Yeah, personally, I never really considered The Incredible Hulk as part of the MCU, even if they kept the late William Hurt’s General Ross and had end-credits teaser with Ross and Stark. Tonally, it was just a completely different film.

I think the heart of DC’s success so far is focusing on properties most people are either not familiar with or are not deeply invested in. Superman and Batman are like sacred ground for many people. Nolan did a pretty good job but that Batman is done and was never going to work in a larger cinematic universe. Snyder’s…

If ever there was a hero that didn’t need their origin story retold, it’s Batman. Kid, alley, gun, pearls, bats, Martha. We get it.

While I enjoyed The Batman for the most part, he wasn’t much of a detective and made Jeffrey Wright’s ‘Gordon’ and his men look like a bunch of incompetent fools. WB focused more on Batman being a hard, ass-kicking vigilante than a detective that works beyond the limits of the law. As far as individual films go,…

Despicable lies aren’t the only thing Alex Jones is going to be coughing up these days.

In L.A., that sounds about right.

That was one cool and patient stenographer. Having to sit downwind of his abhorrent coughing that entire cross-examination would’ve sent me into a violent rage.

Most definitely. Bozeman’s Black Panther introduction into the MCU in Civil War had me pumped, only to find his stand alone movie such a let down on the character, not just Killmonger’s story overshadowing T’Chala’s but also spent way too much time on his spiritual journey, communing with his father in the dreamworld,…

Sorry, meant that a “middling superhero movie can be successful”. A typo.

I mean, Black Panther had a budget of $200 million and the CGI looked as bad as 2000's X-Men. I guess the majority of the budget went to sets and costumes but still, for a 2018 Marvel movie with that kind of budget, they should’ve been polished, especially when the big climax relied so heavily on it.

Warner Brothers has traditionally been one to put all their eggs in one basket. Batman (1989) was huge and to their credit, they put a fuck-ton of money into marketing it and it paid off. Over the next ten years, WB drove the franchise into the ground. They took a crack at Superman again with Superman Returns to luke…

Didn’t they blow up a good number of Imperial outposts, like a mining station, a fueling station and a shipyard?

He was Ivan Drago! The bad guy! He should want to break Sylvester Stallone, not make him feel better about the fact that he doesn’t own any part of the film franchise he created!

The animation may have been cheap but it at least could afford more alien-looking aliens in contrast to pointed ears and variations of forehead ridges.

He’s definitely one of the more memorable supporting supporting cast members but to be fair, he was in what? 2, maybe 3 episodes?

I feel like they’ve already done that with Vader in the Obi-Wan series. I could be wrong though.

Are you suggesting that Hanna-Barbera recycled it’s properties?

God I miss HB. Been trying to watch Birdgirl and it’s just painful. Even the art style lacks any charm.

Even if it were Eminem and Snoop Dogg’s best work to date, if it’s endorsing NFT’s, fuck ‘em.

I remember a time when being a guest host on SNL was considered an honor. For the better part of 20 years, it’s been more like doing community service.
