Their business model probably changed somewhat in the streaming world, but not much- they still make very cheap content that they sell to a delivery service for cheap, all to try to get consumers to watch through deception. They probably don’t make money per stream anymore like they did per copy in their DTV days, but…

This is a cartoon from the same country as Métal Hurlant and Barbarella. They don’t need no Claremont to insert weird fetishes in their children show. Proof:

3 out of 4 of thrse movies are like that “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” “Dawn of the ...” and now “Kingdom of the”. Only War is a bit different, as it is “War for the”.

I mean, in Doctor Who time has never been linear, it’s a big ball of timey-wimey stuff. And now we are dealing with conceptual forces from outside the universe. So it’s not that big a stretch to simply assume that defeating The Maestro at any time simply undo his influence at every point in time simultaneously, like…

I think War was mostly hurt by its marketing. This poster in particular set expectations the movie could never meet:  

The movie had its moments, but overall I felt that the story and characters were too thin to really justify the 2h25 minutes runtime. Proximus in particular really needed more character work, but so did Noah and his clan, honestly. And the whole mythology of Caesar, and the contrasting versions of it from Raka and…

“Mae was going there to kill [Noa] because he scares her”

Honestly, not really worried, at least not based on Wes Ball. All the problems I had with Kingdom were with the writing, not the direction, and the Legend of Zelda movie doesn’t have the same writers as Kingdom as far as we currently know.

Another defavorable comparison I would make between Mae and Lucy is that when Lucy acts bigoted towards mutants or people on the surface, she gets consequences for it. But May keeps acting like human supremacist and getting away with it. 

Am I the only one who didn’t like Mae at all?

It wasn’t a musical episode, it was an episode with a musical number in it. One. So about 3 minutes out of 60.

“Jurassic Park works because the spectacle is rooted in clear character stories and each important plot beat is rooted in character.”

Exactly. Madame Web and Morbius are terrible, but it is an interesting kind of terrible.

It’s funnt how Catwoman’s design is the same as her Brave and the Bold’s look:

This is an eternal debate when doing a period piece in a fantastical genre like superheroes or pulp adventure : do you have to be faithful to everything in the era, including the bad stuff, in order to not sweep past atrocities under the rug? Or is it okay to bring in modern sensibilities, because this is a fantasy…

Yah know, it’s hard to tell sometimes, but I think Warner Bros is currently the most creatively bankrupt studio right now. Even Sony’s terrible Spider-Man adjacent crapfests use characters we haven’t seen before. But apart from their DC plans, everything WB announces to milk its franchises are rethread with nothing…

WB saw Universal make an entire movie out of one chapter on Dracula and said “hold my beer”!

I mean, unshaved Chris Pine in a bad wig is still Chris Pine. So not that hard to believe. It's the male equivalent of putting a gorgeous woman in glasses and a ponytail - she's still gorgeous. 

While after Diamonds are Forever the continuity of Bond movies is pretty loose, the movies did keep up the pretense that they were all sequels to one another. This was mostly limited to marketing or to short allusion to, for example, Bond’s marriage (License to Kill) or Bond being active during the Cold War…

None of those were considered or talk about as reboot though, but as adaptations. Like I think I mentionned in a previous discussion, I read a bit about the subject last year, and every scholarly article I read used Batman Begins or Casino Royale as the origin of reboot. In the horror genre, Rob Zombie’s Halloween is…
