Reply to comment by jogoso2014 in TV shows should bring back the ‘previously on’ format by [deleted]
...the recap of previous episodes spoils the episode?
You people won't be happy until you stop watching tv to avoid the barest pretense of ever learning something that might happen on part of the tv show you haven't seen yet. "This story is using foreshadowing... spoilers!"

Disney provides linear tv channels. Expensive ones. Now they also run a linear tv service.

Do we are just being disingenuous now, ok.

Pick at what you want, you are still wrong. You going to tell me the Accident Man sequel and Corrective Measures aren't B movies, too?
Never mind that's just superhero movies.

You not looking for or watching them doesn't mean people aren't making them. Still.

Yes they are.
Samaritan and Secret Headquarters came out this year. Thunder Force last year. B superhero B movies. Are you confusing B movies and indie films? If so, whatever the hell this is came out this year.
And those are just the clear cut "definitely superhero" films. When you stretch the genre to "people with superpowers", you get "Everything Everywhere All at Once". This year.

There are factually plenty of superhero style B movies. You just don't look for them or see them.

>Eh I don't think you're giving westerns enough credit on how broad the genre was stretched,
Yes they are. You can have a comedy western or a drama western. That's about it back in the 50s and 60s. You wern't getting a genre mixed sci fi western for multiple reasons. A comic book movie can be a comedy or a drama, or it can be western. Or it can be a sci fi western.
Comic book movies are beyond more flexible than Westerns because Westerns are limited to a specific style where comic book movies limitation is "has comic book characters (real or imagined)"

Ok, which smart TV implementation does your Hisense use
I'm betting it's Roku. Any Hisense you can walk out of a Walmart with is using Roku for its implementation.

Ahahaha. Most of those TVs are in licensed deals with Roku, dude. Sure, Samsung and LG have their legacy platforms they've had for as long as Roku has existed, but they aren't really maintained for more than a couple years on any single tv nor are they definitely going to get new apps for any new streaming services, even the major ones.

I only replaced my Roku 3 because my 1st gen Roku Ultra I was using for my main tv had wifi issues and so I got a new Roku Ultra and replaced my Roku 3 with the old Ultra. Pretty sure the Roku 3 replaced a Roku stick that went bad at someone's house, so still in use

Quelle surprise. This was the safe bet instead of HBOMax taking it in house after both Zaslav took over and this was shunted to the CW - where stuff is shared with CBS paramount, from DCUniverse instead of being brought directly to HBOMax in the first place

Except the toys are just from the show? There's nothing to be inspired from from the toys, there's no standalone Power Ranger toy content.
