I think they were going for “casual Mandalorian fan.”

It would be hilarious if in each season of Mando something big happens towards the end, and the show is always reset to status quo in some other show (e.g. in the Ahsoka show). A sort of meta sitcom (sitdram?) structure where the narrative always resets across seasons.

Here’s the thing, Jedis are stupid.

The weird thing about Luke in Book of Boba Fett was he was still pushing the whole thing about how Jedis can't have personal connections, even though personal connections being important to him basically saved the day in both Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

I am old, and I have watched a lot of TV. The choice to turn the last three episodes of BOB into a fully different (even if related) series is still the weirdest TV related decision I have ever seen. I am still fascinated by it. The creative team must have REALLY hated the initial output from BOB as they were shooting…

I don’t disagree with that awkward narrative roadblock established by the sequels, but at the same time, Baby Yoda was never, ever going to be gone from “Mandalorian” for long. That puppet is a golden goose for Disney+. I just didn’t think he’d somehow make it back before the new season even started.

There’s been a lot…

Luke being a horrible teacher is a holdover from the old EU and, honestly, I kind of like it.  How would he know how to be a good Jedi when he had like 2 weeks of lessons?  He’d have no idea how to properly teach kids how to handle that kind of power.  Thus, you’re always gonna get a Kyp/Ben character from Luke being…

“Fast forward to 1982...”: also keep in mind that Montalban was the star of one of the hottest shows on television (Fantasy Island) and a popular advertising spokesman (most famously for Chrysler and their “rich Corinthian leather” interiors). He was arguably the biggest name attached to Wrath of Khan.

There’s also the point that once he had it, Montalban totally killed in the role.

Beyond was pretty good, but they misstepped big time by burying Idris Elba under 50 pounds of prosthetics. Dumb Khan reveal or not, Into Darkness made a ton of money because Cumberbatch did a great “villain Sherlock” performance that the trailers could utilize.

There’s so much awful in that film. The two worst that stand out to me is the Enterprise falling out of orbit from the Moon to crash into the Earth because the engines turn off in the space of about four minutes, and taking one of the most iconic and moving scenes in all of Trek (Spock’s death), and doing a role-revers…

And if you wanted Cumberbatch - who was a hot enough commodity then to put non-Star Trek fan butts in seats - just make him not Khan. You could reference Khan. You could make him one of Khan’s followers. There are SO MANY ways it could have worked.

The whole trying to keep Khan a surprise twist was ridiculous. Cumberbatch is great, but Khan shouldn’t be a British white guy, Naveen Andrews would have killed that role. It’s an iconic, juicy villain role that actually calls for an Indian actor, and they get the whitest man on the planet to play him, still salty…

my buddy who worked on wonder woman said that the studio basically asked the vfx house who the third act bad guy could be and they essentially shrugged and said ‘we’ve got a fire guy who’s mostly done’. and that’s why the bad guy is a weird fire guy.

OP said it looked like a cw show with a bigger vfx budget and you’re saying it looks ‘extremely watchable by comparison’ to a cw show...i think you’re saying the same thing.

I’m a senior vfx artist who has worked on 6 Marvel films across 3 different vfx studios. None of those 6 films contain my best work and most of them I don’t even include on my showreel because I’m not proud of the work I did in them. Marvel is a notoriously difficult client to work with and, in my experience, the lack…

Most of her EGOT awards came from her original score to The Berenstein Bears Movie

The effects on Riverdale have never been that bad, TBH. But I’ll die on a hill defending Riverdale because something is wrong with me.

Interesting. I haven’t seen Ant Man 3 yet but I thought Black Panther 2 looked terrible. Really dark and boring, which was a shame after the bright colours of the first one. So if that was the one with all the resource spent on it.... yikes.

The movie looked fine. Even the screen grab above that’s constantly been shit on since the trailer came out didn’t look near as bad in the theaters for all the shit it got on the internet the last couple of months. People just need to stop being jaded assholes all the time and enjoy things
