They should be vulnerable to that criticism anyway, when the adaptation bears little resemblance to the source material.

“First non-Marvel film in over a decade” is a clickbait-ass way to say “second film”, especially when said Marvel flick was the only one since Spider-man 3, fifteen years and three movies before.

This but unironically. It would put the middling-to-decent yet more maligned entries into perspective :P

I think Inhumans would be more disliked if more people saw it.

A few of them suffered from Covid. Wandavision had to drop an episode, and Falcon and the Winter Soldier supposedly had half its plot reworked because it involved a virus.

Fair.

“Yeah, but that’s the usual bigot/Brexiteer/gammon voters who merely switched from Tory to Reform. They’ve always been there and they’ll just switch back.”

Five. They picked one up in recounts :/

A big factor in Britain’s election result was the conservative vote getting split by the far-right Reform party.

I know what you mean, but it kinda felt like it was for the opposite reason - that they weren’t expecting a sequel so they crammed as many elements in as they could.

tbf, Robert Rodriguez fits the material pretty well. Would have more so were it not so toned down in the movie.

It’s the manga, Road to the Erdtree. It’s a comedy that basically adapts the game with a Wretch start.

It’s not like it’s the first adaptation.

That’s what I thought. Honestly, I was a little surprised there was going to be a movie, the last season finale really felt like a series finale.

It’s textbook radicalisation. She got hung up on an issue and got sucked into echo-chambers that reinforced that hang-up into zeal.

I think there’s plenty of ways to adapt a franchise like that. To use Dark Souls as an example, you could do an anthology flick like the comics, or cut between alternative worlds like Dark meets Run Lola Run, or pick a smaller background story like Alva and Zullie.

Maybe Perlmutter just liked him. iirc Inhumans was his pet project.

Exactly!

With the scale of the franchise, they’re really missing a trick not switching between different scales/budgets for their movies.

This is probably a lukewarm take by now, but Finn Jones’ Iron Fist was way more tolerable outside his own show.
