Because exposition tests badly, whereas Margot Robbie in a bubble bath presumably tests well with at least half the audience? Sure, they might miss the actual explanation, but so long as the test audience has a positive response to the scene overall the studio won’t mind.

Nope. Your hat is not “on the blockchain” just waiting to be implemented in the next game. All that’s on the blockchain is your receipt.

Agents of SHIELD had Bobbi Morse, codename: Mockingbird. IIRC, she is never referred to as Agent 19.

What makes you think that would be an adjustment, let alone a scramble?

I think the stance being presented is that nothing in Hawkeye thus far contradicts anything in Black Widow’s stinger (unlike the Loki possessing Selvig thing also mentioned) and it’s weird to write a whole article that assumes otherwise just because the show hasn’t explicitly joined every dot. Occam’s razor says the…

Trying something different? Aside from some bizarre choices in the details (Bruce Wayne and Lois Lane hooking up?!), his plan for Justice League 2 and 2A was incredibly similar to what we got in Infinity War and Endgame (and notably, each part was planned to come out a year after it’s Marvel equivalent, so you’d…

I think the bigger issue was the running time mandate combined with the choice not to delay the release. Looking at Snyder’s cut, any competent editor could comfortably trim the bloat down to 2:30 or thereabouts without losing anything of note (it felt like Snyder had decided if he was coming back, he was going to…

Hey! It was an office district in a major metropolitan area, it’s entirely logical that it completely empties of all human life the instant the sun goes down.

Watchmen?

by making one of its characters (Kang Sae-Byeo, played by Jung Ho-Yeon)

To be fair, he’s probably not all that involved. Scott talks a lot, but while his name’s been attached to plenty of TV shows over the last decade, it’s really only Raised By Wolves that shows signs of him having a significant creative influence. The real question is, who would be driving the show?

Are you sure? Just because they’d edited the movie together, doesn’t they’d finished the effects shots in it. Don’t forget that Snyder claimed his cut of Justice League was locked in before he left (although that was probably bullshit, and he definitely made changes when he came back).

Saying it won’t cost as much as Zack Snyder’s Justice League is not the same as saying it will be cheap enough to make financial sense. It’s still a CGI heavy superhero film, and Ayer doesn’t command a rabid cult like Snyder who can be relied upon to turn out for it.

He left Ultimates because he was taking over Avengers and didn’t have time for both. I feel your pain, because his Ultimates run was as good as it had ever been (arguably better), but I don’t think he was dicked over.

Someone should get onto COVID-19 and tell it that having such radically different effects from one victim to the next is a huge plot hole.

Hell, if Squid Game has taught us anything, it’s that even a half-decent English dub would open the original Train to Busan to a wider audience just fine.

I think part of the problem is that the version of that sequence we got was cut.

I think that’s unfair. It was probably all of them together that made Alien so great. Scott is a fine director, it’s just that he wouldn’t recognise a quality script if it bit him on the ass, so it’s pot luck as to what he’s working with on any given project.

True, but the criticism that “[Superhero movie] scripts are not any fucking good” would certainly mean a hell of a lot more if it came from someone who showed the first sign of being able to tell the difference between a good script and a bad one.

Plus Army of the Dead just demonstrated that it’s entirely possible to switch out one character for another even in post-production. If they’ve really been shooting around Wright, then recasting the character should be pretty straightforward from a technical perspective.
