It's a neat show. The movie is the only Blu-ray I own and I have no way to play it but it's still neat.

I just started watching it last week. Seems good. Watching a pre-HD show is a bit jarring these days.

I recently saw the movie. It was good, but some parts felt like they were skipping from one plot point to the next, especially the parts with Dr. Mrs., and catching up with the thread let me know what was planned. The gravity scene was brutal, the pants golem vs Blaculas was hilarious, and learning the true origins of our characters was incredible.

This is the result of having a (correct me) season of scripts forced into a movie.

On John Hodgman's show, they mention IIRC that they had about 3 completed scripts and 3 half-completed scripts for season 8 when they got the axe. And all of that had to be condensed into the movie along with an actual conclusion. The one flashback scene with Jonas fighting Force Majeure was supposed to be one of the major overarching stories of the whole season. Along with Hank's roadtrip and Sheila + Deborah's whole thing.

I am also sad we didn't get to see Doc's stories. He had the idea that Blind Rage survived the train but lost his legs. This would open the door to a whole world of paraplegic villains and he had a couple episodes in mind playing on his own experiences. He really wanted to have some episodes that spoke to the disabled community. I also I really like the idea that all the other Hanks were the souls of various dead Hanks haunting him.

I feel like this totally tracks based on how their episodes tend to play out. IIRC Jackson is more about worldbuilding and storytelling, and Doc is more about character depth and indulging in fun and weird side stories. Not that they don't both do both well. But I strongly suspect that Doc was set to write the lone scientists in remote warehouse episode.

Part of it was that they just didn't have time to include his. It wasn't deliberate, but they had under four episodes worth of time to tell the season 8 story plus a little bit of finale to the series as a whole. We got more reveals in this movie because they wrote it to be a true ending even more so than seasons where renewal was uncertain. At least one of doc's episodes, like I said, was going to be paraplegic villain themed. There just wasn't room in the movie to tell that story as well. They ran over something like 8 minutes past their original allotted time.

I will forever be pissed we didn't get the planned Col Gentleman/John Wick episode. Him going postal on the Guild after his dog dies of old age is like, the perfect premise for a VB episode and you know they would have nailed all the ridiculous assassin lore from those movies.

As painful as it is hearing about these things and knowing we missed out, it’s troubling that 2 full years after season 7 ended they weren’t even halfway done writing the follow-up season (or I guess a little over half done if it was 8 eps instead of 10). Previously we hadn’t gone much longer than 2 years without at least a special. It seems they just started to gradually slow down over the years and it makes me think that this was eventually going to slowly burn out after too much longer

Well, it wasn't quite two years. It was 23 months from the end of Season 7 to the cancellation announcement. Also, writing for the whole season doesn't necessarily have to be complete before production starts. That's the telling bit. The sale of Warner Brothers put everything on hold and it's likely had that not happened, production would have already started on the first half of the season and possibly would have completed episodes to start airing. We also have no idea if they stopped working on scripts while the sale was in progress due to uncertainty. Due to the circumstances surrounding everything, it's really hard to judge the timeline.

You have to also remember in that period of time Doc lost the ability to use his legs and had to relearn to walk.

Apparently McDonald's is doing their "adult Happy Meal" thing again. Normally that would have nothing to do with VB, except that one of the toys you can get is named "BRRRICK." He's unfortunately not a frog.

QuarkJets posted:So I guess it's the chuddy people who haven't seen the show at all, then? Cause yeah he is basically a Village Person Shore Leave is based directly on Shipwreck from G.I. Joe, who was inspired by Jack Nicholson in The Last Detail. But a handful of G.I. Joe characters looked a hell of a lot like the Village People if you put them together: Shipwreck (sailor with beard) Wild Bill (cowboy with mustache) Spirit (stereotypical Native American) Tollbooth (construction worker) Gung Ho ("leatherman" with handlebar mustache, cap, and vest with no shirt, except he wore turquoise camo instead of black) And that's where Jackson and Doc got their O.S.I. = G.I. Joe + Village People idea.
