Old Man Logan. Mark Millar is a writer who I’ve definitely had to re-evaluate as I’ve matured, but this is the purest distillation of his “everyone is a complete sociopath” and “Silver Age Comics were awesome” themes he shoehorns into everything. He even got to register his absolute hatred of the Hulk in a really

It does all that, and still finds time to take down entire eras of music and individual musicians! They even got Eddie Vedder to clown on himself, that’s like convincing the Pope to let you snap a photo where he’s holding up devil horns

I agree, this trope was murdered the minute The Shield set a edgy dramatic montage to “Bawitaba” by Kid Rock and it’s kind of amazing its still a thing

Yeah, Bee talked a big game about resisting Trump when that was earning her money but as soon as she got any blowback she folded. Kind of gave the left some of the Fox News experience

I feel the exact same way about YouTubers, there are a lot of news articles and people tell me there are big controversies, but there are just so many names and so much information that I end up tuning it out and focusing on things I actually do like and that matter to me

Could you imagine this one getting past a modern marketing department? Never mind the whole thing, could any individual element get approved now?

This is kind of the story of genre and exploitation films too, they made relatively cheap movies that explicitly appealed to a specific, under-served audience in a way that mainstream films couldn’t even attempt to without alienating a wider portion of the audience.

Boba Fett should treat it’s title character the same way The Terminator did

I remember the characters’ names, don’t overdo it on the snarky quips and share my peanut M&Ms, who wouldn’t want to share a matinee with me?

Seeding the inevitable deposition over his own corruption with an ad for Trump Mattresses, Pruitt you magnificent bastard. Earned advertising, baby!

If Solo had been release right before Thanksgiving or Xmas, it would have killed. This is a movie you see when it opens with your friends, then see again a week later with your Dad because you know he wouldn’t mind it and it’s mindless and fun enough to sit through a second time

This is the sequel to one of my all time favorite games, why am I getting more and more uneasy as it approaches release?

The Star Wars side stories from back in the day had a great atmosphere and world building, but the stories could never change the status quo for the stories or the characters’ development, the Star Wars films were the only time that could happen and it was always by a lot. (Even the films had issues with this with

Sony

Is this article a shot fired across the GMG-niverse?

What you’re describing actually sounds promising. So far this movie seems like a Sony exec scanned through a list of third string characters they had the rights to and settled on two women named after specifically colored mammals and said “they should team up”

If I had the keys to Disney, I’d turn Maul into a ersatz Thanos for a loosely related Solo/Fett/Kenobi trilogy that ends with an adaptation of that episode of Rebels. I’d call it The Tales of Tattooine Trilogy because kids today love alliteration 

I 100% agree, but I am also someone who thought The Last Jedi was amazing for breaking the rules and introducing some new story beats and different takes on the heroes and the lore. As the online reaction to that one proves, some people get very aggressive moving too far away from the stuff they’re already familiar

Disney puts out, what, four Marvel movies a year and people barely complain

They’re going to start certifying certain publications and posting their articles to users’ feeds. Probably for a visibility fee. After burning so many of them with advertising and pivots to video. Brutal
