I've heard that the script for this has "This is a fable…. remember those?" on the cover.

Numerical sequels as the standard only really date back to The Godfather Part 2, though.

You're gonna need a bigger pokeball.

People misunderstand that. He just wore a scarf really well.

Apparently, it's 'anatopism'.

The bit in the fight where he extends a huge, nasty-looking branch suggests that he's not going to be *pure* cuteness.

HULK SNEEZE!

I think this dragon's going to end up overprepared.

Isn't using three-dollar bills for everything inconvenient?

My local supermarket has recently introduced a "Scan and Go" system, which is a lot like this without the how-does-it-work creepiness — you carry a hand scanner round the store and scan your shopping as you bag it up. It may cost jobs, or it may just take work away from hard-working self-scanning checkouts, I don't…

Look at the Suicide Squad trailer that used Bohemian Rhapsody as if it were a deep cut, for example.

Let's not forget Gamora's "No thanks, I'm good" headshake when invited to join in.

This one wouldn't mind it as an easter egg at some point in the movie, but this one thinks it could get annoying all the way through.

"Classic elephant power with the agile kicks and spins…"

It's called not taking your work home with you.

"Rudolph the red-eyed reindeer…."

Hokkaido really is the part of Japan where deer meat is most likely to be eaten.

I feel like I might be rather more interested if I heard what the hook for this one's supposed to be, rather than just multiple iterations of "We're going to make Avatar 2".

I think some of it is that Avatar feels like quite a self-contained, finished story. Most of the SF/Fantasy stories that develop a fanbase guve audiences a much stronger sense that there's a bigger world out there (Star Wars opening with 'Episode IV' could be seen as the distillation of that).

I think the film Thor is also crossed with the comics' version of Hercules, who always did more of the fish-out-of-water stuff.
