Yeah, I can echo what you’re saying. I felt the same way walking out of the theater. My impressions basically came down to:

I seriously doubt the writers and the Russo Bros would go the “it was all a dream, never happened” route. Obviously, we know most of them will return from wherever they went to, but it will be all about how it permanently affects the characters.

One thing is certain. The Russo Bros and the writers did a pretty epic job of leaving the audience with a ton of questions to ponder for Avengers 4.

We’ll see a baby Gamora join the team, like Baby Groot, in Vol. 3. Followed up with a Saturday morning Guardian Kids of the Galaxy anime-inspired cartoon series.

This is a blessing in disguise. Marvel and Disney will probably come up with better creative labels anyway. To which I hope they also do the same with “Star Wars Land”. That name makes me want to vomit.

Everyone in NYC: “Goddamit, another alien invasion? Why can’t they attack Utah instead???”

They are going to squeeze everything they can out of XV. It’s unusual, but it is kind of interesting to watch them treat it like an MMO in terms of updates and see how it goes. I would probably prefer this approach than cranking out XV-2, XV-3, etc.

They could try something like having the game keep a statistic(s) on what the player’s most played/least played characters/roles are, and then figure out some kind of algorithm that queues and combines people together based on those stats. The tendency for players switching in-game wouldn’t be entirely resolved, but…

That hallway fight felt pointless to me as I was watching it. I guess it’s one of those things that you think you want to see but really shouldn’t, because the implied threat has a greater impact on the audience’s imagination than seeing it play out. For those who are familiar comparing the special editions to the…

So TFA invests some time into building a mystery of who Rey’s parents are, only to be brushed away in the next filmas only “oh, that was nothing. Ignore it.”?

I still don’t understand why they felt the need to add the Rose character. If Poe had gone with Finn to the casino instead, it would’ve elevated that sideplot to a whole nother level. They could have even pushed it out further by having Rose’s sister be Poe’s sister instead, with all the ramifications from Poe’s point…

Thank you, I’m glad that I wasn’t the only one thinking this. My expectation going into TLJ was to see the relationship between the three main characters of Rey, Finn, and Poe expanded upon, as well as Kylo’s arc. I didn’t care in what combination, as long as by the time the movie was finished that there was a…

Let me drop this gratuitous note of revelation for those who might not realize it yet. Whenever you see a business decision being made that does not make logical sense, it will usually be financially motivated.

Instead of going to the trouble of promoting a couple of videos by some rando YouTuber with a lot of time on his hands, which although probably great as a refresher course so that his character doesn’t continue to get skewered by idiotic writers and artists, go interview guys like Dennis O’Neil and Paul Dini, who…

Problem with the streaming community is there are no training classes, regulations, nor requirements in order to become one. Case in point: The latest ahole covered in this article.

Yeah, the CGI quality was great, but still there were a lot of moments where the imagination fell short, a lot of “hasn’t this sci-fi idea been already used and/or worn into the ground? Show me something new” moments.

Sidenote: Comic book artists should be required to have graduated from fashion design school before being hired to draw comics. Man.

Consumer gaming: Unproductive entertainment.

Wouldn’t it be an ironic kicker if, because of the events in Civil War, that everyone has to resort to wearing masks and changing their identities? Winter Soldier will be White Wolf, Black Widow is now Blonde Widow, Clint Ronin. Wanda TBD.

That’s my theory as well. After breaking out of imprisonment in Civil War, there must have been some consideration to the effect of:
