It also makes very little sense to introduce Fisk and then immediately expose him as the Kingpin by have Eleanor Bishop’s video become public knowledge, because the thing that makes Wilson Fisk so dangerous in the context of the world is the resources and assets he can bring to bear against a hero, not that he has the…

I think the assumption that Maya killed the Kingpin when it occurred offscreen and after they went through all the trouble to bring D’Onofrio back is jumping to a major conclusion that really isn’t supported.  These are basically comic books brought to life and the one overwhelming truism of comic books for nearly the…

If someone dislikes a film so much that they turn it off before seeing all of it, it is pretty unlikely they are going to nominate it for an Academy Award if they had just buckled down and watched the rest.

“Tortured Exposition Dumps” should be the subhead for all of the Matrix movies, including the first one.  Graceful world-building has never been the writing strength of the Wachowskis.

That is pretty doubtful.  Wolverine is at least a couple hundred years old and he spent decades of those years going from war to war.  I imagine Wolverine has killed more people than just about anyone else who has ever lived just through longevity.

Yeah, I imagine the percentage of players who had every single member survive is much lower.

“...it’s just a lazy and passive-aggressive way of giving Strong more shit...”

That was sort of the whole point.

It’s kind of amazing how much of a moving goalpost ‘the worst movie to ever win Best Picture’ is, depending on whatever ax a given writer has to grind at any given time. At various points, I’ve heard the ‘honor’ given to both Crash and Shakespeare in Love, which, if accurate in either case, would have made A Beautiful…

I have not actually watched What We Do In Shadows yet.  Mostly because I’m leery of vampire comedies.

Lost.

Sounds suspiciously like a vampire comedy movie.  I can’t think of a single vampire comedy movie I’ve really liked off the top of my head.

I’m not really a Beatles fan per se and I’m enjoying it very much just as a study of the creative process.

No love for Streaky the cat?

Sounds like they tried to make an earnest zombie movie, but I think the moment for earnest zombie stories has probably come and gone.

Loki was terribly structured. The guy who turned out to be the major adversary of Loki wasn’t introduced until the last episode of the mini-series and spent 35 minutes of the episode sitting in a chair and explaining the plot of the mini-series to Loki and Sylvie.

Boy, this list gives a lot of credit to the Disney+ series, which I’ve found to be hit or miss at best (WandaVision), and downright pretty bad at worst (Loki, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier).

The voice case was mostly just the voice cast from the Avengers Assemble cartoon, right?  Including Travis and Laura from Critical Role?

The Thor section was clearly tacked on to further the Infinity Stones storyline and had almost nothing to do with the ongoing narrative. It easily could have been cut from film and 10 minutes of actual Ultron narrative added in so that Ultron taking over half the world wasn’t something that happened offscreen and…

I was not a fan of Awkwafina.  I thought the rest of the movie was pretty good, though they could have cut out Trevor Slattery altogether and not lost anything.
