That would have been a better plot by far.  Not introducing Black Adam in a Shazam movie was a huge mistake...well really, hiring The Rock to play BA was a mistake because he’d never be in a move where he’d take the fall, especially from Zack Levi. 

Ragnarok was extremely fun; probably the most entertaining Marvel movie in that respect. I think Waititi knew what he was doing. Maybe his style seemed inconsistent because we’re used to tighter scripts. Humor gets to be a little wild and unpredictable. And, c’mon, Hela is actually quite terrifying and Surtur’s…

Shazam 2 should’ve honestly been the introduction to Black Adam, with the Wizard having sealed him somewhere far from his kingdom. Even if his freedom was an accident that Helen Mirren’s character couldn’t account for, it would’ve at least provided a better focus than the... shenanigans we got. The Black Adam movie…

I didn’t hate 65.

Id prefer he be in an accident that leaves him completely paralyzed.  Let him suffer out his last few years unable to enjoy his ill gotten gains.

We dont make the uber rich face consequences.  Think of how musk has acted to the SEC.....any of us would have been jailed by now.  Or Trump.  If you or I behaved as he has, we would be in prison serving multiple sentences.  We dont make the uber rich face the same justice.  They get rich person rules.

Marvels was great. Much more fun and decidedly less convoluted than Captain Marvel. Khamala Khan is a lightning bolt of charisma. There were laugh-out-loud funny scenes, musical numbers, and a villain that actually had legitimate beef. I can’t understand the pillorying it’s getting. My thought after watching it was,…

I read that Helen Mirren said she had no idea what her character in Shazam was supposed to be doing.  After watching the movie, I can see why she was confused.

Why are all of these slideshows now? Surely it’s possible to fit everything on 1 (maybe 2) long, scrollable pages?

After the drubbing that Haunted Mansion received here and elsewhere, I thought we were in for a disaster when the kids wanted to watch it. It turned out to be much better crafted than I’d expected it would be, and I was glad LaKeith Stanfield didn’t just phone it in for a paycheck. Could it have used another pass…

The Ant-Man one is confusing to me - not because I have any interest in the movie, but because of the phrase “adding fuel to the fire of superhero fatigue.” Fire seems like an inapt metaphor for fatigue. How does a person fuel fatigue? How does fatigue burn or illuminate?

Exactly. Movies like The Flash and Rebel Moon aren’t disappointments because nobody actually expected them to be any good.

Mustn’t one have expectations in order to be disappointed?

To be fair that’s exactly how I read it. My mind just did the translation work

To be fair those “Greatest places to work” surveys are always pretty sus. A lot of the companies on that list(and Microsoft) are huge companies that employee people in many diverse areas. And those different areas can manage people completely differently and basically feel like completely different companies. Like…

Exactly, I am pretty sure they carved up and sold the IP from Sierra years ago so they only own the name. It’s sad because Sierra was such a part of my youth.  I wonder what a modern lovingly made Space Quest game would look like in 2023  

God speed Bobby.

Man I haven’t thought about Hexen for years. That really takes me back to the era where we’d rent just about every N64 game that came out because there were so few of them. 

“Thank you, Microsoft, for feeding my ego with a massive fortune one last time. Please enjoy cleaning up 32 years of shit I was hiding in the closets as the suckers who thought they were my friends lawyer up and start suing each other.”

I mean, technically they own the corpse of the company that published it.
