So apparently some kind of Star Wars trailer dropped last workweek ? I be in the future , so I ’m not certain , but since I could do two whole PAs just on The Force Awakens questions , I feel pretty safe about making the August 15 . But do n’t concern , we still have fourth dimension for Marvel motion picture , DC TV , Evangelion , and , of course , fancied role ’ private parts .
Rude Awakenings
Scottisle :
What did you think of The Force Awakens trailer ? I have it away it , but I ’m taste to keep a level oral sex about it . Do you think it has any chance of live up to the hype its already built up for itself ?
I loved it , but please translate I honestly have no ability to temper my emotions when it come to Star Wars . Oh , I may think I do ; I may have recollect the prequels have set aside me some excited distance from the franchise , that I can assume the series has its flaws , that my expectation have been tempered by disappointment and experience . I honestly have pass most of the last decade thinking this . And then the goddamned Force Awakening trailer comes out and ruins me .
There ’s a bunch to love about the TFA prevue — the fact that it has practical result and sets , that the Star Wars universe looks used and ill-gotten and really again , that it focuses on new character as opposed to shove classic characters like Artoo and Chewbacca in our faces — but I in person acknowledge that there ’s no way the motion-picture show can live up to the hoopla in my drumhead , because the plug in my heading is insane . As it turn out , I ’m still the Star Wars - obsessed kid I was growing up ( and in college ) , just trapped in a bloated , ever more weakly physical structure . I see the poke , notice no straightaway discernible problems ( and if you ’re about to bestow up the hilt , please see the next varsity letter ) and dead I consider The Force Awakens is going to be that utter Star Wars film I ’ve been expect for passably much since Empire Strikes Back come up out .
I ’m afraid mode too many Star Wars fans are just like me — we want this upcoming Star Wars flick to reach a level of idol that only 33 % of the film franchise has get by to reach in our eyes . We jazz how insane this is , but we ca n’t help ourselves . Our brains infer the odds against J.J. Abrams making a Star Wars movie equally as great as Empire Strikes Back are outrageous , even if Abrams had somehow made Star Trek movies that Trek sports fan universally make out ( which he did n’t ) . But our hearts — well , our hearts scream “ Never enjoin me the odds ! ”
So no , The Force Awakens will not experience up to the plug , because anything other than beau ideal will be criticized — think , we Star Wars fan did n’t get over the Ewoks until Jar Jar came around to contain the brunt of our contempt . By looking so damned good , The Force Awakens trailer gave us … well … a Modern hope . Too much promise , in fact . If I were a more sensible somebody , I would merely cross my finger that TFA would be a best - told news report in a universe more recognizably Star Wars - y than the prequels . I am not a reasonable mortal . We ’re all doomed .
There’ll Be Hilt to Pay
DarthKillyou :
WHY WOULD ANYONE NEED A LIGHTSABER HANDGUARD A LIGHTSABER WOULD reduce RIGHT THROUGH IT
I ’m go to take a wild speculation that if you ’re upturned about the claymore mine - saber in The Force Awakens trailer and are writing a bastard post - apocalyptic letter carrier about it , you ’ve heard the theory that it is n’t in fact a crossguard , but two little energy exhaust fumes ports , require because of the poor construction of the lightsaber . Moreover that you do n’t grease one’s palms it . I do n’t begrudge you refuse to accept possibility that are n’t backed up by the picture ( although since the photographic film has n’t come in out yet , we ’re all flying blind ) . But I would wish to direct two things out that hopefully will take into account you to get to sleep tonight .
1 ) No one in any of the six Star Wars movies has ever necessitate a crossguard . Seriously . Not a single lightsaber as used one , and of all the hands that have been thin out off , a guard duty would not have forestall any of them . peradventure it ’s just the accepted style of lightsaber duel , mayhap it ’s a proficiency that lightsaber wielders find out early so they do n’t have all their finger cut off . Either way , if no one ever needs them , it connote that this dude does n’t either .
So what are these footling light - nubs , then ? I think it could well be a low offensive weapon — a modest pointy bit with which to bewilder the foe just in display case . It ’s exactly like an axe may have a sharp tip up top , on the very off fortune you want to poke rather of chop . If you ’re maintain a lightsaber and postulate to punch somebody — which definitely happens — and you have what is essentially a little light - obelisk in your manpower , you ’re better off than someone with out it .
