Whirlybird, (edited ) in Netflix’s ‘Daredevil’ Showrunner Steven DeKnight Calls MCU’s ‘Born Again’ Reboot “An Old Disney Scam”

It is a complete reboot though isn’t it? The original show on Netflix isn’t part of the canon of this one? If so then I don’t really get their complaint.

burgersc12,

I thought this wws essentially the next season

Whirlybird,

From everything I’ve read, all people associated with it are calling it a reboot and not a continuation of the previous show.

qdJzXuisAndVQb2,

A tonne of the same cast are returning. Bernthal is still the Punisher, D’Onofrio is still Kingpin… no, this is a calculated decision to pay the workers less.

Whirlybird,

Same actors != not a reboot. Iirc they’re going to have gal gadot as Wonder Woman again but are rebooting her character so the 2 previous movies are not canon, didn’t happen.

If they’re making a new series that has literally nothing to do with the previous one, zero connection to anything that happened in it, how is it not a reboot? Should they use different actors just to justify it being a reboot?

qdJzXuisAndVQb2,

I am fully in agreement with you, although I can see why you and others didn’t take that from my initial comment. The calculated decision I referred to was Disney’s cynical claim that this is a reboot. They’re shafting workers, we can all see it.

Even if they wipe the continuity, which is still very unclear, is it really fair to call it a “complete reboot” when they’re using the same cast for the most prominent roles?

This is the official Lemmy documentation for text.

I don’t think indented sub-items are possible in a list, but there may be some wizardry I’m unaware of.

Tables are possible, but can be confusing. You might find this helpful.

what is the “URL” field at the top of this post for?

That’s if you want to share a link to a news article or video or something, rather than create a discussion post. Your post will automatically provide a link to that URL, and will also try to generate an appropriate title that you can use if you want (generally by grabbing the title of the page you’re linking to).

How do I make “minor separations”, where you have multiple paragraphs, then a paragraph with more white-space between it, but not like a header or a line. It’s related enough that I want it connect, but separate enough that I want some separation

I’m not sure if it’s exactly what you have in mind, but I find a triple dash to be a good minor separator.

How can I make Paragraphs have indents? (I know they aren’t needed grammatically anymore, but in some cases, a paragraph just doesn’t seem “right” without an indent…

I don’t actually know if this is possible…

CTH2004,

Shame… I hope there turns out to be some wizardry someone knows about!

Thanks!

Okay. For the “auto-title”, let me guess, it generates a title, unless you put something in the title part of the post?

Also, what happens if you fill out the text, and put a URL at the top?

I’m not sure if it’s exactly what you have in mind, but I find a triple dash to be a good minor separator.

That could work. And, what I mean is this:


<span style="color:#323232;">paragraph
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">paragraph
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">"paragraph" with no text
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">paragraph.
</span>

Basically, the “minor separator” is a paragraph that has nothing in it, but still takes up space. Like the space of 2 enters, not one.

I don’t actually know if this is possible…

Fair enough. I’ll continue what I’m doing, which is just doing like 10 “spaces” ( Test)

Your post will basically include the link, along with a text box for you to add whatever context or commentary you wish.

CTH2004,

thanks (:

It sounds like you like outer-space… I also like sci fi that’s earthbound. 12 Monkeys, Donnie Darko - these are psychologically oriented.

startrekexplained,

Donnie Darko was surprisingly bad

RoundSparrow,

in what way? the music lyrics didn’t connect?

startrekexplained,

It was too weird

deathbird, in Whats your favorite Star Trek like video games?

I mean I was into the old test-based Trek game for a while.

Mass Effect is pretty top tier for me too. I know you said Trek-like but Star Trek Bridge Crew is a ton of fun. Or at least it was. Number of players has ramped down significantly after Ubisoft dropped support.

I told Pierce a thousand times, I never wanted Levar to host in person! I just wanted a picture. You can’t disappoint a picture!

HELL YES, he was so good as the jeopardy host I had hoped he was the new full time host, this is exciting

Him not getting the jeopardy hosting was a travesty

Dagwood222, in Favorite sci fi film (thats not Star Trek)?

Some obscure ones.

‘Altered States.’ Scientist tries mixing LSD and sensory deprivation. Not a great mix.

‘Battle Beyond the Stars’ Gloriously cheesy re-make of ‘The Magnificent Seven.’ Which was a remake of ‘The Seven Samurai.’

‘Rollerball’ James Caan original, not the remake.

Deepus, in Favorite sci fi film (thats not Star Trek)?

I wouldn’t say its my favourite but Mute is up there for me. Does Hackers count as a sci fi film? If so, that!

Aggravationstation, in Favorite sci fi film (thats not Star Trek)?

Toss up between Robocop (1987) or Hardware (1990)

ShranTheWaterPoloFan, in Favorite sci fi film (thats not Star Trek)?

Coherence - a great small film.

Gattaca - fun sci-fi film that feels ignored

Moon - fantastic performance from Sam Rockwell

Primer - confusing but the best time travel movie ever

Dark City - I love this movie. It has problems, but it’s such a cool ride

Existenz - very matrix like but unique and surprisingly good

The institute - not sci-fi per say but a really cool documentary
