But it’s hard to feel bad for James Gunn or Ryan Coogler not getting to do the movies they want to do when they’re both clearly, incredibly invested in making these exact movies.

Right?? Why would disney want to make movies that “people feel comfortable in and want to return to.”?? nevermind that the whole ‘next big test’ thing is generally imposed by media pundits looking for clicks and snyhard dceu fans looking for a chink in marvel’s armor.
Given that this writer’s last post was about how mystery shows are better if they leave the mystery unsolved, i’m inclined to take his musings on what the mcu should do with a grain of salt. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it
The “next big test” challenge isn’t something the studio announces, though; it’s something projected onto them by outside parties.
Ultimately, for Marvel to truly be tested, they would need to actively antagonize their audience. They would need to strip away all that robust infrastructure, release-date dominance, and storytelling formulas that have made them such a success. Realistically, they would need to make a movie without Kevin Feige. He’s…
It seems like they are taking risks, but in a slow, stepwise fashion. They aren’t getting out over their skis, so to speak. More that they are holding the audience’s hand and gradually walking them deeper in to the pool while constantly asking “are you ready to go a little farther?”
Disagree. Eternals still feels like a gamble. So does Shang Chi. It feels like Marvel is taking the lesson of Guardians and going to the next level - can it build an entire phase around heroes that casual fans are unfamiliar with.
I’ll be honest, I got to “on the balcony of his Sydney home” and that pretty much gelled my view. It’s his house. If everyone involved was consenting and happy to be involved, ain’t my business. Presumably (barring any further info contrariwise) it’s consenting adults consenting to be adults on one of said adult’s…
Dish about the spiral. DISH! He seems like he’s living his best life professionally and personally, but maybe I’m missing something.
Does Discovery Inc. make anything that isn’t ephemeral trash?
The stuck-on “swollen eyes” were truly a wonderful touch.
I have to figure “hire survivors” here means “hire Charlyne Yi.”
ick.
All I know for sure is that I don’t want to be friends with Charlyne Yi. Just pick up a phone and talk to the person you’re upset with, y’know. Communication. The key to any good, healthy relationship. If I fuck up and you talk to me and tell me, chances are I’ll apologize. And mean it!
She’s portraying herself as a survivor of on-set abuse when she’s openly admitted nothing happened to her on that set. She simply heard second-hand rumors on the part of James Franco and insisted on breaking a contract which would hold up production and cause countless problems to other people’s lives. When the…
Anything else?
Guess you didn’t read the article...
Ahhhh fuck... any time I’m compared to Trump is when I need to take a look in the mirror. That’s no bueno!! Yeah, apologies for the harshness. When 10 different people come at me in a hostile manner I’m obviously going to defend myself but that’s the shitty thing about the internet: when you remove any face-to-face…
