I would guess that he’s referring to The Great Wall. It was a stinker that bombed hard domestically (it did do well overseas including in China as it was made there and was a Chinese production, but overall I think it lost money).

could be anything from ‘stuck on you’ to ‘the great wall’

I don’t think Gunn cares all that much about “canon.”

These are fictional people, so I’m mostly amused, and her origin IS basically this, but describing Hawkgirl purely as “the star-crossed lover of Hawkman” is peak “famous woman’s accomplishments reduced to her relationship to man”, hehehe. Especially post animated Justice League.

I mean, sure, he was in Black Adam, but…

Barsanti is the absolute worst. I defy you to find a worse writer on this site.

If it’s a back-to-basics Superman origin, then it’ll be a pretty weird one

Her being a minor: Why was a minor at a house party? Why was a minor drinking AND looking for cigarettes.

A fair point.  David Tennant is a beloved famous nice guy and he's wearing protect trans kids shirts now.  He's the best.

People tend to forget that Biff Tannen in Back to the Future 2 was a blatant mockery of Trump, and that movie came out in 1989.

Well, that was a take.

When I read “Same with Wonka” my mind auto-filled that to: “He’s big, he’s strong, he has great cardio and a chainsaw, and he’s hungry” and I got really curious what kind of prequel you were envisioning. 

After Hours is my favorite Scorsese movie other than Goodfellas. Did he ever try another movie with anything like the vibe of this? Maybe Bringing out the Dead? That is pretty different though

I think it’s just a famous nice guy who is actually a Republican problem. Nice guys like Bryan Cranston, George Clooney, Paul Rudd, Will Ferrell are all outspokenly political (and have actually thrown punches to protect people in danger) and are considered much nicer than the guys on this list.

This is kind of a problem with some "famous" nice guy celebrities.  Your politically neutral and at a point being neutral on a moving train is itself a statement.  Especially when it concerns a man who, ya know, tried to overthrow the government among an endless stream of awful things.  

Once again it must be said tropes are useless tools for art criticism they merely highlight humans are so in love with pattern matching they’ll find patterns even when the patterns don’t exist.

“Once again something stupid I made up must be said”

Yeah, the whole bit with portals and giant CGI monsters did not feel well-introduced and added just so they could have a big Marvel-style ending. Wasn’t Wenwu’s original reason for going to the village to pillage its martial arts secrets? I think a better ending would have been to just follow that route and have…

There are rich stupid people everywhere. I get some stereo magazine from England and the costs are unreal. 250K for speakers. 20-60K turntables. 5K cables for crying out loud. I’ll stick to my 300$ Technics table.

yes the LP12 is probably one of the best turntables out there but its not worth 60k because Mr Ive made it look like a cheap shit Hitachi. you can pick up a reasonably decent condition LP12 which looks better on ebay for £1000-1500

The simple fact that there is a market for this shows just how bad the wealth divide has gotten. This shouldn’t exist, and anyone even considering buying one needs to be taxed until that consideration seems stupid. Just like with private jets, giant yachts, multi-million dollar birthday parties, etc.
