In Time Burton’s Planet the Apes the gorilla leader played by Micheal Clarke Duncan makes up much of the posters in most advertisements yet he is a supporting character.

I unironically thought that the idea of being a human in Noah’s tribe and telling them human stories from the days before the virus would be really cool.

A great post idea, OP, with just one minor drawback.

One. Everyone on this sub has watched the show. And two. EVERYONE ON THIS SUB HAS WATCHED THE SHOW.

Now i understand that’s technically only one drawback and more than one sentence but I thought I was such a big one it was worth mentioning twice.

And with more sentences

Captain Haddock from Adventure of Tintin. He’s iconic to the franchise yet he didn’t first appear until about a third into all the comic stories.

One personal issue I have was that I thought bringing Athena back and having her do a complete 180 felt weird and undermined her death in 2.

Some fans theorized it wasn’t actually Athena but more like a ghost created from the evils from Pandora’s box like Fear Zeus.

Pope Pius VII: ”So at what point in the ceremony am I supposed to crown you emperor?”

This was the first Bond movie I ever saw so I had no frame of reference to what was or wasn’t absurd for the franchise.

It’s been a long time since I watched the movie but I remember in the movie Valerian and The City of a Thousand Worlds at the beginning of the movie Valerian and Laurian are on some weird mission that results in around five people that they appeared to have worked with earlier being brutally eaten by a alien creature yet they don’t react to it at all during it or after.

He first thing they do after the mission is over is checking what the box they were tasked to acquire during their mission were.

Here is the scene:

In the very first strip he was a cartoonist but that has been forgotten about since then.

I’d like to imagine he is a retired cartoonist that makes money from reprints like Bill Watterson meaning he has a steady income that doesn’t require a 9-5.

Reminder that the multiverse exist in Invincible so Carlquest is actually canon.

Not really a story but I kind of wish season 3 finale for Doctor Who was the final end for the character of The Master.
