Afterlife was insufferably unoriginal and dull, but seemed to go over well, so I expect nothing other than that here. Might as well get Peter MacNicol in here as Janosz in here too. 

To each their own, but I don’t think I lose interest in anything faster than when I see Mark Millar’s name on it. Ultimate X-Men was basically a hate letter to X-Men most of the time. 

They can do whatever, but I think it’d be hilarious if he played the Ultimate continuity incarnation of the character. Much like many characters from that continuity they dared to ask, “what if Wolverine... but no redeeming qualities whatsoever?” because uhh... subversion or uhh realism or something. Listen, don’t…

Genuinely looks pretty fun and pretty surprising given I don’t trust Universal with its own Universal Monsters IP, but the Smashing Pumpkins track sticks out like a sore thumb. I get, they’re trapped and there’s a vampire, but man it really takes the wind out of the sails so to speak when that needle drops.

Not sure what the movie will be like, but why are studios, directors, cinematographers et al choosing to make movies look like this? What’s the trend here? Did the Marvel movies looking like garbage, but making billions of dollars really make people think “ah yes our movies should look like low contrast mud. That’s…

Thankfully it was the opposite for me. I find the Forgotten Realms setting so loathsome and I really thought it was going to detract from my enjoyment of the film, but they barely acknowledge it outside of name dropping.

I really don’t like that Chris Pine’s character Edgin was a bard. That was a rogue with proficiency in performance and the lute. Maybe the inspiring leader feat, but certainly not a bard. 

That guy in the prison the whole season just made me feel so bad for that actor. Hope you got paid well, man, because saints what a waste of time.

The most confounding part of the season was the last half of ep 8 where we just get 30 new plot hooks for a third season I’m not quite convinced we’ll get because Netflix.…

I just looked that guy up. Justin Whalin. Wikipedia said he quit acting in 2009 to become a drama teacher at a private school in California.

That was what I was referring to. Oddly enough I forgot Eccleston was also in the Thor franchise when I made my later example of a project that took a lot of time and was subpar. 

They should really learn from Christopher Eccleston and just actively, openly hate everything about the big franchise they were a part of and always bring it up. We need more actors openly hating their jobs.

Kang the Conqueror says he sees time very differently. It all happens at once for him. So.... he knew he’d be “killed” by Ant-Man and just let it happen? Or was getting sucked into a time vortex to his benefit? I feel like they really short changed Kang in this if he is just simply killed off, after claiming he’s…

Great allusion to The Warriors at the start there with the radio DJ sending out songs to Wick / operatives.

Solid take and you’re probably 100% right. 

Not that the Oscars mean much outside of which studio ran the best ad campaign, but it’s absolutely wild that Nope, a brilliant movie about our obsession with the cinematic arts, the glorification of spectacle and packaging and selling trauma went completely ignored. Honestly you can’t get much more “this is about…

Tron Legacy is one of my absolute favorite Disney movies (after the animated Beauty and the Beast).

Yeah what they do with Gray is my biggest gripe with the episode. I feels like we just did that with him already. 

Honestly? Not as strong as the last few episodes. It was a little rushed. Even the climatic battles (Boorman’s seemingly cut completely) were a little more janky than this show gets. I get action scenes, really good ones, are hard to do because a good one takes weeks or even months to get right, but here the editing…

The plan: Make D&D a huge multimedia brand.

I’d probably go with Giant Size X-Men #1