Or it could just be decorative . mayhap this fellow likes ’em because he thinks it looks badass . That ’s a dead valid intellect to me .
2 ) It looks badass . I do n’t peculiarly handle what the understanding is . Guard , not a guard , whatever . It look awful and I do n’t need to get bogged down in the actual “ science ” of lightsabers to think so . You do agnise that Luke ’s lightsaber in Return of the Jedi basically cut nothing , correct ? It ’s was n’t a bade on Jabba ’s Sailbarge , it was a baseball chiropteran . No one just sliced in the slight . It was like Luke had it on “ bludgeon ” or something . liken to that , this “ handguard ” is nothing .
Look , if you need to freak out about the lightsaber , by all means . I ’m indisputable there ’s shit I ’m fit to freak out about when I see the movie . But I ’ve seen The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones , and I get laid what actual Star Wars problems are . This lightsaber is not one of them .
Take a Kree
Professor74 :
I just saw Guardians of the Galaxy for the 3rd clock time this past hebdomad . I pluck up on something that I did n’t really think about too much before . Nova Prime mentions that Star - Lord ’s dad is from an ancient species . pay the departure on in AoS and the announcements of the Inhumans movie , could Quill ’s papa be an Inhuman ?
I do n’t think so . The Kree — the dispirited guys whose succus assist revive Coulson on Agents of SHIELD — did experiment on former human sapiens , thus create the Inhuman slipstream . But the Inhumans are somewhat strictly earth - bond , and it say quite specifically that Star - Lord ’s dad come from space . Thematically , it would be weird for Quill to be half - human , half - Inhuman when his destiny is supposed to be somewhere in the ace , do n’t you opine ?
Justice for Some
Bruce O. :
Mr. Postman ,
You lately answered a question about the possibility of the CW gyrate off the Atom into his own show . I am wonder what you think of the theory that the CW might be working toward a Justice Society show ? The Golden Age Flash , Atom , Black Canary and Wildcat were all prosperous Age extremity of the JSA . Plus , the Justice Society could mark from the Justice League movie universe of discourse , consecrate the TV universe an additional Earth-2 variety of smell ?
At the very least make the Atom the main character of a Brave and the Bold or Showcase team - up show with a rotating cast of the other heroes we ’ve met . It would give a spot to some of the present characters outside their tangential relationships to Barry and Ollie , plus allow for some TV rendering of as yet un - innovate characters .
I ’d say a Justice Society show is possible in the sense that the DC / WB / CW might not experience the Atom is a big enough draw to support his own hour - long superhero show . A squad show might be the way to go , but the members would have to have some very mild - await powers to make the sfx cost of such a show feasible .
But say they have the budget and desire to do a team of lesser - have sex DC Hero like the Atom . They absolutely would n’t do the Golden Age Flash , because that just chicane up their already successful Flash TV series . Black Canary is an Arrow character and authoritative part of the mythos go forward , so she ’s off - limit . I can see Wildcat moving from Arrow to a Justice Society show , and he basically just punch masses , so he ’d be bum . Limit Stargirl ’s baron to her stave and she ’d be a shoo - in . I ’m going to go out on a arm here and say Mr. Terrific would be a good choice — he ’s like Tony Stark without the Iron Man armour , which would n’t be hard to portray onscreen .
Hmm … maybe Doctor Fate ? Doctor Mid - nite ? perchance Sandman , although it ’s possible that the potentially coming Sandman film would cause a WB movie administrator to prohibit a TV Sandman , even if they were totally unlike characters .
Skull and Bones
Valandil :
Haha , awe-inspiring answer , Rob . I ’m now curious about why Skeletor ’s chief is a floating skull , though .
It ’s because Skeletor used to be Prince Adam ’s uncle Keldor , the brother of King Randor , but was deny the throne because of his bue pelt and Gar heritage ( racialist of the Universe ! ) . Already a bitter , evil dandy , he tried to flip a bottle of acid on his comrade Randor ’s face , who deflected it back onto his own . With his face effectively melt off , Skeletor ran back to his mentor Hordak , who merged him with an extradiensional demon name Demo - Man , as is a completely normal thing to do in these luck . While Keldor did n’t die , exactly , this did form a Modern being who was sorely lacking any part of a look — Skeletor .
