For someone who knows the original story there are a bunch of little treats. The Swan Ships of Alqualondë, Tar-Míriel with hints of the white petals of Nimloth the Fair around her...little stuff that shows that there are people among the showrunners who do seem to care about the details. Read more

I was thinking something else... Read more
Katee Sackhoff was a nice addition to The Mandalorian as Bo-Katan. I love that she originally provided the voice for the animated version of the character, so she was drawn to look like her.
Well, I could see Kingpin having a bigger role, because he’s an important figure in her past. But I could also see Marvel using D’Onofrio and Cox’s presence to hype the show for Daredevil fans, and using that as a jumping-off point for a full-on series revival. Read more
If that’s what they are doing, I can already see the backlash from here, and I can’t imagine they don’t see it too: “They took a show starring a deaf female protagonist and sidelined her for two white guys? Booooo” Read more
I mean a lot of people would probably be cool with that. Last I checked Daredevil was still beloved.
I didn’t believe the rumors about Cox in NWH or Kingpin in Hawkeye, but I was wrong. It seems like Marvel is really interested in fast-tracking some of the Netflix characters’ return to the MCU, and Echo makes sense as the means with which to do that.
I also really enjoyed it. The two leads were great together and the story was pretty good. Read more
I’ve gotten the other bundles and I’m getting this one. I may not play the games, but at least I know the money is going to a good cause.
So Echo is going to turn into Daredevil Season 3.5 pretty much the same way Boba Fett turned into The Mandalorian Season 2.5.
Sad about Night Sky. I know a lot of people found it slow and depressing, but I enjoyed watching JK Simmons & Sissy Spacek on screen together. They were quite a charming fictional couple. Read more
And I am 100% here for it and will be in that seat opening night.
That was my first thought. Second was Disney/Lucasfilm has him under a non-disclosure clause with a penalty larger than the GDP of some nations.
Two reminders for all the people jumping on the “just vote” criticism bandwagon:
Honestly, that’s for the best. If the people behind Episode 9 would have any “personal high standards”, other than doing very little to try to please a especific audience that’s known for being hard to please, then maybe we would have had a better movie that what we got. Or have no movie at all, also a good option.… Read more
Gets even better. He had to be intentional, right? Either way, it’s hilarious.
I think he’s at the point in his career where he can literally do whatever he wants to do. So he’s literally saying he’s not worried about it, if he’s able to do it to his personal high standards, he will. Otherwise it’s not meant to be.
Can’t speak to what you’re specifically talking about RE: “just vote” criticism/anti-criticism, but I know there’s an astroturfing movement by right wingers out there trying to get Dems to not vote by saying it’s hopeless/implying voting won’t be enough/that the Dems are useless. I mean, I know they’re ridiculously… Read more
Because the Democrats continue to fight an asymmetrical war. Every time the republicans are in power they break new political norms ruin things and then when the Dems take over and have to fix the mess they revert back to the old norms. The just vote frustration is that Dems currently have the trifecta and at least… Read more
Even holding people responsible for “letting” Trump come to power always seemed weird to me. Read more
