Turn out Johnson didn’t want to subvert expectations THAT much:

“George Lucas created Jar Jar lulz!” ceased being a valid retort right around the time Rian had Luke milk the thala-siren.

Even though you knew Bucky was brainwashed and not acting of his own free will? That’s beyond irrational.

He tries to joke around because he doesn’t want to accept that it might really come down to him having to kill her. And then she forces him to process it.

Doctor Strange knew that it had to go down exactly as it did. Star Lord’s rage is technically part of the plan.

This is the fanboy film that the mega fans wanted.

The kind of people who might even see a movie 2 or 3 times in a weekend.

I apologize for posting the same thing twice, but:

Black Panther and Infinity War opened two months apart. They’re currently on pace to make $700 million domestic EACH. BP is around $1.5 billion worldwide, while IW may cross the two billion barrier. “Fatigue” is just CYA for “yeah we managed to drive a good portion of the hardcore fans away”.

My life has gone on.

If they wanna lose even more paying costumers, sure, mess with animation fans.

People love to brand the “haters” as toxic, but they’ve got nothing on the blind loyalists that lash out even at rational, well-supported arguments.

Pretty sad when people think I should keep pumping money into something I no longer enjoy because of brand loyalty.

That’s... fine (if a bit self-aggrandizing), but the reality of the situation is that Disney’s probably not going to change much about its Star Wars plans going forward as a result of Solo’s box office performance.

I unstarred this so I could star it again.

As a Liverpool fan, I’m depressed enough without Haisley having to write anything. Please, tell him to take the day off.

Depth is the key. When Zidane can summon up Gareth Bale to break a deadlock, and Klopp has to make do with an Adam Lallana fresh off a long injury spell, it’s time to open up the checkbook. FSG’s moneyball model only gets you so far.

For me, it’s not the fact that he’s not attracted to Asian men. It’s the way he goes on to talk about how Takei couldn’t possibly attract a white blond surfer dude.

He explained, “He was 20 years older than me and short. And I wasn’t attracted to Asian men.”

Of course! Anyone who calls out the ham-fisted preachiness of the movies MUST be alt-right! Of course! No true Scotsman would ever think of being critical!
