Superman: Good
Creature Commandos: Decent
Peacemaker S2: Decent
Supergirl: Bad
Lanterns: Great (Finale aside).
Still haven't seen Clayface.
The shakeup is no major loss for me, but I really don't want another damn reboot. Ideally, they'll move forward with the same characters while taking them in a different direction.

I Play Rocky: Nuts and bolts story told well. Bit cheesy, but it worked for me, and Anthony Ippolito is fantastic as a young Stallone.

Devastated at the news of Sir Patrick Stewart's passing. 86 is a fine innings, but I really didn't realise he was that old, probably because he just always seemed so young and full of life. His acting roles speak for themselves, but lest we forget...

I've never been a big Friday the 13th fan, so I was surprised by how much I enjoyed #CrystalLake. Linda Cardellini is fantastic as Pam Voorhees, and the show features some of the most jaw-droppingly gruesome kills you can imagine.
As a big fan of the games, I was able to have some fun with #StreetFighter, but it has a lot of problems. It nails some characters, makes a complete mockery of others, and the humor is below American Pie levels of juvenile (I lost count of the gay jokes).
The fight scenes are very well handled (which will be enough for some), but I wish the movie had taken itself just a *little* more seriously.
Ryu, Ken and Akuma are standouts. Chun-Li is unfortunately landed with the worst dialogue and a frankly bizarre subplot involving an obsessive colleague who touches himself during one of her fights (yes, really).
Bison is a creepy weirdo... and not in a good way. Blanka is mostly great but rubs his armpit and smells... you know what, I think the director may have some pretty messed up fetishes.
I've only seen the first episode of #VisionQuest (the screeners only came through a few hours ago), but it seems pretty damn good. Never really been the biggest Vision fan, but there are definite WandaVision vibes here, and I can tell James Spader is going to run away with it.
First concept art for the scrapped Green Lantern/Emerald Knights HBO series that was in the works before Lanterns...

So many people feel the need to be "ride or die" when it comes to movies/shows. You can like something while still admitting that not everything works. Some of the excuses I've seen on here for the crappy creative decisions in that Lanterns finale are laughable.

I was with #Lanterns right up to that finale, but it did not stick the landing. Some nice moments, but the big "who killed Hal Jordan" reveal was asinine. I don't need action and spectacle, I do need the central mystery to make a bit of damn sense.
Even so, I'm excited for Stewart's return in MOT.
