    Yeah, that was incredible. He's a badass, she's a badass and her mom was a badass. Lots of good that entire episode. He got to level up (metaphorically).

    Thunderbolts* (2025)

    I ordered 5 of these movies with a steelbook case. Amazon shipped it out in a fucking paper bag that ripped open before it made it to me. All 5 of these things arrived damaged, and they're currently out of stock to order more. Pain in the fucking ass. Retards at Amazon. Who the fuck would...

    This is a slightly older show from last year, but it went under the radar of pretty much everyone. I've heard good things, so I'll give it a try. There's actually 2 seasons as well.

    Ok, I'm down for this. And it looks like it comes out next month. At least if I saw the date correctly.

    Rick and Morty

    It was a solid episode. I wouldn't say it was the best of the year, but I liked it. In my opinion, episode 6 with Beth battling herself takes the cake.

    Yeah, that's the season 2 song. Even though they're just continuing the episode count, it's a new season so there's new OP & ED songs.

    The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)

    No, but kinda. The only real connection is implied by the first after credit scene. Then we can mentally bridge the gap between the universes to bring F4 into the MCU world. And what happened in the end credit doesn't bridge anything. But we know what will happen (vaguely as a subject and...

    Not at all. But literally every scene he was in this week were full of smiles. That's unusual for anime.

    The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)

    I've done this before, way back when Captain America was out. I saw that and Horrible Bosses at the same time. Anyway, get your bearings early. Find out how long each movie is, and check the start times on both. Then choose a movie that has a 15-20 minute window between when the one movie...

    The only real thing I disliked about that episode was water magician's constant smile any time he spoke with a human. Just way too many fucking smiles. Creepy.

    The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)

    Oh yeah. There was also some girl that resembled Lena Dunham, back when she was still fat, but thin for her. IMDB doesn't say Lena, so I have no idea who it was. But seeing her in the movie is who I thought of.

    I liked today's Dandadan. Master chick is pretty badass with the baseball bat. Or maybe it was just the speed of the scene, but It was good.

    People may say it's woke, but I didn't think so. The big thing is Sue Storm got even stronger than normal in order to save her kid. Then silver surfer did something, but thee back story they gave her, made it a mostly reasonable action. And it wasn't crazy overwhelming either. She was just...

    They did a good job of this. It wasn't a traditional origin story. The characters already had their power, then later explained how they got that power. They also briefly recapped early fights in the Fantastic Four comic books, allowing new characters to be introduced as though they were...

    The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)

    I saw this today in 3D, and I really really enjoyed it. It's emotional, but only because I'm a father. I don't think people who aren't parents will care. There are 2 end credit scenes. The first is a mid credit, that leads towards a future movie. The second is after everything, and it's...

    Also, Asians generally dislike their eyes. Not all, but a lot. That's why they draw anime characters with giant eyes. That's also one of the reasons double lid surgery exists. So they can make their eyes look like Caucasian eyes. It's silly, IMHO. As a white dude, I love the look of my...

    That about sums up my thought process every time I watch The Marvels. And because of just how insanely great it is, I try to watch it at least once every weekend. Especially that singing world scene. Chef's kiss to that one. :emoji_kissing:🤌

    No, no it doesn't. You should watch the real Japanese movie, Departures. It's an actual acted movie, as opposed to an Anime. It's fucking cry porn with how many times you will weep during it.

    I agree on that. I watched it when It was first airing, then watched it a second time as we were driving cross country from PA to California before shipping our car to Hawaii.

    That sounds like a you problem. Gotta start opening your mind to some shows. Right now, I'm in the middle of a rewatch of Rascal Does not Dream of Bunny-Senpai. It's not that old, but I haven't seen it since it first came out. Now there's it + 3 movies, and the 2nd season is airing right...

    Another good completed show was Ajin. It's dark also, but very good. There's a live action remake as well, but I'm talking about the anime. Another good choice is Fullmetal Alchemist. That was the name of the original series, which was fantastic, but moved away from the manga towards the...

    And with Solo Leveling, if you like that type of OP character, give One-Punch Man a try. It's 2 seasons long, but it's a fun show. Mushoku Tensei is my favorite. It's actually a show that I've read all (currently 26) light novels for, as well as purchased all of the blu-ray releases. It's...

    Yeah, it's a very vague question. It's like saying what's some good broadcast TV that came out in the last 20 years. Everyone has their basic list like Game of Thrones, Sopranos, Breaking Bad type stuff, but to go any deeper than that is nuance and personal preference. For example, if someone...

    Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026)

    I'll be there opening night. And I'll also buy the steelbook opening night, because that falls under Sony distribution and not Marvel. So it goes on sale the same day the movie hits theaters, then quickly sells out.

    Wasn't quite as good as the first, but I'm still down. From watching the OP & the ED, seems like black haired rich girl is gonna fall for him. Oh well, he can't act on it.
