Loll, his sacrifice was not in vain. I've still haven't seen the extended endings because I was satisfied with the original.

As a comic nerd I felt like I had brain damage after seeing origins in theaters. However, I do agree the major problem with the movie is the last act with "Deadpool" and the battle history was awesome. The video game based on the movie is awesome.

Mass effect for video games, Rebuild of Evangelion for movies, and Old Man war for Books. I know only mass effect is a trilogy (Andromeda doesn't exist) but I feel like all three stayed with me after finishing them, and the character development and plot lines all had satisfying conclusions.

I can think of 20-30 more interesting stories and characters to make a TV show on from the DC universe

If you live near a college, check their surplus or recycling. I got a brother printer for the low price of fixing a paper jam.

I understand, and I definitely don't fault anyone who likes the show or stuck through it. I just feel like too many shows I've been watching lately hasn't been worth the slog to get through, and it's been killing my excitement for franchises.

For example I haven't watched house of the dragon because game of thrones rushed ending, Picard season 3 because of season 2, and I fell off the marvel train after Wanda vision, falcon and winter soldier, and she hulks endings, all shows that either ending in nothing burgers or wtf I guess we need to end somehow.

I don't think anyone who sat down and watched through the first 3 episodes can honestly say the show is being review bombed. Im enjoyed Ashoka and Boba Fett and I honestly have no interest in wasting my time finishing the show.

It's like the nothing burgers of the Disney star wars comics. The Darth Vader series was great, and I love the idea of bleeding light sabers red. But everyone other series leading into the last Jedi was a waste of time, and I bought and read every single one.

Minnesota is as much as a toss up as Alabama

I'll have to give prodigy a chance, I loved Voyager and I heard there is a lot connections but the Voyager connections to Picard season 2 is partially why I needed a break from Trek, lol.

The problem isnt woke, the problem is CW level writing. I've watched every episode of star Trek up to season 2 of Picard and the writers of discovery not understanding the speed of light, and it feel like the writers are just in qualified for their positions. It's so bad.

The writing for all the previous shows all had their highs and lows, but characters acted within their characterization and had genuine motivations. Picard season 1 was a rip off of mass effect and old man's war, with the facade Picard shoe horned in. Season 2 you have him chummy with a cold blooded murderer who faced no consequences.

I liked discovery for the first few seasons, but the plot holes, inconsistencies, and poor characterizations, left me feeling like watching the show was more habit or chore. I also never really felt like I got to know characters because their actions are so off the wall that you don't figure out the algorithms of their personality and motivations.

I honestly feel like lower decks has been the best Star Trek made in this new era, but I haven't seen brave new worlds yet or Picard season 3. I just needed a break after Picard season 2.
