This would explain why I somehow totally missed out on the incredible news that Amazon has ordered a pilot episode for a reboot of cult-classic live-action TV series The Tick! Created by …

Playing himself in a fictional situation, he showed us that he has zero problem with unpacking and poking fun at his own movie persona. And it seems that the 90’s action hero, …
