The Beyonder is one of the worst Marvel characters of all time — basically the avatar of Jim Shooter’s ego -- but if Fishburne played him in a movie, I’d watch the shit out of it.

He’s what people were thinking Ezra was when they were complaining about him - the worst type of kid appeal character without actually appealing to kids.
Amen! Just... I know the trope but my girlfriend and I were rooting for him to be left behind or just die. That said, watching holo-Janeway calmly sipping her coffee while the ship was almost destroyed was entirely too satisfying.
I enjoy it, with weed, and you just have to take into account its really for kids.. not aging trek fans... but we watch.
He’s Ezra Bridger and Janeway is going to be his Kannan.
I liked that one of the characters, Zero, is a being “made of pure energy”. A sci fi trope stated often but rarely ever shown or developed because the idea doesn’t make a ton of sense on how that would be experienced. But in an animated cartoon and confined to being a little orb robot it totally works for me.
I love the show, but every epsiode I find myself screaming at the TV for someone to punch that little shit Dal. I pray the show allows him to grow out his cocky rude ignorant as all hell but too proud to admit it schtick.
The AVClub: constantly, repeatedly asks for this
Just like Jurrasic Park, no one cares who the dinos are chasing. It’s all about the reptiles.
I mean, time gates people. Gates to other times.
That movie dumb, dumb, dumb, and i love the shit out of it
If the Viking era was lousy with dragons to the point that random schmos had them as pets, shouldn’t there be an enormous historical record about them? Do dragon bones dissolve in the rain, or transcend into some dragon ghost realm upon death?
SUCH a great dumb fun movie. I will always watch it if its on.
“preserved Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century style”
It always amazes me whenever I hear someone mention this show because apparently EVERYONE saw it but at the same time it has absolutely no presence anywhere.
Still, it’s very weird to realize the films’ stars Hiccup, Astrid, Fishlegs, and Snotlout are all going to be long-dead when the show takes place.
“THE FUTURE OF DRAGONS IS HERE.”
Aww. Too bad. The future of dragons should’ve been Pern and the thread...
Yep. Despite all the noise and furor, it made $120 million domestic, which in a vacuum would be a wild success considering all the resistance meeting it.
The wild thing is it made good money for a comedy. Somehow, someway they spent $140 million making it which ate up the $230 million gross. They could have an identical film for $40 million and a nice profit.
