I’ve never seen this show but for some reason I keep hearing about more and more reasons not to start. The fact a director sounds like he could be this clueless about something that could cause serious physical injury to an actor filming scenes for him sounds awful and dreadfully irresponsible for someone nominally in…

I’m glad to see that this movie is going for some of Jack Kirby’s psychedelic imagery, but I wish the color palette did not look so subdued. Even the shots of bright costumes swishing around have same tamped-down digital sheen as the other Marvel movies.

The baby part wasn’t necessary at all. Zombies shouldn’t need that kind of motivation to kill. Plus, it was done better in Dawn of the Dead anyway.

Wow, the third act is abysmal. With the introduction of Zombie fetus, yes, there is a Zombie Fetus—things go downhill.

I’m glad they got that feedback. Super early in the game when you’re in the village for the first time and you get a ton of enemies after you and you basically just have to run around long enough to trigger a cut scene- I was SUPER worried about how the rest of the game was going to play out.

Feige generally seems like a genuine guy, so it’s not necessarily fair to suggest that he’s just saying this now because he wants people to see Shang-Chi...

The weird thing is that, despite every effort to be a miserable shit, I am kind of fun. It drives me nuts.

Could this be about a vast conspiracy that stretches to the highest levels of power? Do we think that Leon and Claire will be placed on opposite sides of a feud between national security dudes and investigative truth-tellers that will ultimately bring them back together when it matters most? Will the…

Is this going to be the Animated Series nostalgia porn that dudes-pushing-40 like me might watch when we’re bored? Or do those throwback bat-ears point to a pulpier version of the character with Harley Quinn-style f-bombs and snark?

While Germain is my least favorite writer on this site by a wide margin, I’ll at least defend him by saying it’s possible to have an enjoyable/good movie that you also find flaws in

1. However, the larger landscape doesn’t quite extend to the story as a whole and the result is a film that works but feels familiar and a bit constricted.

I still think of 2014 as the last year of fun summer movies. We got Edge of Tomorrow, Godzilla, Snowpiercer, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Days of Future Past, and Guardians of the Galaxy.

$370 million global box office on a $180 million budget is not even close to being a hit. That’s barely break even.

Just something to fill that Friday Marvel void now that both WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier are over—and there’s still about another month before Loki arrives.

I really want Ira Glass and Terry Gross to both be mutants and to have a Thing vs. Hulk style throwdown in the middle of this event.

Respect to any celebrity guest who has consented to a canonical death scene in the Marvel universe, or demanded one.

Don’t you think this is far more bullshit-ridden than, say, a trailer?

I always wished Warner Bros had set their DCU in the pulpy 20's-30's-40's. I know it woulda thrown the budgets up the yazoo, but oh well.

So you’re saying marketers ... marketed their product? They highlighted the fact that people really enjoyed going to the movies and experiencing pop culture phenomenon together and that’s somehow bullshit?

Why is that unfortunate? I’m not going to be one of these people, I got to maybe 2 or 3 movies a year pre-pandemic, but it’s okay for people to start getting excited.
