Sci Fi Scene

Okay, so when did the “old main character becomes old mentor to new character trope” become so despised? I freaking love that trope and I thought other people did too. “Batman Beyond,” “Creed,” “Legend of Korra,” “Logan,” all of these popular things have that trope and they’re all cool. I like seeing old characters I love passing on their knowledge to a new generation; I think it’s interesting and fun. I don’t get why people hate it now and I really don’t wanna see it die.

Season 2 trailer! https://youtu.be/CLJDR-vFUdY?si=fmykt3PpzxaaUaN3

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/chris-pratt-millie-bobby-brown-131500077.html Well I'm in.

There's a trailer out, if anybody's interested. It never works anymore. So I'm not going to bother linking it. But it's super easy to find on YouTube.

Okay, from what I'm hearing, not many people are watching this masterpiece (either because they don't know about it or the trailers didn't appeal to them) which means it will flop. We can't have that happen, so if you're seeing this, I ask that you go watch it. Even if you're not a Transtormers fan, it's great for explaining the lore to new ones, and so I think it'll be equally enjoyable for all. The designs, animation, setting, and character arcs are all super well done.

https://www.inverse.com/entertainment/spaceballs-2-star-wars I'm skeptical. I can't help it.

I just re-watched for the first time since reading the book and its sequel. I know lots of people criticize the movie for not being a faithful adaptation of the book but I'm actually really glad it's not and believe the differences between the two versions are one of the biggest strengths for each version... It keeps either from spoiling the other and keeps you guessing what will happen next. I'll go into greater detail in comments on this discussion but be warned they will contain spoilers.

https://youtu.be/laIES7iJXko?si=kLb88vTe5bLPCc4e Again, this probably wont work. But, hope springs eternal I guess. @jojomojo_95 I just watched this. It sounds like there's more coming.

So I just watched a YouTube video about upcoming movies for 2025 & 2026. The movies it listed are: Minecraft, Thunderbolts, Elio, Megan 2.0, The Fantastic 4, Tron Ares, Avatar 3, A J.J. Abrams Star Trek origin, Soulmate (Megan spinoff), Avengers: Kang Dynasty, Project Hail Mary, The Mandalorian & Grogu, The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping. Thoughts?

This has been the Scariest movie of 2024 for me. I genuinely haven't had a movie scare me to the point where I didn't want to look at the screen in years. I fell asleep with the light on. This had everything to do with the ending climax. If you are unfamiliar with the Alien franchise I think you could go watch it and not feel left out of any plot devices. This movie is worth watching for the end alone.

How do you interpret the last scene of John Carpenter's The Thing? Obviously, spoilers follow for this forty-year-old movie.

Did anyone else fail today's #moviedle because they didn't know there was a comma in the movie's title, I knew what movie it was from the first second of footage but my guess was counted as incorrect just because of one missing comma. I haven't attached the movie in question to avoid ruining the game for others who haven't played it yet today.

For those interested in the "science" behind F.T.L. travel in sci-fi. What is the best/your favorite method? Warp like Star Trek? Hyperspace like Star Wars or Stargate? Wormholes like Stargate or Babylon 5? Any method. Any medium. Any franchise. Why do you prefer it?

So what did we think of season 4?

I am so disappointed that Netflix has canceled this show. I really enjoyed it. I thought that it was well done.

John Carpenter's The Thing, which is rarely streaming anywhere with a subscription alone, is currently on sale on Fandango at Home (formerly Vudu) for only 5 dollars. This sale is only on for today, August 3, and tomorrow, August 4, 2024. Additionally, it may only be available in the USA.

So there's a trailer out. I'm not feelin it. Parts of it feel like Star Wars. But parts of it feel like our world.

I recently finished Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I am disappointed. I wanted to like and enjoy it more. I enjoyed Lena Headey in Game of Thrones and Summer Glau in Firefly. I can’t quite put my finger on why I did not enjoy it more. Have you watched it? What was your reaction to the show?
