i wasn’t comparing cosplay to movie costumes, as i said that’s a separate discussion altogether. i was using cosplay contests to make the point that even within the realm of “comic-accurate” costumes, there are varying levels of quality, which is true for both cosplay and movie costumes. i just brought up cosplay…

also, part of the awe of superheroes IMO is the superhero costume. at least as a kid, a cool costume is what sparked my interest when browsing the comic aisle. in general, a superhero who is wearing normal looking clothes is doing it wrong. it’s up to the filmmaker to craft a world where the costume doesn’t look so…

very true. textures and patterns are a great design choice for superhero costumes. i just wish they’d try something new and unique instead of doing the same dark red and scaly texture over and over again - especially when they have different origins in-movie. the MCU costume department is like a band that had a really…

my point of bringing up cosplay contests was a response to OP saying only that MCU costumes were “comic-accurate” which isn’t a sole signifier of quality. cosplay contests feature multiple “comic-accurate” looks, but there’s still tons of room for detailed design decisions, from textures, to accessory variation, to…

they’re comic-accurate to a degree, but not 1 for 1. you can have a whole convention full of cosplay contests featuring comic accurate costumes, and there will still be winners and losers. it’s about the execution and implantation of certain choices. the MCU costumes of late feature design choices that i’m not a fan…

MCU suits have gotten rather boring IMO. they’re all made of the same material and have a similar texture pattern. the Eternals were all bland, Shang-Chi looked like a waiter, White-Vision was a little offputting, Scarlet Witch has an interesting headpiece, but rest is pretty generic, Falcon-Cap looks like he’s…

maybe she’ll meet a nice guy who is otherwise a wonderful standup dude, but was unfortunately born with the worst BO that he can do nothing about, and his whole life he’s been worried that he may never find love.

You can’t make every sequel a retreat of the original, ala Force Awakens. Give credit for trying something new.

my biggest pet peeve is waiting in line at Starbucks for several minutes, then having the person in front me approach the counter and THEN look at the menu and contemplate what to order. like bitch, what have you been doing the past 5 minutes while we’ve been waiting in line?!

the Eternals could have benefitted from being a series rather than a movie. it would have had time to dedicate whole episodes to various characters in different eras, then see them all team up in the end.

the hierarchy of edginess in the dc universe is about to change

Homecoming was 133 minutes and FFH was 129 minutes, so it’s not like the Spidey movies have been necessarily sitting in the sub-90 minute range and then suddenly making some drastic jump. as PG-13 movies that have been over 2 hours, it sounded like you were complaining that it’s no longer something that it never…

both Spider-Man Homecoming and Spider-Man Far From Home are rated PG-13. YMMV on how kid-friendly that’s supposed to be, but i hope you’re not suggesting that they make concessions to make these movies appeal to even younger audiences. that’s how we end up with Ewoks and Jar Jars. 

so there’s no point in holding out for an X-Men movie until we’ve done solo films first?

people who want to get out of the house?

the unique thing about many Spider-Man villains is that they can be portrayed as well-intentioned guys who go overboard (a lot of mad scientists just trying to cure themselves/loved ones). and it’s their conflict with a morally centered Spider-Man that highlights just how far-gone they’ve become. by taking away…

or the alternative where some normal person (audience surrogate) has to team up with Mario, who doesn’t speak much.

Disney exec: so you’re saying we should get Chris Pratt to do Mickey? and Margot Robbie as Minnie? i think we’re on to something!
