I’m not letting myself get too hyped about Water Thor, though that could change if Wonder Woman: The First Avenger exceeds my limited expectations.

Quick! What’s your favorite scene in Avatar? What’s the line you’ve (non-ironically) quoted the most from that film in everyday life? What’s your favorite performance in it? I’ve got actual nothing.

Has any recent mega-hit film (the word “recent” used very loosely at this point) aged worse than the first Avatar? Who the hell is waiting around for even one more of these, let alone four?

Not only have I written many articles I wasn’t paid to write, it’s fair to say I owe my career to unpaid internships. But I still believe they’re wrong, discriminatory and should be purged from the media industry.

More Rovell: “Sprinkle your box of work with white powder. Employers will think box contains donuts. Nobody throws away donuts.”

This is good but, honestly, even that much detail is not totally necessary. He’s a mutant mercenary from the future, on a mission which happens to overlap with whatever Deadpool is up to. Done.

Eh, there’s kind of a lot to cover in this movie’s crawl, if you think about it. We don’t know what the aftermath was of the destruction of the Republic capital and/or the Starkiller Base. Does the Republic still exist? What is the First Order doing now? What is the Resistance’s next move? Rey is the only character…

Look, this is a show where an industry is giving EACH OTHER awards.

Sure, but the villain in TDK was Heath Ledger giving one of the most iconic villain performances of all time, whereas Deadpool’s villain was [Googles “Deadpool villain,” despite having seen the film twice] Ed Skrein, being generally a jerk with unclear motivations.

Yeah, I don’t understand this either. It reminds me of when fans were up in arms that Katee Sackhoff didn’t get the part as Captain Marvel over Brie Freakin’ Larson.

I really, really like Deadpool, but outside of technical categories, I don’t think there’s a strong argument for it to be nominated for Oscars. The plot was pretty simplistic - it felt almost like a very, very successful proof-of-concept rather than a fully formed movie - and while I loved the dialogue, I’m not sure…

As others have noted, it seems clear that Snyder either doesn’t like or doesn’t understand Superman. The depiction we get in these movies is mopey to the point of petulance, a Jesus allegory without any substance and frankly somewhat incompetent, or at least indifferent to the death and destruction that he causes.…

Fair enough on the joke, watching too much Sean Spicer may have permanently killed my sense of humor.

The idea that Jeff Bezos is ordering WaPo reporters to tweet nice things about Sean Spicer’s press conference in exchange for favorable drone regulations is barely a step removed from a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory.

That’s fair, I don’t know if it’s his fault or not, or to what degree. Everyone in the movie is a victim of the script, for sure, and also the way the DCCU has chosen to characterize these heroes in general.

Yoda: “Only two Sith there are, no more, no less.”

Ha. Yeah, kinda.

I like the idea of a neutral Force user. Never totally understood why “bring balance to the Force” made sense as a goal, especially since in practice it always seemed to mean “destroy the evil side completely.”

Oddly, the previous entry with a title most similar to this one is The Phantom Menace. I reserve the right to use this entirely superficial connection as a pass to keep my “Snoke is an evil, disfigured future Jar Jar” theory on life support. Or, in the bacta tank, as it were.
