Wow, those are some awful, cheap looking sculpts, even for stuff that’s basically gacha toys. Cheap sculpts AND cheap molds. Even the “good” one.
...maybe one of those people who does realistic repaints of figures can make them not awful?

These are animated marshmallows, which are meant to be cooked and eaten. They’re barely sentient.
The original was an incarnate harbinger of destruction.
Also, possibly, proton streams are more antithetical to ectoplasmic forms than mere fire.

I did enjoy this more than I remember enjoying the theatrical release, but it’s probably better to consider this two movies (like watching Infinity War and Endgame back to back) or a six-episode miniseries that’s made with binging in mind. As a standalone film, it’s too long to have comfortably watched in a theater,…

While the ending leaves room for sequels, it doesn’t end on a cliffhanger or anything.  The credits told me it was based on a book I’d never heard of, but it wasn’t until I came looking for the review that I knew that book was just the first in a trilogy.  The film’s ending didn’t make me feel like there HAD to be a…

Yes, they do something different with it eventually. It still took too long to get there.

That sounds like it would have been more fun than what feels like the millionth iteration of people hovering in place and throwing cgi colors at each other.

Once upon a time, they had full arcades. So it was an arcade where you could have a pizza party, then go play games while the adults were "entertained" by the animatronics show (which I guess counted as a novelty if you didn't live near a Disney). Probably the adults ignored them as much as the kids did...

Right before getting into the interview, the state that it took place late January.

It looks like this is a prequel to the 96 live action version rather than the 61 animated version.

You’re calling them defending her as fanboyism, as if they’re outright saying that she’s good, but I saw it as more them saying “hold up a minute, let’s not jump to conclusions here” to her being painted as a bad guy.

I’ve been wondering for a few weeks now if the show is going to pull an inverse House of M and make the Fox X-universe retconned into a mutants-only universe Wanda created to give Pietro somewhere safe to be (“He wasn’t experimented on to get powers, he was born that way!”), and then, either at the end of the show or…

The last three episodes made me wonder if the show would have worked better if the whole thing had been released at once, like something on Netflix.
This episode made me think that at the very least, the first 4 episodes work best as one “episode.”

One problem with Muppet reboots is that they keep trying to do it without musical numbers. Are they that dumb about including it, or has licensing become that much more of an issue?

I’m enjoying the show so far, but I feel like ironically the pacing of the show with a “tv show” meta so far doesn’t work so well as a week-to-week show. Unlike The Mandalorian, where each episode feels complete, this show feels more like it should just be binge-watched. The episode ends have too much build up and not…

Are we sure “The Sweet Hereafter” is supposed to be the same as “Heaven”?
For that matter, what was the book she was reading?
Given the mess the show’s cosmology has always been, it’s just as possible that it’s Hecate’s waiting room. 🙄

I think this is the first show I’ve ever really considered a guilty pleasure. The plots and worldbuilding are so dumb, but I really like the actors, so I keep watching.
Kind of relieved if this is supposed to be the last season, though.  I’d rather see the actors go on to something else.

These are definitely things that vary not just from school to school, but also from year to year within the same school (ie., Class of x Vs. Class of x+1).

... it's not like she has to stay there... 🙄

From what I understand, Abrams did make up an outline for the whole trilogy. You could blame Johnson for ditching that to do his own thing, or Kennedy either for letting him or for not following through and falling back once that change proved controversial.

I liked it more than Apocalypse.
