Eh, Villenueve’s version left out too many important story elements for my taste. Lynch hit all the important beats and made a much more interesting movie, both visually and story wise.

I guess that means he didn’t actually work on the 5 hour director’s cut?

That’s too many commercials for me.  I grew up in the ‘80s and ‘90s, half hour length commercials like He-Man and Transformers have left me with an extreme aversion to advertising.

That’s crazy!

No, there’s definitely a difference between inclusion/diversity and ham handed pandering.

Lynch’s Dune captures the utter weirdness of a society 10k years in the future. And it’s not boring.

The article is whiny and there are a lot of people whining in the comments. Like, this dude down here just called me a prick, what the fuck?

Hey fuck you, there’s no reason to call me a prick.

I like the idea that Asians are all one people and you are gonna be the one to save them from the racism of a friggen Marvel TV show.

IDK hear me out here:  Asians don’t need you to defend them.

lol ‘comic book virgins’, apparently it’s the ‘80s again and I’m a big fat virgin nerd for having read comic books 30 years ago when I was a kid. Only some kind of horrible nerd would be able to remember things like that, regular people don’t have oversized crazybrains and can only remember one or maybe 2 characters…

And yet these are comic book movies about comic book characters with stories told in comic book style.  If you haven’t figured that out by this point I’m not sure what to tell you.

That’s true!

Yeah, but you have no idea what this movie will be about or what context they will be presented in, so whining about it at this point is dumb.

Exactly.

There were literally almost 40 characters in Endgame and everyone holds it up as the high water mark of the MCU. I don’t think Infinity War had too many characters either. Then again I grew up loving stuff like Secret Wars, I have the original Infinity Gauntlet run and DC’s Invasion comics up on my wall, so maybe I’m…

I mean it’s just a movie, don’t see it if you think that’s overwhelming. 

I think there were dozens of characters in Endgame and everyone seems to think that’s the gold standard, so no, I think it’s ok.

I liked Iron Fist actually. A lot of people weren’t looking for a story about a kid with horrible PTSD returning from years of being tortured in captivity only to find out that the one person he thought he could trust was the person who betrayed him, but I found it to be an interesting take.
