Yep, and this happens in every single fandom. The latest installment is always the worst ever and it’s killing the franchise. Star Trek has seen this happen so many times. And don’t even get me started on Star Wars. The Force Awakens was shit because it was an exact repeat of ANH. Now The Last Jedi was shit because it…

I have nowhere near that many, just a little squad of them, but that is how I got most of them. They are super easy gifts that you’re not likely to go wrong with. My kids have given me Ahsoka Tano, Marceline and my favorite, a larger-size Godzilla which we dubbed Lil’ Zilla. Of the three, Godzilla is the only one I…

Honestly, I wouldn’t quite take all the positive stories about working for Marvelisney at face value. Because, A, people in the entertainment imdustry are fake, and no one is more fake than an actor. Their entire bloody*job* is being fake convincingly, and it’s a thing that carries over into every aspect of their…

Yeah, it was a really shitty idea to put the charismatic actor playing the villain in a mask that didn’t allow him to portray the slightest bit of emotion.

Well, I had almost the exact same reaction the first time I spotted neon yellows for sale. And they look really, really good.

Bought mine on launch day, my kids and I have played on it almost every day since then. Never had any problems until the stick on my left Joy-Con stopped recentering, most likely due to my nine-year-old being a little too rough with it. Bought a pair of Neon Yellow J-C, which I had been coveting anyway.

My interpretation was that he regenerated from that one twig that Rocket was carrying around. Not sure how that works, but it’s not cloning or reproduction, it’s just regeneration. We’re dealing with comic book science, so I think it’s pretty plausible that Groot’s entire essence could be found in every part of him.…

You’re not the only one. I miss keyboards. The Blackberry Curve is still the phone I loved most.

I have to reluctantly agree, because all Disney ever wants is your money. Now they are all “diversity is great, look how woke we are” but give it another ten years and they’ll be back to marginalizing and doing stereotypes left right and center.

It was hardly the right time for him to say this in 2004. I’m assuming that he wanted to keep writing in Hollywood.

Yes, but that was different.

I like how nobody ever remembers that Jabba the Hutt spent two entire films being built up as this horrible ruthless gangster that would relentlessly pursue you across the galaxy, hiring assassins, bounty hunters and whatever else it takes and totally scoffing at Imperial rule - and then he was a big fat space slug…

At last!! Blu-Ray with extras!! Double exclamation points!! Excitementations are beginning!!

Surprisingly, Japan was actually a refuge for European Jews during the Holocaust. Thousands of Jews fled to Japan when they couldn’t escape through Europe, and the Japanese refused all Nazi requests to turn Jews over to them all through the war. Not to say the Japanese were perfect hosts - they forced most of the Jews…

There is actually a very small Jewish population in Japan, and one thing I’ve learned in life is that you can find shockingly racist and xenophobic folks - especially antisemites - literally all over the world.

Yeah, I’m trying to get to a second viewing. I think it’s going to have some good legs.

To be fair, the characters you are reading about in Book 3 are completely different from the characters in book 1. I find that pretty valid. I ran out of steam during the third book, too. I remember finishing it, but it wasn’t nearly as fun as the first book.

I feel similarly. I would have loved to have that scene, but I feel it’s better to save the whole story of the Dora Milaje for another movie. There were a couple of aspects of Wakanda that they really didn’t touch yet and are apparently changing - Hatut Zeraze, White Wolf, the Beloved - but they had so much to…

“in Star Wars, one of the rules is that you need time and training to be a competent force user. This is reinforced in the first trilogies where each of the protagonists needed multiple films before they could be considered a bad-ass.”

YEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS i’ve been waiting so long!
