I wouldn’t have introduced that genre discussion into the piece to begin with, but at a certain point, yes, words have meaning?

While I very much agree that genres are loose and descriptive, rather than rigid and prescriptive, as terms they still convey some kinda meaning.

Maybe pedantic and more addressed to Mindy Kaling BUT that’s not what “science fiction” means. Like, by definition.

That movie fucking sucked.

I wish I was on the phone whilst watching it.

Covid huh? And here I was thinking that the movie faceplanted because it was, you know, kind of shit.

I think they kind of dodged a bullet on this film. If there was no COVID and they had a regular release with all the advertising of a big blockbuster film, the reception would have been way worse. It would have been on the level of Batman & Robin or Superman III and IV.

Except Diana losing her powers was the consequence to the wish. Steve being in someone else’s body wasn’t treated as a consequence at all. They never once considered the safety of the guy Steve possessed. Steve risked his life multiple times without thinking of what would happen to the body if he was hurt or killed.

It just also happens you didn’t understand

Stop handwringing over how it was released and handwring over the fact it was a shit movie. 

LOL, if COVID had never happened and this was released in theaters it would have been torn apart even more viciously than it did already. Warner would have likely lost just as much money.

If the magic stone can conjure nukes from thin air what’s stopping it from just conjuring Steve a new body? Why does it have to overwrite some other guy’s body?

This has to be a bit.

I’m still a little upset that HBO Max doesn’t seem to have any of the other 82 Wonder Woman movies in between the first one and WW84.  I still haven’t seen 84 because I’m worried I’ll be confused by the continuity.

“I don’t think it plays the same on streaming.”

“It was such a dark time,” she noted, in reference to the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the release of her superhero movie.

Honestly if I had watched WW 84 on a phone it could not have made the experience any worse then it was on my home theater.  It was such a shitty movie

I think it’s fair to feel really bummed out that your work was released in a way that didn’t favor it.

I wish I had watched it on a phone.

She should be more heartbroken by what a mediocre film she made.
