Glad you liked it! I guess it’s subjective for sure (and I totally missed the De La Soul!)

Nice interview. The series has done a great job of bringing the comic to TV and I’m looking forward to the next seasons. I do hope that they don’t adapt all 144 issues, as there’s some later story arcs that it might be better to skip (the series went on far past it’s prime.)

I thought Terrence Howard was well cast. He’s just apparently quite a handful to work with.

I have to believe she was prepped. And that they got her permission for the bit, especially as they knew it would likely come after she lost for the eighth time.

I missed that! I assumed she set up her life in Madripoor over the years, but maybe it was in the time before (and after) the blip. Either way I’m glad it left her enough time to throw fun parties with dancing Zemos.

Did Steve not look for Sharon at all during the five year gap? The show kind of implied he left her hanging, which seems really out of character. Jerk move, Steve!

It makes me less excited for it, too. The writing was super uneven. Hopefully focusing on just one two-hour story it can be more consistent (consistently good that is.)🤞

“It had good intentions and OK execution, but always felt a little bit off.”

I’m glad they’re doing this series, as for me a lot of the characters have been acting out of character (getting more and more cruel.) Kitty maiming Shaw in revenge, Storm killing, Beast becoming basically a super-villain... it’s been a lot. Some incredible issues (the recent X-Men issue, #19, written by Hickman was a…

The guy in the white suite is Doctor Nemesis. He was introduced during the Matt Fraction “Utopia” period of the series, I believe. Another era where they shook up the status quo (not as much of course, but some fun new story ideas.)

And with Disney buying FOX he can hang out with his best buddy Hank McCoy! (And hopefully they can use the fun-loving version of Beast and not the current semi-villainous one.)

Strong piece. As Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said, the verdict was “not justice, but accountability”. I’m just so glad we got that.

Nice job! There was also FF Annual #17 (after the Kree-Skrull War but before the slaughterhouse) where the Skrull cow’s milk caused the townspeople people who drank it to become violent and change shape. Although Reed explains how it wasn’t exactly milk in some Marvel science mumbo jumbo...

I didn’t mind where the story went, just the speed of it in the last two seasons made it not the same show. It became all about the spectacle. The showrunners needed to pass the torch to others who could take the time to tell the story properly. A few more regular length seasons would’ve made the plot turns feel more…

Yeah, they should’ve handed it over after season six and let it take 10 seasons of regular length seasons to properly get to where the series eventually ended. All the story in just two short seasons was a terrible idea, even if some of the spectacle was fun to watch.

It is wild, I agree. And a lot of his more recent work hasn’t been his best in my opinion, and read very muck like movie pitches at times, and yet still sell immediately.

At one point he was trying to explore the cost of war, and how the aftermath can be just as messy. That was actually handled okay as it wasn’t as direct a mention of real world events (yes, Iraq was the subtext but it remained subtext) as that odd, out of nowhere, shout out to Israel’s military.

Yeah, it was during one of the climaxes of one of the biggers arcs. Regardless about how one feels about Israel’s military, such an odd choice as it brought up real world politics in a world where that’s never been part of the story.

Fables goes on too long and loses a lot of steam as it goes. And there was in my mind, some really weird choices made during some key moments (as someone mentioned in the comments already). But the world building and the characterization remain strong throughout with some storylines being better than others, but none…
