So many things we could list from the 90s.
Just Shoot Me has a ton of Trump nods that are that awful we-don’t-mean-it-but-we-actually-do edgelording which might be the most destructive thing about the 90's.
Agreed, but not everyone took Spy magazine seriously - they should've.
I think it’s 50/50 how Warner Bros plays this. A lot of the early (very positive) reviews are leaning heavily on this setting up sequels, alongside the trending #RestoreTheSnyderverse movement.
God willing. But most likely the synder fans (i hate to classify that with all the connotation but here we are) will love it, it will be everything they wanted, they cried watching it; and if you didn’t like it, its only because you’re a marvel normie who doesn’t know an auteur at work now read my 35+ tweet thread or…
Come Friday we’re all going to be discussing “The Falcon & The Winter Soldier” goodness anyway, so your wish will soon be granted.
Oh, it won’t go away for a while. There’ll be followup articles about Snyder stans throwing hissy fits about the negative critical reaction; articles about how many people ostensibly watched the Snyder Cut on HBO MAX; articles dissecting weird moments and easter eggs; at least one For Your Consideration article…
My one hope for all of this: I never have to hear about the fucking Snyder Cut again. I generally try not to yuck other people’s yum. I get that Snyder’s style is not appealing to me and that’s fine. Enjoy what you enjoy.
But damnit I am tired of hearing about this fucking thing.
So, haven’t watched the video yet, but does he address the title question ?
In related news, we’ve been stuck inside for a whole year.
He’s got an action figure coming this fall, too... everything’s coming up Xemnu!!!
“US has to race against a zeppelin piloted by a dude who cosplays as an Imperial German Officer named Baron von Blimp while hauling a cargo of chickens.”
Casting a third actor would have made Wanda look like an idiot because she would have been fooled but the audience wouldn’t have.
I don’t know what is so hard about this:
* They have the rights to use XCU Pietro/Peter now. Evan Peters was available. Why use some rando when you can actually tap into what is now YOUR library?
* It’s an Easter Egg/wink to people with a sense of humor. It gets some speculation going and we all had fun with theories.
*…
Casting a third person would also have made it immediately clear something was up because IT WASN’T PIETRO!
Something interesting did happen though. Wanda's grief allowed her to be manipulated in to believing Agatha's trick.
How was it too clever by half? The whole point was to get the audience in the same headspace as Wanda. Clearly this wasn't her brother...but she (and the audience) wanted it to be.
They deliberately manipulated people with the Peters stuff.
