Actually, thanks - Noiselund's releases are so sporadic I missed this one

Given how much he took over the original X-Men movies, you should remember how much screentime he had in the First Class timeline. (The one exception being Days of Future Past, but that was really original timeline Wolverine). I still think its weird that they brought back the original cast for...

Just a reminder, the 2025 Vikings went 9-8 (although the Packers rested everyone in the finale). The NFC North is anyone's game.

I don't believe the MCU has said if Heaven exists. Thor: Love and Thunder definitively said Valhalla exists in the MCU.

So it'll be 17 years between the Ferrara / Harvey Keitel original (NY) and the Herzog / Cage New Orleans, and 17 years between that and this Miike / Oguri Tokyo entry? Bad Lieutenant is not the first 'franchise' that comes to mind for once-a-generation entries.

Oh yeah, since you mentioned magnetic fields, in case you didn't know, the Earth's magnetic field (which direction is magnetic north) has flipped hundreds of times - Geomagnetic reversal - Wikipedia - though the effect is probably caused by the outer liquid core, not the solid center. We're...

Yes, the book explains that Erid's atmosphere and magnetic field are thick / strong enough that no radiation, including light, gets to the surface, hence why his species is blind. Rocky's ship is basically the first extra-planetary vessel the Eridians made period. Presumably (though the book...

Lots of contracts have 'Conduct Unbecoming' language that allows that person to be suspended, fired, or at least have their pay diminished if they do anything illegal (or even just embarrassing). Personally, I say heavy, continuous drinking is a perfectly rational response to being in Milwaukee.

There have been rumors of pitches for exactly that for years, but afaik Gale and Zemeckis have decreed no one is remaking it while they're alive. They're both ~75, so it is not impossible someone more amenable could inherit the rights in the next half decade, I dont think Holland can pass as a...

To be fair to theaters, just about everything else in July flopped hard. Supergirl, despite having action movies to itself for multiple weeks, was rejected immediately and completely. Moana and Minions, despite getting over $100Million each, didn't hit half of expectations. Evil Dead Burn had a...

Might have been with the key? I will say that contrary to my worries before the film, I do like that 'The Power Of Love' between MJ and Peter doesn't overpower the memory wipe spell; that said, I can't shake the feeling that we're getting the Alt-Gamora plotline that Gunn's separation from...

Let's be honest, the entire conversation is going to be about one character. I think everyone on earth already knows who that character and actor is, but to keep it vague: I think it's weird to reboot that character before the very next Marvel product brings all their original cast back. I...

Apparently they hadn't even started work on Season 2 yet. I also have to assume Disney figured Cretton's giant check for the points on Spider-Man 4 would cover any hurt feelings.

Yep, the positive side of multuverses is you can get nostalgia bumps whenever you want by bringing back character x. The much, much larger downside is that you remove all stakes because there are an ininite number of replacement characters from universes identical to yours other than some guy...
