If you are person who would be interested in a movie about the Manhattan Project, you already know the story of it.

I read that more as those movies making mincemeat of Marvel at the box office / in general terms of quality, rather than them being responsible for Marvel’s misfortunes.

TBF Japan comes up in the “Opening Look” preview. Looks like it’s going to be a topic of some discussion at least.

Yeah, not seen it, but it seems to be that the logical way this plot’s gonna develop is along the lines of:

Shut up and give me my Dino Riders reboot!

A dragon was not going to eat an entire town in an episode of the X-Files because people outside the town would know about it. An army of trolls wasn’t going to take over Manhattan with only Fox and Mulder able to stop them.

Not that you don’t otherwise have a valid point, but TBF only pretentious celebrity assholes are actually doing that.

“Entertainers aren’t necessary!” says person commenting on entertainment blog. 

As is currently the style of the time. 

Oh sure, let’s all listen to Mr I Don’t Need To Be Almost Killed By A Household Appliance To Have Creative Ideas over here. 

TBF I think a large part of that boils down to a combination of “Jesus, we need to get the kids into a big dark room where they’ll be quiet for about 90-120 fucking minutes” and “aha! This is something vaguely familiar by a name I recognise for generally reliable kid-friendly shit”.

You must have been really eager for a reply there in that whole minute between your first comment and your second one.

Well, I’m not a Snyderverse fan, I’m not angry about anything, and I’m not particularly exhausted, but apart from that, nailed it, good work.

I suppose, but it still doesn’t seem like a particularly fair point of criticism, especially since we’re just seeing this from the trailer; there’s a few shots of him mixing stuff up together, so it seems a bit early to criticise this for being more ‘magical’ than the movie about a chocolate factory that was still…

This might have gone without saying—on account of the previous cinematic superhero output of the guy who’s making it—but James Gunn’s Superman: Legacy is shaping up to be a pretty odd film. a film which isn’t unbearably pompous and self-serious.

GET OUT

I dunno, when you’re talking about a guy who makes candy that can inflate people and turn them blue, invents drinks that negate gravity (that showed up in the original as well), and has basically invented shrinking and teleportation, this seems like a kind of meaningless distinction. Willy Wonka doesn’t have a magic…

I mean... say what you will about this trailer/this movie/this concept as a whole, the original story is literally set in a magical chocolate factory.

I will riot if they don’t give him that Moe Howard haircut.
