What Happens if Justice League Bombs? Greetings and/or salutations, people! Welcome to io. 9's (occasionally weekly) mail column, where I solve the mysteries of the world of nerd- dom to you, both fictional and otherwise. This week: What was Elektra’s deal in The Defenders? Is an evil BB- 8 droid a good thing or a bad thing? And, most importantly, who’s to blame for Game of Thrones season seven?

Greetings and/or salutations, people! Welcome to io9's (occasionally weekly) mail column, where I solve the mysteries of the world of nerd-dom to you, both fictional.

And don’t forget to send your questions to postman@io. Untie the League Lys D.: What happens if Justice League suck as bad as Batman v Superman does? Do the other DC movies get scrapped? Do they try another new DC [movie continuity], or do they have to wait a while so people don’t get confused? How long would it take for the taste of JL to wash out of people’s mouths? Let’s take a step back and remember that “bomb” is a relative term here. For all its faults, Batman v Superman made a ton of money—$8.

The problem is that WB knows it could have made a lot more if it had been better, and fans had actually liked it. Then the studio miraculously got Wonder Woman right, so it knows that it has the power to make a true, Marvel Studios- level superhero blockbuster, even if it has no real idea how it managed it. Since these movies still make money either way (for now), there’s no impetus for Warner Bros. To wonder if WB will reset the DC Extended Universe is to wonder if it actually has a cinematic universe in the first place. Aquaman is much too close to being finished for the WB to back out of now, and Wonder Woman 2 is as a safe a bet as there could be. But what does it actually have in the works that’s even close to definitely getting made?

Lobo, announced in 2. A Joker and Harley Quinn movie. A Nightwing movie. That insane “gritty” Elseworlds Joker origin movie from Martin Scorsese. Theoretically Black Adam, a Deadshot solo movie, and Suicide Squad 2.

And there’s always Man of Steel 2 and Justice League 2. All these movies were either announced so long ago that we have no reason to believe they’ll actually get made in the next five years, or are so new that there’s little chance they’ll survive until gestation. Since 2. 01. 3, WB has made four DCEU films: Man of Steel, Suicide Squad, Batman v Superman, and Wonder Woman.

Do you really think all 1. Watch Riding The Bullet Putlocker. I’m guessing five, max, and it’ll take at least 1. Oh, and if somehow Justice League is a smash hit and everything gets greenlit? Well, then Ben Affleck is still obviously, adorably desperate to abandon this nonsense, and Flashpoint almost certainly will, by its very name, reset the DC movie- verse anyway. And then there’s WB’s astoundingly insane decision to maybe make DC superhero movies that aren’t in continuity with the rest of the films, for maximum audience confusion and absence of synergy. The bottom line is that WB is basically so terrified it’s going to screw these movies up again, that it’s waiting for Justice League and Aquaman to come out, and let the studio know if it’s on the right track or not. Until then (and, if we’re being honest, probably long after then) it’s going to keep throwing anything it can think of against the DC movie wall.

The occasional movie will somehow come out, and no one can be sure if it’ll be part of the cobbled- together Extended Universe or not. Not even Warner Bros. GRRM Warfare. About 8.

People, Give or Take: 1) Are Benioff and Weiss actually bad showrunners who have coasted on George R. R. Martin’s work? Why was the decision made to shorten seasons seven and eight when the show could have clearly benefitted from more time? Will season eight have the same problems? No. I know Weiss and Benioff have barely done anything else in Hollywood beyond Game of Thrones, which seems pretty incriminating. I also know that it feels like the two of them fully abandoned the books this season, and then calamity and problems immediately ensued.

But let’s remember that Weiss and Benioff have made six good to great seasons of Game of Thrones, and there’s a hell of a lot more to showrunning than just putting the books onscreen. More importantly, the two have been going off script from the books from the very beginning, from that wonderful, iconic conversation between Cersei and Robert Baratheon in season one right through that magnificent season six finale where Cersei finally achieved everything on her vision board.

They had run out of book material for various storylines starting back in season four, and yet we were good straight through six. Have poor choices been made this season? Absolutely, but that brings us to…2) .. I think is responsible for most of the season’s problems. More time would have allowed more characters more moments, more explanations for some of the bizarre things that happened (see below), and just more breathing room to give the various storylines more weight. It still wouldn’t have solved the godawful mess that was the Sansa- Arya storyline, but it likely did mean Weiss and Benioff needed to figure out a way to kill Littlefinger sooner rather than later, and the only way they could think of to kill him with some drama was by turning Arya into a crazy person.

As for who decided to shortened the seasons, I sincerely doubt Weiss and Benioff wanted to. Game of Thrones is their baby, and they knew they were in for a long haul, assuming the show didn’t get canceled.

I doubt they were bored right at the beginning of the series’ epic conclusion. Certainly HBO didn’t want shortened seasons; they’d be happy to run Game of Thrones until the heat death of the universe. That leaves the actors, and remember, seven years is a long time for an actor to play a single character, especially actors of the caliber of Lena Headey and Peter Dinklage. I bet anything Kit Harington and Emilia Clarke at minimum are dying to be done with it in order to move on to new projects. The actors all had to sign new contracts for season seven and eight, and for many of them, the show needed them more than vice versa. I imagine these two shortened seasons was all they could get out of (one or more of) the biggest stars, forcing them to try and stuff everything they hoped to do in 2.

Which resulted in problems like…Grey(Worm)’s Audacity. Wes: What the hell was the opening scene with the Unsullied and Dothraki waiting outside of some castle and how did we teleport from there to the first meeting ever of the major players? I have scoured the net trying to figure out what the scene was and no one has covered it.

