It is a fanboy franchise that has intentionally alienated the fanboys

I think it is dead, and permanently so

I don't know if any level of pandering can return it to what it was, one of the 3 revered Grails of nerd-dom

the other 2 (Star Trek and Dr. Who) were likewise destroyed

Dems have to believe that ICE Agents are all demons and pure evil

MAGA has to believe ICE are all infallibly good perfect angels

The reality is they are capable of fricking up.

Because they are human.

One bad ICE shoot nationwide in a year of escalating confrontational behaviors by activists is still bad. . .but not especially so.

Minnesota has other reasons to make this into a bigger deal, to distract from the fraud they rely on for campaign funding.

Alfred is the penultimate ride or die butler

So Alfred

1,000X Alfred

Coleman calls the ambulance when you get shot

Hobson laughs at you when you get shot, as he updates his resume

Alfred jumps in front of the gun to take the bullet for you

Pretty good AI

All told, impressive

I view AI films in the same manner as animated films.

Iirc, there was a poll of AI data scientists and engineers. 70% believed it was 10-30 years out

2% believed it would happen within 5 years

8% believed more than 30 years

20% believed it will never happen

I am pretty sure those numbers are right. Now polling doesn't prove anything, but it does show what the people who would know believe
