Andor really ruined the rest of new Star Wars-stuff. Could not get into the first episode of Mandalorian S3 at all.

    Homegrove I get that. I just accept it for what it is. Hopefully Boba Fatt doesn’t turn up in this series.

        Dan It’ll be Asoka or whatever the hell the character is called - that’s the next D+ series they want to vomit over people.

          Agree with H. Andor was a pleasant surprise.

          I am legitimately looking forward to this

          I’m excited about Jon Bernthal back as The Punisher for Daredevil Born Again. Filming started in New York yesterday.

          18 episodes are going to be spread over 3 lots of 6. Ive almost finished reading Born Again its way too short to make the 18 out of it, maybe the series is just going to be in name only

          Wishing for more Snyderverse now more than ever

            If I was stuck on a desert island with Big Fella and a Cadbury’s Cream Egg, Id eat Big Fella and talk to the cream egg.

              Homegrove Mando is defo slowly getting better, but Andor is by far the best of the new Star Wars stuff followed by Bad Batch

                  erik Mando is defo slowly getting better

                  I know Mando isn’t Boba Fett, but I can’t get away from the armour and that the original character with that look was a Man With No Name / Eastwood trope. Seeing loads of them on screen at the same time, just kills it. As for the Barbie Mandalorians, they’re so badly executed.

                  Wrong direction for the characters. You don’t need to see the shark.

                      Amps nope. Not seen the first one either. Just found said post on a film-group in FB amusing.

                        Amps Boba Fett was horrific tbf, I don’t mind seeing more than one, the Armourer and Bo-Katan are kinda essential really to the narrative and the fact the some survived is cool. Hopefully they don’t overuse them

                        Agreed, Andor was superb, it set the bar very high

                                Sandman, quite like the writing, but the main actor is a bit kack and the art direction is cheap as fuck. Worth a watch though for Jenna Coleman alone.

                                Wife and I enjoyed Guardians 3. It was James Gunn on stereoids, so if you don’t like his stuff, this won’t be for you even if you like other comic book-movies.

                                Really enjoyed GotG3 - Great final flick from Gunn for Marvel.

                                I like the 2nd one with Kurt Russell.

                                Watched 3 today, not a patch on 1 or 2 imho, but still a bloody good movie

                                Stupendous cast did not save the first episode of Secret Invasion (thought Olivia Colman and Samuel L. Jackson’s verbal sparring scene was awesome, apparently they’re friends in real life and Colman has actually wanted a role in the MCU for some time, Jackson sorted it out). Might get better, but the hoped Andor of MCU it is not yet.

                                Watched Episode 1 of Invasion and it was like an upmarket version of Doctor Who. Can’t say I’ll be rushing back.

                                Like H said… Andor arguably the best thing Disney + have put out.

                                The Olivia Colman-scene in episode 2 of Invasion is the best thing ever.

                                A bunch of mid 40s dudes discussing Disney’s best work. Gas pipe stuff.

                                  zackster I have a chat where a bunch of dads are discussing what Star Wars-legos they’re getting their kids so they can help build them. Nerds grew up, and unlike boomers who used to be hippies and started voting conservative we never grew up.

                                    zackster Has your Mrs shut up shop then Zacko? Glad to see you’ve found another channel for your ‘urges’ 👍

                                      Dune 2 supposed to clock in at 3 hours Grant - you must be thrilled.

                                      One would imagine all that anger might make for some ‘entertaining’ boudoir escapades Zacko

                                        All the nerds are going crazy on Facebook, but I’m not feeling Ahsoka at all. Neither is my nerd wife.
