They were good in that. I worked on Lost with Monaghan. He didn’t seem to like fame, he always looked fidgety in public places,  people were always looking at him.

well fuck dude, you sold me. Let’s divert more money to the military.

All of that money was spent on people developing this who then in turn paid mortgages, fed their families, and spent without our economy. The money doesn’t just vanish.

Charles is really one of the best writers on any of these GMG sites. Even when I disagree with him, he always presents his points clearly and thoughtfully.

I’m pretty sure 90% of the reason is so the US Government doesn’t pick some other murder hobo pretender like John Walker to be the next Captain America.

It’s TRON!

You see advanced alien race, I see 80s music video

I think it’s interesting that people keep saying “it looks good but maybe not as good as Spider-Verse” when it’s looks a LOT more similar to Lord & Miller’s Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Which, like, I’ll agree wasn’t Spider-Verse levels of good, but was still very good and entertaining.

Wait, didn’t we start this with a Point Break remake?

That would be the greatest ending to the saga imaginable. The whole things zooms out and it’s Michael Bay (just for the zeitgeisty metaness of it) smashing Hot Wheels cars together going “BOOM! SMASH! HAHAH!” in the greatest cameo of all time.

I prefer the idea that these movies are a boy playing with his Hot Wheels and imagining it’s real.

100% this. I just have two requests for the next movie. 1) an even longer runway scene. And 2) an even higher number of scantily clad gorgeous women hanging around not such great looking guys because they have ridiculous looking cars.

I feel like they should have included the scene in every movie where someone turns to the camera and says “Wait, didn’t we start out stealing VCRs?”.  (Or am I just assuming that should be in all of these movies?)  (Because, seriously... didn’t they start out stealing VCRs?)

It is the absolute worst franchise that I will gladly pay to see on opening night no matter how terrible the movie actually is. It could be 3 hours of Vin Diesel repeatedly saying “I don’t have friends, I have family” while tuning the carb on an old Charger and I still wouldn’t complain.

I blame this scene on the Fast & the Furious franchise.

We’ll get a Squirrel Girl movie before we get a real Green Lantern movie.

I think it’s been more pronounced post-Feige-vs.-Perlmutter power struggle; since then, Marvel Studios seems a lot more willing to find auteurs and give them leeway to personally imprint the movie. The best thing about “Thor: Ragnarok” is that for all the MCU beats the story/action has to hit, it still feels very much…

I am not excited but I am willing to have my mind changed.

Gotta say, yeah, Marvel definitely has an eye for talent. I mean, Branagh? Coogler? Gunn? Heck, I’ll even give them credit for Wright, even though that didn’t pan out. Yeah, sometimes the artistic direction gets pressed into the Signature Marvel Style, but you can’t say they’re not swinging for the fences.

She’s the biggest reason I’m excited for Eternals.
