Well, Cahill is the known quantity--it's hardly surprising he's not news.
Momoa, OTOH, that's breaking.
Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

That sounds...well, if it's legit, like a bad idea, and one that came from someone who didn't see the grim'n'gritty Batman movies, which also had laughs in them.
I can see them separating themselves tonally from the yuckfest that is Marvel, but that doesn't mean they need to go all nuBSG.
(I like how WW looks, BTW. I'd not seen it until now).

Rented Locke: underwhelmed. Not by Tom Hardy, but the script. It felt unfinished, and also that the Big Secret was so mundane. I got the characters motivation for the impetus of the plot, but with all of the allusions to the main characters background and motivation, and the metaphor of solid foundations, I felt that much was left out (but I guess if they'd continued, the metaphor would have ended up trite or irrelevant).
Also, not a big fan of characters who don't declare the secret they keep until the last second, which says to me that they never would have spilled the beans, and leaves me little room for sympathy. (not that this strictly applies here, as the secret could have been kept if not for the main characters own issues with said secret), which gives it more credence).
I like the foundations premise of it, though.

Oh! GotG question: does this mean Groot is unkillable? (I don't know if that's big enough to still need to be whitefonted per the header.)
Like, Wolverine and Groot. That's kind of awesome, if true. (That one was whitefonted because the comparison might give away the nature of the first whitefont.)

I don't think so, Steph. I mean, as long as they can save a cutting he can be regrown, but if he were, say, burnt to ashes, he would be gone.
But then again, Wolverine is about to die in the comics. So.

1. I did think about the bonfire thing, because...yeah. That makes sense.
2. Seriously, Wolverine is about to die? What's THAT about?
t edit So Lobo stands alone. The main man. (Please don't tell me Lobo can die now, too.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Juliebird, I liked Locke for Hardy's performance and the script, which did a nice job with the personal/professional life metaphor. I guess I liked how simple it was in that it did one thing and it did it well. Strangely compelling. I found it visually boring, though.
