Not to mention if an event happens and they have to wait for a tribunal to act. In the universe they are in that delay could be deadly. I mean the senate and congress works roughly what? 4 hours a month? An organization like SHIELD would in theory keep them in check.. like a branch of the military. I would say that any event involving other super-beings of course needs immediate action taken by the Avengers.. but what do they do with normal, every day atrocities? When Russia attempts to take back Ukraine, what role do the Avengers or other fringe heroes take, if any?

"The Crystal Shard" was my favorite. It would be a tricky topic to do his story on any screen, IMO. Sad, but true. My favorite was the original trilogy as well. I agree that it would be tricky. He skips around a lot with timetables. I would have preferred a more linear progression to the books. And, who do you cast for a drow? And, how would they dress him up? Makeup? CGI? As long as it's not animated, I'd be fine with whatever they came up with. I think there is a lot of content to make a movie franchise out of it. You can introduce his friends in subsequent movies. Bruenor Battlehammer, Catti-brie, Wulfgar, Regis, Guenhwyvar, etc.. I don't know what the demand for that would be. But, a lot of people didn't think Lord of the Rings would get much of a return when it first came out. Oh well, a man can dream. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are NEVER too old for cartoons! Only too close-minded. I believe I was 20 at that time? 50 now. Probably my favorite cartoon, even to this day, is "Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers"! I was 16 or 17 in the '80s when it was on (at about 7 am! Imagine: a teenager up at 7 for cartoons?!). It was a sci-Fi with a Wild West overtone. Peaceful aliens had visited earth and shared tech secrets such as hyperdrive. They had established a force for law & order called the Galaxy Rangers led by Captain Zachary Foxx (voiced by the dearly departed Jerry Orbach, the original Lumiere from "Beauty & the Beast" & Lenny Briscoe of "Law & Order"). I own the complete series and highly recommend it. One of the first anime-style shows produced entirely in the US. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched them all twice thru now. Great show, but some parts, tough to stomach (in terms of betrayals). Spoiler The Slavers ship chapter (season 2?) was rough. The hatred and following action from Brida was irritating. You seen Vikings? Also strong.. but gets rough to take.

The slaver ship is also my least favorite storyline. But start to finish, just a remarkably strong show. Loved Vikings, but I didn't like the new Netflix Vikings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrissooner49er Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Saw another memorable episode of "X-Files" I had forgotten about: "The Unnatural" in Season 6 which was written & directed by Duchovny! Little gray men and baseball! What an episode! Last night, we watched "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" and were very entertained. Sequels can be good (except for Ghostbusters 2--that should never have been made and Murray concurs!), reboots...not. In my opinion, Egon's granddaughter steals the show. So much fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the last 3 have been pretty bad. Spiderman was all fan service but the movie wasn't great. Eternals felt like a DC movie. Strange had a host of issues and was ultimately maybe one of the worst Marvel movies they have done imo. You either go the full Raimi or don't have Raimi direct. Even Shang Chi was pretty weak all things considered, but I'd consider that more of a "meh" movie more so than anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still haven't fully seen the first Dr. Strange, but thought this one was ok. Shang Chi didn't really do much for me either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
