I always figured this was going to be a kind of victory lap for the old school X-men, so I fully expect Famke Janssen, James Marsden, Ray Park, Halle Berry, Anna Paquin, Rebecca Romijn, et al to cameo.

(A recent leak suggests that a [REDACTED] MCU villain will show up to challenge Deadpool and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine in the film. You can google if you’re curious; we don’t want to provoke the wrath of Ryan Reynolds here.)

Paul Anka and Lisa Simpson wrote a song about this.

When the Switch ports were announced, I figured Arkham Knight was probably going to play like hot garbage, but I didn’t expect similar results from Asylum and City. One would assume that a video game console released in 2017 would have little problem playing an 8 year old PS3 game, but here we are.

I’ll add that Alan Tudyk’ Joker has really grown on me after the many Harley seasons. 

Conroy is the voice of Batman. Other people have tried but nothing has stuck quite like his voice. similar to Mark Hamill with the Joker. I am glad WB saw the obvious and put him in as many projects as they did when they were constantly switching VAs for every other character.

I feel like your response was meant to be snarky but...it’s just true? Except that it doesn’t make sense to call Oppenheimer a franchise (since it is a single film without franchise potential or intent). But it was/is very popular (nearly a billion in box office receipts).

Just like the movies then, sounds like they nailed it.

i am really interested to see how this does. for a multi billion dollar franchise, i’ve never actually met someone in person that saw Avatar 2 in theaters, so I don’t understand who is going to these. the first film was so bad it was basically a comedy. most people i know don’t ever talk about avatar, and they are…

I mean, both movies were visually stunning with zero plot or depth, so I guess this is pretty faithful?

And don’t forget that it isn’t painted, so you have to bring the metal itself back to perfect visual quality. A painted panel needs to be brought to the correct shape and texture, and then any variance in color gets painted over. Raw stainless steel will likely just have to be replaced because you will never get it…

“Gorgeous, Fun and Empty” ... So it’s like an Avatar movie?

An EV battery replacement is also a lot simpler and quicker than an engine rebuild. Doesn’t mean it’s cheaper.

Ahh yes Tesla, the bastion of truthfulness. 

Of course it’s empty. It’s based on the Avatar IP, so it’s going to be marketed and over-commercialized to hell and back.

I'm not so sure about that.  Even stainless steel will develop a patina over a relatively short period of time. It won't match a brand new panel

Right, I wasnt even thinking about that. But these are insurance companies we’re talking about here, they will absolutely use any excuse they can think of to raise rates. 

Agreed. There will be no hail damage claims and any minor parking lot damage is probably unlikely too. There also wont be any painting or blending of adjacent panels for color match.

From what I can see so far, it does look like it’s at least more resistant to dents than a typical body. I mean, I was skeptical of this till I saw Randy Pobst smack the middle of the door with that sledge. Was it a metal sledgehammer? No, but that door was OBVIOUSLY a lot more dent resistant than any other steel…

After coffee, chocolate is the consumable I feel I must have.
