Robert Zemeckis is a really good director, who for some reason insists on handicapping himself on nearly every damn movie he makes these days. He’ll do this whole thing motion-capture or something, I dunno, he’ll find some way to make it not work.

Robert Zemeckis hasn’t been forward thinking since the 80s.

Also important to note: These apes all have PhDs!

So, we’re pretty much out of ideas and just making the same movies for the 5th or 6th time now?

Sweet. She was excellent in Mad Max: Fury Road and this will sure to piss off racists, too, so it’s a win-win! Also, she already played Catwoman in The Lego Batman Movie and Mary Jane Watson in Into the Spider-Verse, so she has the experience.

I’d say Marvel has had more dad drama but there have been scenes with Thor and Loki interacting with their mother, Peter Quill’s grief over his mom, Peter Parker’s bond with his de facto mom, Aunt May, and Janet van Dyne’s whole story as a missing mother and wife.

The video downplays one reason that the Marvel movies might be rethinking father figures. The first batch of heroes had daddy issues because they needed to learn how to distinguish between might and right. We measure their heroism in the ability to break away from corrupt or overbearing fathers.

I fail to see how this show rises above the intellectual level of something like Daredevil.

Having a show that examines police vs racism vs terrorists should be a spiritual successor to something like the Wire not a sequel to a comic that featured a blue naked god-like man...

Yeah! I mean, had the fight choreographer for Crouching Tiger ever even seen a Yuen Woo-Ping film?

I’ll be honest, my favorite is post-boom. Stephen Chow. Kung Fu Hustle is wuxia turned up to 11 then force fed through a Tex Avery cartoon.

Crouching Tiger (for me) gets away with the breaks from reality that the wuxia style demands because that style is the water the film swims in. The entire thing is a product of that particular era and directorial decision. This seems to have some amount of that, but not enough to ground the entire thing in the…

And may be a while yet. Akrham Origins is widely considered the worst in the franchise by fans. It didn’t even have Kevin Conroy as Batman which has been a huge selling point of the game. Then there was the fact it was just a lesser copy of Arkham City.

I think you’re never going to reconcile that if people didn’t do stupid things on shows like this there would be no plot or conflict. It’s so contrived from conception that it’s a necessary evil.

Oh, the controversy was definitely overblown. The media ran with a narrative that this film is a tale about an absurdly heroic incel warrior of some kind, and it’s not. Not to mention how many supposedly liberal journalists adopted the Republican talking point that violent media is the real cause of mass shootings.

Really glad to read the film did so well. Not just because I personally loved it, but also because it was a risky movie to do and hopefully this incentivizes the studios to try more different things with their superhero properties.

Well, if Ye was step one, then Jesus is King is step two. First admit you have a problem, then discover a higher power. I just hope he gets to twelve in time to release some music that doesn’t feel like he’s reacting and reacting.

I’m sure the next week will deliver another curveball. Perhaps the far future is Moira’s mysterious sixth life, and perhaps the Phalanx have tampered with her to send ripples back into the past. But it’s nice that the the mutants get a moment of reprieve that feels grander than their occasional baseball games.

Kind of surprised to see so many positive reactions to this storyline. Retcons are the absolute laziest way of telling a story.

Is it OK to wait to get this story in a trade? I like the format better than single issues.
