This is true, but the “streaming service boasting about how many people watched this sho-and it’s cancelled” concept does seem to have been mastered by Netflix.

Seriously, what even is the point in starting a show anymore? Although at least with this people can experience how the story ends with the books I guess.

Lori Lemaris confirmed I guess.

Fast XII will actually just be a two-header between Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez, stuck in traffic on the way home from saving the world at the end of Fast XI. We’ll only ever see the interior of the car, but their conversation will range from the nature of heroism, the future of muscle cars in an increasingly…

I came down here specifically to be that guy. Glad to see someone beat me to it!

Oh wow, so you actually had the perfect test case! Thinking about it now, yeah, there’s so much in the second half of Endgame that ties in directly to previous films that it just can’t provide context without falling into info dumps.

I would actually be interested to hear the perspective of someone who only watched Endgame. Or...let’s make it Infinity War and Endgame, given that Endgame is very explicitly a sequel. I suspect they’d be a bit lost with all the character introductions, but I suspect the story would at least be followable. If anything…

I remember when Endgame came out, there were quite a few thinkpieces going around basically saying “Why does something like this even exist? Why should I have to watch 21 other films to understand what’s happening in this one?” and I thought “so watch literally any other film that comes out, because that’s basically…

And that’s why we love him!

Yes! That’s one of the things I really liked about it, it really was not afraid to go weird. And yet it all still felt “Star Wars”. There were hints of the same kind of thing in Clone Wars when Anakin and Obi-Wan find themselves on that weird force planet with the dark/light forcebeing siblings, and I was hoping we’d…

Oh definitely! Clone Wars is also great once it kicks into gear (and...sorry...it does help inform Rebels!) but if you do decide to watch it, I’d recommend digging out the ‘chronological’ watch order. That’s how I did it and it worked really well. By the latter half of the show they start doing four-episode mini arcs,…

I do understand this feeling, and that it can be frustrating to feel like you have to complete a checklist just to watch one thing you might be interested in, but on the flip-side of that...Rebels is absolutely top-tier Star Wars that is well worth your time. It has its kiddier moments, sure, but then so do the films.…

The first couple of seasons really didn’t bother me, but part of that might have been because I’d just come straight off Clone Wars, and that really was some rough going at the start. Plus I blitzed the whole show in about three weeks, so if there was a weaker episode it wasn’t like I was waiting for the next one.

I just finished watching it for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I’d heard good things, but was surprised by just how much I loved it. The Ahsoka trailer was released just after I’d finished, and having not really followed any news from it, it was quite a surprise to see live-action Sabine, Hera and Chop!

There are a lot of people online who seem to be getting worried that Born Again won’t live up to the Netflix show, for one reason or another, and given that I think it’s the best thing Marvel have ever done in live action I can understand the concern. But knowing how much Kingpin means to D’Onofreo, and how seriously…

There was a period in the mid-00's where CW shows would have different music on the DVD releases than when they first aired for the same reason. I think Veronica Mars got hit by it, and things like The OC and Smallville.

I did a full rewatch a couple of years ago when Netflix did its weird re-edit experiment. It was fractionally better than I’d remembered, but then I remembered it being a steaming pile of shite where the only genuinely funny moment was a flashback to season 3...so there wasn’t really anywhere it could go but up.

Yeah, for Metroid I think it would be OK, and not a million miles away from how it was on GameCube. Goldeneye was definitely a bit rough until I’d fiddled about with the settings though!

As I’ve recently learned from trying to do anything other than look at the ceiling whilst spinning in circles and being shot in the back in Goldeneye, you can dig into the controller settings and swap the sticks so left is right and right is left. Then save it as a profile. The Switch even asks you if you want to,…

If you want ‘wonderfully silly’, then give the original Ringu trilogy of books a go. I absolutely guarantee that whatever direction you think they might go in, they do not.
