A LEGO Set That Doesn't Exist - But Should...
Supernatural? Sam, Dean, Castiel, Crowley, Bobby (with a beer), maybe some of the other characters. You'd obviously have the Lego Impala, alongside a Lego Hell (the dungeon room Rowena, Crowley and Lucifer frequented)..

Which comic book villain could carry a solo movie?
Deathstroke is certainly a good shout, maybe even in something with Batman, but from the perspective of Slade Wilson rather than Bruce Wayne. Typically films are shown from the perspective of the hero, few films really tell the story of the villain, save from maybe Bane in the Bale films and Thanos in the MCU.

Which comic book villain could carry a solo movie?
Thanos? Specifically his journey from wanting what was best for his people and being a citizen that was wronged by his world leaders which ultimately turn him into the villain he became. I also wouldn't mind a film (or trilogy) from the perspective of a villainous Odin and his daughter Hela, perhaps explaining in more detail why Odin eventually chose to fight for peace rather than be a cause for fear and invading.

Which of the X-Men should be the first to get a solo movie in the MCU?
Storm, just because there's connections to Wakanda with her and T'Challa (although they might want to age her up a bit, else it's a tad awkward) unless they do a prequel of sorts. Otherwise, Jubilee, Angel/Archangel and Mirage.

Who Should Lead the Avengers in the Next Era?
It probably was, but Sam is no leader, and Disney messed up big time with Captain America 4. That's right down there with Thor 2 for me as one of the weakest MCU installments.

True Blood
It's been a while, as I watched this back when it aired, but I've decided to give it a rewatch. I genuinely can't remember thinking how naive and gullible Sookie is, and how ... just weird her relationship with Bill initiates; the second episode has him licking blood from Sookie's face. It just has all kinds of creepy about it. A good show/series from what I remember, but damn I never accounted for just how annoying the lead actress was going to end up being. Does anyone else have any thoughts to the show in general? Or toward Sookie?

Who Should Lead the Avengers in the Next Era?
I'm not quite sure even Disney know what they're doing with this dynamic. After the next two Avengers films, or even during them, if there's too many 'teams' that'll just be chaotic. In the context of MCU shenanigans, having one team of heroes as 'the Avengers' and another named 'the New Avengers' just seems stupid.

Who Should Lead the Avengers in the Next Era?
I'm afraid as much as I've enjoyed the Yelena character and development, I don't see her leading a team of actual heroes - not on the level of Thor, Hulk, Spider-Man etc. If we're talking reluctant heroes, then I'd actually propose Stephen Strange or Peter Parker.

Who Should Lead the Avengers in the Next Era?
What about Monica Rambeau? Unless I'm mistaken she occasionally holds the 'Captain Marvel' title doesn't she? I mean, if Brie doesn't work out...

Who Should Lead the Avengers in the Next Era?
Honestly, that's a good question. I don't think it'll be any of the above if I'm honest. Captain Marvel hasn't exactly been well received since her introduction, be that because of Brie, the script or other reasons, and Anthony just doesn't have the star power to lead (sorry). Captain America 4 was (I thought) terrible. The same star power argument goes for Letitia(?). Of the five in the poll, I'd say Strange. I don't think (nor do I really want) another Tony Stark because (re)introducing a new Ironman kinda' devalues the Endgame Death. From my comic knowledge, both Luke Cage and Black Panther have led the Avengers, so unless it's a mystical threat where you'd get Stephen in, I'd vote for one of them; leaning more toward T'Challa if they can bring in a new one or age-up T'Challa Jr.

Gen V Season 2 Finale: Discussion and The Boys Future
There's takes from this; sure, they could've shown the intensity that allowed Emma to control her powers, but they've been toying with that the entire season as is, so it stands to reason we (mostly) have seen enough of that by now. What's more interesting here is that you've suggested it's care and responsibility over pressure that allows for further control of power. I'd argue it's both one and the same, similar in part with Sage. Sage's power is knowledge and calculations. Her weakness, emotions. In the same breath it's the emotions of our teenagers that allow them a power increase; the more emotional they are, the more their powers are effected by it. If there's genuine pressure, then their abilities have been heightened, but also if there's genuine care. It's ultimately all down to emotions at this point. Homelander seems like he'll be the main big bad, but once the Boys S5 wraps, I'm not seeing him still flying about, so if Gen V gets a 3rd season, we're going to need bigger stakes, and I'm concerned that you can't really top Vought and/or Homelander.

Gen V Season 2 Finale: Discussion and The Boys Future
I actually thought it was quite a good final; sure Godolkin got exploded, BUT he's never been the larger villain in play, and if they really wanted to, there's still a chance Marie can restore him. Regarding Emma, I'd argue here that she did use her powers under duress; her friends lives' were at stake. And with regard to Page, even the most intelligent and calculated people can make mistakes; I figure it was her emotional connection to Godolkin that clouded her powers somewhat. Arguably emotions are the strongest power of them all.

The worst “expert” ever in a TV episode or movie?
Iris West-Allen, easily. She went from reporter to becoming half the Flash but without any actual powers and to understanding all the technobabble and being able to control everything in Star Labs, practically.

Which original Avenger do you most want to see return in Avengers: Doomsday?
I suspect they'll all be back, with the exception of Natasha. I genuinely think Scarlett is done with the MCU. I think RDJ will be playing multiple characters; if it's a multiverse dynamic then there's bound to be another Ironman in there somewhere, same for the likes of everyone else really. Thing is, I don't much want them all back absent purpose. 616 Stark and 616 Roger's have had their stories told. Let them rest. Thor is still very much 'active' so he'll be around for the foreseeable, as will Hulk (I think). I don't really want to see Tony or Steve back unless there's a direct and distinctive reason, or unless they're playing variants.

The (cross)species of Star Trek
More of a generic Trek ... thought, but is anyone else of the opinion that crossbreeds or hybrids should be a rarity in Trek? I feel characters like Spock, Ziyal, B'Elanna etc would've been far more unique if they were a fluke, in that crossbreeding should be a rarity or a genetic anomaly rather than mere chance or intervention. This stems from the hybrids that we're scheduled to meet in the academy show; if hybrids are a common occurrence then the specific traits of the individual species are (I feel) more lost on us. I know (per TNG The Chase) we're all arguably distant cousins anyway, but it's not like we're talking across continents here; we're talking across space. There's some hybrids that just wouldn't happen for more obvious reasons (Gorn-Human, Tholian-Klingon, Voth-Vulcan), so how frequently should a red blooded Human be able to conceive with a green blooded Vulcan? Would people prefer to see less hybrids, or more?
