    Wonder if this is their formal-wear wardrobe. I was expecting Delirium's costume to be less goth and more colorful. Yeah, it's probably their formal-wear since Destruction/The Prodigal is usually depicted as wearing a tank top or unbuttoned shirt and jeans (i.e. he withdrew/retired) and not armor.

    Now Comcast wants in on the bundles. Comcast to Launch Peacock, Netflix and Apple TV+ Bundle at a ‘Vastly Reduced Price’ (Variety)

    Hence my post.

    Exactly. If Clavell lived to write another book after Gai-jin, it would have still moved away from the period Shogun took place in. To me, that says that particular story (Shogun) was done. If the writers come out with anything that is a direct sequel to Shogun, they are pulling stuff out of their ass.

    ☝️ Or if they really want to stay in Japan, adapt Gai-jin (which relates to Toronaga's descendant and takes place in the years leading up to the Meiji Restoration). I'm not interested it any carryover-sequel series to Shogun. Adapt another Clavell novel.

    Not connected to the original Timm-verse in the same sense. While Bruce Timm is producing, this is actually period-set in the 1940s rather than using the 1940s-style with modern technology as with Timm's original Batman: TAS.

    Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery to Launch Disney+, Hulu, Max Streaming Bundle (Variety.com) One wonders how long it will be before we head back into a cable TV-like subscription model (many, if not all streaming services, available in 1 bundle).

    Refunds for Ghost of Tsushima on PC are now filtering out. (spoiler'd for size) It's unlikely Sony will back off like they did with Helldivers.

    Seein' the clips in my feed this morning.

    If they can't come to a consensus, then they don't know what they want. Continuity is both a blessing and curse. It's a nice way to fill in the gaps, but I didn't need it documented what a character had for brunch on a Sunday afternoon. If you dig too deep into continuity porn, you enter the mundane. Then it becomes lousy storytelling.

    Yep. Oh, they will do something this stupid again. Gotta feed 'dem hackers with fresh data to mine off the PSN servers.

    So Gunn went with a Nu52-ish costume.

    The problem is, fans, like this one, keep saying "I want more. I want to see how <X character> got there." As the saying goes: fans don't know what they want. They have no clue what is good or bad; important or fat. We don't need to see everything because, sometimes, it's just not THAT important. It's why we get lots of crap. It's the one thing fandoms, including Star Wars', just doesn't get. Sometimes the most important moment of a character's life is just that moment; that one story. Everything else is filler.

    For now.

    Those are the exact same scenes from this week's new trailer ☝️. 🥱

    I'm not saying this will be good or bad because I haven't watched it. It may swing either way. But my enthusiasm for this show is just 🤷‍♂️😐 after 2 trailers. I think we're already crossing the Rubicon there.

    Yeah, still not feelin' it. And still not diggin' the time period. Would have preferred 200...300...500 years before the Skywalker-saga. 100 years just doesn't feel far back enough.

    Also, found this which may clarify some things: Still....creating yet another account. And another password. On another platform. On another database. Which can be broken into. Which will be stolen. Which will find their way on the dark web. Gone are the days of just launching a single-player game without needing to login.

    Foot, meet Gun. Sony demands PSN accounts for Helldivers 2 PC players, and it’s not going well. A surprise hit, a network with brutal baggage, and the Steam profit paradox. (Ars Technica) The r/HellDivers subreddit has more up-to-date info.

    No one ever said it was stopped. Only that funding was reallocated to Project Stardust. Seeing that it was still around in The Mandalorian, I would say it only suffered a decade-ish-long delay. Palpatine probably would kept some funding off-the-books to keep it alive. The dark lord needed to find a principal investigator to head it up again and find some new specimens, neither which were not easy to come by now.

    It ended as it should have, focus on the Bad Batch and Omega. I don't understand fans and the Youtube talking-heads harping on certain things (where's a Clone rebellion [Seriously, what “Clone rebellion”? Like so many things in the Empire, they swept the Clones under the rug and let them rot. End of story.], Where's Rex?, blah blah blah, etc.). Keep it focused on your characters and THEIR story arc.

    Thank Stan Lee. At the end of X-Men #1 (1963), Professor X says, But Blame Grant Morrison for shortening it and making it a thing. Starting in 2001, it became the infamous rally phrase for the X-Men. But really, blame Jonathan Hickman. Starting in 2019, for inserting it. Every. Chance. He. Could.
  23. azrael
    🤷🏻‍♂️ Maybe the usual reason; they ran out of any frakkin’ ideas?
  24. azrael
    Looks like someone didn't read the book or watch the original 1980-miniseries. 😁 They all end the same way.

    I'm 100% certain we are not. Yeah. Definitely a take-the-kids-on-a-weekend-afternoon-theater-trip-movie. I'm not saying it's good or bad (I won't know and I'm not golng to see it anyways), but for people with kids, this seems like that ideal movie to bring them to see on a weekend afternoon.
