See All8 People You Didn't Know Played The Hulk
I met Lou Ferrigno years ago at Wizard World Philly and discovered that TV and movies somehow don't do him justice. His biceps are as big as my head and he had to bend down to get both of us in the picture. Otherwise I'd have been staring at his sternum!
Yeah, yeah, I know I didn't say anything about Fred Tatasciore or Max Ferguson or Ron Perlman or anybody else who voiced the Hulk in animation. Deal with it 😝
I Think I've Figured Out Why Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor Who Regenerated Into Billie Piper
More accurately, Disney forcing an unnecessary change because they're kowtowing to the NoT mY dOcToR brigade who can't tolerate one of those people©®™ in a lead role. Just like they did to Star Wars: The Acolyte.
“Nobody Really Cared”: Walter Koenig Says He Took A Break From Star Trek: The Original Series In Season 3
Fortunately, Walter Koenig got a much better role some years later when he portrayed Psi-Cop Al Bester in Babylon 5.
As Joker Turns 85, Let's Fix a Problem With the Character That's Been Brewing for Almost 40 Years
DC Comics tried to reintroduce the fundamental chaos with the Three Jokers storyline and got crushed for it. Further, by dismissing the end of Joaquin Phoenix's movie, you miss the point that it was also trying to reintroduce the chaos by showing that "Joker" wasn't a person at all; it was a kind of virus or parasite that could be ed from one to another. If anything, Folie à Deux suffered from the fact that only that idea was clear and that Lady Gaga's part was a clear afterthought.
This Cult Classic 1980s Sci-Fi Teased A Sequel That Still Hasn't Happened 45 Years Later
Flash Gordon succeeded as a cult classic rather than a bonafide blockbuster solely on the strength of the soundtrack by Queen. Otherwise, it's excessively expensive camp just like George Clooney's Batman & Robin. That's the real reason why it never got a sequel.
Jeri Ryan Says Captain Seven of Nine’s Mystery Star Trek Warp Command Idea Is “Evil Genius”
... should have allowed the creature to come all the way through and devastate both Starfleet's and the Romulans' gathered armadas as Picard died on the surface of the planet. The second season should have told the stories of various current and former Starfleet officers who were Picard's many proteges. Picard himself could easily have continued as a major force in the series through flashbacks and "never before seen" recorded messages.
Discovery has multiple problems right from the start, and I'm not even through the first season. What was the necessity to change the Klingons so drastically? They've gone from vaguely caveman to insectoid in appearance without any explanation. Klingon speech used to be guttural but clear, but it sounds like they all have mouths full of mashed potatoes. Their names used to be simple, like Worf or Kor or Gowron, now the names are much more complicated. The names of some of the prominent Klingons, T'Kuvma and L'Rell, actually follow more of a Vulcan naming convention. They've also gone from being an almost cartoonish representation of toxic masculinity to religious fanatics. This series also has Vulcan extremists (?), mind melds that stretch over several parsecs (One parsec is approximately equal to 31 trillion kilometers or 3.3 light-years), and a human capable of 𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 mind melds. I was trying to let all that go until episode 11 put Discovery right into the most played out, excessively used gag in all of Star Trek: the mirror universe.
So it was the mirror universe that set me off ranting about lazy storytelling and how much I despise it. Although, I suppose you could say I've gained some patience. When a Vulcan lost his temper and yelled in the pilot of Enterprise, I turned that off immediately. On the good side, my aggravation was sufficient that I got the dishwasher emptied, refilled, and started again.