Please help! Although it wasn’t spelled out, it’s actually pretty easy to put two and two together here. The big truce meeting was at the Dragonpit, right by King’s Landing. Obviously, Cersei was not going to remove her army and Euron’s fleet from the capital for these little talks, because that would have been dumb as hell, and Cersei is not dumb.

However, Daenerys would also not just come to King’s Landing, right smack in the middle of Cersei’s forces, without her own troops. So she had Grey Worm, the Unsullied, and the Dothraki surround the city, so if things went bad her forces were there to bail her out/kick Lannister ass. The better question is, how did the Unsullied get from being trapped in Casterly Rock with no food and surrounded by Lannister troops, to hanging outside King’s Landing looking totally fine?

You know, I pride myself on being able to figure out completely unsupported ways to fill the plot holes of just about anything, but I have no clue here.

Are Prehistoric Giants Waiting in a Stasis Chamber in Iran? A few days ago, a pair of You. Tube videos started making the fringe history rounds, alleging to depict the discovery of two incorruptible bodies in Iran in 2. Depending on which version of the videos you happened to encounter, you might see the bodies referred to as those of Gilgamesh and Enkidu, or those of the Anunnaki, specifically Enki. This is weird, but not for the usual reasons. We will dispense with the videos themselves first.

They show what seems to be tourists filming inside a museum or exhibit of some kind. We see what at first glance appears to be two dummies wearing reproduction gold artifacts inside modern boxes set up to show how warriors or kings were once buried.

The videos, in turn, go back to at least 2. Russian websites began writing about them and claimed one belonged to the magician Jaromir. The Russian website shows what seems to be a living man wearing a fake beard taking the place of one of the dummies in a couple of still photographs. Update: As David Bradbury notes in the comments below, this crude hoax was perpetuated in 2. But that’s not what makes the videos interesting. Martin Mikuaš, who posted heavily edited versions of the videos with musical accompaniment this week attributed the videos to Russian media, where longer versions can be found.

But when running images of them through Google Images, we quickly discover that the videos also appeared several months earlier on David Wilcock’s Gaiam- TV subscription- only streaming show. Disclosure: Gaiam- TV, an offshoot of the Gaiam yoga empire, offered me $2.

I refrain from any skepticism; I declined.) Gaiam- TV is now Gaia TV. Anyway, Wilcock shares the Cosmic Disclosure program with Corey Goode, a UFO conspiracy theorist and alleged precognitive who says that he learned all of the mysteries of the ancient earth while participating in a “secret space program.” The episode in question, S0. E0. 6 “Sleeping Giants,” must have aired sometime this summer, but Gaia doesn’t give specific dates for the episodes of its shows. On the program, Goode claimed that he learned from “smart glass pads” in the “secret space program” that ancient giants used stasis chambers to preserve themselves within Native American burial mounds and other ancient constructions. Oh, and of course these giants were red- haired super- white Caucasians: “very large giant humans with reddish beards. And their skin, because of the pale white, they look kind of gaunt.” But according to Goode, the giants were merely reusing alien technology; they were not the inventors of the stasis chambers.

He adds that Abraham Lincoln had viewed one of these stasis chambers and referred to it when he mentioned in a scribbled note to a lecture that a “species of extinct giants” were buried in the mounds, a reference to the then- common belief that mounds were the work of the Nephilim. Goode describes the two “stasis beings” from the videos as being one who is dead (despite appearing to be a statue) and one who is in the process of coming back to life. Wilcock asks Goode about the writing on their pectoral ornaments, and he replies: “Yeah, there seems to be going back into the distant past, a steady progression from a root tongue or a root language that was kind of a proto- ancient Sumerian language that has popped in a very few places in modern archeology.” (Eloquence is not his strong suit.)It is perhaps noteworthy that Wilcock quickly recognizes that the mix- and- match props surrounding the “Sumerian” giant aren’t Sumerian: “So one of the things that struck me about this was the Egyptian, clearly Egyptian female head on that golden plate that’s in there. And then, this very strange little statue, of this guy that has two snakes coming up from the sides, almost like something out of Hinduism.” But instead of taking this as evidence that the video isn’t a genuine Ice Age tomb, Wilcock and Goode quickly agree that the Aryan super- giants had artifacts from “crossover civilizations”—despite, by their own admission, having been buried 8,0. It’s perhaps interesting that while Goode blathers on about “stasis chambers” in pyramids, he can’t offer even a modicum of evidence for it. It’s sad that today you don’t even have to pretend to do research to make ridiculous claims. When the “stasis chamber” claims were first proposed in the 1.

Alan Landsburg at least managed to cite specific myths and artifacts to support (however spuriously) the claim. You’d think that someone supposedly as “educated” about ancient mysteries as David Wilcock might have been able to relate the “stasis beings” in their sarcophagi to the strange beings Al- Maqrizi reported that the Arabs had found on glowing beds within the Great Pyramid: “They entered the central chamber in which were three transparent and luminous stone beds and on these three beds lay three bodies covered with three robes.

Near the head of each was a book in unknown characters” (Al Khitat 1. Or, if you’re really into beards, the European legends of the Sleeping King might be a good place to start. I mean, seriously: at least try to come up with something. The clues that Wilcock himself recognized—the multicultural props, the Russian titles on the video, etc.—all point toward a vastly different conclusion that Wilcock wants, but he wouldn’t make much money telling his audience what they don’t want to hear. That probably explains why neither Wilcock nor Goode expressed the least curiosity about the origins of the video. They had all Russian titles on them, but they’re obviously not from Russia,” Wilcock said. It’s Middle Eastern, most likely.

Turkey and somewhere, maybe Egypt.” Surely, if you thought you had proof of giants in Pleistocene stasis chambers you might be just a smidge more curious about where the video came from. Oh, and maybe you’d like to note that the objects around the body, including a newspaper and (in photographs) the cameraman’s finger, show that this was no giant.