If you ’re enquire how his unbodied skull works , well , I can only answer as a He - Man lover who has thought way too much about this . Neither Skeletor ’s jawbone nor the skull proper are confiscate to anything , but they are connected to his torso and each other thanks to the thaumaturgy of being merged with Demo - Man . This is also how he speak . Although one could operate his hand in the outer space between Skeletor ’s jaw and collarbone and give through it unobstructed , for all intent and role his skull is as securely seize to his trunk as any head is .
Rebuild Me Up, Buttercup
Samuel :
I trust this letter find you well and your geiger comeback silent ! My question is this : do you think that the Rebuild of Evangelion movies represent Anno ’s definitive reimagining of his original chef-d’oeuvre , a stealth - subsequence , a cash in , or somehow all of the above ?
Mostly a cash - in . I guarantee Evangelion creator Hideaki Anno only cares tangentially about the four movie remakes of his beloved series , if he care about it at all . The rumors were that he was over Evangelion even before the End of Evangelion movie , which popular legend he made depressing as snake pit specifically to bruise the fans that bitched about the remnant of the goggle box show ( when he and Studio Gainax basically fly the coop out of money for the last two installment ) .
I do n’t know if that ’s rightful , but I know that if Anno was really concerned about the artistic integrity of the Evangelion enfranchisement he would n’t have made these novel Rebuild of Evangelion movies , which are pretty and unlike , but have n’t come close to improving on the original series . And if he meant them to be his “ staring ” rendition of Evangelion , then I think he ’d believably have chosen to direct the four movies himself , instead of handing off it to others and simply publish the movies .
I have take heed some theory that the Rebuild of Evangelion motion picture are in fact a sequel to the original series — that after the world cease in the show , something happens to restart the events , but with a slightly unlike outcome . I ’m not certain I buy that , but even if that ’s what Anno intends , I still do n’t think it ’s making the original Evangelion serial any well . But remember , I ’m also the dude who prefersthe telly end to the film ending .
Why the original finis to Evangelion is the only one that matters
Crisis on Multiple Box Offices
B. Vega :
Mr. Bricken ,
prospicient time , first sentence . Love the show .
After study about the rumor of how Fox is drive the FF franchise into the ground . I ’m sorry , I meant grounding it in reality , I marvel aloud if a Convergence trend issue would ever happen / work for a cinematic world ?
I guess it ’s more a root to re - booting franchises the “ Marvel fashion ” after so many failed try and getting people excited about image another Spiderman , FF , X - Men , Man - Thing picture show . I also guess that I ca n’t ask a focused doubtfulness .
Thanks for taking my call . I ’ll hang up and take heed off air .
It could work on — kind of — but I would n’t bump . While it ’s feasible , it ’s just too much piece of work for too fiddling benefit . Say somehow Marvel begin all those rights back on the same twenty-four hours and can do your crisis on multiple Earth scenario . What ’s the welfare of trying to link the Marvel Cinematic Universe to these other movies ?
With the exception ( disco biscuit - ception ? ) of the X - Men moving-picture show franchise , they ’re all kind of bullshit — and even if you ’re an Amazing Spider - Man vindicator , surely you take that Marvel would for certain opt to create their own take as opposed to continuing Sony ’s . And as involve the X - Men , yes , they ’ve been doing well , but would n’t it be easier for Marvel to start the franchise over , design for it to be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe from the start than all of a sudden bring Kang in and having him seek to excuse why all these movie franchises suddenly co - exist even though Spidey and the Avengers have never acknowledged each other ?

do the people in tron have dicks and kitty-cat
Yes , but they ’re just USB 2.0 dongles and larboard . Unfortunately , they ’re in - scale to their bodies , by which I intend they ’re the size of it of an actual USB as equate to our bodies , which is why Tron and Clu and the balance do n’t have giant rectangular box stick out of their private parts .
Also , when two programme from the Grid screw , the points they ’ve mark appear over their heads so they both have a go at it who won .
