First of all, so help me show, I know you’re on the CW, but please resist the temptation to do the CW thing and have a love triangle between Jon, Jordan and Sarah, just for once do that for me please? And while we’re at it, it would be cool if Jordan doesn’t throw a hissy fit over Jon getting powers, but that feels

I don’t know why these days everyone seems to be opposed to recasting roles.  I’m not an idiot, my mind won’t melt down trying to process everyone calling some new lady Cara Dune.

We already knew Snyder was going to put Leto in this Justice League extended cut thing whatever it is.  This appears to just tease that he’s going to look slightly different than he did in Suicide Squad.

The endings – I get the jokes that are made. But I’d be interested to know what people should be cut. They last for about 20 minutes which, even to a 3 hour 20 minute film, isn’t a huge chunk and especially not for a 9 hour plus story. But I can at least see that the way they’re edited makes them seem like they’re

I think I marginally preferred Vision but they’re both great. I have Omega Men on the bedside table but haven’t got round to it yet. High hopes.

Tom Kings Mister Miracle is the best comic Grant Morrison never wrote. Manages to balance mad sci-fi ideas, weird surrealism, heartbreaking drama with lovely, funny character moments. Well worth a read in any format.

Bless you, weirdo.

100% was TROS.  I keep lists of trailers, because i’m a weirdo.

I hate movie trailers that give away the plot of the movie they’re promoting.

The craziest thing is that the basic plot of Spider-Man 2 had been done in previous movies (Superman 2, Batman Forever) without it ever working as well or as clearly. The thing in both of those movies is that Superman and Batman wind up (briefly) quitting in hopes of a reward—a “normal” life with a woman—before

The second film delves into this pathos even better; it gives Peter Parker great reasons to quit being Spider-man, but he also has to live with the guilt of knowing his absence as Spider-man costs innocent people of their lives. They are explicitly about one of the great moral lessons; to quietly do the right thing.

(I would also add that setting Harry up to hate Spider-man for killing his father was also brilliantly done.)

The Sam Raimi Spider-man films were cheesy as hell (certainly in comparison to the Marc Webb films) but unlike the latter, Raimi’s films had teeth.

Thank you for not making this a slideshow.

Lovecraft Country was kind of a proper mess, but I think the three or four episodes that did work, worked really well. I think it deserved a spot on the list.

Yay! Not a slideshow! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I think the more self-contained episodes have mostly been there from the beginning.  Some lean into it more than others but you can look back on episodes like the one about the poison fog that showed up in London or the episode focusing on Edward VIII’s nazi dealings.

Quite a few people on Twitter were noting that Prince Charles may now be back to square one after spending two decades successfully rehabilitating his image to a lot of the population. From everything I’ve heard about him, I can’t say I really care.

Also what the hell is hard R ultraviolent gorefest Robocop doing in there. OF COURSE it would fuck a kid up. Why not throw in Jason and Freddy too then.

Return to Oz. Maybe they couldn’t pick just one scene.
