I think at this point there's more than enough to do a troop builder/minion wave if they really wanted. Skrulls, HYDRA, SHIELD, AIM, Hellfire, Sentinels, Hand, Guardsmen, Mindless Ones... could even bring back the SHIELD Mandroid in yellow for a generic Mandroid BAF. Maybe they update the old...

Now I have to decide. Ship Ryu and Ken now, or wait a week or two more to see if the Monster Force guys and the Boss Fight blanks come in so I can just ship the lot of them... Ah fuck it, I want some new toys this week.

We're missing some proper ghosts I think. The 13 Ghosts are cool, but I'm thinking something more classic gothic romance. For a line all about monsters we're missing some creepy crawlies. How about a Jorogumo as an antagonist to the 13 Ghosts? We are definitely missing lizard and fish people.

I will say, it deeply undercuts the idea of the Doctor as a weird, ageless, time-traveling alien when he starts to get the hots for his mayfly companions, and I never really dug it. I get it. When you start casting 5 alarm smoke shows like Tennant next to 5 alarm smoke shows like Billie Piper...

Actually, here's one for the Moffat crowd, how many of you folks watched Jekyll? I sort of expect it didn't age well, but I had a good time with that one.

I think one of my main issues with Moffat is that once I realized he's always angling for that moment where the hero can monologue sadly and or smugly about grand things I also realized that characters around the hero only do things to maneuver them into place for those speeches. That works a...

Shit, how did I forget Lila Cheney on my list!?

Yeah, this is a weird set of choices.

Oh no, folks, folks, folks. We're overlooking the obvious. Widow is the first one in her Avengers: The Crossing outfit. :D

Rachel is an obvious must. Silver Surfer and DD I want to see the looks, but I could be easily convinced... black ninja outfit is the pre-red and gold one int he comics that they had him wearing for most of the first season of the show, right? I could buy that. I want a red suit, but I could buy...

100%. I love both Capaldi and Comer as actors, and think they both make great Doctors. But fuuuuck--me I was so sick of Moffat's writing by the end of Capaldi and it felt like the show had the good idea for Jodie to play the Doctor, but no idea what to do with her. Even Matt Smith's run gets...

Oh oh oh! And I'm actually not done with that previous complaint. When Sulu does use his Katana, he's not doing anything that looks even remotely like Kendo or Iaido either. It doesn't even look like classical fencing. He's doing cartwheel shit and using reverse grip as I recall. Can you tell...

The thing that pissed me off just as much was them giving him a KATANA and then having him refer to his "fencing". Because apparently modern audiences just can't accept that an Asian guy would study classical fencing... y'know... the way George Takei did... It felt more racist to pin him to an...

It is AI and people called them out on it on Instagram. The stuff they've done with BBTS on the other hand, isn't. I can't recall who did the comic for Monster Force, but the Crimson Moon art is all done by Dana Black who I knew in a previous life when I was doing more comic stuff. In fact it...

As someone who has watched a lot of Dr. Who, this is a pretty comprehensive greatest hits list.

Yeah, sometimes running can be rough. I've gotten super particular about who I play with, and how many folks just because I do not have a lot of energy to run stuff anymore and when I do I want it to be good. I've let in a sixth person (I usually run for 5) for an Alien RPG I'm running right now...

Now I have different questions. Ok, so he knows it's coming in crash landing to his empire, in fact he set it up. Why isn't he tracking it on the way in with a team set up waiting for it? It's a big ship and it's not on a stealth decent. Literally an arrow they say. So he's willing to send his...

The last season is a hard switch, but I do think it manages to turn out ok. At least, that's what I recall. I think I've only done that series twice all the way through. OMG the final ep was seven years ago.

That's ok, that's why Fringe was made ;)

Though I would never slander Harrison in the role, I think Tom could have done a good a job. Not the same job, certainly, but from his body of work I can see why they thought it'd work with him. One of those things that makes you wonder stuff like "What if we'd gotten Stallone at the Terminator"...

All previous aside, agree with the general tenor of the discussion. Cast for the talent and not the look. Occasionally you get a Chris Reeve, but you can't let that blind you to a Michael Keaton or a Heath Ledger.

The eat his heart line to me is more about how shitty and untrusting Claudio is, and thus requires almost nothing from Don John. He facilitates, but Claudio's the one who repeatedly thinks the worst despite his professed love. That's a recurring theme with Claudio, because he's also so gullible...

Nah, see, for me Keanu is just part of the silliness inherent to that play. I look at Dogberry and then to Don John and I'm like "yeah, this is what Ken Branagh asked for". Honest folks can disagree, of course, but of all Keanu's performances (some of which are very bad) I think this one is...

Hot take, I think his performance in Much Ado is legit awesome. He's playing a farce villain in a bit part in a romantic comedy. This is the same play with Dogberry in it. Keanu totally nails the assignment. I love that movie, his "Plain dealing villain" monologue included.

Got the official email that the Sentinel is delayed until Dec 15th. Which is great, honestly. Less stuff hitting my wallet int he next 60 days.
