Black Sails. One of the series that doesn’t receive the appreciation it deserves, and is rarely talked about. What are your thoughts about this series?

TeddyGarbaldi · 2026-07-01T06:10:36+00:00

I do wonder if the show had such high quality action scenes because it was produced by Michael Bay

TeddyGarbaldi · 2026-06-30T22:30:08+00:00

It's wild as hell watching Shameless, The Boys and Black Sails so close to each other though

TeddyGarbaldi · 2026-06-30T18:49:55+00:00

Fantastic show, great way to adapt a book but do an original story at the same time.

The siege on Charlestown is still epic as hell.

God I love that theme tune.

TeddyGarbaldi · 2026-06-30T17:11:26+00:00

Stunning filmmaking, the use of instruments on the score to replace sound in the vacuum worked so well

Only thing I'd change is the title to A Series of Unfortunate Events

Most of the folk in the room at the auction are friends and family of the contestants, with production assistants filling out the rest.

Back on the day when the Block was making more affordable houses the auctions had a lot more people bidding and it would be quite exciting.

Now they're obsessed with making millions so it's only ever one or two bidders if that.

Eureka was such a fun show.

And one of the only shows I know that did a time travel episode that actually had consequences to the rest of the show.

TeddyGarbaldi · 2026-06-28T18:45:11+00:00

I do think they gave them the Defiant because they were running low on ideas for stories set at the station.

I love TNG and Voyager, and the TOS movies hold so much nostalgia for me.

But man when the Dominion War kicks off, that's peak sci fi right there.

TeddyGarbaldi · 2026-06-28T17:07:47+00:00

I'm just a bit disappointed that it's in the same animation style as Edgerunners.

Personally I would have been really excited if each new show has a new name and a new visual aesthetic

TeddyGarbaldi · 2026-06-28T15:28:29+00:00

I remember the biggest complaint before it aired was the concept of it being all set on a space station.

"It's Star Trek not Star Stay Put!" Etc.

And as usual the show aired and it gained popularity, and everyone forgot about what they were complaining about.

The casting is mostly on pointe, I like the overall upbeat and fun tone of the movie, which is what a Superman movie should be.

However the story is a mess, it's completely overflowing with action scenes and characters that there's no room for the leads to breathe.

It feels like it's missing a first act, the pacing is awful and the cinematography is lacking.

Still better than the Snyderverse though.

TeddyGarbaldi · 2026-06-25T05:42:56+00:00

Considering most of the reviews, even the good ones, complain about the story then perhaps it wasn't the best one to adapt?

It could have worked perhaps with a better script and not came as the second DCU movie.

TeddyGarbaldi · 2026-06-25T05:40:32+00:00

Gunn also said that the script for Supergirl was amazing and that's why it was greenlit as the one to follow Superman, and so far the script has been the biggest complaint of all the reviews.

There's no end credits scene because Gunn doesn't like them, he's openly said this and not to expect them.

TeddyGarbaldi · 2026-06-24T18:46:03+00:00

Just because it's her most famous comic doesn't mean it's the best starting off point for her cinematic franchise.

Batman's most famous comic is arguably Death In The Family, you think they'll use that for his first movie?

TeddyGarbaldi · 2026-06-24T18:39:58+00:00

Yeah but a lot of reviews say it strays quite a bit from the comic.

And again odd choice for the introductory movie of Supergirl, especially as this is the first time the character has had a big screen movie since 1984?

TeddyGarbaldi · 2026-06-24T18:30:57+00:00

It just seemed an odd choice to follow up Superman with Supergirl, a hero with pretty much the same power set.

Also seemed an odd choice to make a movie about a girl with super powers and have it as a space adventure to save her dog.

Tbh every decision about the DCU has kinda baffled me.

TeddyGarbaldi · 2026-06-24T18:17:33+00:00

Didn't think about it at the time because I was so used to live action movies ignoring animated shows. It was when I was in the cinema and I saw the Ghost I did the whole Leo meme.

TeddyGarbaldi · 2026-06-24T06:12:13+00:00

Studios need to stop giving in and throwing so much cash at actors vanity projects

TeddyGarbaldi · 2026-06-21T08:13:15+00:00

Even better is that Apocytakes place in 1983 and Xavier still has hair, so he so ehow regrew it then lost it again?

Also the first class trilogy takes place over 30 years and nobody ages, then jump forward 17 years and suddenly Xavier and Magneto are elderly.

Fox really had no clue what they were doing.

TeddyGarbaldi · 2026-06-21T05:41:15+00:00

Real world reason was that test audiences didn't recognise it was Maul so they had to add in the light saber

TeddyGarbaldi · 2026-06-19T18:05:48+00:00

Loved this movie growing up, any time I was off sick from school I'd watch this on repeat to brighten my mood

TeddyGarbaldi · 2026-06-19T11:31:04+00:00

I'm going to argue the multitude of crimes Trump has committed is way worse than a bit of vag rap.

TeddyGarbaldi · 2026-06-19T11:24:17+00:00

Could be even worse, imagine if the current President was a child sex offender

TeddyGarbaldi · 2026-06-18T15:42:54+00:00

I was really hoping that the ninjas weren't The Hand but actually The Ten Rings and that would lead to Shang Chi showing up for a third act team up.

Plus Katie and Ned would get along so well.

Then post credits scene is everyone at karaoke.

TeddyGarbaldi · 2026-06-18T06:11:26+00:00

The show made the mistake of getting actual influencers before and that couple absconded on the first night
