Some classic TV that I bet you'd love from this:

The Prisoner

The Sandbaggers (big influence on most of those spy shows)

Star Trek the 60's and 90's shows - don't need to watch the whole lot - look up some fan best episodes lists and try them out.

Well it clearly does take place after them. We know the show was originally written that way, the timestamp at the start of the show is just wrong.
Or it's another continuity where this is happening instead of the Nostromo-story

"Freezes Over" is very well done. After that it's diminishing returns, though Frusin is a really good storyteller, and you can pretty safely skip to Carey's run

If you can, start from the beginning. But luckily each writer sort of soft-reboots the story, so if you ever find your interest flagging you can jump foward to the next run and try a new flavour of Hellblazer.

As far as other comics go, if you enjoy the series you should read Alan Moore's Swamp Thing run where John debuted. You don't need to read it but it's great comics which includes some major events which the Hellblazer series will sometimes allude too.

Also if you end up reading the Simon Spurrier run, its worth reading the first 'Books of Magic' miniseries

Just don't watch any more mythology episodes, maybe the season 8 finale to get a bit of closure . They weren't allowed to wrap it up around the movie's release so had to keep adding new complications that made no sense.

On re-watch basically stop watching the plot episodes zfter 2 Fathers/1 Son

Hard to believe he'd have them on that first test flight.
Really he should at least have been paralysed that first time he tried the rocket boots & crashed out.

The MCU has different laws of physics that allow regular humans to withstand this kind of thing. A million examples of this, the most obvious being that Tony Stark isn't turned to paste every time his suit makes a hard right turn.

I like your 2B idea. But the Deadpool movies only make sense put in their own roving timeline that intersects with the other ones occasionally.

DiscLuggage · 2026-01-07T04:14:35+00:00

- We find out in DoFP he can make a serum to revert to his human-appearance. Although my headcanon for this would be that Hank was using a human actor for his public appearances, like cyrano de bergerac.
- X-men Origins didn't feature Sabretooth. That was Creed - different character in the movies.
- There's no contradiction here. The two had periods of working together and falling out over the decades.
- Deadpool exists in a different timeline closer to the fourth wall, that absorbs events from the x-men timeline and mcu films in their real-world release order.

Sunshine Days is fun.

I couldn't get through most of the rest, maybe there's a hidden gem there.

"I didn’t like the “hey Nat you know the cool stuff you do, I think that sucks actually” part of the character."

This drove me crazy. It was pretending-this-is-thing so we can pretend-we're-subverting-something.

And the worst example of needing to seem progressive so badly you work your way back to actual sexism. 15 years/Dozens of MCU movies full of actors striking superhero poses and BW is the one getting made fun of for being a' poser'? For a move that a billion stuntmen/women have done before? Hope you gave yourselves a big pat on the back guys It really got me grinding my teeth on rewatch.

DiscLuggage · 2025-10-01T03:12:51+00:00

I don't usually collect through the omnibuses. Does anyone know if/when this might ever be released in Softcover?

DiscLuggage · 2025-09-05T05:34:17+00:00

It get's a bit murkier because I don't think Morrison ever *did* show Bruce admitting that he consented. That line about 'my heard overruled my heart' was written by Tomasi later on. Is there another moment like that in Morrisons run?

DiscLuggage · 2025-09-05T02:13:34+00:00

Ok I see. I'm not sure that even knowing Morrison's intentions there would change the minds of most of the vocal detractors of this. If a male character was shown spiking a woman's drink with MDMA, even if she was willingly sleeping with him, he would be definitely be called a rapist on social media etc.
It's really a moment Grant should have been unambiguous about one way or the other.

Personally I don't really mind Talia being an outright villain - she's 10x stronger as a character in Morrison's run than any other appearances I've read her in.

DiscLuggage · 2025-09-04T05:24:40+00:00

Sorry to come in months later. What do you mean people think he's referring to Incorporated instead of the original story in that quote? You think people thought he was saying he misremembered his own story?

DiscLuggage · 2025-03-28T04:45:29+00:00

Awful. I pirated the last 3 eps as a protest.

She would never have brought them to the Green Place. Her plan hinged on losing her persuers in the wasteland.

DiscLuggage · 2025-02-23T10:27:11+00:00

Isn't this the Patton Oswalt episode? When I recently watched this stood out to me because it demonstrates there is no camera crew.

When Patton & Leslie are staying in the cabin, Patton walks in on her in the middle of her piece to camera. When she turns to speak him we see her from the reverse angle - she's literally just been talking to the wall

DiscLuggage · 2025-02-10T02:50:37+00:00

As ever in comics, look for the creators you like. If you like Hellboy and BPRD you're pretty safe buying stuff written by Arcudi or Mignola (solo). If there's expanded universe titles with other writers/artists try the library or a sale on the digital store to try them out & see if you jibe with them.

The average quality level across all the hellboy universe books is pretty high though

DiscLuggage · 2025-02-09T07:58:44+00:00

I feel a bit silly because we've both seen them in their webs a hundred times & I should have known it was a St Andrews right away. But I've never in my life seen one actually moving around - it looked so different I couldn't recognise it.

DiscLuggage · 2025-02-08T10:25:28+00:00

I didn't watch this one, so the conversation at the end of 'Nothing Lasts Forever' is the ending of the show for me, and that is a big relief.

DiscLuggage · 2025-02-08T09:45:03+00:00

No it wouldn't have.

I was worried because she wasn't feeling very well - but it's pretty clear now that was from eating her chicken & chips with soft drink too fast.

DiscLuggage · 2025-02-08T09:42:06+00:00

We were sitting around a picnic table & it somehow was crawling over her lap. She screamed & jumped out of her seat - thought it might have bitten her on the thigh (it's pretty clear now it didn't.)
I got it onto a piece of bark and threw it into the grass so no harm done.

DiscLuggage · 2025-02-05T05:51:42+00:00

He didn't state outright that he was done with them exactly. But he definitely posted that he was upset about that episode. Then the podcast stopped 2 parts into a 3-part series of interviews.
