    To be fair (to me) I did not read the article.😁

    The only one I'm looking forward to is A2. Never had any interest in Blue Beetle.

    I loved those cartoons as a kid! Hope they do good by it.

    Down low and dirty! No other plane does the job this handsome bird does. It is a professional at its job and sometimes that's just what you need. We would/will lose an important tool when these birds are grounded.

    Nice haul @derex3592! you'll have to give some performance reviews, such as how long do you have to spray and if there are any moisture issues.

    Hawkeye was one of the better ones, with Loki a real close second. Moon Knight and Falcon/WinterSoldier were close runner-ups. Ms. Marvel and She-Hulk were enjoyable, though Ms. Marvel was better as it took itself more seriously. She-hulk broke the fourth wall too much and even used it in the finale, but was still a fun show. WandaVision was intriguing all the way through. It paced itself a little slower, building up the universe Wanda was in. For me, it all lead to a more fulfilling conclusion. though I felt Agatha was merely there to take blame and postpone Wanda's fall to the 'dark side' in Multiverse of Madness by giving her a enemy to fight.

    Don't be too hasty to go though. This could get fun!

    I liked most of it. Seeing Spock dealing with being fully human was fun, and I liked how they did it. Having the aliens act like a disinterested company help deck was funny. Some things were done a little over the top, but this was partly meant as a light-hearted episode, so that was fine. The ending...

    Got it in one! Before streaming, it was theaters and broadcast channels that most everyone got with a single monthly bill. Now it's a juggling act between six or eight streamers, finding which ones have something you want to watch and which ones you want to dump from month to month. And from their perspective, rather than just making a show or movie, they now have to support it rather than selling it to someone else to broadcast, all of which takes even more money. It's here to stay, obviously, but they need to find a better balance.

    The first half got real good at the end, I'm hoping this keeps the momentum up.

    Actually canon or not, it was first and would have served as a better framework than no framework at all. That they pull from the defunct EU shows that they know it on some level. But, that is all old old, old news.

    After the X-Wing, the E-Wing is my favorite of the Star Wars fighters. Nice to see it brought to 'live action.' And yes, uncanonizing the Extended Universe was clearly the wrong decision. They had a chance to make something good and lost it pretty quick.

    AFAIK Kowomori will not do a remake because the voice actor for Hikaru was a friend of his who died a while ago. That's why I think just a redo of the art and visuals mated to the original soundtrack would be great enough.

    Nice seeing the 25 geting some recent love!

    And that's why you left it in a quote for me, even though it wasn't for me... Tell you what, rather than trying to be purposefully confusing, just make sure you split up your quotes from now on. As for why she made Indy leave, it's simple. He's a living breathing person with knowledge spanning millennia - and that's just a crashed plane. Left as is, it is merely a mythical, godly mystery that will disappear into the annals of history. Indiana however, is a professor who knows countless historical facts and anything he does and says would reverberate a helluva lot longer than a crashed plane. It doesn't take much to figure that out. And @technoblue, well said.

    Never say Andor, but I guess Obi-wan could be being nominated for cinematography and costumes, and some such... Maybe about the same things Mando has been nominated for..?

    That all depends on how you view time-travel. Are there events that we can effect, or if we change something in the past do we even know something has been changed? Or is there a tangent created with an alternate reality branching off from the event that we will still never know about? Perhaps the future Indy returned to was the one he left, while the past left with the wreckage started a whole new future. Either way, even when it was happening, the plane became a mythical dragon and perhaps was written into history as such, to become nothing more than a wild fantasy read by later historians and scholars. Maybe it was buried or its parts melted down and used. No matter which, it was only a drop in an ocean as vast as two millennia, swallowed up and hidden in the depths of time.

    And I see it in the reverse. In Crystal Skull it was overt and in your face with Mutt. In Dial, Shaw is a co-lead/foil to Indy. Sure, the possibility exists, but then that's like saying Capshaw or Ke Huy Quan were meant to replace Indy merely because they also shared screen time. The only difference between the two is that Ford is old now. Though I am entertained, I think Indy (character et al) should be allowed to ride back into the sunset and Disney should really start looking for some new content.

    Very cool. Really like Nathan Fillion.

    This does look like a fun one! But even though I am enjoying these (well except for the first one) will we be going to these Strange New Worlds soon?

    For one, I don't see their characters being all about that and nothing else. In Crystal Skull we find out that Indy had a son and that was a dynamic for drama not just between him and Mutt, but Indy and Marion as well. Was the possibility there? Yes, with Mutt especially. C'mon, the hat rolling right to his feet..? But the way it under performed put the kibosh on that. I just don't see it with Helena, certainly not on screen. Again, is the possibility there too? Yes, but there was not one scene (that I recall) where it shows her as being positioned to take up his mantle. In fact, she walks off screen with the others and Indy grabs up his hat again before credits roll. So in just watching the movie, no it was not obvious. As for my idea. there was nothing in that to suggested establishing 'a new bearer of the "Indy" brand...' How do you get that from one vague sentence? I just think it would have been a fun idea and nice story to watch. Almost 'shades of Short Round,' seeing Indy having to deal with an energetic ten year old on a world-spanning adventure. Think of a cross between Indy and the Goonies. As for 'Disney sitting on an IP worth billions,' considering the poor run of both Crystal and Dial even they have to realize they should let the it rest now and make something new if they want to continue with similar adventures.

    Still liking the look of this!
  24. Thom
    Oh please, let this be true!! I've been waiting a long while. Heck, I still have the movie poster on my wall!

    With @Tking22 on this. There was a fanart done with Pratt as Han Solo and it looked awesome! I think a recast could have been done, and done well, such as the Mummy idea. 'Indian Jones and the Curse of the Mummy!" But they never did that, and Crystal Skull cemented Old Indy back under the hat. I have no idea what was said on social media from the producer or directors or actors about what was intended. Again, I don't follow social media and I count myself blessed with that wise choice. Most people would probably be better off ignoring social media and all the krup on it. As to her being his god-daughter, I think it was just that. They wanted a close pairing with the female lead and Harrison is way too old for audiences to accept a sexual relationship with a woman so young. Heck, I think they were pushing it with Elsa in Last Crusade as she was half his age! An idea I had for a movie after Crystal Skull came out would have been Indy going on adventure with a granddaughter! That could have been fun!
