Also wondering if the Wasp is going to play a role here.

True, they clung to comfortable old ideas, unwilling to accept something that was new or modern. Exactly the kind of people who prefer The Orville over Discovery.

as for the way Roddenberry envisioned the future, Orville is much closer.

...it bears the Capcom name and logo...

Yes yes, the Orville, the TNG cover band.

I’m with you. The model 1 was fugly, and while it may be the Genesis model that exists in the retro imagination, it was not the one that most of us owned.

Sony previously helped fund and publish the original LittleBIGPlanet back when, and they ultimately bought developer Media Molecule in 2010, so no, Dreams is a first-party title and won’t likely ever be seen on other platforms.

I feel like Bran is simply not going to tell anyone about what Jaime did to him, I mean, he hasn’t up to now.

Solo already had an appearance of Darth Maul that would be very confusing to anyone who had not watched the cartoons..

I’m sure all this hangs together somehow, but to me, introducing all of this Dune-level mumbo-jumbo to the mainline Star Wars films now would be like if the Guardians of the Galaxy showed up with the Infinity Stones in Iron Man 2.

I mean, sure, adaptations often miss the point of the original, but that’s mostly because audiences really don’t want them to be any different from the thing they already love, so creators, in attempting to please those fans but facing the realities of the medium they’re working in, end up doing something that appears …

I’m just going to leave this here...

“Skeptical until release” is too generous, as far as I’m concerned. I love everything Mackenzie Davis has ever done, but to me, this movie is an assumed disaster until proven otherwise. :-P

I don’t even recall a scene of somebody sneaking through a facility trying not to be detected

If they’d stuck closer to the game it would have been better.
