Glenn Close was also in GotG as Nova Prime.

Jeremy Renner exists in the Glass Onion universe - his hot sauce is referenced in the last movie. So he may just be playing himself.

The road action sequences in Furiosa were dazzling, on par with anything from Fury Road, but I think stretching the story out as a years long “saga” rather than setting it over a couple of days really changes the overall feel and pacing of the action.

Early version of The Fall of Gondolin has Legolas in there after the city falls and the refugees are escaping. Later it was changed to Glorfindel I believe.

When adapting an existing work, the screenwriter (or composer/cartoonist/netflix writers room etc) becomes the author of the adaptation; they have to take some ownership of the work, and if they think they’re not putting themselves in there somehow, they’re lying and probably screwing up pretty badly.

High on his own supply, or, my preferred, crawling up ones own ass.

actually yes

Honestly for all we know Legolas might have been born in the first age, though I think indications are that is unlikely and his father only becomes king of the woodland realm after his precedessor dies in the war of the last alliance at the end of the second age & so he was maybe born after that, but the appendices…

This is tangentially related but has anyone else noticed the new Legendary Protein Pastries? They’re not made by Kellogg but by this upstart company called Legendary Foods.

Tons of adapted works barely resemble their original text. Adaptation adds gun fights, car chases, drug smuggling and forbidden romance to a story about orchid enthusiasts, the author literally inserts himself as the protagonist, and it’s one of the best screenplays ever. Blade Runner has superficial resemblance to Do…

Or the pan-and-scan version of De Niro and Pacino in Heat!

Can’t wait to see what Brad eats in this one.

If they doesn’t make the barrow wights as “circus mime tripping on bath salts.”, I’m not watching.

And it’s not Josh Gad?

if they don’t kiss at the end of this i’m going to be VERY disappointed.

The Muppet Babies were literally in diapers!

I’m assuming it’s Wolfs and not Wolves because of some joke in the movie where they both claim to be a lone wolf, and one of them says they’ll have to be lone wolfs together, leading to an argument about whether you’re still a lone wolf if you’re hanging out with another wolf.

This is Young Sherlock Holmes erasure and I will not stand for it!

You and I obviously have very different expectations for the shows we watch

I got a Star Wars notification for this? Man, these spin-offs are getting weird.
