I've actually been loving this idea of having these same basic character types and dynamics but seeing them do their best to react to completely different situations.

I think it makes it way easier for Veronica to butt heads with Cheryl? It feels weird that the bonkers intensity of Betty drawing her own blood somehow still wasn't as interesting as seeing Veronica stand up to someone she has no personal investment in?

I'm used to into the ground being in terms of quality rather than quantity? For all the complaints about the last two it seems like they both did way better on following through the promising casting than the prequels.

The credits to Rogue One implies they did get her permission for that film, I assume it's somewhat morbid to ask "so what if you die…"?

There are extended versions of I think all the episodes online, which I think is fairly new since when I watched them on NBC before the hiatus they were the normal length I think? (I did have to rummage in the page source to watch them though and maybe picked the wrong links)

I kind of like this idea of transplanting the same cast of characters to a number of different high concepts, basically a fusion of Community and the anthology nature of American Horror Story. (I've dug what I've read of Afterlife with Archie and Archie Vs. The Predator sounded hilarious as a concept)

I think Bryan Fuller once implied that Hannibal was one of the cheapest possible hour long dramas at the time, granted this was before the season where they managed to film in Europe. (On the other hand, since they're a French co-production maybe they found a way where that was was just as if not cheaper?)

Those three seem to be much more unpleasant however. With Bunch it seems more like she powers through the unpleasantness and there's just a sufficient glimmer of redemption and self-realization that seems like it's within reach.

I guess if they said "Sufjan scored this movie [but we're finding it out now]" then leaving that implicit would make it seem like old news despite being for a film that hasn't been released yet?

In some movie recently he plays a government agent who goes undercover into a hate group though I'm not sure which or what's the context.

The Death Star is legitimately Jyn Erso tho?Considering how they couldn't decide to spell out the love of Donnie Yen and his sidekick, I'm gonna assume that the Death Star is cisgender.

I thought there was a good narrative reason for the final Vader sequence.

I thought it worked on the casting level, it established that there was an unspoken world of people who weren't straight white human males that still contributed to history despite their tales not being as prominent as the bigger players that end up becoming legendary.

I thought it helped with the lead bad guy since for however cool he looked and his semi-friendly dynamic with Mads Mikkelsen at the beginning, he was just in a desperate power play to maintain some degree of authority and if the Moff wouldn't take him seriously they might as well go to the only other character we know

I assume they kept it since it helped establish the terrible lengths rebels or rebel adjacent people would go to for their cause and it helps make it clear that Bohdi is an innocent who has horrors subjected to him (it feels like Riz Ahmed is constantly screwed over in a lot of the stuff I've seen him in?)

I thought he was kind of cheeky fun in Dr Strange even if his accent was incredibly impenetrable in his one big monologue. I had more trouble than during Hannibal oddly enough.

I think you'll need to settle for the Wicket duology. (That second reply movie seemed to have a weirdly brutal premise from what I remember)

The way I interpreted the joke was sort of similar to the weirdly close dynamic Hector has with his mom and that his mom discovered a lump on his body?

They did establish that Scott tried to prepare meals for the family but sort of sucked at it, maybe they reached some sort of agreement he wasn't even supposed to risk doing their laundry?

Have any actors other than Joseph Gordon Levitt and Constance Wu publicly pushed to get roles in any hypothetical remake? I think JGL was even relatively formally attached to one for awhile and I could see the two working.
