As usual, Vin completely misunderstands the appeal of the series. Unless these shows have insane budgets to match the chaos of the films, we certainly aren't going to stick around for the "character" drama. Ok, maybe Momoa's Dante...

From a writing stand point, I don't understand the point here. They've done Stewie centric episodes before, what exactly can the writers explore or mine within the character that they can't do on Family Guy (or already have)?

Fans Defend Spielberg Against Nolan and Villeneuve Comparisons for 2026 Films
Last updated 1 hour ago
Cyril (@CyrilH44) dismissed Steven Spielberg's upcoming Disclosure Day as unable to compete with prime Christopher Nolan or Denis Villeneuve, sparking defenses highlighting Spielberg's late-career hits like The Fabelmans and West Side Story. Fans praised his technical mastery and enduring influence at age 79, with Disclosure Day—a UFO thriller starring Emily Blunt and Josh O'Connor-set for June 12, followed by Nolan's IMAX Odyssey on July 17 and Villeneuve's Dune:
Part Three on December 18. While some backed Nolan or Villeneuve and others tired of ranking directors like athletes, the exchange underscores excitement for this stacked cinephile year.
