Please avoid spoilers!

Goes without saying, I should hope (not addressing you, Jeff)

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.

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.

when I was a kid and into high school, college and several years beyond that.

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.

9. My vision for bringing the Fantastic Four to the MCU

1. Adventures in the 1960s using the same origin story as the original (including the Doctor Doom/Reed Richards lab accident). 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.

of course, I won't be satisfied until there is a 24 hour a day GOT channel that just follows them throughout their lives. And/or deaths.

11. the episodes are going to be much longer

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.

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?
