    Loki Season 2 Discussion - Spoilers

    I watched until the end of the first phase of the credits, yeah. I think it would be pretty boring if the Citadel at the End of Time were just in some ordinary black hole. It might be more interesting if it were "inside" the Big Bang. Which would make it the End of Time, just not the end...

    Are Superhero films dying?

    In a few days we should be seeing whether Avenger is, in fact, fit to be a leader in the Avengers. If she is not that will be a huge sign that the Marvel plan for Phase B (4,5,6) was just not that good. I imagine one way she should do that is to show how she leads the Marvels. On the other hand...

    Do We Need More Alien Contact Films & Series?

    There must be significant stories where the aliens are heterogeneous too. Some are amicable, some are hostile, some are inexplicable, even within the same species. Aliens, like us, would likely have different subcultures amongst them. I think Star Trek is slowly getting better at this aspect of...

    Do We Need More Alien Contact Films & Series?

    Exactly this. Part of it would be exploring that depending on the form of contact, I would favour communications, it would end up being a nothingburger for a lot of people unless there were practical implications in consumer and industrial products. Of course, for other people they would...

    Do We Need More Alien Contact Films & Series?

    This is tangentially related to the "Are Superhero Films Dying?" thread, though I did not think of it while reading that. The question, as the title suggest, is are we due for some prestige-tier alien content that mashes together some Arrival-level theorizing with grounded, serialized narratives...

    Are Superhero films dying?

    Maybe I am forgetting some titles but I think we may be at the point where it would be worth trying some more actual genre and setting crossing superhero movies, maybe even with original characters if necessary. Like an actual Western, but with superheroes! Or an actual slasher film, but with...

    Loki Season 2 Discussion - Spoilers

    The Infinity Stones are not even magical per se, right? They are literally distilled essences of the forces of the(ir) universe.

    Loki Season 2 Discussion - Spoilers

    If someone were to be spaghettified into a thousand different versions of themselves across time it would definitely be a guy named "Victor Timely" I will give you that. Also... one other thing: given that He Who Remains was killed, are we absolutely sure that Alioth still functions as before...

    Paizo Paizo Pricing Update, New Releases, War of Immortals Playtest Wrap-Up, Partnerships

    While I would wager this is very clever it goes over my head a little bit because I do not follow what is going on with D&D that closely these days, lol.

    Paizo Paizo Pricing Update, New Releases, War of Immortals Playtest Wrap-Up, Partnerships

    When Pathfinder 3rd Edition finally happens I can only imagine it will be smallest edition change since AD&D 1 -> 2. Like, PF2 is an extremely solid system. That is why they are making SF2 entirely compatible with it. Hell, I can imagine a timeline in which there is no PF3 or SF3 per se because...

    Loki Season 2 Discussion - Spoilers

    Presumably Miss Minutes is going loopy because He Who Remains is dead. At least that seems like the most obvious difference between now and waves hands aeons. I suppose she is about to drop on Ravonna though the big secret behind that recording Loki heard earlier in the history of the TVA.

    Top ten Non-US tv shows

    What do you all have against Danish political dramas? Borgen literally led directly to three of its leads getting parts in HBO series (two in Game of Thrones, one in Westworld).

    Loki Season 2 Discussion - Spoilers

    Without the Sacred Timeline and a branching multiverse I wonder whether we will see one or more "Variant Sylvie's" at some point.

    Ahsoka - SPOILERS

    The execution of The Last Jedi was just so weird though. Like, the things about it that were good were good, but it is incredibly ironic how it made a hash of some of the details given that Rian when onto to make a very popular murder mystery, a genre where generally flubbing details is very bad...

    Ahsoka - SPOILERS

    While they good guys did seem oddly close to catching up to the bad guys I do not think they were close at all to actually stopping them, so time probably was on Thrawn's side overall.

    Ahsoka - SPOILERS

    I am guessing that next season the person most likely to build another lightsaber is actually Sabine, given the way that scene played out. Also it would be exceedingly strange if the artist in the group never made her own saber, given that lightsabers are supposed to be expressions of their...

    Ahsoka - SPOILERS

    I am definitely thinking that there are other Nightsisters in the sarcophagi. They referred to Thrawn "waking up" the Night Mothers. Presumably they were chilling out in sarcophagi of their own. Not sure how I feel about Morgan Elsbeth's exit, though between zombies and Force ghosts maybe she...

    Ahsoka - SPOILERS

    Oh, naughty word, it is The Mother. And with both Baylan and Shin surviving the season I wonder what there will be in store for them, though I am not sure who can take over from Ray.
