Sigh. This is the most pedantic conversation I’ve had on Kinja. I apologize for any confusion. I stand by what I said, and my clarification was an attempt to elucidate the intent of my original post by eliding the comma splice.

Seriously, you remember the poster to a movie from 2006? I get it, y’all, X3 sucked and no one on this site has high hopes for Dark Phoenix. But it’s 2019. If the target demographic for this movie includes a significant number of people aged 18-24, which it definitely does, these potential moviegoers were 5-11 years

‘Don’t remember and/or haven’t seen the POSTER’ will cover most moviegoers for any given franchise of average popularity. X3 wasn’t Titanic.

Well, I enjoyed the trailer and hope to enjoy the film! Great costumes and I have a soft spot for “heroes turning really dark” stories especially when possessed. Let the melodrama flow!

Because most of us don’t remember or haven’t seen X3, so this poster looks fine? I love the X-Men, so this is all rather exciting for me. Fingers crossed.

God, I love special effects. Shows you what you can really do with the judicious and well-considered use of CGI.

Same - it helps that I knew next to nothing about the characters, allowing the show to develop their own vision unhindered in my mind.

Alas, it’s on Netflix for international distribution only - and on delay from first release on DC Unlimited in the States. Mind you, if DC Unlimited was available internationally, I’d have signed up.

I was leery of all the “one-off” characters added to Titans, like back up issues to a main series, but Hawk and Dove just clicked. It shouldn’t work! But it does!

Titans had no right to be as good as it was. Finally watched the whole series on Netflix and it was great. They made some unusual decisions, and, yes, the “grim n’ gritty” tone was jarring at times, but it was moody, elegant, well-scored, well-acted, and with fun twists.

It was a good arc, and comics are nothing if not eager to re-purpose old material. They could do worse.

That’s some...solid story right there. I like it!

Good for her.

You know, I actually really liked Frozen. So, fingers crossed?

OoOoOo, GIF upgrade!

Man, that game was so SAD and so GOOD!

It’s the last line that seals the deal. Nice work.

This movie will probably be ‘good’ - charming and heartwarming - but the more I see of “Key and Peele are irreverent stuffed animals” the more I want to set them on fire.

Poison Ivy!

I think it’s died a few times and been brought back to life. The showrunners have made a deal with the devil.
