6 Fantasy Show Cancellations That Still Make No Sense
Bingewatched Travellers recently, and found it to be one of the best shows I have ever seen. It got rushed to an incomplete and bad ending, apparently after getting little notice it was being canceled. I've never seen a show so complicated, where every detail was important, every red-herring WASN'T one, and managed to just keep getting stranger and more convoluted- now THAT'S what I call television! Not sure how to classify it, probably straight sci-fi, but there were so many deep ideas and what-ifs there. Was a shame to see it fall apart and end so soon.
"I Grew Up With Keanu": Tom Cruise Praises Keanu Reeves & Reveals He Calls Him About Big Movies
That could be 10 levels of wrong... in a good way. Who do we root for? My first thought would be neither. Have a third act interloper like Reacher or Jason Borne- or better yet, Court Gentry finish them both off.
Mission:Wick. Hmmm, something to this, I feel a screenplay coming on.
I Can’t Believe The MCU Is Set To Introduce 2 Of Its Most Powerful Characters In The Same Year & Yet It’s Unlikely We’ll See Either Of Their Full Powers
Now, I'll it I'm not so familiar with Franklin, but it sounds like they could simply ask the newborn to send a future version of himself for a chat, and then have older him simply wipe Doom from existence and clean up the mess. Isn't he pretty much on that level, even as a child?
Sure, I get that turns Doomsday into DoomSlay, and cuts the runtime from 2+ hours down to 22 minute sitcom range....if they stretch it, lol.... but isn't that the power level we are talking about here? We will have met 4 invincible, unbeatable characters by the end of the year.
Okay, they got clever with Thanos, but he didn't really flex THAT hard, and they groundhog-day'd him. Yeah, sure- with the gauntlet, he'd have beaten all the heroes in his sleep... but they had to sell a movie, so okay.
They currently list Scarlet Witch as 'dead', but that doesn't the sniff test either. I don't know if we get yet another redemption arc, but I like Olsen in the role, would watch more- but where do they go?
So then add in Franklin and Bob? How do you audiences to relate to 4 characters who can change reality on a whim? They did a reasonably good job with Thanos, and Wanda has some history with us before she peaks.
People are going to cry foul if they Nerf these guys to severely, but at their comic-accurate power levels, I just can't see where they go? I can see a movie where we see a Franklin and Wanda sitting in chairs facing each other, each warping reality for a few hours. Might be fun, but it doesn't seem to propel the story forward.
10 Marvel Movies That Could Fill The MCU’s 2028 Release Dates After The Avengers: Doomsday & Secret Wars Delays
Maybe, but it really depends on Doomsday and Secret War's reception. If they're hugely successful, and set up a natural story going forward, it might fly. If not so much, forcing more Anthony Mackie down our throats might backfire. Personally, I like the guy, but I thought he was better as a sidekick. I know it's comics-accurate, but I have a hard time accepting him as Captain America. I simply liked Evans in the role more, and would have watched him in 10 more movies..... but I get that reality gets in the way.
But, they have to either supercharge him or the mantle on fairly soon. This Cap, with no super-serum, simply can't keep up, once we add the 4, some X mutants,and others on the way. Honestly, I kinda think he'd make an impactful sacrifice, which might pave the way for a multiversal replacement.....
Jared Padalecki's Favorite Supernatural Episode Is One Of The Greatest Hours Of Television I've Ever Seen
409230 Hands down my favorite episode. Seeing their reaction when they see Ruby, now Jared's wife, is priceless. The huge murals of Genevieve and Jared on the walls is hysterical, and seeing them make fun of Jensen's time on soap operas felt almost too real. And Misha being himself. And. And. Just a riot, especially the more you have watched, and get the in jokes. Sure, I love Mystery Spot, and the school play episode is a very unique episode as well, but Mistake is epic, and maybe one of my favorite hours of TV ever.
PS- if you liked the 'groundhog day' vibe of Mystery Spot, watch Travellers. It's a great show anyways, easily better than most sci-fi in the last 20 years, but late in the second season, there's an episode with their take on a bad time loop. It's not really played for laughs, but in the context of GHD and Mystery Spot, I couldn't stop laughing. Oh, it's horrific, and gory as all hell, but.... just watch it.
"He's Like A Crooner That Knows How To Carve Up A Monologue": Tom Cruise Reflects On Filming Jack Nicholson's Famous Courtroom Speech In A Few Good Men
An all-around great movie, and one of the best courtroom scenes in cinema. It's so much more than the sum of it's parts, and I believe it is at least partly based on a true story.
After Seeing Thunderbolts*, I Think I've Figured Out Why Bucky Barnes Became A Congressman In The MCU
After answering a similar comment below, I kept thinking about this, and looked it up. A congressman is ALWAYS a member of the house. It is improper to call a senator as such, and is grounds for censure for one senator to call another a congressman. But I have seen quite a few similar statements lately....
Makes me curious, is this talk radio's new 'i is smartz' gotcha-statement? Like the super-cringe "America is not a democracy, <deep, derp> it's a constitutional republic!" Virtually every country on earth now has some kind of constitution, which makes that first word meaningless, (Of course, ours is better than most, but results may vary...) Factor in the misuse of the word republic in many countries, like The People's Republic of China, and it's almost bad enough where we should coin a new term. But by definition, a republic is simply a type of democracy where we elect representatives to vote for us on most issues.
Is this article that badly worded, or is this just pedantic nonsense by people who have too much time to spare?
After Seeing Thunderbolts*, I Think I've Figured Out Why Bucky Barnes Became A Congressman In The MCU
Call a senator a congressman, and they'll likely have their security drag you to the gulag, lol. While you are absolutely correct in theory, in ACTUAL use, a member of the house is called a congressman, and someone in the senate is called a senator. A senator is never referred to as a congressman.
After 21 Years, Marvel Has a New Most Powerful God (And Even the One Above All Is Scared)
Since 'The One Above All' is supposed to actually BE the Christian God, they ed that line a LONG time ago. While I am not particularly bothered by it, the idea that Thanos beat Him is FAR into lightning bolts from heaven territory.
Perhaps these discussions aren't your cup of tea?
Forget Superman Vs. Goku, Here Are 10 Dream Character Fights We Really Want To See
John Wick vs. Reacher vs. Court Gentry vs. Jason Bourne. Any or all of them, as they are all virtually indestructible. For that matter, add in Ethan Hunt..... and then Jeremey Renner, and make them a superhero team...... now THAT'S a movie I'd gladly pay $25 to see! ;-)
10 Movie Assassins That Would Give John Wick A Challenge
Lol, you list a bunch of people that John Wick would snap in half with his eyes closed, and skip The Gray Man, who has finally leapt from the books to a feature film? I hope Court Gentry comes after you.... :-)
The Brave & The Bold Concept Trailer Brings Jensen Ackles' Casting As Batman To Life In James Gunn's DC Universe
Jensen would make a great Batman, especially if they decide to finally give him a sense of humor. Of course, then the casting of Robin would have to go to Jared or Misha... ;-)
"Everything I Said Was 100% True": Ben Affleck Reflects On His Infamous Armageddon DVD Commentary That Called Out Its Ridiculous Plot
Having spoken to both deep-sea drillers, and astronauts, Ben is only partly correct..... It IS FAR easier to train a driller to be a non-pilot astronaut than to teach someone to drill. But they did not need to send the whole team- just one or two specialists....
