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

You can run straight past the swamp on Torrent. Cut straight through from the entrance, or hug the right wall, and you'll dash past everything. It's if you go left into the area with the birds that it gets dicier, but that's a dead end anyway.

Portal fantasy is arguably lazier and more generic.

This is exactly what I was saying when that episode of Game of Thrones came out.

This is AVClub, they’ve been worse than Kotaku for years.

Sports fandom's also pretty ridiculous though.

I like the implication that he rebuilds his car between each film. Remember it gets shredded in Fury Road too.

Are you trolling?

It’s called juxtaposition, it’s a pretty common device.
