Nah - with everything so fluid, holding off on marketing campaigns seems pretty smart at this point (and being launched much closer to the expected release than usual - we didn’t get trailers of Godzilla Vs Long or Cruella until a few weeks ago). I expect we see something for Shang-Chi in a couple of months and…

Mulan and Raya both had roughly three months between their Premier Access debut and being available for free (Raya is due in June). They may hold off longer on Black Widow at least as a way of shifting DVDs and blu-rays - but probably not much longer. 

My weird thing is that it features two women of colour who both get into car crashes because they were distracted looking at a (male) hero.

Again, I overall agree with your point. But Wright hadn’t shot a lot of footage - he’d shot test footage for a sort-of teaser trailer. None of the actual film had been shot. And I think you’re sanding off the edges of Whedon’s Ultron frustrations. He’s spoke a lot over the years about how frustrating the making of…

Scott Derrickson left Doctor Strange 2 over creative differences. And Whedon’s split from the studio wasn’t amicable. I agree overall about the quality of the work he's been doing but there have been clashes. 

She calls it a mayonegg. 

I think it would be three movies split into 0.6 of their runtime. 

I remember losing hope for the fifth film (hey, Greengrass and Damon were back! I had hopes at first!) when the title was revealed to be... Jason Bourne. They couldn’t even think of a good The Bourne (Blank) title. 

Well, almost anything. LXG, Catwoman and Elecktra were all lines they drew. 

“Oh, murder, murder, murder! Change the fuckin’ record!

Melancholia is fantastic and Dunst is so, so good in it.

They cut the fuck out of it.

Huh. Hadn’t even considered that - so they even end up erasing the 2015 reality they improved - and, likely, the kids they tried to save. 

I’ll admit, I’d forgotten that detail. I can buy that as good motivation! But then I didn’t think of it as a plot hole (certainly not like the dicks who tweet at Gale demanding he explain why they don’t recognise Calvin Klein in 1985) - I just found it funny that the sequel moved from the original’“everything must be…

I was thinking about BTTF II (which I love, convoluted plot and all) the other day and it made me realise something I’d not thought about before - though I imagine that the infinite nerds at an infinite number of keyboards nature of the Internet means it’s probably not an original thought. But in the 2015 segment,…

There’s plenty of stuff that works mixed in with plenty that doesn’t and it just becomes a big, weird mess of a film. I mean, what was up with that pie scene? Or cutting away from the final battle to the reporter (who is a dreadful actor) telling us exactly what’s happening and what the stakes are? And let’s not…

Huh. Weird joke.

The second bit? For real.

Maybe I missed it but is the line even in the finished film? I didn’t catch it but, by that point, I was wondering why the film was lurching past its natural endpoint by tacking on new scenes from the reshoots.
