Tbh i never understood the hate rise of the tmnt. It was actually really good, but people refused to give it a chance because the internet told them to. Rise deserved so much better

That’s so fucking real though. It’s a shame it didn’t get a chance to shine, because of butthurt nostalgic fans who were offended by the way it was different from the other itirations of tmnt. At least we have an active love and fanbase for this show now :3

The King's Man (2021) Daniel Brühl as Erik Jan Hanussen

This was one of many Daniel movies I'd already seen before I became a simp for him. I remember loving the first installment, The Secret Service, and hating this one in comparison—even though the second one, The Golden Circle, should have clued me in on the franchise's waning quality. But rewatching it for this monocled fiend, knowing fully what to expect, and having become more familiar with Matthew Vaughn's style since then, I was able to enjoy it for the hot, campy mess that it was. Learning from this, I was also able to enjoy Argylle. Do I need another installment with Erik as the Shepherd? Not necessarily. But I'd still be at the cinemas on opening day. Especially since it will reunite Daniel with August Diehl and David Kross.

I’ve finally seen dial of destiny and it was pretty good! Did we need another movie after the last one? No. (Did we need one after the third?) but it was a fun time and it did a lot of elements well.

My favorite thing is seeing all these people freak out that *gasp* a woman, might be the next Indiana jones. Which… have you seen either movie? Indy is not giving that away to anyone. At the end of crystal skull when the hat goes to mutt he immediately yoinks it back. If he wasn’t going to pass down to his own son why should he his god daughter (this movie also ends with him taking his hat back)

The “title” of Indiana jones isn’t going to anyone and never was. Firstly he wouldn’t just pass down to someone he went on one adventure with and secondly it’s his own name why the hell would someone else take it? Get your own nickname (which! Short round, Mutt and Wombat all do) there was never going to be a passing down!

These scenes with the hat signify Indy isn’t going anywhere, but it’s the end of his story.

Alien 1979.

What the Whoniverse could learn from RTD's first era:

The Stolen Earth and Journey's End are one hell of a two parter that has The Sarah Jane Adventures along with Torchwood to crossover into the main series. Characters and elements from each spin-off it utilized as a means of helping the Doctor against the greatest threat the Daleks have ever posed.

However, it also involves aspects that few wouldn't be able to catch on quickly. I hadn't seen The Sarah Jane Adventures since it never made it to the States as far as I know. However, I knew that Sarah Jane was still investigating alien phenomenon as "School Reunion" showed. Of course, she'd have a supercomputer in her attic. I also assumed that Luke was a boy she adopted before learning his origins in "Invasion of the Bane."

Kind of wish we saw Maria and Clyde when Luke called them with their actors on the sets of their homes. Maybe have them gawk at the Daleks from afar and hold on as the Earth is towed back. Maybe a cameo of Rani if they felt bold enough to promote SJA Series 2.

Torchwood, on the other hand, I had seen in full before Series 4 and as such, I was able to appreciate some nods to the spin off such as Gwen calling her husband, Rhys, or telling Ianto that she'd rather go down fighting like Owen and Tosh.

However, I wouldn't have needed to have seen the spin off since I'd have known that Jack had a team in his sect of Torchwood since Series 3. We're just meeting them in the main series proper.

Additionally, we don't need to know about Rhys to understand that Gwen's calling her loved ones during this worldwide crisis. "Owen" and "Tosh" are easy to identify as previous members of Torchwood that had died in their dangerous line of work. Their two seasons of adventures are just self-contained enough to be basically backstory for them.

As such, Series 4's finale feels less like you had to have seen both spin-off to understand and more like they pique your interest in them. What was Jack up to during Series 3 and 4? What's going on with Sarah Jane these days?

That's really what the new Whoniverse should take a cue from. The Main Series crossing over with the spin-off should have us feeling less like we missed out and more like, "Cool, I know what I'm putting on my watch list ASAP."

Thought?
