IIRC the unique elements of the outfits (the Superman "S"-shield, the Batsymbol, the logos, possibly other unique elements) are all trademarked. You could have a Kal-El from Krypton, working for the Daily Star with Lois Lane (all elements of the first 1938 issue of Action Comics) but you couldn't advertise him as Superman from Action Comics #1 on the cover and would have to change his outfit so...not sure its going to be substantially different from the last 80+ years of Superman knock-off characters who had Superman in a different outfit working for a newspaper with a love interest (other than maybe having the characters not have to be part of MEGA-CROSS-OVER-EVENT-TO-END-ALL-EVENTS-EVER!!!! every couple of years as DC comics loves to do).

TNG "Journey's End" While I understand wanting to give Wesley a different fate than being an ensign again, why did they have to do so with such a terrible story? Why did Jean Luc's family from France suddenly become Spanish Conquistadors? Why did they not reference a specific tribe but just refer to the settlers as 'Indians'? Why did the Traveler disguise himself? Was there a point? Why is the Enterprise, flagship of Starfleet sent to do this task and what happened to Starfleet's ambassadors? Why does this kind of stuff keep being given to Picard? Troi offers no real insight to the proceedings, which is another missed opportunity to use her skills. And the biggie...why wasn't the option for the settlers to stay under Cardassian rule not ironed out as an option during the negotiation? It seem like a blindingly obvious idea that was missed by Starfleet. The whole episode's main story is pointless.

This may have been clear in the Anime, but I've seen people asking about it online. In the Glepnir manga, regarding Aiko, Honoka and Kaito... Re Shuichi and Claire's rededication At least that's my memory...going a few months between releases is killer, and I'll probably have to re-read the whole thing when it finishes... 😄

Could be a stroke, but there are other causes as well. Sad to hear, but hopefully he'll have a good management and see improvements (but kinda dependent on causes and type of aphasia, as I understand it).

Yeah, I know but given that I keep misspelling it, I figured I'd go with blanket notice that I keep typing Rub Ball, so if you see it know I meant Rug Ball rather be doomed to an eternity of editing...

Dang it, i see I misspelled Rug Ball as "Rub Ball" again... 😐

Well Big the Big was his favorite gun. He's hiding under the name in the Rub Ball roster. He's only supposed to be 9 feet tall (I think Cobra is 6 foot 6, but I think they still screw up the scale when they stand together), but only one of TWO human pirates that tall (according to the dialogue), and the only one with a gun he named Big the Big.

Came from a very non-huggy family so never had this problem as we never really hugged.

I didn't see the Matrix until years after it released. The trailers didn't grab me (and to be honest, I wasn't wowed by it when I did see it, I liked it but it wasn't as big for me as it was for a lot of people). I may try to watch the four films again at some point, though.

13 movies over 20 years - so not quite 1 a year. Mind you it really didn't pad out until the spin-offs started after the second cycle picked up. Also, Marvel's done 27 in less time so unless you're series is one character (Bond) you're probably going to rack up a lot of movies.

I'd go with - X-Men - good X2 - great The Last Stand - a huge disappointment First Class - great Days of Future Past - good Apocalypse - not so good Dark Phoenix - a huge disappointment Origins: Wolverine - mixed (some very bad elements mixed with some okay) The Wolverine - great Logan - great Deadpool - funny Deadpool 2 - funny The New Mutants - good, but also disappointing While New Mutants was released last, it was supposed to come out after Apocalypse and before Dark Phoenix. Parts of New Mutants, however, seem to reference the end of Logan which would put it chronologically last (and which just adds to the gibberish continuity of Fox's X-Men films). Deadpool and Deadpool 2 come in before New Mutants (but continuity wise, these three films share only tangential relationship with the main series).

Is "X-Men Origins", X-Men Origins: Wolverine, or since it seems like you missed the second cycle of films, do you mean X-Men: First Class? You saw the Deadpool films and New Mutants?

Supēsu Kobura aka Space Cobra Episode XVII: "Narazumono Chīmu" aka "The Good-For-Nothing Team" Cobra settles in as a Rug Ball player on Team 1. This was a really dense plot episode, lots of stuff happening to set up the Big Game Showdown next episode (possibly the next two episodes).

Movie - I think I posted the trailer here, but I might have forgotten...

TNG Genesis-we continue on the 'ST does horror' tour. Barclay's genetics cause problems when Dr Crusher 's cure backfire and devolves everyone. It's a fun 'crew turn to monsters and someone has to creep through dark corridors' run around with some nice monster suits. I did wonder if this episode is why Discovery went with the slightly more lizards look for their Klingons. Speaking of Discovery, I'm about halfway through season 2. I enjoyed the revisit to Talos IV, even if I found the differences in how the characters looked (outfits, Talosian makeup) a bit distracting (made more so with an episode launching with scenes from THE CAGE).

In the books Claire wears a bathing suit piloting the monster form because it's easier to take a shower than have clothes soaked in goo (since she's piloting from the inside of a monster) Admittedly the seeming fan service elements is why I took do long to get the manga, but the story I think justifies all the elements so far.

Regarding Guinan... Note I still haven't watched Picard, I've only read some of the back-and-forth online.

Probably not. 😄 Well the idea was to be such a super-giant-colossal name in film & television that I couldn't be told "no".

I love Star Trek the Motion Picture. When it came out in 1979 I begged my parents to take us, but they couldn't afford to. So I watched it when it premiered in 1983 on ABC. To be honest I'm fascinated by Star Trek: Phase II which TMP grew out of. If I was a super-giant-colossal name in film & television, I'd totally be pitching to Paramount a Star Trek: Phase II show (as an alternative timeline piece). That's just the kind of weirdo I am.

Mmmm, loving slow-mo flybys of the Enterprise in space dock...

I thought the Falcons trading Ryan for a 3rd round draft pick a bit odd (even though I can understand why they needed to trade him before he triggered some clauses in his contract). The QB they picked up from the Raiders, Marcus Mariota worked with our coach when they were both with the Titans, so I guess he's familiar with the systems.

I don't remember El-Hazard being completely awful, but in my defense, I saw the series once in 1995-1996 and at this point the only thing I vaguely remember about it was that the mountaineering teacher was amusing. That's right now the only male-lead isekai anime that I can say for certain I've seen (excepting random episodes of Digimon, I guess, but other than knowing I watched some episodes, I couldn't tell you a thing about it). I remember Escaflowne had a lot of buzz at one point, but I never tried watching it.
