It also mirrors The Meta-Crisis Doctor settling down with Rose. Even though he loved her, he could never take that leap. He could never settle down and just live, not even if Rose asked. But Donna and 15, basically, staged an intervention, making The Doctor realize he was going to snap / and or die if he didn't take serious time to breathe.

Re-posting from my Twitter: There have been so many "The Doctor's never slowed down, eh?" tweets with images of 11 and The Ponds, 11 on Trenzalore, and 12 and River. And it feels like people are willfully missing the point to score points. In those cases, and others, The Doctor wasn't ready to "heal thyself." It took an intervention from his best friend and himself to make The Doctor realize self-care is paramount in life, the universe, and everything. The arc of 14 is one of looking inward, realizing it's not selfish to put your mental health first, letting pain go, and rebuilding.

Been seeing a lot of "They didn't mention Martha" and "They didn't mention Yaz" rage tweets. They only mentioned the people who died (Amy, Clara, Bill, Adric, River, Sarah Jane) or whom The Doctor can never meet again (Rose). Yes it would have been nice to hear certain names, but that wasn't the point. Naming living companions muddies the waters for fan service.

Me: Why do people crush on The Doctor? Also Me: I will raze planets just to be near Ncuti Gatwa's smile.

Interesting. I could go along with that. And yes, that's it.

I made a noise so loud Shana called from the other room to make sure I was okay.

That was a clever bit.

X-Men Blue: Origins did the unthinkable. After 42 years, Marvel...

Sigourney Weaver - Aliens, Gorillas in the Mist, Working Girl. The reason I say Aliens is because you can track how far Ripley changes between the start of Alien and the ending of Aliens.

Men in Black or Independence Day, and I'd lean towards MIB as it's tighter and focuses on Smith. Then I'd go with Ali and either The Pursuit of Happyness or King Richard.

Ohhh!

My iPhone is so old, I don't have enough storage to download it.

I might have to give it a try. It looks interesting.

Is it a card-based mobile game?

I went in with no anticipation but came out the other side somewhat excited.

Oh man, I cannot wait -- and I mean CANNOT --until you get to the Thor issue.

How about a multipart Steven Spielberg FF?

I've left off Twilight Zone: The Movie because he only directed a segment, and Poltergeist because his involvement is somewhat controversial and as clear as mud.

They pretty much have to.

Action Comics #385-387 - Superman is shunted way into the future and kinda loses his mind 'cause he can't return home. And the resolution is bleak if you think about it. And then some crazy adventure where Superman lands on a duplicate Earth. Alan Scott: Green Lantern #1 - I'll give it another before I decide if I'm monthly or trades. Avengers Inc. #1 - Not for me. Batman and Robin #1-2 (2023) - Great art and it's awesome seeing Bruce be a dad to Damian, but something feels a little off. I'll stick with it, though probably in trades. The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #1-4 (2021) - While I might not finish this 12-issue run, nor pick up the second volume, this was fun and I hope it's a gateway for lots of new readers. Batman and The Outsiders #1-2 (1983) - Oh I am sticking with this. Batman / Superman: World's Finest #19-20 - I need something new here. It was clicking but now I feel a little disconnected. Birds of Prey #1-2 (2023) - I'll jump to the trades here, but this is a hell of a lot of kick-ass fun. Black Lightning #3-11 (1977) - It's a shame this didn't get more traction at the time, because it's trying new things and could have generated readers. The Brave and the Bold #25 (1955) - The very first Suicide Squad story and holy shit this is awesome! Detective Comics #269-279 - Near the end of this group, the Martian Manhunter strip changes. J'onn's powers are decreased, a supporting cast appears (or begins to), and the world knows J'onn exists. It's also becoming a little sillier, but not at the cost of it being a crime comic -- it's just one featuring a Martian police officer. The Flash #1 (2023) - DC has no damn clue what to do with Wally. Green Lantern: War Journal #1-2 - Lots of heart, and John is not to be fucked with. Hellblazer #6-12 - Great but bleak stuff. Be in the right mindset for these stories. Justice League vs Godzilla vs Kong #1 - I'm here for the JLA v monsters. Nightwing #106 (2016) - Kinda getting burnt out here. Ninjak #0 (2017) and Ninja-K #1-2 - I think I'll stick around. Planetary #1-27, Planetary / The Authority: Ruling the World, Planetary / Batman: Night on Earth, Planetary / JLA: Terra Occulta This series, as beautiful as it is, did not hold up as well as I had expected and, frankly, hoped. It seems it's going in one direction, pivots, and pivots again. It relies too heavily on the concept to the detriment of characterization. Characters grow, sure, but it's too interested in being cool and snarky at time than allowing them to feel like people. Sheriff of Babylon #1 - Too cynical for me. But that's kinda the point, I suspect. Showcase #22 - The very first Hal Jordan story and it's so much better than I remember. Transformers #1 (2023) - I was surprisingly into this. Wonder Woman #770-772 - Beautiful but taking way too long to get the point. Total: 706

Good Will Hunting, The Bourne Identity, and Downsizing.

I'm down. Watch, it'll turn out that's the one I've seen clips from.

They'll have to find a way for the Meta-Crisis Doctor to be there too.

I don't think I've ever actually seen the Arnold Conan. Parts, sure. But never the whole thing.
