Well, you have pointed out another problem (and this comes from someone who basically liked the movie). The dialogue was flat and generally humorless. Better actors are able to bring dimension and humor to characters when it isn’t available in the script, but everyone deserved a better script with characters who are…

Her terrible acting was wtf was wrong with Amber Heard. She looked great (ridiculously colored hair notwithstanding), but she clearly lacked the finesse to pull off some clunky dialogue. I have seen her do better work in other movies that had stronger scripts, but in Aquaman, she gave me a new appreciation for actors…

You are correct that there is an imbalance, but the notion that an adaptation that is transposed to the location of the market for which it is intended is somehow obligated to feature actors whose ethnicity matches that of those in the original source material is an arbitrary way to address the issue. It doesn’t hold…

Agreed that the banishment of Snyder has benefitted the DCEU, but they are going to have to make an effort to improve their scripts and deal with some troublesome casting problems (cough, Mera, cough) before they can really hold up against the MCU. I’m hoping that James Gunn can help them on that level, and possibly…

Apparently it is a complicated Hulk-like situation due to a few different attempts to make Sub-Mariner movies by different producers.

Actually, Cyborg made his live-action debut in 2006 on Smallville played by the late Lee Thompson Young. He appeared on the show about three times .

As I understand it, he and Brendan Fraser will basically be doing voice performances except for a few flashbacks to when their characters were just regular, non-powered humans. They can literally phone it in, so you will hear them, but you probably won’t see much of them.

That could be a very expensive negotiation. What is unknown is whether or not the back seasons of the shows will revert back to Disney’s control after the two year limbo period or if they are contracted to live at Netflix for longer. I am pretty sure that ultimately, Disney owns all six of the series outright even…

Disney owns the shows. There shouldn’t be any copyright conflict there. Once Netflix cancels the shows, beyond any reported non-compete period, any rights revert back to the production company which, in this case, is Disney owned.

The Bat-Signal from Elseworlds in in Vancouver. Gotham shoots (or shot, I should say, since they are finished) in New York City. They would have built their own Bat-Signal.

He is way too young, but it seems like the show was ready to be ended, so they will have to make do. Perhaps there will be a time jump at the end and some extensive CGI to bulk him up. As with Smallville, it is unlikely that he will officially become Batman with a pointy cowl until the final episode.

Probabbly not. It depends on who owns the particular content. The Y The Last Man pilot has already been filmed.

It couldn’t possibly be as bad as NBC’s live Sound of Music. I mean, there’s oceans of difference between “somewhat disappointing” and wrongheaded disaster. Must we jump immediately to the worst possible comparison?

Roger Rabbit was a very out-of-the-ordinary collaboration with Warner Brothers so they could use all of those animated characters from both studios. There have reportedly been many discussions about possible sequels over the years, but it is an extraordinarily complicated production that would require not just a…

They will do the third, end the arc and then probably break up the band.

Well, he didn’t do it to me or you, so I don’t see why everyone needs to be so upset about it. I’m pretty sure he mainly did it to publicize the movie —so everyone could have a weird story to tell. I have a hard time believing that in real life either Will Smith or Viola Davis would tolerate any of that nonsense for…

Well, the show isn’t called “Teen Titans”. That’s a different show. Clearly it is not trying to be something familiar. That would be easy, and a bit predictable. I’ll give them credit for taking characters you think you know and showing them in new ways .

Obviously, this would have been a disaster. I’m not familiar with any of Lucrecia Martel’s movies, but at this point, it seems clear that taking on any of these big franchise movies requires the ability to synthesize a lot of creative input coming from other people who are not the director. From the list of things she…

That doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

It’s all but certain that The Punisher will get canceled about a month after it gets released, so you may get your wish. The same fate is expected for Jessica Jones when her third season comes out sometime around the middle of next year (They finish shooting this week).
