I recall reading somewhere that Netflix structures its contracts such that it really ramps up the amount of money paid to the show producers/creators starting in the 3rd season. So for that reason, they end up canning a lot of shows right at that threshold, unless something’s enough of a runaway hit to justify the…

If anything, he may be a bit too perfect to bring a non-Disneyfied Pinocchio to the screen.

I don’t think it has to be a year but I would like some more visibility on when these games are going away.

That was probably their intent from the start.

It’s a movie? No thanks. I want a ten-episode series with exactly one fight scene in episode four, followed by five episodes of the heroine dithering about her powers, and finally punching a bad guy in the very last shot. Then I want the show cancelled. Otherwise how will I know I’m watching Netflix?

Things I hope are included: Slappy Squirrel, Tom Bodet, Clinton jokes

I think in particular the later Ren & Stimpy revival. Without the rest of the people involved in the show Kricfalusi’s schtick isn’t all that funny, and is notably creepy.

Aye, first thing I thought of with this was Agents of SHIELD... although I imagine Jeph Loeb had no idea that Daisy Johnson was Asian at the start of the series. The character’s actor, Chloe Bennett, specifically goes by Chloe Bennett instead of her given name (Chloe Wang, her father’s name is Bennett Wang) to avoid…

IMO the biggest problem of Spider-Man 3 (or at least the source of its biggest problems) was that it was overstuffed - it had too much going on and so wasn’t able to properly address all of them. The film would have been better if spread across two films.

i need the next holland spidey movie to go in a different direction. i liked homecoming a lot; i liked far from home a lot. but i don’t want to see him being SUPER HIGH TECH MINI TONY. 

Octavius was the best supervillain in the modern superhero movie lineup, fight me.

The thing about Raimi’s Spider-man that surpasses the current MCU SP is Parker’s struggle to make ends meet that was one of the cornerstones of the comic. That was one of the things that always made The Amazing Spider-Man so different from other comics. The MCU basically takes that away by having Tony Stark hovering…

I can’t think of a single other superhero movie right now where the real superpower that saves the day is the protagonist’s ability to convince other people to Do the Right Thing.

This movie gave me the perfect way to describe myself, that I still use sixteen years later:

These movies were incredibly disrespectful to Leia, Luke and Han. Luke and Han essentially gave up. I would have rather not had the original characters in the sequel trilogy at all, or have the three of them die through no fault of their own early on in The Force Awakens (like Executive Decision). The sequel trilogy…

Kylo was in it for himself and him trying to use Luke as an excuse to get you to feel sorry for him was an incredibly effective act of manipulation that only failed because Rey was motivated by her love of her friends more than her need to be someone

This series should have just committed to it being “We Need to talk about Kylo.” No excuses, no whiny backwalking, no pretending a 30-year-old man can blame his problems on his parents working too hard. He chased a “glorious past” and wound up with a bunch of fascists then took out all his angst on innocent people.

AFAIK, James Gunn had acknowledged and openly apologized properly for what he had said in the past years and years before it was brought up again and made such a huge deal of. That IMHO is the main difference.

It seems like the 90s were FULL of these kinds of performances, and it was glorious. Nobody makes good B-movies anymore =(

I dunno. I grew up watching Pacino’s ‘70s movies on cable in the ‘80s, and I always preferred his more nuanced, earlier performances. In the ‘90s he kinda turned into a deranged Muppet. (Not that I have a big problem with that.)
