Some day (I dream) HBO will do a proper WWZ mini series. But I actually really like the WWZ movie even if it’s not a good adaptation of the book.

I’d argue that most people over age 30 remember the 2005 film as being a big hit starring Pitt and Jolie. I’m not sure really how one could argue that they didn’t reuse the existing IP for that reason. The name alone practically guarantees a built-in audience. See also: Charlie’s Angels, The Man From U.N.C.L.E.,…

Same reason the World War Z movie has almost nothing in common with the World War Z book, name recognition. 

The cat one? 100%.

But it’s 206 minutes long, so at least you’re getting your money’s worth.

He’s the kind of guy who uses the wrong there/their/they’re in his social media posts, which isn’t exactly a marker of someone’s stupidity, but the “dolt” comment probably isn’t completely unwarranted. I’m also a fan of any vaccine awareness campaigns but it should be noted Pfizer reportedly paid him $20 million for…

I think Alien and Predator still have promise and more to explore (see ‘Prey’) but it’s the execution that is usually lacking.

No normal person cared about Thanos when he was just an end-credits villain, but when he showed up in Infinity War people cared. Kang has already showed up as the baddie in a movie and he was boring.

For All Mankind (Seasons 1 and 2 only*) is the best show that no one watches. 

I love your alternate ending. Very similar to the great ending to Ex Machina. Plus your ending would have left an opening for a sequel if the movie did well (it did not.)

Exactly, and that brings me back to my original point from my first post in this thread that “the television shows have become too much to keep up with” is a poor argument. If you’re an MCU fan, then watching a total of twelve episodes of Loki and Secret Invasion, the only MCU shows to come out this year, is pretty…

Touché. But I still think there’s a difference between having to see everything to understand and just thinking you have to see everything to understand. 

Exactly, the interconnectedness is a feature for fans. Just like with anything else, the more you put into something the more you’ll get out of it. I still get goosebumps when I see a video on Instagram from inside the theater during Endgame when Cap grabs Thor’s hammer and the audience goes nuts and I get to remember…

Isn’t that exactly what the Pattinson Batman movie was? He spent the whole movie playing detective (who strangely never actually solved anything or thwarted any part of the villain’s plan) and the villain was just trying to flood Gotham. I actually really liked The Batman since it was so much more grounded in reality…

I agree with everything you said, but how much does a casual viewer actually even care about missing something? If a casual viewer wants to go see Multiverse of Madness because of all the CGI multiverse weirdness and standard MCU quips and Benedict Cumberbatch are they perfectly happy just accepting that Wanda is a…

I’m incredibly bored watching characters shoot energy beams. I miss the early days when Iron Man’s suit had to make power compromises and fired rockets. I get that Marvel feels like they have to keep upping the stakes, but you’re right, all the universe destroying stuff somehow just feels so inconsequential.

The “the television shows have become too much to keep up with” argument is kind of BS though isn’t it? Marvel puts out like 20 total TV episodes a year. If you’re interested then watch. If you don’t watch then you’ll maybe miss a few Easter eggs in whatever MCU movie you see next.

The YouTube “Pitch Meeting” video for Army of the Dead is a great watch. That movie was bafflingly awful.

No one wants this

Gosling in dopey-charm mode is pretty much unstoppable.
