Hmm - I’m not so sure. Thanos has the Power Stone already in Infinity War when he fights Hulk and it’s not until the beginning of Endgame where we see him fight without any Infinity Stones and he’s dealt with pretty easily (albeit he’s nearly died recently destroying the Infinity Stones). Which...

I enjoyed it but not as much as I enjoyed Infinity War - Endgame just wasn’t as coherent a film. For a blockbuster film it was the quiet character moments that were the best - pretty much the first and last quarters of the film. The only thing I particularly didn’t like was “Lebowski” Thor...

This contrasts acutely with when I started role playing with (basic) D&D where my group would stop for the night when the (in game) day was over rather than any sense of resource management. Needless to say I had to do a lot of rescaling encounters to stop a TPK each day. Still prefer that kind...

Just checking - I imagine you mean the character rather than the actor! :)

While I agree they are the best characters, IMHO, if you think about it Burnham would be the obvious choice for a promotion (albeit leap frogging Saru as current first officer) given that the Universe revolves around her and she has the answers to all important problems facing the crew . . ...

Minor point but I remember when the series was first discussed and a point of difference was that the main character wasn’t the captain. Is it just me or does it feel like Burnham might be the new captain? Saru pointedly ducked Pike’s question.

Saw it at the weekend with my 12 year old son and it's now his favourite Marvel film! While I wouldn't go that far, as I prefer the (slightly) more grounded Captain America films, it is a good film that tries its best to avoid the normal linear origin story . . . Definitely will enhance...

Well it might be a direct set-up for a sequel. Black Adam is trapped powerless somewhere - Shazam defeats Sivana and by doing so strips him of his stolen powers - Black Adam regains his powers and breaks free ...

That’s what Troll Lord Games appear to be doing and Goodman Games come to think of it ...

Hmm - makes me wonder how different PF2E will actually be to PF1E - from the playtest it would appear to be a significant change but wouldn't there be a certain logic to keeping them "similar enough" (whatever that means) so that new PF2E players could still use the existing APs and PF1E players...

Good point! But what if PF2E has the same impact on PF1E players that D&D4E had on D&D3.xE players?

I'm sure this must have been talked about before but I can't find a relevant thread . . . it just occurs to me that given that Pathfinder became a haven for people that didn't want to move from 3.xE D&D to 4E, what will happen if "most" buyers of Pathfinder products stay with 1E rather than...

Well he’s said this is the last one and I can well believe it. The obvious foreshadowing didn’t take me out of the film half as much as some of the clunky dialogue - I’m sure there was a direct Star Wars reference along the lines of whenever one of the good superheroes emerges it causes an evil...

I remember thinking it had an elegant way of depicting such a wide range of power levels available for different DC characters . . . but I may be looking back through rose tinted spectacles! :)

It makes me wonder if David's death was Night trying to make a point within his "realistic" portrayal of superheroes - that is, what's more mundane than being drowned in a puddle (as opposed to dying in a blaze of glory as would be the case in a standard superhero film). There are bits of the...

Went to see Glass last night. I’m a fan of most but not quite all of M Night Shyamalan‘s films. Of the ones leading up to this one, Unbreakable is IMHO a true classic and Split (if you ignore the issues it has depicting real life mental health conditions) is a good film with a strong performance...

Well I enjoyed it as a whole but didn’t like the ending that was telegraphed quite early ... Idris has said he’d be interested in more Luther but I think he’s still pushing for a film!

Well it’s been an on-going tragedy so more bitter than sweet like a Classical Greek comedy ...

Saw Aquaman today and my expectation were low based on the Empire review (https://www.empireonline.com/movies/aquaman/review/). Generally I tend to agree with Empire but, while the film wasn’t perfect, it was a fun ride. My biggest worry going in was the criticism about the plot but I didn’t...

So far I think JW is completely fine as the doctor (neither the best nor the worst) but as the stories she's been given so far are also "fine" perhaps she'll only get the opportunity to shine when the stories become stronger . . .
