What’s the mystery? There’s a movie out that is based entirely on a film trope and the article examines the trope in the context of a few film examples and a “reality TV” show. Seems pretty straightforward to me.

The villain of Multitask of Badness doesn’t really make sense if you don’t know her motivations, which were established on her TV show. (And then resolved on the TV show. And then brought back for the movie because it was written by someone who clearly didn’t watch the fucking TV show and directed by a wonderful…
Sabretooth isn’t even guaranteed an appearance. Whereas there’s no way they make an X movie without Wolverine. And since I want Keeso to be even more well known and connected than he is currently, I prefer to see him as Wolvie.
Fair.
It would be rude to ask you to replay that conversation, which I’m sure is multifaceted and complicated, so I won’t. Is there a link or site you would recommend? I’m very curious.
Or Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Mehness. Or Deadpool and Wolverine. Or the Spiderman movie featuring all the other Spidermen.
I’m sorry, how is it fucking “lazy” to expect the audience to engage in narratives outside the one you’re presenting but NOT “lazy” to rely on those narratives for your story to work? Who is actually being “lazy” here?
Do you know the meaning of the words “based on”? And that they don’t mean “1:1 recreation”?
Cool. You know different mediums exist because of their strengths and weaknesses, right?
You’re spare parts, aren’t ya bud? Radcliffe isn’t even Canadian. Jared Keeso is obviously the answer. I’ll have a tilly at anyone chirping otherwise. Figger it out.
I would point you to Suspiria but I’d rather not have any more pointless arguments with internet dipshits about that very good film.
They missed the wordplay boat by casting Johnson in this instead of Alexandra Daddario.
Her name is the only reason I have to see this. The director is not known to me and I have come to loathe Penn in his pretentious self-centered fuckery.
Ehhhhhh..... I mean, if staff writer Alex O’Keefe’s statements are anything to go by, you *don’t* have to treat writers reasonably fairly.
It’s just as “real” for them to never hook up because real conventionally attractive human beings don’t hook up all the fucking time. It’s how most workplaces operate. People who would be considered fuckable consistently NOT going to Pound Town just because they’re fuckable.
You have an entirely fair criticism. I had a lot of problems with the whole Claire storyline. I thought it had potential initially but over time it just felt like spinning wheels. And the resolution was a giant spinning wheel.
The needless distraction of the Claire storyline disagrees.
I’m not saying that Hollywood doesn’t have this problem. But 9 times out of 10 these execs are responding to what the AUDIENCE reacts to. And as anyone in any pop culture fandom can tell you, it’s not the fucking executives who are going online to endlessly talk about shipping series regulars or movie costars. Yes,…
I wonder if any of it has to do with how they fuck over crew on money. Like if it’s a binge model instead of a weekly, is there any need to keep a writers room for more than a couple of weeks? Can you go hard on production and get two episodes worth of filming done in the span of one standard show episode with the…
Ehhhhhhh.... It just reads like a fairly neutral paraphrasing of what he actually said to me.
