30 mil on a pilot but they were never willing to pay off Benioff and Weiss to bow out of the franchise so they could bring in new showrunners? Make it make sense

it’s insane to me, all the years later, they won’t drop the core books down to 40-50 bucks, even for the holidays. Lets get more people into this hobby!

I’m fairly confused about how Benioff and Weiss convinced HBO the show absolutely couldn’t continue without their involvement. Show runners get replaced all the time

Unless they put Dave Filoni in charge I won’t watch whatever they do with these characters

Ricci alone is enough to make me watch this but I cannot stand the idea of them dragging a show like this out 4 or 5 seasons. Would love to go into it knowing theres a set beginning middle and end

I’ve felt from the beginning that Burnham is a character perpetually out of time. Then burnham we see starting a war with the Klingons probably would’ve fit right in during the Dominion War. The reckless figure out by the seat of her pants Burnham would’ve been a great captain in the Wild West heyday of Kirk’s era.…

It really doesn’t feel fair to mention any weight mary weissman might have gained. It’s obvious she weighs more now than she did in her first appearance - it’s not like we haven’t also seen Scotty and Riker put on weight over the years as well.

i’d feel that way if I didn’t think it would end with the president eating those words and making her an admiral

I wish to god this show could just give some more episodic stories. why does the galaxy always need to be in crisis? why must michael *always* be the big dick swinging galaxy rescuing hero? we’ve barely seen this character act competently *or* responsibly. lets just establish a baseline level of confidence in her first…

I actually kind of love it more here than I have in other examples

Shang-Chi was great right up until they decided to fill it with pokemon. absolutely baffling decision

I wish more people were willing to admit they would’ve overlooked the flaws in the netflix iron fist show if they’d just cast an asian actor as danny rand

It’s funny, a maker I follow (Naomi Wu) tweeted recently about not understanding the hype over the American remake of Kung-Fu. She thought it was odd how closely americans associate martials with asianness, when it’s not something she or most of the people she grew up with in China ever really had any sort of…

BOTW and SwSh had the exact same problem: a big empty world that’s impressive at first but hallow the more you dig into it. There really is no replay value in BOTW compared to a game like Skyrim

yes. they’ve always used mildly irritating (at best) puzzles to gatekeep legendary pokemon, but what if they used to gate off zones with rare monsters or alternate forms or wild ones with egg/unique moves. Bring back that feeling I had as a kid scouring the safari zone for a taurus and chansey

I would just like: a better system for facilitating multiplayer, improved raids, and *something* that finally ends the ability of Smogon users to craft their stupid damn teams. Randomize the EVs and IVs, add more numerical qurirks to individual pokemon’s movelists - just something to keep the game feeling fresh

Exactly. To me, one of the biggest things holding the franchise back and is the unwillingness to carry over features. A pokemon following you like in HG/SS and Mega Evolutions should’ve been part of Sword and Shield

I loved YYH coming up but it feels like a very bizarre choice for a live action remake. The smallest bit of the show where he’s actually a ghost detective? sure. but once it becomes tournament arc after tournament I’m not really sure what there is to adapt

which is why they should drop the episodes on a sunday night or monday morning, that way I won’t binge them all week but won’t get annoyed by the nonsense disney+ pulled

going to echo many other people in these comments who wishes we could have the amount of money spent on this show - from the setwork to the VFX to the prosthetics - use on some damn episode of the week sci-fi romps.
