We get it. You love saying opinions not based in reality

I definitely agree about the x-men stuff. It’s my assumption that he is a consumate professional and stepped aside out of courtesy of the other writers too. I think there is blame to be placed at editorial (?) for not setting clear expectations that this story is why readers are interested and it’s continuation is…

I think I have just been sufficiently pandered to that I might actually play a video game

Even Hickman seemingly got dicked over by editorial as he’s leaving the book before it even enters phase 2 of his three part x-story. I’m sure there’s all kinds of BTS drama we’ll never know but this is at least the second time it’s happened to him (Ultimate comics Ultimates being the most painful to me because it was…

It would be a bad argument but you could make it. Denis Villeneuve’s career seems proof of that.

They all make 10 episode mini-series for HBO Max now instead

That sounds like the makings of an actually interesting villain...

I was about to say, he might be old enough to have actually experienced anti-italian sentiments

Strangely enough I think we are in complete agreement. I was surprised by how much I loved Black Widow, excepting a few goofy plot details. Shang Chi had amazing fight sequences but very underwhelming characterizations and story arcs for basically every character. And Eternals is probably the best looking with the…

When it was $10 a month you only had to use it once for it to be worth it’s value. Even if it only let you see one movie per week on the new plan I’d still sign up in a heartbeat.

I used to use moviepass responsibly and always had a great time. Those were the golden days when I saw almost every new release in theater and would also buy drinks and popcorn too.

It’s very odd that Dowd would conflate bad writing with a previs problem. Does his spite for Marvel movies run that deep, or does he really misunderstand how these movies are made? Chloe Zhao reportedly pitched the concept of this movie to them.

This is probably my favorite series of all time and watching the actors in the twitter video gives me some amount of hope, but every other anime adaptation (with the exception of Edge of Tomorrow) pretty much guarantees this will be bad.

You must be fun in relationships.

It seems like this movie less proves that it doesn’t matter who is behind the camera as much as it really, really matters who’s behind the keyboard. This movie didn’t have a previs problem, it had a script and character development problem. The visuals were the saving grace of this film. 

I think this is possibly true, but I also bet if Chloe Zhao turned in an Eternals script that reduced Kevin Feige to tears but barely fit in with the larger MCU they’d do what they could to make it work.

I consider endgame ambitious because it kills it’s primary antagonist in the first 15 minutes of an almost 3 hour movie, has an absolutely bonkers plot that brings him back for the finale, and along the way gives extremely satisfying character moments for just about every major character, including a hammer. Having…

Maybe it’s just cuz I was young but the only reliably creative tentpole studios/franchises was pixar. I just don’t have much nostalgia for the early 2000's blockbusters, and very few were as ambitious as a movie like Endgame. I’m not talking movies in general, cuz I largely agree in terms of good, bad, ok it’s about…

The Mummy Returns, The Scorpion King, The Star Wars Prequels, Shrek 2-4 and Puss in Boots, Avatar, Jurassic Park 3, Planet of the Apes, the men in black sequels, The majority of pierce Brosnan’s James Bond movies, Pirates of the Caribbean sequels... Honestly the list goes on and on and on...

the military locks up everyone who doesnt sign the accords in civil war, and are generally antagonistic in the films. Steve Rogers is chosen to be captain america because he’s not a military man, because the movie depicts the average soldier as a bully. The movies are not ANTI-military but they are certainly not pro…
