Completely agree and also that 90's feel was a big problem with Suicide Squad too, everything from the shitty jokes (“Any requests?” “BET”) to the way they came up with random shit to move the plot along and treated the audience like idiots (“Her heart’s out! We can end this!”) felt like the type of crap we left…

Otherwise known as “Trump supporters”

Gandalf has gone to shit. 

DCEU fans racing neck in neck with Star Wars fans for worst fandom.

[sigh]
I was raised by women. Strong ones, who never whined about being in a toxic relationship. They kicked their men to the curb if they started acting like they got no manners.
Over on Jezebel, they’re just having a great time “I knew it”ing, like they know what the fuck’s going on. From the sound of it, neither of…

This isn’t a courtroom.

See bitching fanboys? Shit like this is why I’m glad Disney and Kennedy have the reins. The films may not be perfect, but at least they aren’t midichlorian bad.

Seriously, Disney is just going to let all you bitter old fans disappear as they create an even larger, younger generation. This whole “I would’ve done it differently and my way would’ve been SOOO much better” doesn’t change how Disney is going to do Star Wars. And “when” IX has such abysmal earnings (news flash, it…

Here is a counter-point:

The comments sections on a few other sites regarding Solo’s “low box office” (in Trump sarcasm voice) were filled with people still bitching about what they hated about TLJ. If you hated TLJ that’s fine but whatever argument you’re still fighting for I can promise that by now you’re largely arguing with yourself. My…

I really hope you don’t get butthurt about history and reality yourself because bad history is bad and people who repeat it should be ashamed of themselves.

...grappling with a generational trauma that causes oppressed communities to recreate the behavior of their oppressors

Those are arguable choices, but you miss the biggest name in plain sight: Ron Howard. Even his best-liked films, with the possible exception of “Splash” - diminish on re-watch. It’s as if he *aims* for B.

Del Toro’s work might average out to “B+”, but that doesn’t mean he has one or two “A” efforts in his C.V. “Pan’s Labyrinth”, for example, is an A+ piece of art. It’s the result of a visionary artist firing on all cylinders.

Sounds like a reasonable F4, though. Sometimes I think they’re really the only ones actually playing.

No, you’re cool there. I think this is just a US thing. Maybe the UK too.

I hate the Bleeding Cool influenced conspiracy about the Marvel vs Fox feud.
