“Eventually, a permanent host (or multiple, apparently) will take the reigns of the show, with current correspondents already being eyed for the gig.”

It sounds like she thought she had more clout than she did. I lol’d at the petty passive aggressive move of sending her boss a Wikipedia link for character arcs. That’s some god tier narcissism.

I mean no offense to Patty here, but if WW84 was any indication of the direction you wanted to take things, well... I have to say that, for once, I’m siding with the WB brass on this one.

“They have relationships, but they really don’t. They never hang up their spurs because of their kids. The things that really ground us and give us power, love, and a purpose? Those characters don’t experience it, and I think that’s not the way to make movies.”

I think he is vastly underestimating the value of performance when it comes to mo-cap.  Maybe Marvel isn’t the top of the game for CGI effects--I have seen places where they cut corners--but I think Brolin brings such weight and gravity to what could easily have been a ridiculous big bad; I mean, he’s a big purple guy…

Captain America gives up, well, everything to go back in time and actually retire from the superhero life so he can have a normal life. The entire point of the Hawkeye series, as you touched on re: Hawkeye, was getting out of the life to be able to live in peace with his kids. Cameron is just flat out incorrect on…

And the Hulk is now a father too. The Guardians are all about being a family to each other. Even Thanos is given a plotline about his children. It feels like someone didn't really watch these films.

Well, he’s wrong about MCU characters not having families or being motivated by them. Ant-Man is motivated by wanting to be a hero to his daughter; Hawkeye’s main storylines are about protecting or avenging his family; Iron Man retires to start a family with Pepper; Scarlet Witch is driven to villainy trying to regain…

Honestly this site makes TMZ look like Pulitzer Prize winning material. Every second article is a slag fest. You don’t like Avatar? Ok. But I dare anybody to say that they haven’t enjoyed anything he’s done. You’d think he was running the Illuminati with Musk, Zuckerberg and whoever else the AV Club hates but uses…

As you are new to film history, let’s go over some quotes from your Cameron-doubting forebears. “Why make a sequel to Alien? The first one was great!” “A sequel to that robot movie? Who asked for this?” “Who would want to see a movie about a hundred year old boat?”

Would that it were so simple. But no, it’s going to make a lot of money for everyone, because of our culture’s obsession with Unobtanium.

I wouldn’t make that bet, even with your money.

“MY CGI actors that aren’t really there, gazing in wonder at things that are also not really there, are WAY BETTER than THEIR CGI actors that aren’t really there gazing in wonder at things that are also not really there!”

Rita is a really genius take on the “manic pixie dream girl,” where it takes several episodes for anyone to catch on she’s not intentionally acting like a carefree six year old.

Her career survived Reindeer Games.  She’d have been fine.

This is my fault, guys. I wished for Wonder Woman 3 on the magic wishing stone and the wish is going wrong in annoying ways.

In honor of her, I have never watched Aeon Flux.

To be fair, it probably wasn’t a good sign that it got pushed back due to reshoots and a showrunner change before it even premiered. I remember seeing previews for this during the end of the last NFL season, and then when Week 1 came around this year, seeing those exact same previews and wondering “Wait, didn’t they…

Unlike every other superhero movie...
