Fanboys Anonymous

Welcome to another edition of WEEK IN GEEK here at Fanboys Anonymous—a rundown of some of the events, news and stories that went down over the past few days in the geek culture spectrum.


Here are some of the topics I felt like voicing my opinions about:

IG-88 in The Mandalorian

Neat. I still think the show and the franchise in general is in rough shape, but I'm really curious how the hell they can make IG-88 be a character that looks and talks and all. I thought if anything, Bossk would be their go-to returnee.

"Us" Trailer

This looks interesting. I'm not a big horror fan, but I liked Get Out, and I'm willing to give this a shot.

Jigsaw Isn't Jigsaw in Punisher Season 2

So why is Billy just going to be Billy again? Why are these shows and sometimes even movies so against the idea of giving people their nicknames? Would it be that hard for people to refer to him as "the jigsaw-faced killer" or something and let that spark people calling him Jigsaw even twice in the season?

Thanos is/isn't a Sociopath

The Netflix description of Avengers: Infinity War had Thanos as a sociopath and people complained, because their lives are so good that being triggered about this is something worth being upset about. Jeez, people. Yes, Thanos may not be a sociopath in the movie if you look at it from his perspective and so on and so forth, but there are more important things going on.

Black Mirror: Bandersnatch

We went through and watched as many variations of this as possible, because it was a lot of fun. I definitely recommend checking out when you can, and I want to talk more about it, but I don't want to spoil anything.
