I suspect many of DCs future projects depend on James Gunn/Peter Safran and the DCU. Even though Harley Quinn is outside of the DCU, as the head of DC Studios it's technically under Gunn/Safran.

If Superman does well in July I expect we'll see the series renewed. If not, it's probably over.

I'm sure Gunn/Safran would renew it now if they could, but money is probably still a bit tight.

I completely agree, I didn't expect most of this episode. Also Brainiac seemed to breaking the fourth wall when he said goodbye. It's a fun universe so I hope it's not over but if it is, probably couldn't have asked for a better ending.

I saw an interview recently (I think with a writer) who talked about how nice it was to have a (yearly) sitcom. Having a reliable job has its perks. Willis could always go back to John McClain. Jackson could always be "mothetfucker guy" , now he's Nick Fury.

Plus for Jackson he is just playing the comic book character already drawn to be him.

For anyone who skimmed just the headline,

On our shows, we were dealing with the old Marvel television regime, which operated independently at Disney.

This isn't overly surprising, especially as Perlmutter was known for being incredibly thrifty and unwilling to spend any more than he deemed necessary. That ultimately played a big role in Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige asking Disney CEO Bob Iger to become a separate entity without the input of Perlmutter or Marvel Entertainment's Creative Committee.

Ike Perlmutter is the exact opposite of who you want in control. He'll sacrifice anything and everything in the name of profit, you know like a "good businessesman". I would challenge anyone to find a positive article about Perlmutter.

I mean I'm hoping all communication is over SSL/TLS so he would likely only have DNS information.

Not to say this isn't absolutely horrible and unnecessary, but it isn't likely as bad as it could be. (Unless Starlink does some man-in-the-middle attacks, and/or has full control of the White House systems to install Starlink certificates, which is a possibility.)

Frank is really the only person he can speak to about daredevil.

Also Karen, although she is away at the moment I expect she'll return soon.

I expect we'll get a more specific breaking point, but Matt is already training, he's already looking for something to fix.

His words to Angela were that we have to trust that "someone" will find the people responsible. Matt already started down the path and ended up talking to Frank. I fully expect him to continue down that path next episode. The question is, will he try and put them through the justice system first? Or just start to solve it on his own?

The whole episode is Fisk just taking loss after loss. Vanessa's affair, performative Mayoral duties ("We built this city"), and the Union story leak. Then we just cut to him having a nice meal, with Vanessa's affair partner locked up and pleading for help.

Fisk just seemed so defeated from the day, but when it was over he was still in control, still in power, still taking care of things. It was a nice reminder that in private Fisk always gets what he wants.

Apparently, IMDB credits the voice to Maury Sterling.

The article missed it but Sgt. Rock previously appeared in Creature Commandos during a flashback with G.I. Robot.

So a film featuring Rock might also feature our Nazi killing robot friend.

So I completely agree that Dexter peaked at season 4. I enjoyed the rest of the series, season 4-8, with things slowly just getting a bit worse. The finale of season 8 was not great.

Dexter New Blood, the one season revival, is fun and worth watching. It has some holes in it, but it's fun to see Dexter back in action.

Then, Dexter Original Sin, the one season so far prequel series, that had been really great. The actors who play younger versions do a fantastic job.

And now the upcoming Dexter Resurrection is something I'm looking forward to.

Basically if you want more Dexter or are curious, I think it's worth it, if not, no biggie.

There was a thread a few weeks ago discussing the decline of theatres. The one, and only, suggestion from theater owners was to have a 90 day minimum theatre time before films moved to streaming/physical media.

At the time that idea seemed silly to me. Usually if I want to see a film, it's opening weekend I see it. Maybe the second week, but usually before the second weekend.

But this film is leaving theaters less than a week after release? I saw Mickey 17 was announced to be leaving before being in theaters for 2 weeks.

I guess I understand the complaint from theatre owners now. Maybe 90 days is too long but shit you gotta draw a line somewhere. You gotta give films a chance if you want theatres to stay open.

So many films post pandemic have their "Exclusively in theaters" taglines, but for how long?
