@amindonfire love it
@Victoriak
Madmartigan is probably one of Val Kilmer's best roles. Willow was magical, unfortunately, the series had no magic in it.
@amindonfire I enjoyed it but it would have been better with Kilmer
@Victoriak
I was disappointed in it. Maybe Kilmer would have improved my outlook on it.
@amindonfire my thoughts on the series is that Disney was trying to go for the teenage demo. So they gave it what I call the WB treatment or teenage drama and angst. Teenagers didn’t like it and older fans of the og didn’t like it. I just ignored the angst parts but it was kind of annoying.
@Victoriak
"The WB treatment" is pretty apt. Really, Disney didn't have to do a lot except deliver a solid story. A lot of the dialog was pretty bad too.
@amindonfire lol. I used to like WB a long time ago. Now its unwatchable
@Victoriak
I think it's the CW now(?), I don't really watch a lot of network stuff and really stopped watching WB/CW when Supernatural ended, but why do all their shows revolve around either a coffee shop of some kind or a diner?
@amindonfire I never noticed that but Yeah WTF?
@Victoriak
LOL. What does the Flash do when inthe middle of yet another crisis of another infinitive earth? Meet the Green Arrow for a cup of java.
What's young Clark Kent need to do to save Lana, again? Get a cup of coffee, of course.
At least Sam and Dean never took a pitstop for an espresso before dispatching demons.
@amindonfire 😆 OMG you are so right
@Victoriak
I'm sure if we had the time and the want we could find a lot more examples and then create silly stuff like the Pretty Little Liars latte or the GIlmore Girls Grande Frappe (I don't know if there was ever a coffee shop in that one, I never watched it).
@amindonfire next time I meet anyone from the cw I will bring that up
