It’s insane, it’s almost as if that whole intro was written/directed/shot/edited by an entirely different creative team.

I don’t generally get mad at movies, even bad movies, but that goddamn MK movie is worse than bad, it’s straight up incompetent as a piece of media. The script is abysmal, the direction is amateur, the editing feels like an early assembly cut, the cgi sucks, the fight choreography is non-existent., etc., etc., etc. 

It’…

Ok...but the text that was written does, and Gunn said in the initial announcement that Morrison run was what the film will be based on.

Gunn has said he’s tried to use Ambush Bug before, but there’s some weird rights issues that would have to get figured out. Granted, that was before he was running the studio, so maybe they’ll figure them out now?

Previously, Gunn and Safran had this to say about the next Batman film, which will cast a new Caped Crusader and Boy Wonder. his is the story of Damian Wayne,” Gunn said. “Batman’s actual son who we didn’t know existed for the first eight to 10 years of his life. He was raised as a little murderer, an assassin. He’s…

Morbius 2 is “possible.”

Further refinement.

Man of Steel isn’t necessarily a bad movie, viewed in a vacuum, it’s just a bad Superman movie.

Snyder said his goal was to do a deconstruction, to start from nothing and build Clark into Superman, which...I get the inclination to take that approach after a near century of stories, and that can work for a lot of…

Fun fact: The overwhelming majority of Extended Star Wars Universe (as it existed pre-Disney, when they made the whole thing infinitely smaller) stories did not feature lightsabers.

Lightsabers are one tiny facet of many, many, many, many, many, many things that make up that universe. We don’t need them in EVERYTHING…

Crazy to think that the company that’s been buying up dead (or nearly dead) studios and IP, whose business has primarily been consistently pumping out remasters of PS2-era titles that didn’t sell particularly well the first time around, somehow ain’t doing super hot...

You misunderstand my point. Had Gorr just crossed paths with Thor, and Thor wasn’t one of his targets, Gorr would/could have been seen as an anti-hero rather than an out-and-out villain.

My biggest problem with Love & Thunder, over all its other issues (like the terrible pacing), is how it treats both Jane and Gorr.

Gorr is a “bad guy” in the comics...but he’s also totally and completely right and, from a certain point of view, completely justified in his actions. The Gods are cruel, and selfish, and…

Troll or real, they can get fucked either way!

I think it was always assumed they’d go straight to TLoU2, the theory is that it’ll be expanded quite a bit and split into multiple seasons.

I ain’t your brother in anything. Fuck off, Nazi.

I’m about the easiest possible mark for anything Marvel, and will defend most of the accepted “worst” of the MCU, but Love & Thunder is one of two MCU movies I think is genuinely, legitimately bad (the other being Captain Marvel).

With a character like Spidey, who has been around for over half a decade, who has had multiple ongoing series’ (often multiple series’ running concurrently for years on end), and guest starring in other books...with movies, and video game, and animated shows, and novels, etc., etc., etc., it’s safe to assume that…

And, important to note, he has always been a piece of shit. No one really knew how big of a piece of shit he was, but he’s never hidden (and often reveled in) the fact that he was a terrible person, and for some reason people largely just chalked it up to him playing the part of the villain, rather than actually being…

I’m not a big collectibles person, for the most part, but I had to have a Cap shield.

This kind of bullshit is why I largely stopped reading comics.

I get it, how many new stories can you really tell with a character that’s been in thousands over the course of only a decade (like Kamala), much less ones that have been around for multiple decades or damn near a century?

This isn’t specific to Marvel,…
