But it was also the point at which he found himself leading a huge team of disparate people, not just Troma staff, had to negotiate and convince, and had to consider his content and what might make it work for families. I’m not saying that making (say) Slither was easy, only that there’s a degree of complexity in…

I think that stuff is pretty clear - Luke carries the titular Hope of everyone, and he’s just a man and can’t keep that up 100% of the time. He too is made of the light and dark elements of the force - he feels fear and hatred, he doubts himself.

The truth can be hard to take. Search your feelings, Richard.

“Look guys, leave off! I’m no Thanos! I only want to kill a tenth.”

Thanos tells the Silver Surfer that chronic overpopulation means an early end to life in the universe, denying Death the “steady harvest” she prefers. His rationale for ending half the life in the universe in one go is to ultimately prolong it, so more people are born in order to die in the long term.

In summary - he’s…

It probably needs to focus on Thanos a fair bit to avoid just seeming like he’s the smart purple space Hulk. His motivations are so crazy that it’s pretty the only way they are getting across. It’s interesting to think that we may be getting Mentor and Eros in the story as well if it shows Thanos’ childhood.

About 10 years ago, James Wan adapted Death Sentence, another of Garfield’s books which has the same basic plot but is a bit more upfront about how crazy the protagonist gets. It invites audiences to sympathise with the angry reaction and the desire for retribution, then jumps down the psychotic rabbit hole.

From the babe article: “Grace says she sensed Ansari was eager for them to leave. “When the waiter came over he quickly asked for the check and he said like, ‘Let’s get off this boat.’” She recalls there was still wine in her glass and more left in the bottle he ordered. The abruptness surprised her. “Like, he got the…

Bone Tomahawk, pointless? You silly sausage.

As a look at manifest destiny, or the frontier spirit, or the fine line between idiocy and bravery, or masculine pride, or as an excellent gory western it works.

I would say generally it’s the other way around. Aside from Thor, the current MCU heroes bear the responsibility of their abilities or creations, even when their heart is elsewhere. Superman, Wonder Woman, even Batman are themselves through and through (DCEU versions at least).

No, and a pretty small roster of characters (8, I think). I’ve not finished it yet, but I’m really enjoying it. The ‘perfect’ ratings are occasionally hard to obtain, but I don’t see that as being all that different to the tougher (and, to be fair, skippable) challenges that make up most Mario games.

I want more, but I don’t need more. I loved it all.

Littlefinger’s “assume the worst” exercise was his own undoing - Sansa even tells him so at the trial. His actions are so much more heinous and suspicious than Arya’s that Sansa was able to put a picture together pretty easily. Bringing Bran in to confirm it would have sealed it.

“Real men, on the other hand, treat everyone they meet; man, woman, and child, with the modicum of respect they deserve and believe all genders, ethnicities, preferences, etc. should be equal under the law.”
