    RIP Jim Shooter. So many great titles of my youth both at Marvel and Valiant. He wrote the original Secret Wars. The entire Venom franchise owes itself to him dropping the symbiote in Secret Wars #8. Valiant was so refreshing to read. X-O Manowar, Solar, Unity, and most importantly Harbinger. The latter really stuck with me. It felt like my generation's X-Men.
  2. PIHB regulars might notice a certain someone as one of the NASA team
  3. The numbers for Mando are double and triple that of Andor. Maybe that was the highlight of Disney+ but the subscription numbers are still high for it. The Star Wars TV show returns are trending downward since season 3 of Mando. Lucasfilm is done with TV after Ahsoka season 2. There's just no profit in it. You just have to enjoy the special unicorn we got that is unlike most Star Wars fare. We won't see its like ever again. linux, you want it to be one way
  4. I disagree about the memberberry era being put down. The highest rated TV show in the Disney+ era was Luke returning in season 2 of Mandalorian. The reason The Force Awakens did well was because it was almost a carbon copy of the original. People want the familiar with Star Wars. For all of us that enjoyed Andor, it still wasn't that popular with the fandom. It really wasn't a show for people who love laser swords and mystical things with the Force. I'd argue that bringing Luke into season 2 was probably the worst thing Filoni did because it pushed Mando to the background and altered the story too much. I think it's why Gilroy had no desire to bring any Force beings into Andor. He knows that it's like K2, they immediately become the story because they are instantly the biggest thing ever. Disney wants Star Wars to go back to the cinema because that's where the money is. Yes, they need better scripts and stories but it's hard to argue with the billions the sequel trilogy and Rogue One made. That's why Mandalorian is going to the cinema. The problem is has Disney watered down the brand too much with Disney+? We may be seeing that with the MCU. The two biggest post Endgame movies were continuations of existing stories, in Guardians 3 and Deadpool 3. The future of Star Wars isn't in Gilory's hands, it's in Filoni's. That's not going down the Andor path. The next animated series isn't trying something new, it's going back to the Darth Maul well again. I'll watch but it's not exactly treading new territory.
  5. This looks great.
  6. Good luck with that. You're getting more Mandalorian and Ahsoka from Lucasfilm. Maybe the James Mangold dawn of the Jedi movie will be what you want. Maybe the Shawn Levy Ryan Gosling movie will have some of that but I doubt it. Lucasfilm is done with TV after Ahsoka season 2. Best you can hope for is animated series on Disney+ but that's Filoni's domain.
  7. Dr. Anna seems....touched /Gordo's mom.
  8. This could be a cool way to see it. And it's not Jaw 3-D. It's Jaws in RealD 3D.
  9. This seems like it will affect the Big 12 race next fall.
  10. I thought we were in for a wild ride with Kumar yesterday but he was really effective. He really only had the one bad pitch that led to the HR.
  11. Two Weeks Derangement Syndrome?
  12. 144M worldwide. That's a monster number for an original movie. I need to see this before the week's out. I think IMAX screens have this till Thursday, July 10th when Superman comes out.
  13. I’m giving you a night call to tell you how I feel
  14. People are going to be annoyed by everything going forward if they keep using Andor as the standard when Star Wars has been more like Ahsoka than Andor for most of its existence.
  15. No Secret Invasion was rock bottom. She-Hulk at least was trying to be different. Secret Invasion had this...
  16. It's actually stolen valor. Someone else had that line before.
  17. Jesus, he looks like Ozempic Trump.
  18. We have said that many times before. The barrier to entry for a lot of people is that it is an animated series. Once they get past that bias, they can let it in and it clicks.
  19. They want to deport him. Remember, they are the most racist, vile humans.
  20. Just killing it this transfer window.
