  1. They do have to confirm an S2 first. It was #1 in several countries not just for weeks, but for the specific time window Netflix uses for evaluation. (It's slightly odd: for a subscription service and alleged breaker of conventions, they take a lot from the world of regular telly.) Mary Sue spotted that a WGA credit for S2 has been put up, minus one writer from the original team (Lauren Bello - which would be a touch gutting, as she wrote the script for Sound Of Her Wings.) HOWEVER: a lot of production houses will submit placeholder registrations if they think a sequel is inbound. And as we know from recent events chez WB, even having film in a can ain't no guarantee that a new series will happen. As @neilhimself noted - he owns exactly none of the rights to the characters (and neither do Netflix if it came to a fight). DC do. But Neil owns the character's souls. It's a very peculiar vision and would need at least some of his blessing, which previous scripts didn't. Showrunning Good Omens - which came out not just brilliantly, but on time and within a reasonable shouting distance of the original budget - also made Neil a bankable producer with a head for business, cinematic vision and entertaining audiences. So it makes sense to have Neil in charge. That said. Netflix and WB are both in financial trouble, WB-D worse. HBO Max badly needs more hits to survive the reboot. The books have been flying off the shelves and merch is coming.And David Zaslav is a hardnosed shark, not a creative. If Zaslav smells money in the water, and S2 isn't yet at least optioned, it might not be the easy layup you might think. Also, they have to pick which stories to tackle. The threats from Lucifer & Desire, plus Azazel's brief guest shot (oddly the only bit of CGI that didn't work so well)... they aren't just telegraphing. It's Neil jumping up and down with signal flags screaming Season Of Mists. But if they follow the path of S1, that's one half-season. They've already blitzed Preludes and Nocturnes and Doll's House, plus a couple of bits of Dream Country. I would - and I doubt Neil is a visitor here, but here's hoping - politely ask for a couple of curveballs...

  7. I can have that effect on people, but usually they buy me a drink first.
  8. They knew it was coming and they were ready, even down to casting an actor to do YouTube comments. Who - glasses aside - appears to be the living incarnation of the Soyjak meme.
  9. Republica - Ready To Go

  11. So, Episode 3, The People Vs Emil Blonsky:
  12. Janelle Monae - Oh, Maker
  13. I hear ya. The Oscar Isaac Moon Knight wasn't exactly a Mouseketeer, mind. You could easily have the nasty bits occurring offscreen in the viewer's imagination and just hint. As both an example and segue: right at the end of Hawkeye, we see Maya confront Kingpin, and then there's just a gunshot. In the comics Fisk takes a bullet to the face, but y'know, hey, whoa, Christmas show so it's left to the viewer to decide. Speaking of which: D'Onofrio has confirmed he's returning - but what shape is he in? (Other than large and quite round...)

  19. Well, he's a comic, he's a hero to many... but is he the villain in his own story?
  20. Not mine, but some clever chap created an Ambient ScotBeats mixer: https://www.matteason.co.uk/scotbeats/
  21. I'm testing out my Symphsonic Dom (keep an eye out for "Selene Dyonne"). It's certainly fun and varied: and IMnpHO, what brings you fun is better than minmaxing down to the nth degree. Tips: If it gels with your build and concept, you may find the Sorcery Pool very helpful at lower levels. A nice ranged damage, a combo Fly/TP, a really handy status and damage resist clicky, and a couple of team buffs. Once you're strong enough, decide whether to respec it out or keep it. Once you can afford the inf and slots, the Devastation +Hold proc is your friend. It's only a 15% chance to hold, (and only 50 Merits if you buy the recipe), but once it's on all your single target attacks then you'll have plenty of bonus holds. See also: Lockdown +2 for Chords Of Despair and Deafening Wave. End is a problem, but 3-slot your inherent Stamina and use any proc you can apply to other powers to get more: and step right up to that full Domination bar for free refills.
  22. Thing I learned today: Encephalitis Lethargica, the Sleepy Sickness, is real. And has nothing to do with bottling naked goths. (Not that that's a wise idea. We don't like it much. There will be glowering.) It's also the disease Oliver Sacks treated at Beth Abram in the Bronx, which became the book and then rather good movie Awakenings. Didn't make that connection at all, but now.. We don't know much more about it - like the precise cause - since there hasn't, thankfully, been another major outbreak since the one that came on the heels of "Spanish" Flu in 1917-1921. Mr. Gaiman does seem to be very well read.
  23. Electric Dragon - Kara's Theme (Salvia Remix) Complete soundtrack on YouTube Music: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_n3n4co6UNQcD7VV0AfZdt2s3GVM31mncI&feature=share
  24. Well, I've learned something today. And am probably going down an internet rabbithole.
  25. We didn't see Hulk and Caiera in Ragnarok, unless he's just discovered he's an absentee dad from a one-night-stand. For one possible bet, I'd have Hulk (and Korg!) head back to run the other half of Planet Hulk: an assault on the people of Sakaar by the Red King. Hulk comes back to the fight, deals with the King and hooks up with Caiera. For the other, this is a set-up for the Secret Invasion series. As the Skrulls are good (or at least some of them) in MCU continuity, some of the action might happen on Sakaar. Side note with big reference to the series and a possible spoiler:
