    Gotta Catch 'Em All! - Pokémon Thread

    I had an outbreak with two shiny Skuntanks! Skunks love to shine I guess.

    Disney+s Live Action Rescue Rangers Is Not What You’re Expecting

    I hope the plot doesn't sideline Gadget for a big chunk of the film. It's 2022! You can't bench the token female. (Plus obviously she's awesome.)

    Futurama - new season on Hulu

    Given how tight those dudes in that corner of the voice industry are, I'm surprised that any of them would agree to go back without the whole team - and surprised that they want to recast Bender. They're really asking for nerd backlash. It's sad to see DiMaggio walking away from that...

    Disney+s Live Action Rescue Rangers Is Not What You’re Expecting

    Well that trailer is INSANE. It's genuinely hard to believe it's real, because there's just so much bonkers stuff in there. Roger! MLP! MC Skat Kat?! I'm not thrilled with the casting, I mean... I'm fine with it really, but obviously as a grumpy old man I'd rather have the original cast in the...

    Ghostbusters General

    I think there's room in the franchise for varied approaches. AtC and Afterlife are both brilliant expansions of the property in different ways.

    He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe

    Yeah, hopefully good news. Seems like they'll probably be able to get the stupid thing off the ground finally. Nice to see that they dabbled with the franchise and then decided they wanted to turn the dial to Maximum MOTU.

    Gotta Catch 'Em All! - Pokémon Thread

    Historically I'm not sure that Pokémon is a franchise that has had a great hit rate when deviating from its core formula, but man, this is good. I'm absolutely loving it.

    Allsparker Telly has passed away

    Really just a lovely dude. Always a pleasure to see him posting here and on Facebook, and his enthusiasm for travel after his Hawaiian adventure was infectiously delightful.

    He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe

    Wave three of Masterverse, man. Andra is spectacular and could reasonably be expected to be a character they would half-ass. But no. And Fisto and Stinkor... my two favourite MOTU characters in one wave, and both just stellar. Decades of collecting toys, and if I had to give up every item but...

    Ghostbusters General

    What a lovely movie. It was much less A Ghostbusters Movie than the last three, but it was a superb expansion of the franchise and a love letter to Our Boys (and obviously one in particular). So nice that they got the band back together and gave us a real, onscreen finale for the original cast...

    IDW to Lose the Transformers License?

    There have certainly been ups and downs, but wow. Almost two decades. It's sad to see the relationship end. Has there been any talk about whether IDW will still have MLP? I really hoped we'd get more (good again) Clue as well.

    He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe

    No, it's all pre-show but there's a lot of stuff about Skeletor and the Horde, Lyn's early life and meeting him, the Orlax of Primeria who becomes Duncan's buddy in final episodes. Some hardcore stuff about Face Tattoo Teela and the other secrets her friends and family have been keeping from her...

    IDW to Lose the Transformers License?

    For many years now Image has been publishing many of the best books on the shelves, so I have no doubt they could do great work with Transformers and Joe. It is a weirder fit than Boom or Dark Horse or even Marvel really. But it would be good news.

    IDW to Lose the Transformers License?

    I'm sure Boom would do a great job and indeed they seem like a good fit at the moment. Generally my opinion of Dark Horse is that they're a bit old and tired, but after their MOTUR mini my faith is renewed a little. Marvel got Conan back, maybe they can have TF again as well! Heaven knows...

    He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe

    Well. On the whole I loved it, though I doubt I'll rewatch it as many times as I have the first half. Turns out the Dark Horse book is virtually required reading, there's a LOT of stuff in the back half of the show that is expanded on there. I don't know if I've EVER seen a media tie-in that...

    Marvel's "The Eternals" - Tickets Now on Sale

    I enjoyed it a lot Man, this could not match my own experience better. Saved me a lot of typing. I don't think Marvel (post-Kirby) has really ever been able to do anything worthwhile with the Eternals as a whole, though some of them have excelled elsewhere individually (well, Sersi has, and...

    X-Men '97 - continuation of 1992 Animated Series

    Crazy news, good on 'em. I love that they're getting a bunch of the cast back, but they did say some of them will be in new roles so there will obviously be a fair bit of recasting - but you would expect that when so many years have passed. You can't get classic X-Men from the X-Men books...

    He-Man, and also the Masters of the Universe

    With no face on display, Duncan looks terribly generic and hard to read as A Toy I Should Care About. The others look pretty spectacular though. I want these dudes real baaaaad.
