The Balance of Terror episode of Strange New Worlds illustrated perfectly why Kirk is necessary in a Federation where the Picards and Pikes seem like the traditionally perfect captains.

Elliot Page?
It's amazing how Marvel elevated the post-credits scene and then abused it into recurring disappointment. It ended up being as bad as the Sony and DC afterthoughts that turned out to be studio wishes instead of sneak peaks at plans.
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (series) is on MeTV. Set your DVR and he'll have a new episode waiting for him every Sunday morning.

Just saw an interview with James Gunn that says that in this universe, superheroes have been around for 300 years.
Both DC and Marvel went from "The superhero age began with Superman (or Human Torch/Submariner for Marvel)" to... but we did have superheroes in the old west... and some of the Greek and Roman gods were superheroes... and then the Norse legends...

Josh Gad is set to star and co-write the script
I didn't see this part.

No. I really don't need to see Gad on the promo circuit telling people how Spaceballs changed his life and what absolute honor it is for him to step into John Candy's shoes. Please no.

Taking Mel Brooks' role so that he can give a comedic version of his speech from Independence Day.

Do we really need yet another take on this?
Based on the number of previous successful and entertaining versions we've enjoyed over the past 125 years? Yes. Keep'em coming. The story is that good and that timeless.

Would be a badass miniseries

The Robert Stack film is pretty enjoyable. He can be a pretty wooden actor but the story carries itself.

Why do we not get more Revolutionary War movies or miniseries?

Honest answer? Patriotism and nationalism are now viewed as bad things, especially by most of Hollywood.

You folks are saying this like we had some previous decade packed with American Revolution war pics. Even during the height of WWII, post-war 50's, and Reagan's America (some very patriotic decades) you had to learn about the Revolutionary War in the classroom. We didn't have John Wayne or Tom Hanks throwing 1770's history at us every year or so.

Growing up, we had Daniel Boone on NBC. That's about the only us vs the British thing that I remember being exposed to.

It's crazy how much VFX work has regressed

"...and X dollars?"

"Looks good to me. X it is."
Dick move to post spoiler images in here.

And that’s not Superman’s son. It’s a character from the comics that evidently is a plot revelation.

Final Trailer for 'Superman' | DC Studios
Glorious. Can't fricking wait.

General Rokurota Makabe

Well, if you're going that route...

John Carter
Dejah Thoris
Tars Tarkas
Luke, Han, Leia.

That's the "main character" to me. Everyone else are allies and adversaries of the core.
Gadot had the challenge of living up to the worldwide love of Lynda Carter (and did well). This next poor woman is going to have the obstacle of overcoming the overwhelming acceptance of both Carter and Gadot. Good luck.

Atlantis never sounded the same after that.

Don’t want to start if there is no “ending”.
There are a few endings. They went from the series to films, back to another series decades later.
quote:

Because Supergirl is a minor character, not a major one. Hell, Robin is more important in the DC universe.
Not a fair comparison. Dick Grayson is one of THE most important characters in the DCU. He goes beyond sidekick as the bridge between two superhero ages and Nightwing is the amalgam of Batman and Superman.

Supergirl isn't a minor character. She's just overshadowed because her cousin is the archetype that all superheroes followed.
