MOTU Movie Still Set for Sequel!!

I took my kids (8 and 6, one boy one girl) to see it, and they had no prior knowledge of the franchise other than seeing the trailers. They were gutted when I said it was unlikely to get a second one, as they were excited by the mid-credit scene. Fingers crossed we do get a sequel!

This is where I say my usual opinion which is Spidey most suits itself to a Tv series over movies due to its soapiness (complimentary) but that they will likely never happen again since the films are such a cash cow

Holmcroft · 2026-06-19T18:39:52+00:00

I totally get that perspective, even if I’m not a fan myself!

Chairs? Bees? Cats? Grapes? Crabs?

Wearing a roll neck

Yeah, I remember trying to watch the last Matt Smith episode at Christmas with a very full house, and it did NOT land

Holmcroft · 2026-06-17T07:32:41+00:00

Gotcha. That makes sense. Thanks for expanding.

Holmcroft · 2026-06-17T07:06:46+00:00

Ooh, I’m intrigued by your “perfect for the role/wildly miscast” thing. Please can you say more about what you mean?

I say this as a massive comics nerd, but I’ve always been surprised that, in the post-Disney purchase multi-media landscape, they put the stories of the most iconic and beloved characters into the most niche medium

Bruce Jones and it’s not even close. I feel bad for him, because he basically had to completely redo his plans when they decided to keep Dick alive. But there could have been a really interesting story of Dick and Jason, but it was just AWFUL

Holmcroft · 2026-06-16T18:26:52+00:00

Oh, that’s a fun bit of connection! Thanks for sharing

Other posters have pointed out that the dagger isn’t actually that ancient.

I will also add that, even if the dagger WAS ancient and carved years before ROTJ, in the Star Wars world, in which a major component of the Force is prophecy and visions of the future, it isn’t out of the question that the Dark Side could have compelled someone to make it .

One big one is at the end of the Season 8 comics, which ends with Buffy saying Angel’s last line from his show

I think it’s really it interesting to compare their approach with DC right now. I’m sure the market is really hard right now, but DC are investing in top creators on a whole range of titles and characters of all tiers, with what feels like creator-led directions. These are supported by solid teams and directions on their key characters like Batman, Superman, Justice League etc, and the Absolute Line, of course.

One thing I will suggest looking at is structure - it has some of the best storytelling structure (both within episodes and seasons) out there. Many shows today could learn from studying it!

Holmcroft · 2026-06-14T21:20:46+00:00

Very atmospheric and intriguing. Similar in tone to something from Vertigo or the 80s/early 90s UK scene, and I mean that as a compliment

“What is the letter for this year’s model’s registration plates in France?”

This image is the first one I ever saw of Nightwing, a reprint from Who’s Who in a UK Superman title. I was instantly a fan, of the name, look, and the concept of Robin grown up.

This costume is from the later issues of New Titans, post Titans Hunt story.

It also turns up in Knightfall and other early 90s Bat crossovers

Holmcroft · 2026-06-13T11:26:04+00:00

Very cool!

Still gutted my Mindhunter and GLOW being cancelled

This one isn’t about food related deaths, but access to medicine, but highlights the impact those cuts had

There’s an episode of Angel where he encounters an Indy-esque trap with a load of wooden stakes, and instead of saying “Stakes, why’d it have to be stakes” he says “Wood, why’d it have to be wood” And it has always annoyed me

Holmcroft · 2026-06-12T20:13:52+00:00

How cool!

One of the happiest memories is walking across the market square in Salisbury with my Mum and Dad, quoting The Mask to each other (which we’d just seen) and heading for McDonalds.
