At the rate that elephants keep growing in scale in Hollywood it's only a matter of time before one shows up in a Godzilla movie.

Yeah I think the longstanding anime icons will be very difficult to adapt in a way that will appeal to a broader audience without infuriating/disappointing anime fans because it's such a niche genre. Their appeal at the time was in being so different from anything in western animation. Akira...

In retrospect yes. There were the duped "good" guys (the Jedi/Republic) and the convenient pawns (systems with broad separatist sentiments that pre-dated the Clone War that Sidious was able to tap into for his purposes). It's telling though that Cassian, even at the time of Rogue One, still...

$19M domestic opening weekend, almost $60M worldwide. If there is an anime title you're hoping to see a US studio adapt to live action, that opening isn't helping the cause.

Another interesting thing about his character is he said he had been fighting in the Rebellion since he was six years old. If you make a rough guess at his age and math it back you realize he had fought in the original rebellion; with the Seperatists against the Republic. He literally was one...

Not the Akira Project but the Warner Bros. live action: Hot Off “Get Out,” Jordan Peele Is Being Courted to Direct “Akira” for Warner Bros. (Exclusive)

I had thought they would go on to Dantooine myself after they got wrecked at Atollon. My take on them bypassing it is that they are accelerating towards wrapping the series up. So next season may well be the last one. My only reservation against that is the impact it could have on being able...

It didn't take Whedon long to go into tent pole franchise withdrawal. ‘Batgirl’ Movie: Joss Whedon to Direct Standalone Film (EXCLUSIVE)

Yeah this was like an after-finale finale. They probably didn't even tack on that after credit until the show was formally renewed a few weeks ago.

This is just one aspect of the deal that has gained some recent attention. The only people who know all of the particulars are on the inside of the two companies in some shape or form so we don't know the full scope of how Marvel benefits from it other than having access to Spider-Man for some...

At the end of the day it will all come down to money. When the time comes will they feel that the co-op with Marvel Studios is making them more money than they can make on their own. If so they'll probably renew the deal for 1 or 2 more movies. But executives of major companies tend to be a...

I get all the anticipation for McGregor's dual roles but personally it's David Thewlis that has me amped. I love virtually everything that I've seen him do.

Yeah this is true. You can kinda piece together the very loose strokes of it. The immediate post-Civil War Spidey feelin' his oats with the new gear, sugar daddy Tony showing up to reel him in, Peter figuring out how to beat the tricked out opposition MacGyver style.

I dunno. That trailer seemed kinda all over the place for an MCU movie. Hopefully the third one will be a little more coherent.

Of all the Wicked Weed sours I've had this has been my least favorite. It's not nearly as balanced as the others. No real peach or apricot flavors to speak of. They haven't disappointed me often but this one didn't live up to the standard they've established for themselves.

Enduring? Do you have kids dragging you along to see them or something?

It looks like even his face was CGI in one of those shots (just before he flew in to stop the wreckage of the tank). Incidently Batman's line to Gordon about his playing well with others "Might be temporary" could end up being an unintentional foreshadowing of Affleck bailing on the franchise...

If the reshoot rumors are to be believed they're adding in Green Lantern/Green Lantern Corp though even so it will probably just be seeds for an upcoming Green Lantern movie. Supes will probably be there as well though I'm guessing not until just before the very end (I think that shot of Lois...

This is the first trailer. We know that, presumably, Steppenwolf is the big bad in this one. But they aren't going to showcase him in the first trailer. Not after the flack they got for showing off Doomsday too soon for BvS. Not to mention they have another movie (Wonder Woman) landing...

The CGI probably has a few more passes to get it into it's finished state. He will probably still be the most distracting thing about the movie though. His look is just bad on a conceptual level. Good CGI can't fix it.

As was I but I do have one concern moving forward. What has made this show so interesting has been the way it's explored the interplay between David's powers and his mental issues. If one half of that formula becomes "corrected" can it remain just as interesting? Like you I knew nothing of...

The chatter during the pre-production of the show indicated as much and the execution verified it. And the writing was definitely lacking. They could have probably cast a more fitting actor in the lead role but honestly I don't think that Finn Jones' acting chops was all that much of a problem...

Quite possibly. Though that depends on when they intend the Fett movie (which I think is almost a certainty) to be set. If it is set in the period between the Clone Wars and ANH then Rebels will probably not use him so as to give the screen writers more freedom to write what they wish. But if...

Which means it lacks one of the more relevant aspects of a grilled cheese sandwich; bread toasted in butter.

No. But remember in canon he isn't Mandalorian either.

Rebels Recon for the finale closes with a piece of concept art from next season that is rather ... ominous.

Interestingly they had the space-Japanese commander execute a kamikaze.

I liked them for that aspect as well. You can tell they designed Mortis to be a self-contained little pocket to give the creative team some freedom and they just took it over the top with the fantasy elements. It was too outlandish to be a direction they should go on any sort of long term...

Mortis was where The Ones (the father/son/daughter trio) lived. They were divisive episodes that some felt were too weird to feel like part of Star Wars and were just a bunch of force gobbledygook exposition set against a predictable story arc. But some really liked them. I've never seen...

Well most showrunners when asked prefer shorter seasons but it ultimately comes down to what they could have done with the additional run time. Eight hours to thirteen is a big jump though. Stranger Things didn't end feeling like it left some unturned stones lying about so I'm going to say it...

The "problem" with something set in the Old Republic is, while fascinating to most Star Wars fans, that era has virtually no footprint in the consciousness of the wider audience. Lucasfilm currently doesn't have the stones to stray too far from the shadow of the OT and it's central characters...

FYI the finale is airing early (or late, depending on how you typically watch it); 11:00 AM Saturday morning and encored throughout the day. The early on demand/app streams aren't available per usual with the finales. But that's not to say it's not already out there ...

Not my own experience but one relayed from another source ...

Given the reaction to Tom Holland's limited depiction of the character in CW I'd say there is a significant enough chunk of the general audience that is down for at least one more go round to justify it. And enough comic book movie fans are certainly interested in seeing what a production not...
