Nobody ever remembers Together Forever, but everyone knows Together Forever.

He stars in a movie where he's horrifically disfigured, but his charisma still seems to shine through...

I like the switcheroo. He spent the whole first movie trying to be an Avenger, and now he’s just trying to be a kid again. It’s a very Spider-Man dilemma.

Yeah, Video Game movies can be some of the strangest movies ever. Double Dragon is another so-strange-it’s-almost-good adaptation. Right now I see Video Game movies as being where Comic Book movies were about 25 years ago. They’re trying, but they keep either shoehorning the video game into a blockbuster movie

You have to have been in grade school when the prequels came out. Those fans (in their mid-20s now) do exist.

To be fair, every joke in a movie trailer ever is always the most painfully unfunny one. Except in the rare case it isn’t, and then you’ll hear it aped over and over until the movie comes out and it won’t be funny anymore.

Not sure how to feel about this. On the one hand, that design really was less than ideal, and we’re in an unprecedented era of creator/audience feedback, which is pretty cool. On the other hand, it’s kind of like seeing a frazzled parent finally cave in at the demands of their crying child, saying, “FINE! I’ll get you

Wait. They replaced “Totally expected from a racial slur” with “Come at me when you can actually drive without running cars off the road?” Uh, so uh... what racial slur were you thinking of, Microsoft?

Counter point: If this were the beginning of a new era, someone other than Marvel Studios should have pulled it off by now. Successfully.

Tina runs exactly like a 4 year old. 

I also came here to heap praise on the credits scene. I love how they’re able to capture so much astonishment and joy with the simple limitations of Bob’s Burgers’ animation. I also love that they’ve kept this narrative thread with Bob having been previously dragged to Cake and then obsessed with Cake. It’s one of my

Glad you mentioned Frigga because that scene highlighted something to me. Most MCU heroes are created through some combination of awesome mom and failure dad. 

I just need to say that by the ending my emotional nerve endings were so raw, I was completely unable to withstand the image of Steve and Peggy finally getting that dance. I’m sure there were names in the credits, but all I saw were blurry white blobs.

The scene for me was the montage of Captain Marvel getting knocked down, followed by that beautiful montage of her getting back up. Not ashamed to say it moved me to tears.

Gamora also never gets the credit she deserves. Or Valkyrie. Or half the cast of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. They may not get top billing, but there are a lot of strong ladies in the MCU.

I’d definitely buy tickets for those. Portman was never the problem with Thor (or Star Wars prequels). The problem is having Natalie Portman and not giving her anything to DO.

To be clear, I’m totally in favor of keeping Song of the South from children. (Although I actually saw it as a child and had no idea there was any slavery going on at all. It was just the boring live-action stuff before they got to the Briar Rabbit cartoon.) But Disney cartoons aren’t JUST for kids. To me, animation

No, my opinion doesn’t matter, here, but I still feel qualified to say that draping a sheet over the past does nothing to fix it. That’s why Jews have a problem with Holocaust deniers. It would be kind of weird if we started erasing all references to the Holocaust in popular culture, right?

I don't like the whole "treat the symptom and call it a cure" mentality of it all.

Nice picks. A cheesy trucker movie, one of the beautiful and strange Russo-Finnish episodes, and Sci-Fi’s answer to Manos: The Hands of Fate.

Pumaman, Werewolf, and Deadly Bees is also a strong contender. I love ‘em all, but the Sci-Fi episodes were glorious.
