No, the poster pointed out the blindingly obvious truth that Queen Elizabeth II, main character of the series The Crown, was not a slave trader.

Not only is that not true, in 300's defense (and I’m not a fan of it overall), it’s presented as being a story told by Spartans, with wild embellishments. It’s not at all meant to be taken literally, though I assume The Woman King is.

“whose impact is still felt today” - wow, I hope you didn’t spend too much money renting that forklift to move your goalposts that far in the span of two posts.

Europeans called Africa the “dark continent” because it was uncharted by their geographers’ knowledge, and dangerous to explore due to pathogens for which they had no immunity. It had nothing to do with a perceived lack of color in dress, decor, or aesthetics in its inhabitants’ cultures (so far as I know, at least).

What about Pete's Dragon?

I don’t know the comics character either. All I know is that, in her origin movie, Danvers discovered she’d been a brainwashed warrior killing people on the wrong side, and her reaction was more or less to shrug, change her outfit colors, and keep on fighting, just on the right side this time. There wasn’t much…

No title announcement? Dang.

Even if you think the internet reaction to TLJ inspired the ruination of Ep. IX, the studio made the movie it made, so the responsibility for IX ultimately rests with them, and them alone. To blame IX on disgruntled fans is punching down, plain and simple.

IIf you’re going to gossip at such a length as this, shouldn’t you at least offer *some* theory as to the reason behind this alleged Pugh/Wilde spat?

Can we please the heck add runtimes and availability details back to the info boxes?!

Maybe tickets should be significantly discounted in later weeks?

Not to mention, the movie was shot during peak covid on top of CIA-level secrecy, so, yeah, if a scene set in a small kitchen makes sense, why not?

It’s almost as if (and this is no slight to the Russos, but rather a general observation on showbiz’s obsession with directorial auteur theory) the people writing the scripts have just as important a job as those who oversee the filming and editing of said works.

The criticism, as already stated, is that the film lacked focus.

“The series has the approval of original creator Merian C. Cooper”

I liked The Batman better when it was three different movies called Seven, Zodiac, and The Dark Knight, and each were more focused, shorter, and all-around better. The Batman itself was pretty okay.

Maybe any one megacorporation shouldn’t be allowed to own most and/or all of more than one streaming service??

“also the Tolkien estate, whose chief representative, J.R.R. Tolkien’s son and literary executor, Christopher Tolkien, has been vocal in the past about his distaste for Jackson’s films.”

Leia calling Chewie a "walking carpet" hasn't exactly aged well...

“This is seemingly what everyone was hoping for ever since Picard premiered two seasons ago.” - No, I think many of us were perfectly ready for a quality Picard-centric show that was very different in terms of cast, tone, and story. But the “quality” part wasn’t optional, and boy howdy has the series not delivered in…
