I had the same reaction when someone tried to explain it to me the first time.

“You maniacs!!! You blew them!! You blew them all!!!”

“Alright. It’s just...you’re so damned ugly!”

“Get your hands on me, you damn dirty ape!”

Durand Durant: Hungry Like The Monkey, Apes On Film

I hope they passed the audition. 

I feel like the main reason Inhumans didn’t work was because it was terrible.

Bad news sir, it looks like the next movie won’t make a billion at the box office.

Who the fuck doesn't like ALF?

In 1966 the creators of Star Trek figured out how to paint a woman green. Apparently this knowledge has not survived and so Marvel producers in 2022 had no choice but to spend $25 million an episode on a big CGI She-Hulk.

My favorite test screening story is from the Harrison Ford movie Clear and Present Danger. When the bad guy died, the audience began to cheer, but he died really fast so they didn’t get much of a chance to. This actually resulted in negative scores as viewers were upset they didn’t get to cheer. So they reshot his…

I am curious how the “life lessons” angle works in a ‘Blade’ film.

Of course, you have to remember that the “anti-woke” are never happy, just varying degrees of impotently furious.

The issue there wasn’t really “ack! too many Star Wars!” it was “wait, these movies are mostly bad and the big trilogy capper was exceptionally terrible.”

Are we even sure that is 100% of what happened here? Or is it possible that the world of media consumption is different in 2023 than it was when the MCU started, and we need to calibrate accordingly before we make sweeping assessments of anything except actual quality...

I don’t know how we test for “Superhero…

It’s such a fundamental aspect of modern capitalism that people refuse to believe things have a shelf life, and that no matter how popular or god forbid profitable something is, one day, even if everything goes perfectly to plan, that thing will stop being both. It’s happened in broad public view thousands of times…

Nothing lasts forever and this part of Marvel’s arc was inevitable.

Oh sure, the movie could have been terrible from the start. I have more faith in a director and writer’s “vison” than opinions from randoms off the street.

She-Hulk cost $25m per episode?!  That makes me feel kinda sick.

OMG this is not that complicated. Is there some kind phenomenon going on where you immediately start losing brain cells when you enter the C-suite? 1) Just recast Kang. The world is not gonna end if another person plays the character. 2) The Avengers aren’t at their peak? No shit. People are gonna get burned out…
