Good to know the cutoff.

I think the twist is kind of brilliant and subversive. It tackles the hot take issue head-on, and it honors the past franchise.

I have seen a number of grudgingly positive and/or mixed reviews. I'm not surprised, as a so-so/okay movie is about the most I expected.

The reviews are more mixed than that negative take, but yes

Let's leave the writers' room board of Lost out of this

I'd have finished it long ago but fucking Hulu still has only the dubbed episodes.

OK

I disagree with you about his overall work, but we 100% share the same grudge - his comments about Resurrection annoy me too. They filmed his script and I mostly liked it and the film, which gets an unfair rap despite being admittedly much lighter in tone than the others.

She talks about more than that - it's the why and how.

I don't disagree with that. I just don't think he does it as much as some people say. As I said upthread, it's a weird ritual these days where we burn progressive media icons trying to tout new ones, and I just don't think we have enough yet who are nearly as talented as Whedon is, flaws and all.

I like Ultron a lot, messy and weird and overstuffed as it is. That being said, I do think the scene can be easily misread.

I don't think that scene is about that, though. I think it's a huge misreading of what the Widow is talking about - how she had her identity mutilated to become an assassin at a young age.

I agree with you about WB I just came to trash hack-ass David Ayer tbh

Joss Whedon's worst movie is better than David Ayer's best.

So do I.

Thank you.

Not saying Whedon hasn't gotten a little long in the tooth on some stuff, but The Mary Sue is far from brilliant, unimpeachable new journalism itself.

That seems like an insane story you got from tumblr. It's also demonstrably false in both the film and his other work, like the seven-year TV show starring a lady vampire slayer.

Please no. She's too much.

That's definitely something to sell to kids of all ages looking for a positive comic book movie about a legendary heroine. You must be great at parties.
