Magnetism can do anything lol

Boy do I ever wish that were true — but I can’t deny there are some things we do at least a bit better.

All three of these films are available on D+ currently, and have been for some time — at least, in Canada. I literally just checked. So if that’s not the case in other countries, now you know what to set your VPN to if you have a burning need to see any of these, I guess!

They could have their cake and eat it too by having her be a mutant Inhuman...

Also, come to find out the young actress who plays Love is literally Hemsworth’s daughter makes that ending so much sweeter!

Eyeroll

I do understand what they were trying to do. Made sense narratively. It just didn’t land for me, personally, as a lol. More of a groan. But like, ultimately a minor issue compared to everything else that’s going on, y’know?

I recognize that, and in that regard it did work. But the shape of the helmet was very reminiscent of Wolverine’s cowl, and I can’t help but think that was intentional. I’m really looking forward to finding out how the MCU handles that cowl, because it’s one of the best examples of something looking cool as hell on…

I enjoyed it. Any notes I have are fairly minor, possibly because I didn’t have a headcanon lined up for this prior to watching it. Did every joke land? No! But that’s true of literally every comedy I’ve seen in my life.

So we’ve had a lot of Bat-adjacent TV stuff in the past, idk, ten years. Yet very little of it includes what one would expect fans of Batman would want. Gotham is Baby Batman, Titans is septuagenarian Batman, in Batwoman Batman is missing, I think? Now this fucking thing, and Batman is dead.

Nope. We don’t even need the ones we’ve had. Titans last season being entirely Bat-centric was infuriating, for example. It was bad enough that Jason Todd, the least popular Robin, was such a central figure in the Deathstroke season.

I did mention that about the actor/character. I didn’t have that info about Kenobi’s canonical age; that does clear it up.

I see what you’re going for but I don’t think you’re coming at this the same way I am.

Sounds fun! I wonder if they’re gonna address how he aged 30 years in like 17 (IIRC how old Luke was supposed to be in ANH), lol

What a fucking flex would it be if the sequel is called “The Batman Returns”.

I dunno. The avatar thing seems to be a much more direct link, but a case could certainly be made.

lol during that bullshit “trial”, I so, so, so wanted someone to be like “wtf are you still hiding for? The humans know gods exist, bloody Thor and Loki blew the lid off of that years ago! The Asgardians don’t even bother with avatars!”

I agree with you. That’s what I’m saying, it’s a well-trodden trope; just not a redesign of characters as Brian said. That one word was the thing I poorly expressed opposition to.

The claim you’re making that I’m contesting is that they redesigned the characters. I’ll concede The Mandarin and Killmonger; I didn’t think of those at time of comment. AFAIK the others were not far off their comics design, which speaks to the point of this being a tropey trope.

Okay, I have some notes.
