I'll second Incredible Hulk being pretty darn good, but I've always been a Hulkhead.

Agent Coulson/SHIELD was another, although I guess that's part and parcel of the same thing as Sam Jackson. Also the terrorist organization's logo was a reference to the Mandarin, but that's more of an easter egg than an outright piece of connective tissue. Also War Machine is in it and says "next time" when looking

The whole thing had a clusterfuck of a production, there's a Variety article detailing it, beginning with poor test screenings and turning into months of reshoots and mangled editing:

It's not even just an out, it's an excuse brought up anytime someone complains about a change. I have seen it used by fanboys constantly anytime someone criticizes yet another DUMB choice that Akiva Goldsman makes in the script. Fine, you successfully justified why things can be changed, but it doesn't mean the

Making a bunch of offensive jokes, generally seems to be the alternative.

Some of this stuff has lost all meaning, see above where someone I know was accused of "white knighting" for giving advice on how to fix a computer to a woman. Just bizarre. If "SJW" is shorthand for someone who annoys you with buzzwords and social justice concepts, "Anti-SJWs" have rapidly become far more annoying

Anti-SJWs are indeed the new SJWs, constantly using buzzwords and attacking people for any perceived engagement in SJW behavior such as "virtue signalling". In attempting to deride such behavior they've reached the point where they have become way more annoying than any so-called "SJWs" actually were or are. They

"Not to be racist but…I love all races equally."

Bernie "Mad Dog" Madoff is going to have something to say about that.

It would be a more compelling video if the 2017 Ghost in the Shell adaptation were particularly bad. It was pretty good, just, as he says, not a 1:1 adaptation of the 1995 movie.

Next you'll be repeating your outlandish stellar turtle theory!

Pretty sure the only good Martian is a dead Martian.

Maze Runner itself seemed like a Hunger Games ripoff, so it was a ripoff of a ripoff.

It was the first time she'd ever used a thesaurus and she got too excited, okay?

No, no, that was the Maze Games, starring Jennifer O'Brien.

I think you're overlooking that the movie is only 89 minutes long. The songs probably account for like 30 minutes of that.

I don't know about its overall pointlessness (it will make tons of money), but they could have made it way cheaper and easier by just taking the voice tracks from the original and replacing the animation with the presumably 99% CGI that it will have, instead of re-recording it all.

Yeah, you know, silken terror.

I actually missed out on the Air Bud phenomenon, because I was about to watch it on TV but there was a commercial for Austin Powers on 30 seconds before it was supposed to start, and the babysitter thought I was watching Austin Powers, loudly declared "You're too young for that!" and changed the channel.

You sly dog, you cheated and got out of reviewing such gems as Spooky Buddies, Super Buddies, etc.!
