No surprise that female characters get treated poorly whenever Brevoort has some say over the direction of a character...

Bill Maher strikes me as one of those guys from an 80's or 90's action flick who's only job is to be opposed to the heroes just because the script says there needs to be an obstructive bureaucrat, until the 3rd act where they meet an embarrassing comeuppance or are outright eaten by the monster.

Just more proof that most of the people who criticize movies online don't really watch a lot of movies.

I wonder if they're speed running Peter going through all these "romances" because he's going to be "off the board" come mid 2026...

It really shows how off the balance was in those Thor stories, because the focus *should* have been on Dr Blake's life and his life at the hospital with the God stuff in the background. Instead it's reversed.
And I get it- Kirby liked drawing Gods and monsters. But it made the series feel wonky.

My favorite tidbit is during the production of "Twisted Toyfare Theater" the guys found that Barbie toys and furniture scaled better with the Mego figures so all the props you see in those strips are raided from Barbie sets.

Just a general take, but I think one of the biggest flaws of Thor's comic is that Odin is literally so powerful he can solve all the problems with a wave of his hand (And has done so repeatedly) so the book gets stuck in these weird cycles that just come off as repetitive.

Just kinda wish Trump did it because of a genuine desire to improve things and not to just throw out everything the Black guy did because he's a virulent racist.

That's not even getting into the fact that this would have to be produced like those "Ten hour movie" shows that dominated streaming for a while but eventually grew out of favor due to expense.
The reason GoT worked the way it did was because it could be shot *like a TV show.*

Played it, but I could never get into fighting games like this on consoles.
Games of this type are designed for arcades- to be quarter gobblers.
Without being able to just pump new lives into the game to get another chance just threw off the balance for me.

It's not a big thing, but it's kinda neat how they'll just be there sometimes.
It adds to the verisimilitude of the world and how this is a connected universe with overlapping elements.

So I guess in the "Chicago" tv franchise, characters from one show will just show up on the other?
Like cops from PD will show up in Med and Fire, guys from Med will show up in Fire and sometimes they'll go to the hospital, guys from Fire will be in Med. At least from the episodes I've seen.

Well, in the original each of the companions becomes a ruler of some sort.
Scarecrow is put in charge of Emerald City. The Cowardly Lion becomes the ruler of the forest. And the Tin Woodsman becomes the ruler of the Wicked Witch's former domain.

I love how these services were supposed to be the place where we could find all of our favorite shows in one convenient package until they all dispersed and finding what you want now is like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Really love that we're all now paying $100/year for individual streaming services just so we can watch the 2-4 actually interesting pieces of media they each individually produce each year - gr8 system, no notes, definitely an improvement on one single cable bill 🙃

Every time I see something pop up in the news that relates *directly* back to something covered in Babylon 5 *THIRTY YEARS AGO* I really wonder what JMS saw that a *lot* of people did not see, or did not want to see.

@straczynski.bsky.social Hi Mr Stracynski.
I said this to you a while ago but with recent events I feel it's once again important to state that I really loved Bablyon 5. But I much preferred it when it was conspiratorial and paranoid not prescient to the point of wondering if you had a time machine

Let's not go nuts. The guy he "charmed" can be won over by sitting in a friggin' garbage truck and being allowed to honk the horn...
If Zohran Mamdani can charm the devil he can do anything. ✌🏼

I actually wouldn't want him to take it "seriously."
The idea I had would be that he would be like Thor's loser brother still living at home in his 40's with his parents wanting him to move out.

Kermit has to be Captain America since he's the leader.
Fozzie's Thor. Gonzo is Iron Man. Miss Piggy is Captain Marvel. Lou Zealand is Hawkeye. Robin/Sweetums is the Hulk. And Rolf is Nick Fury.
