The Battleship movie ruined my enjoyment of the board game.

I think the argument would be if Ghostbusters 2016 is a flop, studio heads will likely walk away saying "Ghostbusters can't make money" vs. "This was a poorly planned and executed idea". The Last Airbender film being terrible doesn't erase the cartoon, but it's failure probably will prevent another Last Airbender…

Michael Bay Transformers/Ninja Turtles is my favorite analogy for this.

The Ghostbusters RPG was oddly decent, considering most tie-in properties like that were and are awful.

Yeah, well, the toy aisle stuff is partially because 37 year olds like me like buy the stuff we wanted AS kids FOR our kids…

But there WAS outrage about the Robocop Remake, the Total Recall Remake, the Michael Bay Ninja Turtles Remake.

I'd agree it was probably a combination of bad judgement and desperation on Sony's part.

I actually felt the opposite, that if you completely cut him from the show literally nothing would be lost.

Huh. I'm still wondering who the target market is. Only teenagers reliably go to the theater, and I'm not sure they will "get" the concept. This isn't Harry Potter, Hunger Games or Captain America.

Because controversy sells more tickets out of curiosity than everyone forgetting a movie exists.

As a parent, considering how awful every original story and short based on Frozen is, I'm highly skeptical they can recapture the magic of the original with a sequel.

I don't want Michael Bay directing any more Transformers or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies. If that makes me an entitled fan, call me entitled.

Considering the show seems to be in a mode of condensing characters and plot lines, I'm not sure they're going to add another thread. It's plausible though.

Indeed. He saved Kings Landing from being sacked and got absolutely none of the credit from the nobility or the common folk.

My money is on the Old Gods being "real", with the Seven being made up. I imagine it will never be made 100% clear.

Waif may not always be the same person. I believe at some point Jaqen disguised himself as Waif.

Well, the fun thing about a play-within-a-play is the tone can be radically different.

Well, the implication with the Red Priests has been the visions of the future they see are true, can't be changed, but can be misintepreted.

There was little downside to kililng Littlefinger on the spot. In fact, she then could have got to Robyn Aryn directly.

He didn't even confirm R+L=J before getting ambushed.
