It’s weird because, on paper, if you enjoyed Ragnarok you should enjoy Love and Thunder as well, and yet...

I disagree. The live-action remakes were never fun.

I can see the process of going out and hiring an actor to take on Kang being a speedbump in itself, but you’re saying that there would also need to be a bunch of re-writes to explain why he looks different, and we’re saying those re-writes aren’t really necessary. Kang’s played by a different actor, that’s it. You…

“Scorsese probably doesn’t care to get involved”

Eh, that’s barely a speedbump. I don’t know why people act like re-casting a character will induce some sort of existential crisis in audiences, but it’s not like they were burning down theaters when Rhodey looked different in Iron Man 2.

The told a nice, satisfying, complete story with a bunch of characters people love...and then, instead of doing the smart thing and giving all of us a fucking break, they just kept powering on with more movies and a bunch of new TV series because Disney had just launched a new streaming service and they needed to…

Regarding Dickinson, a couple of questions:

Exactly. It’s not that I *expected* that feature, more that that’s what would convince me to shell out 2/3rds of a Switch for the thing.

I’m a millennial, so I was keyed into the postmodern anti-humor Garfield revival—Garfield Minus Garfield, Garfield Randomizer, Lasagna Cat, etc. It was kind of funny for a while there in 2007.

The kvetching about Chris Pratt doing...anything has long since become more annoying than the man himself. Yes, it sucks that celebrities have crowded out voice actors for cartoon voice roles, but that’s a battle we lost way back in the mid 90s. And in this case the previous actors Pratt is replacing are a fellow…

“Using Portal also won’t “free up” the console so one person can play on TV while the other plays on handheld.”

It may not be totally absurd for an actor to visualize themselves in a role like that, but in 2020 when that book came out Zegler basically didn’t have a movie career yet. She had filmed her role in Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story, but that movie wouldn’t come out for a few years, so she was calling her shot well in…

...Is Carrie Coon known for being particularly funny? I mean, it’s not that she’s not funny, but she’s generally considered to be a dramatic actor, right?

Hmm, no, I’d like you to be more explicit about why you’re upset that they gave a Black woman a superhero movie to direct.

Man, I’m really racking my brain trying to figure out why Disney would want go after the audience that shelled out $1.4 billion to see the Barbie movie. That’s a real mystery.

I mean, that’s the problem with, like, 90% of all Marvel movies. 

According to a review I read, flashbacks in the movie discuss a Kree civil war in the wake of Danvers’ actions in Captain Marvel. That seems like an interesting event to follow, one that flows naturally from the first film. So why aren’t we just getting that, instead of three heroes (two of whom have less audience…

Since Marvel is trying to reach a very broad audience, the difference between a character 5 percent of the public may know (like Korvac) and a character 0.1 percent of the public may know (like Dar-Benn) may not really be a distinction they care about.

Both Ross's and Ross' are acceptable, though I prefer the former.
