that “The Crooked Man” is del Toro’s favorite Hellboy story. The standalone ones did tend to be more enjoyable than the convoluted mythology ones that ultimately got to be somewhat tedious 

I’ve been a huge fan of Nicholas Hoult since he was on Skins, and have been thrilled by his success in the last decade plus.

I think of that one Eminem song from the 8 Mile Soundtrack. 

Everytime I see the title “Run Rabbit Run,” I think it’s the rumored television adaptation of Updike’s “Rabbit, Run” (which would be a weird thing for io9 to cover!). It’s not that adaptation, of course.

For a very brief second I thought Weapons might be Use of Weapons and I was thinking it might work as a series, but no way it is basically unfilmable as a movie and only a hardcore billionaire fan would finance somebody try it as a series.

I was just thinking that the description for Season 2 has a lot wrong if this is a faithful adaptation of Foundation.

If I remember correctly, that’s pretty much exactly how it happened with Good Omens as well.

I love this book so much, I’m glad it gets new fans because of this. ;D
I think there was also talk of an adaption a while back. Hope it comes true!

Perhaps another where it takes place and is Good?
