Almost too many questions and topics of conversation to which I can respond here, but that is a good thing. Going to address several of them in short order.

-- Agelessness / immortality for my superpower, though I imagine my archenemy is going to be a Scotsman brandishing a Japanese sword given to him by an Egyptian ... with a Spanish name ... played by another Scotsman.

-- Having a robot double of myself makes my superpower twice as useful. I can get him to play all the games for which I do not have time, and he can help with the dusting. And I suppose I would use him for naughty business. Immortality breeds boredom, after all, and, if he is a robot version of me, then he is going to ask, anyway.

-- Jamie Foxx annoyed me in ASM2. I do not see him being a great Spawn.

-- I need more Waterdeep like I need a hole in the head. I enjoyed the Mordenkainen book, but the campaign-based expansions (e.g. Tomb of Annihilation, recently almost completed by one of my groups) have done very little for me.

-- Enjoyed Solo. Had a lot of fun watching it, in fact. Reminds me of the old Han Solo books that followed the original Star Wars (e.g. Han Solo At Star's End). A little disappointed that it is doing poorly (... by Star Wars standards), but it is what it is.

-- Rogue One is easily in my top three favorite Star Wars movies.

-- The Last Jedi was designed to be divisive. Lots I enjoyed about it, lots that just made me raise a brow, but they went into it trying to do what the audience did not expect, and, in that regard, it succeeded. Not one of my favorites, but not a car crash, either.

-- ... I thought Black Panther was great, but everybody in my family has the same thought about it: "We liked it a lot, but we definitely don't feel like the target audience."

All right, that catches things up for me, I think, but I will add that I have been actively rereading books from the Star Wars Expanded Universe. (My copies are old enough to not have "Legends" branded on them.) Enjoyable, but it feels a little strange, considering that the 'canon' universe is liberally taking things from "Legends" and repurposing them as needed (see: Solo).
