One of the many reasons I know we’re not living in the best possible universes is that the Doctor Strange movie that Neil Gaiman and Guillermo del Toro were trying to make at some point never came to pass. That would have been truly wild to see.

No Yoda Stories? What the hell.

Jungle Ted is my favorite character from GI Joe.

This! It felt like the literary equivalent to a summer blockbuster. Not a riveting work, but a fun read. That said, I read it a second time this year and the flaws are MUCH more apparent the second time around, but it feels like a story that could only get better on the big screen, and I think Spielberg has the…

No Zapp Brannigan?

Yes! I remember saying, when it was time to pick a new Doctor after Smith’s time was up, that as cool as it would be to have a female Doctor, I really hoped they would wait until Moffatt was no longer in charge. He would’ve ruined it in a major way, and I’m happy that that’s how it ended up playing out!

You heard right. They did... except they didn’t? They announced months ago that they were changing the title of the game for basically these exact reasons... except now, months later, that’s basically been the last significant contact we’ve received from the dev team, and to date the project is still titled Mother 4.…

I think Marvel’s shift in the weird direction is more necessity of world building than anything else. The more grounded parts of their universe have been there for a few years now, and they’re getting ready to go VERY large and cosmic with Thanos’s arrival. In addition to this, we have a handful of original Avengers…

It’s almost like news and issues within the video game industry don’t exist in a vacuum, like it’s possible for more than one person to experience the same thing independent of each other.

I think it’s the opposite of ayours.

Miami Heatran is such a missed opportunity.

I mean, you make that sound like that isn’t a fair concern on the part of the HBO execs. Customers who once would have been locked into a whole year by a cable contract are now only paying $15 a month for two, maybe three months of content. That’s an incredible change in revenue for a company to have to work through.

Again, you’ve posted a passage that seems to intimate that the character already existed, but that a change was applied to the character. If Captain Phasma was originally designed as a male character, then Captain Phasma was *originally designed.*

Unless I’m reading this passage wrong, it sounds like the character Phasma had already existed, they just weren’t set on what she would look like until they settled on the silver armor from the concept art.

I mean, when your real name is ANTHONY WEINER, you really have to reach for the stars.

I’ve always thought, for being the mascot for all things Pokémon, Pikachu sure does have a boring shiny variation. You’d think Pikachu would be a good showcase of what an interesting shiny form could look like.

While I agree that Marvel not owning Spidey entirely will probably prevent them from making him the central character in the MCU, I also have a hard time believing that Marvel’s agreement with Sony to have Spider-man appear in the MCU was not also accompanied by a VERY specific contract. So, I don’t think Spidey will…

They definitely didn’t, but okay.

I think the *real* question is how badly Jon and Davos are going to flip their lids when they roll into Dragonstone and see Melisandre hanging out there.

That’s what I’m saying though, if they have every hero they’ve introduced thus far, and they shock us all and include the Netflix characters, that still only brings us to around 40 characters. If they’re supposedly including 60 characters in this movie, they’d have to introduce a good 20 of them within the film.
