Re: Star Trek
Oh, yeah. I should’ve specified the best part of Spider-Man the movie was Keaton. Probably the best performed comic book villain ever.revbob wrote: ↑05 Jan 2018, 8:13pmIm no comic nerd but I thought Michael Keaton made the movie interesting.

I like Homecoming a lot, but I’ve been waiting for a believably teenaged Spidey for a while.

Re: Star Trek
I can speak to the Daredevil reboot, since it was given up by the hated Fox for Marvel to do correctly. And now with the Disney purchase of Fox properties (leaving aside the horrifying actual consequences), the FF can now be done correctly, so I don't see a reboot there for a while unless it's part of a larger cinematic universe shift (one that's theorized we'll be seeing after 2019 when most of the actors' contracts are up).Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑05 Jan 2018, 11:23amIt's an odd thing that (most) superhero movies are extremely successful in terms of profitability, yet they keep getting rebooted.

All other reboots are because the films sucked, revenue notwithstanding.

Have had TNG on in the background. The racist doctor Pulaski has just appeared.

I think Family might be my favorite TNG episode.

Re: Star Trek
That might be the official moment when Riker was replaced by Picard as the action guy.

Re: Star Trek
Not … incorrect.
https://www.avclub.com/star-trek-discov ... 1822501041I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: What the hell is Discovery about? Star Trek: Five-year mission to explore the universe. Next Generation: Same remit, without the time limit. Deep Space Nine: What happens if you stay in one place? Voyager: What happens if you get lost? Enterprise: What happens if we go back to where it all began, and also Scott Bakula needs a paycheck? Discovery: What happens when a protagonist betrays her captain and inadvertently helps start a war with the Klingons and gets sentenced to life imprisonment only to get saved by a captain who turns out to be a guy from another universe and also her boyfriend is a secret Klingon and right that war is still going on and spores!
