Yea that’s my guess. The last several reboots of Fantastic 4 illustrate it pretty well with how well the Reed Richards CGI was received (goofy as hell at best.)

Considering the rest of the show looks roughly super-sentai level of FX, I’m betting on C.

Isn’t that the reason the producers of Ms. Marvel said when they changed her powers to “solid light” instead of stretchiness?

I can assure you that the trailers don’t showcase his abilities because it’ll look weird no matter how good the special effects are. Something about human bodies stretching or flattening has never translated well to live action and whomever is handling the trailers for the adaption likely knows this.

Funny how studios thought that they could make their own streaming apps without taking into consideration how much it actually costs to run . It’s probably way cheaper to license out all their IP to the likes of Netflix and stuff and just worry about making the content. 

I don’t know why they would continue doing this. Just a 16% bump in sales on a roughly 50% decrease in ticket price is not good business. I bet it goes to at least $5 next year and maybe they move it to a weekday or a Sunday when there are no new wide releases.

The problem is going to be that if this ends up being an annual occurrence on a specific date (or time of month), then sales are going to be suppressed the weeks before because everyone will just wait for discount day.

When I was in school (around 15-18 years ago) a ticket cost around 4€. We’d go all the time. We’d buy plenty of popcorn and drinks too. Now I go maybe once per half year if even (it’s both due to pricing and covid, to be fair)

That’s a totally reasonable take. What always raises my hackles - and what you very studiously did not do - is when people demand that others come into the office because they don’t like working from home so clearly it can’t work for anybody.

Add Snowpiercer to this list. The fourth and final series completed filming and post production but was again buried for a tax write off by TNT. It was one of the few times Sean Bean didn’t get killed off (or at least not yet).

Seriously! And half these reactions even specifically say that they’ve never seen the source material!
I’ve read the same costume and set design criticism for Ahsoka being too clean, which is essentially adapting The Clone Wars and Rebels.

‘Reactions’ are just out-sourced press releases. Change my mind.

“Paramount’s looking to shop the six-episode show around to other buyers.”? Um, isn’t there a streaming service owned Paramount that needs content?

Every time a company cancels a show or movie that’s already been made, I want to slap them across the face.

Paint a wall and watch it dry, you’ll get the same experience as watching Ahsoka.

He was certainly evil in the Thrawn Trilogy, fighting the New Republic and trying to deliver Leia/Han’s twins to an insane Dark Jedi. All the stuff about him being on a somewhat noble secret mission came later, and I for one don’t like it one bit, Zahn or not.

“cost-conscious consumers are apprehensive about making the transition”

I can’t afford a $32,000 car, let alone one twice that. And I drive my cars for 10+ years. In a decade will my electric car be as obsolete as an iPhone 5?

If you can’t afford a new car, you effectively don’t exist to automakers
