Totally unfair characterization of TNG. There was a ton of growth over those seven years. Mostly on Johnathan Frakes’s face.

I have so many opinions on Discovery. I think the story for S1 was good, but very poorly plotted and paced. I think the characters are great but not given nearly enough room to breathe. I think the set/costume/visual effect design is fucking amazing but set in completely the wrong era. Overall, I think it’s vying with…

I bet I can think of a couple reasons.

If only there were some precedent for a comedian having a role in Star Trek, then Discovery wouldn’t be unusual and bad.

I’m starting to think she might be a little bit gay

He also never wrote any books featuring a character named that. He’s literally never called that in Huck Finn- that’s something critics called him.

Right. Which is why movies don’t have legs anymore, because people move onto the next thing quickly because there’s more competition.

And people are spending more money to do so. By this time in 1998, the movie industry as a whole made $2,109,703,350.53 in 2018 dollars. It’s made $2,804,068,438 so far this year.

Here’s some movies that, adjusted for inflation, made more money on the same weekend as one of Titanic’s #1 weekends, comparatively:

Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle
Black Panther
A Wrinkle in Time
Tomb Raider
Pacific Rim Uprising
Ready Player One

So you genuinely think that Titanic would manage 3 1/2 months in 2018?

Because Black Panther’s opening weekend alone is 5 times more than Titanic managed in a single week, adjusted for inflation.

And in that 3 1/2 months Titanic’s biggest competition was, what, U.S. Marshals? These days huge opening weekends are the norm and holding onto 5 consecutive weeks is a major feat. There have been literally two movies this century that have done that: Black Panther and Avatar. So yeah, comparing a movie now to 20…

To be fair, Anson Mount looks EXACTLY like Jeffery Hunter. It’s really friggin’ weird actually. Like if we could go ahead and retcon Bruce Greenwood with this dude, we should do that.

I believe that’s why he shot down having the actual Darth Bane and Darth Revan show up as Force Ghosts.

Darth Bane appeared not as a force ghost, but as an apparition conjured by Sidious using the ancient power of Moribund/Korriban. He was a trick, but had no real power. It’s not the same thing as a full Force Ghost like Yoda or Obi-Wan who are still the same people they were when they were alive, manifesting as real…

I actually prefer Return of the Joker, but it’s really splitting hairs at the top of that pile.

She would look like a perfectly normal, unremarkable person if it wasn’t for the fact that she doubles as the Mouth of Sauron without the charisma.

Exception: Not Another Teen Movie, which does that, but with an eye toward loving mockery of those references.

NASIIIIIIIIM PEDRAAAAAAAAAAAAAD

But until next month, you didn’t need to know who Thanos was really and now you do to an extent! You knew there was a big purple guy at the end of Avengers who was a really big bad guy, he gets a name in Guardians with a little bit more context, and since then there’s just this slow trend toward knowing he’s the Big Th…

Steppenwolf was in Superman: TAS. Where he died within minutes of the beginning of the episode. He then showed up again brieflyin Justice League, without even a hint of a justification why he was alive because who cares.
