Isn’t that what most action movies are? and isn’t that their appeal? Seems a really stupid criticism. Similar to criticizing a kids movie because two women hug and kiss for a split second 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Omega Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 The Terminal List is great. I've got 1 episode left, and it starts out a little weird, but man, it just keeps getting stronger and stronger as it goes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got 1 episode left, and it starts out a little weird, but man, it just keeps getting stronger and stronger as it goes. Just finished it. Really good. The only thing I didn't like is that Spoiler Taylor Kitsch's character wound up being in on it. In the first scene he was in I figured he was in on it because his characters usually are, and I was pleasantly surprised when, halfway through the final episode, he still wasn't in on it. Then they just couldn't help themselves, and that predictable shoe dropped. Oh well, great show anyway. I hope they make another season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemack8 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Finished From last night - really enjoyed. Definitely getting major Lost vibes from it - then I looked up some stuff on it and saw it has some of the same producers, etc. Seems like I'm not the only one who came to that conclusion based on reviews I read Looking forward to season 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Omega Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Ambulance - Michael Bay at his Michael Bayest. If you don’t like big, loud, ridiculously shameless action movies, then this probably won’t be for you. But you’d be missing a big, steaming, bloody pile of awesome. Drags on a little too long at the end but so what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEW Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Quit The Witcher, dropped from Superman, but gets to star and produce his dream project. Not a bad trade off. Been waiting about 35 years for this to be put in live action. Hopefully they don’t F it up, because it has Star Wars level potential, only way more violent. If anyone’s interested, here is a really well done fan animation to give you an idea of the setting: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally i think Necromunda has the best potential but GW never pays enough attention to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally i think Necromunda has the best potential but GW never pays enough attention to it. Warhammer+? I heard it was trash... like they took that Astartes short plus some other indes making animation on YouTube, but they’re just not putting out enough quality content. But yeah, Necromunda would probably be the easiest to put on screen, and definitely cool in a sort of MadMax type of vibe, but 40K is clearly the money maker and everyone wants to see marines slaughtering heretics, xenos and witches. Plus there is soooo much source material from 40K. Even going beyond the Horus Heresy series, there’s Eisenhorn for a detective series, Gaunts Ghosts for some Band of Brothers type action, Cain if they want something a little more lighthearted — hell, even pure cosmic horror with Dead Sky Black Sun. They could make about 20 quality TV shows each with a different theme/genre without even touching on any of the major characters of the setting. From what it sounds like, they’re trying to do a 40K cinematic universe, so I’m expecting Gaunts Ghosts first then Eisenhorn to prove it has an audience, and if it catches on, they’ll do a full on Horus Heresy blockbuster for theater. That’s my hope at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s my hope at least. I'm more of a Blood Bowl guy but I do play a bit of 40K. While they have definitely improved the storytelling aspect over the past couple decades, i still don't think the 40k universe is any more intriguing than a raygun World of Warcraft. I do love the shite out of my AdMech army (got a decent 1k about 40% painted) and I think the models and fluff for them is a country mile better than most of the universe. But i dunno, the Heresey and all that stuff makes my eyes water with boredom. It's really dense with not a lot of cool payoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
