@john-folan I really struggled with it, it had some cracking bits in but then it was a bit rushed in parts as well, found some bits it was made out to be a really tough ask that turned out to be a bit of a let down.

The first was amazing, I did like the characters back though!

I see what you mean. I’m half way through and that seems to be a trend.

It feels like there was no real plan for a follow up. He kind of did it because he had to. Forced. Like the new Star Wars Trilogy. No plan at all. Unlike the Marvel Universe where there are obvious plans and it works. On that note I have to say I’m looking forward to the new The Marvels film. Monica Rambeau was leading the Avengers when I first started collecting and she was a great character. Despite all the online hate Brie Larson is a brilliant Captain Marvel(not sure why she gets so much hate to be honest. Maybe people don’t get her very dry humour). I’m hoping they bring the original Captain Mar-Vell into it(he died of cancer in the comics. Really powerful graphic novel if you can find it anywhere) and Ms Marvel if she is anything like the version in the Avengers game will be a great addition.

Pumped for the Loki tv series as well.

Bit off topic but I’m reading Ready Player Two. Whilst it’s nowhere near Ready Player One it’s still a half decent read despite the fact he went a bit ‘woke’ a few chapters in. I’ve no objection to what he went on about just that it felt ‘shoehorned’ into the story. This seems to be happening a lot lately with books, films and tv and it’s a shame because it annoys a large percentage of people and probably has the opposite effect of what the writer(s) were/was trying to achieve. They need to be a bit more creative so it’s a proper part of the story and not an add on because they feel it has to be there. That said. Good book give it a go.

Finally got around to watching Brightburn on Netflix yesterday. Good film. Being a fan of the proper Superman story I was curious about this. Great idea to flip the 'good guy' aspect.

Despite the crap reviews Jupiter’s Legacy is surprisingly good. Audiences’s seem to like it 38% review score on Rotten Tomatoes but a 73% Audience Score. The public have it so far(episode 4).

Anyone watched Brassic? Recommendation from a family member. Bunch of lads committing petty crimes up north. Pretty funny so far!

It's got Grumio in from Plebs and the if you're familiar. Also Joe Gilgun from This Is England.

@darri I agree, they have their own tv channels the top teams anyways they already have the kit they just need to get smarter with their content.

Yes you are right, on ads alone on YT the club would get millions a year in revenue, plus it would hit massive audiences their sales in shirts would increase as a result lol

Ryan

@dan-mackinnon I think it might have been that one, I’ll dig it out and check it. I mean I watched the end of the storm by sky 1.5 hours and it wasn’t anything special.

I love the CrossFit ones they they do, I literally buy it every year to watch it. They’ve nailed it! I don’t even do CrossFit lol because if I did I’d tell you wouldn’t I?

Richard Latimer

@john-folan I'm totally special.....

Just started watching Jupiter's Legacy tonight with my son. Decent enough adult aimed superhero fodder. Nice origin story with flashbacks where you're piecing the puzzle together.

Agree there. It got a slagging on rotten tomatoes by the critics but ‘normal’ people like it

Not you then Mr Autism?!

Feck off Mr ADHD

@martin-futter Good call on Castlevania. Enjoying it immensely. You might want to give Love and Robots a try. Second series just out. 10-15 minute shorts. Very Black Mirror.

Finished 'When They See Us'. Well worth a watch.
