Warner Bros: SHUT UP! MONEY! SHUT UP! MONEY! WE’RE BROKE! GIVE US MONEY! SHUT UUUUUUUP!...*whimper*.....want money......*whimper*

He’s not, he’s Jamie’s uncle. Susan Sarandon is playing Ted’s sister, Victoria, though and I have to assume those suits are hinting that Ted (or someone, at least) used the scarab at some point in the past.

It looks like a lot of fun, which is honestly all I want out of a Blue Beetle movie.

That might be the single best suit in a superhero movie ever. Like, it’s fucking perfect and the action looks like they really understand and are taking advantage of what the scarab can do. It does look a little cheaply produced, but…

Martinet is a professional actor, not “just” Mario and not “just” a voice actor. He can and has done infinitely more than the half dozen lines we know him for as Mario. Crafting a performance is his entire career. If Nintendo and Illumination gave him the opportunity, he could and would have crushed it, because that’s…

You do realize that Martinet isn’t a Pokemon, and he’s capable of saying more words than what Nintendo has given him in the past, right?

They didn’t hire him NOT because he can’t give an actual performance, but because they can’t rely on his name to sell tickets.

The one thing we can and should all be celebrating is Perlmutter’s firing! He’s a miserable sexist and racist old cunt, nearly forced Feige to bail on Marvel entirely, and was a cheap bastard, too.

Nothing of value was lost there and Disney should have booted his ass years ago.

And yet, the season is halfway over and what did this episode really accomplish?

Legit baffling this writer seemingly doesn’t know that Hideki Kamiya created, wrote, and directed both Bayonetta and Okami, or that Platinum was founded almost entirely by ex-Capcom/Clover employees.

Similarly to how Bayonetta 3 felt like the devs flipped the script after playing Devil May Cry 5 halfway through its development, the opening moments of Cereza feel like PlatinumGames copying Capcom’s homework with Okami—a 2006 action-adventure series the Bayonetta games have unabashedly referenced in the past.

I just saw the LA Times report, which also confirmed it with his reps...absolutely heartbreaking.

Possibly, I only know them as a tabloid trash rag. Regardless, every single article reporting this is just citing the TMZ post, and while there was a death reported the LAPD hasn’t shared the identity yet.

Maybe it’s just my own disbelief, but I have been scouring the web and cannot find a single source for this outside of TMZ...so, at least for now, I’d take this with a pinch of salt.

And the great Rhodey recasting of 2010, and the Fandral recasting of 2013, and the Red Skull recast of 2018, and the Cassie Lang recast of 2022...this is not a new phenomena in the MCU.

Also, just to reiterate because people don’t seem to get it, none of the Netflix shows are strictly canon. They were all produced by…

I think specifically using that title is more a signifier that the show is a reboot (a soft reboot, mind) than a straight sequel series.

I think that’s the biggest thing Guggenheim may be missing in all of this.

Yes, the DCCW (I refuse to call it the Arrowverse) did well for its network and had a ton of fans...but none of those shows were the kind of “Prestige” mass-appeal crossover tv people really pop for and none of them did well enough ratings-wise…

Right...the guy who couldn’t figure out anything more interesting to do with Green Arrow than to turn him into Batman and turned Crisis on Infinite Earths into one of the most tedious, poorly paced and plotted tv movies I’ve ever seen is mad DC didn’t give him more opportunities.........ok, Jan.

And before anyone says…

Honestly, I was incredibly hyped for Forbidden West...Zero Dawn was one of my absolute favorite PS4 titles and I was so, so excited for the sequel...the sequel which I ultimately hated roughly 80% of.

The exploration and traversal and combat were all top-notch, and the performance capture across not just the main cast…

No idea! I knew Marshall disowned the film and had talked about how much he hated making it, but had to look up what the source of that was, so this is the first I’ve ever heard of them.

As far as him making movies for/with his GF...I mean, that’s kind of Paul W.S. Anderson and Milla Jovovich’s entire career for the…

Marshall, via an April 2022 interview with Critical Drinker After Hours:

This is a very stupid thing to get hung up on, admittedly, but...
