(46,714 posts)As much as I have gotten to like Jaime Lannister, he does have to face Bran.
I had goosebumps when Arya saw her brother for the first time.
Lots of tension and conflict as we have to wait to see how Daenarys gets accepted -- or not.
And the Greyjoys. Finally, brother and sister are working together.

(17,863 posts)Using the body of a dead Super to hide is also pretty gruesome. The Incredibles is easily the best Fantastic Four movie ever made. The sequel is also great.

However, I've been disappointed they haven't been able to correctly capture the Fantastic Four in a movie yet, despite two tries with some pretty good casts, including Chris Evans before Captain America in the first two and Michael B Jordan in the third . I always liked the FF better than the Avengers, the Defenders or any other superhero groups (and the Justice League if you add in DC) when I was younger.
So, good point on The Incredibles.

Soft reboot on the origin story (not much time with the playing with their powers montage). A quick adventure that ends with the four trapped in the Neutral Zone. I know it has already been done twice with Captain America and Captain Marvel, but I would bring them back into the MCU in the current time period. The cliff hanger will be a threat from Doctor Doom who has been building his power and supernatural skill all the time the Fantastic Four were gone. He rules Latveria with an iron hand.
2. Reed lifeboats the Fantastic Four and some other of the interesting characters from an alternative universe where the Earth was destroyed by Galactus. Galactus follows them back.

(56,828 posts)episodes 1 and 2 are under an hour, at 54 and 58 minutes
episode 3 is 82 minutes
episode 4 is 78 minutes
and episodes 5 and 6 are 80 minutes each.
A regular 1 hour commercial TV drama is 42-43 minutes, I think, after you take out commercials. So, episodes 3-6 are almost like two 1 hour TV shows.

(56,828 posts)to be honest, since the show went beyond the books, it's felt a bit rushed to me - still some great moments and episodes - Hardhome, Battle of the Bastards, Spoils of War, etc - but, I think they've glossed over some aspects and less important storylines. And, I can't picture George RR Martin wiping out nearly all of Cersei's political opponents by blowing up the Sept of Baelor like they did on the show... but, maybe I'm wrong?
