So it'll do gangbusters overseas, as is expected/required of all big franchise tentpoles?

It's literally based on a best-selling franchise, I don't know how much more "branded" you can get, short of Patton Oswalt's P&R rant.

I'm really just looking forward to the Council of Churchills in the big crossover next year when they introduce some of the weirder alternate universe Churchills.

Churchill is apparently a big favorite in the alt right community though, so… who the fuck knows anymore.

It's a bizarre and severely unhealthy fad that has a noticeable effect on the actors long after the original role.

No, it's… it's weird. Like, even the good stuff is usually a bit off in some way. Like, we might complain about the restraints on regular TV that stem from the demands of the market/medium, but take that away and apparently the result is this sort of untethered mess with significantly skewed quality control.

Suffer from an ongoing, debilitating illness and you too can enjoy the life-affirming experiences depicted in this film!

And as with many "Die Hard but w/ X" pitches, that actually sounds fucking rad.

You see, the bikes are a metaphor for how their world expands as they grow up, and the tentacles represent the perils of puberty and - *gets dragged into a pool*

Don't be silly, when has an abundance of hype and audience interest ever ruined anything?

*Wonder Woman 2 becomes the first film to be released with a medical warning as audiences experience mass fainting and heart attacks*

Blocking bullets with her puffy leg warmers.

You scared me for a second there, I had to Google this because I thought it was some Latin American country we overthrew that I'd never heard of.

Wonder Woman: Iran-Contra

He's the… wintry soldier?

Well dang, that's a pretty inspired bit of casting.

Checked out the first episode on account of Wozzle Ezzle himself getting his name up there. There's a sort of delirious momentum to it, and some stronger dialogue than you might expect from this kind of show - barring an unnecessarily extended bit on goatfucking - that keeps it from wholly falling into the anime…

I've only watched the first episode but I'd say this goes waaay beyond Lords of Shadow. That was a sort of twisted Gothic, almost Grimm-like fairytale. This is some heavy metal shit.

I could actually totally see them doing a Hugo Strange story where he tries to gaslight Bruce Wayne.

Don't go teasing us about Red Son unless it's actually happening!
