I still find Hendersons’s art to be utterly grotesque, not cute or cartoony.

It’s not pronounced at all, because it completely flies in the face of Spanish convention and pronunciation. It’s an English neologism that isn’t widely used anywhere in Latin America.

Really? I think it’s cringy as hell. She’s cracking her knuckles and scowling way too often in the comics. It doesn’t make her look tough, it makes her look silly.

Not enough hockey for that.

The ending is fantastic already.

And, to be honest, Marvel sidelining all of its A-list characters was a boneheaded move considering the fact that the MCU is the reason that Marvel is currently popular. That’s not a problem with diversity, but a problem with one method by which they tried to diversify.

Avengers was the only one that took place in New York, so it kinda makes sense.

They do... occasionally. Captain America and Iron Man have both been mentioned by name once in Daredevil and Luke Cage, respectively. I just don’t understand why they can’t do it more.

It clearly isn’t a legal thing, because Foggy actually mentions ‘Captain America’ by name in Daredevil. Method Man also mentions Iron Man in his Luke Cage rap.

The ‘first’ one was itself a remake.

Where the hell does this take place? I would assume England, but the elephants and mystical kung-fu temples suggest that’s not the case.

The wider public only knows Marvel characters because of the MCU. How are they going to react when they try getting into comics only to realize that the characters they liked from the movies have all been replaced by someone else?

Having numerous versions of characters that replace the versions that people actually care about probably IS affecting sales. There are THREE THORS right now. Who the fuck wants to read about three Thors at the same time? Pick one and roll with it, Marvel.

Don’t worry, your desired quotas have been met.

I hope they don’t go down that route. Revealing that the central premise of the movie was a ruse the whole time would be pretty frustrating and would sidestep a lot of the interesting philosophical quandries the existence of something like an afterlife raises.

It’s inherently unknowable, so no, I think they’ll keep it vague. Frankly, if you’re looking for accurate science in things like this you’re missing the point.

There is nothing good about the Invention of Lying.

Yeah, a whole two programs. And this is a movie, not a show.

For as big a passion project as this supposedly is, why did Besson get such a talentless non-actor like Cara Delevingne for one of the leads?

Russian was actually the second language I learned after English, because I majored in Russian history. Once you get past all the weird cases, Russian is actually remarkably consistent and easy to learn in both its grammar and its spelling. The Cyrillic alphabet is also pretty easy to pick up.
