True. Like a 51 year old who secretly finds joy in playing with action figures but feels compelled to make it sound more mature by calling them "collectibles" and posing them in "dramatic vignettes"

The thing with X-men is that a lot of it comes down to organizations, so you get Magneto (and everyone who hangs out with him), everyone ever involved with the Sentinels, Apocalypse and his several dozen horsemen at this point, all the members of the Hellfire Club, the Brood, the Phalanx, etc. And this is before you

Are we just talking individual supers here? Because I'd think the X-men rogues might make the cut. Maybe even FF4's (although most of that's from having Doom, Galactus, and about half a dozen of the big cosmic foes in the gallery; kinda gives you a pass for also having Mole Man in there)

Oo, that's a bingo!

You're not fooling anyone Mr. Snyder

I might actually have a smidgen more respect for this movie if they tease it for months and not even do it.

Like Snyder actually lets anyone in his cast "act". That would interfere with the five dozen slow motion shots he needs

If you see TWO putty fight movies this year, maybe just watch Power Rangers again?

I was going to make a quip of his aesthetic and sense of human conversation being stunted when he saw the Matrix as a teenager, but he's fucking 51. How does someone that old still write and film like he's an 8 year old playing with action figures?

If it's an easier sell in the dark, then I'm guessing that Cyborg CGI is a super hard sell

Because that headline is dumb, I'm gonna focus on the trailers-for-the-trailer-for-the-movie instead:

The cast members who make up RiffTrax have a really nasty prejudice underlying a bit too many of their jokes. Which stinks because a solid 80% of their material is usually still great (even if it fits in more of the mean streak of mst3k rather than the goofy fun it had pretty much all the way up until the last season

Eh. Logan was fine, haven't seen Deadpool because I've always been annoyed by the character and his fandom, and of the remaining X-films, they have their moments, but they range just as much as the MCU in terms of how blandly blockbuster they are. It just feels like there are more bland MCU movies because there are

It feels like some middle manager told a graphic designer to make it like the first Avengers poster, but not exactly like it, but like it. And also, add color because people are complaining, but not too much color because they want to be taken seriously, but add color though.

…is this Hole…

Some friends of mine about ten years younger than me all find the show tedious or annoying. Which is not surprising because (a) a lot of the cultural references in are really, really dated and (b) they think shows like Parks & Rec are the pinnacle of comedy. Humor can be hugely generational (hence why they pushed for

Were you able to get it back?

In principle, I like this design the most. Metallic skin and clearly but somehow ambiguously human features in the machinery? That's a fantastic idea.

Really interested in seeing how they handle the Mondas Cybermen. I like the idea in principle, but in execution, I can't see it being anything but hokey
