I guess that Nicolas Cage didn't want a second season. Season 1 is self-contained, and Cage doesn't like to repeat characters. He did a dream project and moved on. Why wouldn't he? It's not like he's lacking money or that there's nothing else on his plate. I loved the show, but I'm fine with it ending. Things having an end is so rare these days that I'm glad it did, and did well.

I'm not too excited for Doomsday because of that. I feel it can become a cameo fest with very little story to hold it together.

I agree, but I would also add that John holds on too long before talking and acting, which causes a different set of problems. I absolutely love these two working together and being flawed for opposite reasons. I'm not sure there's more than one manhunter though, just because we're halfway into the season and we know that we'll learn the origins of Guy's ring, have a flashback episode about Hal, and solve Hal's murder in 2026. There's a lot of ground to cover, so we need to be wrapping up the 2016 plot soon.

Looks like a RE movie to me. We didn't know who Jill was in the first game. Or Leon in the second. Or Ethan in the sixth.... Ethan is perfect as an example. It's a RE character, but apart from a credits scene, is only connected to the mythology, not the classic heroes. Two people tried to make a game adaptation in the literal sense and failed. Let him try something new.

Perfectly put!

I think he didn't include himself because his plan also needed him to destroy the stones. So, while I think he wouldn't have an ethical problem with including himself, he probably left himself out of the pool to clean up the mess.

I agree that historically DC made better animated movies (although the era after the DCAU had some misses too). But I don't think those translate one-on-one to live action without everything becoming prohibitively expensive. Animation lets you shoot every angle for the same cost, and action scenes can be more or less destructive and chaotic depending on the needs of the scene. Take Superman, for example: it has incredible flying shots no one had done before, and they literally had to develop new rig technology to achieve them. That makes a live-action movie expensive. I would say we need the people who do animation well to do more animation!

Miller's run is a good starting point. From there, you can read it in chronological order. Daredevil might be the most consistently written character in both Marvel and DC, and it's rare to find truly bad issues. If Miller is too far back for you, you can start with the Guardian Devil storyline, from 1998. That would be the latest entry point I'd recommend, but to be fair, I haven't been keeping up with Marvel for the past decade or so.

I'm still on the fence about Other Mommy. It can go either way, from what I see. I'm excited about Clayface, to be honest, and hoping they will really hit the body horror of the premise. Whalefall could be interesting if the execution is good. The two at the top of my list are Werwulf and Resident Evil. Love both directors, so I'm excited for those.

If we include animation, the first Spider-Verse and Raimi's Spider-Man 2 still win. But Brand New Day is phenomenal for sure!

This. Also, Endgame was massive, and the box office still deflated afterward. Sure, pandemics played a major role in that, but I guess until Marvel Studios has a string of commercial successes, we won't know for sure if they're really back.

While powers are on the air, I would love it if the tone took some notes from Agents of SHIELD. They did a wonderful job showing the terror of criminals being hunted down by an unstoppable force, only to combust after the Penance Stare. The Ghost Rider arc of the series is great!

I only played the first Spider-Man, but while the story is great, I found the gameplay loop a bit repetitive… and once you start going for side quests and collectibles, things get old fast. I hope Wolverine will be better, even though I won't play it for a while.

I was hoping they would pull from Hickman, but the post-credit scene of Brand New Day makes me wonder. It implies Spidey is in "space" while his friends are on Earth. So does that mean the multiverse didn't collapse? Is Battleworld going to be a planet like in the original event? I have no idea.

You should! The show is amazing! The police officer from Gotham is the only one free of suspicion to me, as she's a friend of John's in 2026, which means she survived and they have a bond; she can't just be replaced at the end. My money is her husband. Leading an alien-killing squad would be the best way to avoid attention while also making sure your enemies will die. I'm more curious about who the benefactor is. Could it be the Guardians? Are they protecting the Manhunters because they feel responsible?
