Believe it or not, he did pull the “villain pretending to be a hero” bit in his first appearance, but didn’t do giant monsters or anything like that. Which, if that’s what’s going on here, that’s a nice nod to his initial story.

SYNDROME WAS A RIP-OFF OF MYSTERIO.

Counterpoint: Serious Actor Cate Blanchett hamming it up in Thor: Ragnarok; Daniel Bruhl bringing gravitas to Civil War; Jeff Bridges chewing scenery in Iron Man; Robert Redford in Winter Soldier; ultra serious Michael B. Jordan (with campy sidekick Andy Sedaris) in Black Panther.  Gyllenhaal is another great actor…

It’s because of the metric system. They wouldn’t know what a dickwad is.

Then that gap in knowledge is on you.

I can’t stand that no one realizes Syndrome’s schtick was inspired by Mysterio. I thought every comic nerd worth his salt knew that.

Much of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom was spent teasing a shocking reveal about Maisie, the granddaughter of John Hammond’s totally-secret-until-now former business partner. It’s hinted that she might actually be part-raptor, based on her movements and behavior.

There’ll be peace when they are done.

Fuck off with this. Seriously, fuck off with it. This is bad news and a terrible look for democrats, but republicans are off the fucking rails and sympathizing with literal Nazis. Do yourself a favor and read a book, your South Park level politics are pathetic.

If you are going to include other fast-talking, brilliant female reporters, you shouldn’t neglect Rosalind Russell in His Girl Friday.  Good grief, she and Cary Grant even look like Lois and Clark.

I’d respect that commenter more if they had the balls to call people racist (even though they’d still be blatantly wrong). But they don’t. They just post stupid, passive-aggressive comments because that’s what cowards who have nothing to back up their narrative do.

If a movie was considered good enough to be nominated for Best Picture, how are none of the pieces that helped put it together considered good enough too?

actually most people liked Black Panther. I haven’t seen a single comment here saying they disliked it or “really hate” it.

Getting Kevin Smith to cry at something is like.....is like.....is like getting someone to do something very easily.

...We’ve been spoiled by a film that did CGI pretty poorly and a movie that isn’t even out yet?

Good. Then you know how poorly you communicated.

Good article. I’ve never been a fan of the movie personally — ironically, like The Incredible Hulk coming off its predecessor, I think it course-corrected too far in the “just make this as loud as possible” direction — but as Ebert said in his review, there is admiration to be had on the technical level. It reminded…

Uh, Black Panther had terrible CG.

So the story here is “web site tries to block offensive content, but goes to far. They are prudes” as opposed to every story about facebook and Twitter which is “web site tries to block offensive content, but doesn’t go far enough. They clearly don’t care.” And this is coming from a website who’s answer to trolls…
