Chloe has largely opted out, via drink and drugs. But Brandon still craves daddyâs approval and is still at home, learning the super-ropes and hoping to one day do the paterfamilias proud as The Paragon. Sheldon, ground down by 90 years of fighting the bad guys only to find the world stubbornly refusing to improve, remains unconvinced. His brother and fellow superhero Walter (Ben Daniels) urges Shel to lighten up and start adapting to the modern world by going after its true evildoers â corrupt corporations and politicians.
But who, asks Shel, would intervene if they started going down that road? What would happen to free will? This may be the weakest argument ever put for superheroes not doing whatever is necessary to save the world. Fortunately, distraction arrives in a call for both generations to converge on old-style superbadthing Blackstar (Tyler Mane), who has escaped from his supersecurity prison and must be apprehended.

There is a lot riding on
Jupiter’s Legacy. According to Millar, one of the big delays in getting
Jupiter’s Legacy off the ground was waiting for the right showrunner. Netflix eventually settled on Steven S. DeKnight, who oversaw most of the first season of
Jupiter’s Legacy midway through the production of the first season, citing “creative differences.”
Ranking All 8 ROB ZOMBIE Movies Worst to Best
Ranking All Eight of Writer-Director Rob Zombie s Movies Worst to Best from HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES all the way to THREE FROM HELL.
How about we rank Rob Zombie’s movies? Sounds like fun, right? This isn’t a personal list. In fact, I wildly disagree with the results. But here they are all the same. This is as definitive as I could do. It’s based on each films: Rotten Tomatoes Critics Score, Rotten Tomatoes: Audience Score, Metacritic Score, IMDb Ranking, Google Audience Score. It all adds up to “points” which you’ll see next to each title. This is not a horror fan’s ranking of the movies. This is the general public as best as I could calculate.

A Live-Action Spy Series Is On the Way: We re hard at work on a six-episode live-action spy series right now, my first since Kingsman, but a very different kind of property. The writer is someone I ve been a massive fan of for two decades, and he was the only person I approached. This has the potential to be one of the biggest franchises I ve ever created. I m so excited and I hope you will be too!
