The Question and The Micronauts

 

I watched the first part of the 3-part animated Crisis on Infinite Earths last night and I enjoyed how The Question was used.  He was the one hero being skeptical and demanding answers from the Monitor when dozens of them were summoned for the crisis control meeting.  I know James Gunn is a fan of the character as well, so I look forward to hearing about a live action appearance in the DCU's future. 

Worf Vs. Aliens

 

One minor gripe I had with Star Trek: The Next Generation was that there were not enough scenes showing Worf being a badass.  I know he was there to show how the Federation had made peace with one of their greatest enemies, but he could have still tapped into his Klingon savage side a bit more for my tastes.  Ongoing storylines like giving him a son or an ill-conceived romance with Deanna Troy only served to soften him up further.  I see that he is returning with most of the original Bridge Crew for the new season of Picard - but in the trailer for that he announces that he is now a pacifist.  Let's hope he rethinks that stance by the end of the season.

The Crimson Avenger and Doctor Strange

 

After re-watching Spider-Man: No Way Home, Doctor Strange's irresponsible behavior in altering reality just to make Peter Parker's life easier stood out even more.  He really should have worked out the spell beforehand if he really felt it was necessary.  Better yet, do what How It Should Have Ended suggested and have him simply just wipe away the memory of Mysterio's accusations.  As Sorcerer Supreme, Wong wasn't much better - "Just leave me out of it!"  What?  Anyway, I have a new theory - one or both of these guys is actually a Skrull!  There have to be some big reveals or Secret Invasion, and Wong and Strange acting out of character makes them top suspects in my book.

Metal Men Vs. Godzilla

It has recently been announced that the Godzilla Vs. Kong movie has been delayed by several  months.  That's OK with me, I'd rather the time betaken to get the film just right. Godzilla: King of All Monsters corrected the main flaw from the first film in the series - not enough monster battles - but still had humans that were hard to care about and some very silly plotting.  If they can get the story up to the same quality as the special effects, they'll really have something special and go out in a high note.

Detective Chimp on the Planet of the Apes

I enjoyed War for the Planet of the Apes and felt it completed the new trilogy well.  I do find it a bit too convenient that the same disease that destroys humanity and also grants apes higher intellect, but that's something you just have to go with.  Techinically, the movie looked great, the motion capture was very well done for the most part.  I look forward to seeing what director Matt Reeves does with Batman.

The X-Files investigate Godzilla

The X-Files is the latest series rumored for a revival.   David Duchovny had expressed an interest in returning with Gillian Anderson and creator Chris Carter for a limited return engagement of the hit show.  I was a big fan when the series originally aired, and even though I wasn't crazy about the movies that followed, I think this could be very cool.  Let's hope they finally find some definitive answers to the many plot threads still dangling.

Aquaman and Godzilla

The latest casting rumor for the Justice League movie is Josh Holloway as Aquaman.  I loved him as Sawyer in  Lost, and always thought that he would make a good Hawkeye, but I could see him as the sea king as well.  There may be some scheduling conflicts with his new TV series, but with DC's movie plans being postponed almost a year, maybe that won't be an issue anymore.

Justice League of America Vs. Godzilla

The trailer for the new Godzilla movie has been released, and it looks very cool.  They still don't show a lot of the monster, but from the glimpses we see, it looks like the filmmakers have stuck closely to the classic design.  The special effects look to be top notch and with actors like Bryan Cranston and Elizabeth Olsen involved, I am confident the performances will be as well.  It  seems that we are finally going to have a film that makes up for the unfortunate Matthew Broderick-led Godzilla fiasco.
