A lot of modern reboots seem really focused on recreating how certain movies or franchises felt when we first saw them, especially ones from the ’80s and ’90s. Sometimes that nostalgia works, and other times it just doesn’t land the same way. Do you think that feeling is something studios can actually recreate, or was it more about where we were as fans and as a society at the time? Are there any reboots you think struck the right balance, or ones that clearly missed the mark for you?

With some massive (and scary) winter weather coming for a large chunk of the US this weekend, it sounds like a lot of us are going to be snowed in -- or at least dealing with temperatures so cold we won't want to leave the house. It's a prime opportunity to do some fun nerdy things (provided the electricity holds). What fun nerdy things are on your snowpocalypse agenda?

After years of waiting, what many fans have been asking for is finally confirmed: the return of the Dragon Ball Super anime with the long-awaited adaptation of the Moro Arc, also known as The Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga. This arc, which until now only existed in the manga, is one of the darkest and most intense stories in Super. The plot expands the scale to a truly galactic level, with the Galactic Patrol playing a central role and Moro emerging as a very different kind of threat, an ancient, ruthless villain whose abilities push even the strongest warriors to their limits. Goku and Vegeta are back in action, but this time the conflict goes beyond pure brute strength.…

I finally got around to watching Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, and what stood out to me most was how the movie is told in two parts. The first focuses on Victor, and then the story really opens up once we start seeing things from the Creature’s point of view. It felt less like a traditional monster movie and more like a back-and-forth between creator and creation. A lot of the weight comes from perspective, guilt, and consequences rather than big horror moments, which made it feel closer to the spirit of the original novel. Curious what everyone thought about that approach. How did you feel about the split perspective, and where would you rank this among other Franke…

We know they're going to make another one. Cameron has confirmed he's been tapped to write it, but is that even the right move at this point? I get it, every version without him has largely failed, but the series also seems to be stuck. It needs some new juice. I think they should follow the Predator path and go further back in time. I'm not interested in a modern-set film in the series. Gimme a '60s Terminator, or even better, 1860s.

Blizzard has just launched this video looking back at their last 35 years and teasing what's next. What's everyone hoping to see? I'm the resident Overwatch person at ComicBook so I'm stoked to see what updates are coming for that, but furthermore I hope StarCraft finally gets something going (though probably not til BlizzCon)

Hi I’m not really a hardcore comic fan, but I like comic books a lot for their stories and visuals. I’m working on a small project where I use short comic scenes as a visual reference, and AI-generated reinterpretations of them, to talk about ideas from Stoicism — things like choice, control, responsibility, fear, conscience. It’s not about explaining the plot or replacing the original art. The comics are more like a starting point, and the focus is on the philosophical idea behind the situation. I know AI is a sensitive topic for a lot of people, so I’m genuinely curious how this approach feels from a comic reader’s point of view. Does it feel like an interesting way to …

We all have at least one. Something that keeps getting recommended, added to the watchlist, and then pushed back again and again. What movie or show has been sitting there for way too long that you still haven’t gotten around to watching?

With four teasers out now, it still feels like Marvel is holding back more than usual. I get the mystery angle, but I’m curious how others feel. Do you think this slower, more restrained approach is helping build anticipation, or is it making the movie harder to get excited about?

Since Spider-Man originally got the black suit during Secret Wars, do you think the MCU will finally give Tom Holland's Spider-Man the symbiote suit in the movie? We don't know how much they'll pull from the original Secret Wars versus Hickman's version, but this feels like one element from the original that would be hard to pass up. Do you think we'll see Spidey leave Battleworld with the black suit?

Shailene Woodley recently opened up about her Mary Jane being cut from Amazing Spider-Man 2, and it reminded me of something I wish No Way Home did. Instead of the Tom Hardy cameo and a Doctor Strange 2 trailer, I would have liked if the post-credit scenes were set in Tobey and Andrew's universes and we got just one more little bit with them after they were sent home. I couldn't help but imagine a scene where Garfield has a meet cute with a redhead, learns her name is MJ, and goes for it after l

The trailer for Avengers: Endgame Encore has been released. Are you excited? Planning on seeing it again? I'm torn on this. I know seeing Endgame in a theater again will be fun, but I don't really feel like sitting through it just for four extra minutes of footage.
