    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    There's some speculation out there that supposed to represent the hand of a skrull and that they'll blend in elements of Secret Invasion to pull in Captain Marvel with the storyline. I don't know enough about Secret Invasion to have an opinion on how likely that would be but I tend to think...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Let's not pretend that this was ushered in with Disney. Lucas built his empire on the backs of such padawans. Disney is just letting his machine run the way he designed it, in that regard at least.

    That's the official party line at the moment but they're gonna move them (provided they can move the stuff that was developed specifically for Netflix, I've never seen those sorts of particulars to the deal discussed). It doesn't make sense not to. They're just keeping the announcement under...

    It's called a porg. They are a type of "bird" on the island that Luke has been on. It's the cutesy, merchandising hook for TLJ in the vein of the ewoks and Baby Groot. Hopefully they just hang around for a few aww's and don't play any sort of actual role though. Supposedly Chewie takes in...

    The mac 'n cheese was decent as is. Lots of chile. Lots of cheese sauce. Not enough cheese flavor though for the amount of chiles in it. Mixed in about half a cup of shredded 4 cheese blend and it was much better. I'm gonna repeat buy to try it with some bacon next. No spoon points.

    I'm one who falls through the cracks of their analysis then. I don't care how reliable your shit is if your service has only minimal content that I want to consume in the first place. If you don't check that box off first then your user experience and reliability are non-factors as far as I'm...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Well Rian Johnson is the writer in this case. Hearing him give the same rationale for not putting a focus on Snoke's backstory that I have for not wanting a full on Yoda or Han or Boba Fett backstory is for me more a sign of him be at least a decent writer since thats not some profound mystery...

    Star Wars Novels (Keep your EU shit out of here!)

    I haven't read any of his stuff but from what I've gathered it, at least the first one in the series, has far bigger issues than a few gender neutral pronouns.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Rian Johnson agrees with you (as do I). "Similar to Rey’s parentage, Snoke is here to serve a function in the story. And a story is not a Wikipedia page. For example, in the original trilogy, we didn’t know anything about the Emperor except what Luke knew about him, that he’s the evil guy...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I don't think that will be revealed in Rebels. The last season will have started before the movie is out and it's not set in the right time period for Snoke to be on anyone's radar.

    I don't remember them ever being around for anyone to even point at. The only time they were shown in the same room with an enemy he had his hands cuffed.

    I don't think so. That's definitely an added effect on the weapon and as shiny as that armor is they probably had to clean up some of the reflections.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Yeah that looks like something that is probably off some sort of toy packaging. This is one definitely a real shot though. They look a little better in it (the laser edge on the halberd is a nice touch) but still too much red.

    I still can't get into the overall look of these guys. I mean I like bringing in some clearly Japanese inspired stylings to the setting but the monochromatic design, the overly clean almost plastic appearance just kills the full potential of it all for me.

    On top of it all we had to listen to Yara bitching to her father about his desire to take areas on the mainland for the sake of a few pine cones then has the great idea of building a massive fleet of her own as soon as he died.

    Netflix buys Millarworld.

    Yeah I know Netflix has been building out their original content for some time, I was speaking more specifically about them bringing some comic book IP's in house. But you're right that this is a move that Disney should have done a few years ago. They have some properties they could base some...

    I posted about this in the Netflix Buys Millarworld thread over in the TV House before I saw this here. But yes, I think the chances of Disney yanking their Marvel shows once the current deal expires is is very high though there could be some specifics in those deals that limit Disney's...

    Netflix buys Millarworld.

    It turns out that Netflix is probably doing this because it knew it was going to need some original content to replace what it will probably be loosing in the not so distant future. Disney to Pull Movies From Netflix, Launch Streaming Service

    Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

    That would be my guess as well. This is supposed to be a relatively short movie and the new character count is already pretty high. Besides I don't expect them to ever change out someone like Hemsworth, who is eye candy for da ladies, with a CGI character like BRB anyway so the need for laying...

    The cave scene sorta left Jon's response to Dany telling him to bend the knee again just hanging there unresolved. The odds are low but I guess it's possible that he did so.

    I'm thinking Littlefinger. Arya was pouring him wine at Harrenhal when he was breaking bread with Tywin so she knows he was involved in everything that went down between the Lannisters and her family. Plus the way she reacted when she found out he was in Winterfell. Throw in the dagger going...

    I might save you a trip. They're pretty much a sour cream and onion chip with a trace of heat. The bacon never makes it past the name on the bag. edit: As an amendment to my statement about the bacon flavor I did detect the faint aftertaste of imitation bacon bits after I stopped eating them...

    Yeah as likeable as Daniel was and as smashable as Ali was as high school crush material, the best character in the original movie was Mr. Miyagi. Without him you're left with one memorable moment and a six words of timeless dialog from the whole thing. RIP Arnold

    I'm probably harsher on it than it deserves. There were elements of it I liked myself enough to stick with the show all the way through but it did become a slog. But the Danny Rand character wasn't one of them unfortunately which sorta robbed it of any payoff for the time I spent resisting the...
