I never thought about the narrative shortcomings of Justice League. Now that you mention it, it’s kind of funny how the entire “team up” is just to resurrect Superman. Now, I will say that Zack Snyder’s original plans for the early DCEU was a five film Superman arc, but Joss Whedon and the studio disagreed. It’s all a fiasco.

All that said, I do agree with you. Marvel’s films truly live up to the title “Universe”. It feels like a real world. Justice League was horribly rushed (though it did manage to be entertaining enough). Here’s hoping Flashpoint can fix it all.

I still think Castle in the Sky is Ghibli’s masterpiece. It takes all five of your excellent points and throws them into one gorgeous, emotional journey of friendship and discover. It also manages to have some of the most incredibly animated action I’ve had the pleasure of seeing. It’s the one Ghibli film I continue to return to.

I do need to continue expanding my knowledge of their library though. I haven’t gotten around to films like “Up on Poppy Hill” or even “Totoro” (shocking I know). I’m just not quite sure where to start.

Honestly, I want the next game to be a complete 180 from Breath of the Wild. It was a fantastic game, but I feel like Nintendo should let it be its own thing. Leave it as the masterpiece it is, and make a new, different one. Maybe have an extremely small, condensed world with a heavy focus on dungeons. Maybe have dungeons be three-hour epics with multiple bosses and checkpoints. Whatever they do, I’d love it to be different. I doubt it will happen, due to Breath of the Wild’s success, but I can dream.
