I think the point is Ang Lee’s HULK movie was considered overly-serious and hiring Louis The Transporter Letterier as director was a direct reaction to that. Marvel wanted a do-over and make a more actiony Hulk movie, just 5 years after we got Oedipus Hulk. Norton was making the right argument at the wrong time.

Who Edward Norton is as a person is perfectly summed up by the fact that not only was he completely oblivious to the fact that his character in Birdman was clearly based on him but he also failed to see the irony in him trying to wrest control of said character from the director until he explicitly pointed out said

I think that’s a fair read of Norton. He’s a pretentious jag. But I tend to give him a pass on that because the attitude comes from caring about the writing of a film. And any time he’s gotten his hands on the script of a film it seems to come out pretty well. So sure, he’s an asshole who has a very high opinion of

Pretty sure Frankenstein’s monster has a Marvel incarnation.

What the fuck. Jennifer Connelly described Ang Lee’s Hulk as a four-person psychodrama. It had Eric Bana’s usual constipated look in every frame (can you believe that guy made Chopper?) And we are acting like they didn’t make a SERIOUS HULK? No it’s more like WHY THE FUCK WOULD THE INCREDIBLE HULK BE A SERIOUS

Quantumania was pretty bad (but see the recent article about how maybe Thor 2 wasn’t that bad if the other movies are this bad). You’re in for a treat if you watch the actual good ones.

Maybe. I dunno, though. First act incoherence problems like those described in the review sound like restructuring issues. My guess is that those poorly-received test screenings this summer really freaked them out and they overcorrected with reshoots and plot-tinkering. Again. This just keeps happening. Love and

The movie’s best line, just a few minutes after Thor’s little grin, comes when Darcy and Thor are reunited and she asks him how “space” is, to which he responds: “Space is fine.”

Honestly Miss Marvel did not really do a great job explaining where her powers came from either. Like the bangle gave her the powers but maybe it awakened them and maybe she is part of Clan Destine(which holy fuck is that a deep pull for the MCU) or maybe she is just a mutant. 

They should try and do a “Marvel Team-Up” or “Marvel Two-In-One” style show, featuring different heroes and villains. They’re already doing something like that with What If...?

I think a lot of us gave them a shot but the quality dropped quick.  

January release and all episodes dropped at once. I have my suspicions ...

The increasing prominence of Michael Cudlitz as the series’ version of classic baddie Lex Luthor.

If the prequels have taught us anything, it’s that there is no statute of limitations on a Star Wars property.

Right, this is where it’s at. Make good Fantastic Four and X-Men films, and the MCU is back in business. If not, it’s probably over.

Could not agree more. I’m one of those people who likes to pretend the sequel trilogy doesn’t exist, but I never had a problem with the character of Rey nor her portrayal by Ridley. I thought she did a fantastic job, same goes for the rest of the core cast.

I was gonna say exactly this. I’m a typical jaded middle aged Star Wars fan; I grew up in the wake of the OT, I was there on opening night for Phantom (and left thinking what the fuck?), and after the prequels I thought I was done with Star Wars. Others like the prequels, I know; they weren’t for me, and neither was
