I think that one of the problems with our olds is that they are too young to be from the generation that turned liberal after WW2 and Ike. DVD is from the generation that supported Kennedy and King, but our standard 70 year-old now was a Reagan voter...

God bless Dick Van Dyke.

Snowflakes. They obviously needed safe spaces on campus.

Thank you for neatly encapsulating the mindset that exists when movies go wrong.

The movie characterizations were based on the Ultimates, and the movie Thor and Tony are pretty much exactly as they were in that.

Right? You see the joke coming, but you go:"Surely they are not going to make that joke...”

It’s worth have the captioning on for the star wars one...

Right?

There is some serious meta in Airplane! The jokes are making fun of the jokes...it’s like, the joke is that somebody would MAKE the joke, not the joke itself.

DUDE. IT’S RIGHT THERE IN THE NAME. IT WASN’T:”STAR WAR”.

I feel like the carbon freezing chamber was responsible for the overall look of hundreds of ‘80's music videos.

...and also Highlander.

Disney TOTALLY thought they had another Star Wars on their hands. I can only imagine it was because they hold old executives going:”Eh! Robots! Space Ships! I don’t get it, but the KIDS love this shit. This’ll be huge!”

They promoted it like they thought they had a BLOCKBUSTER as well. It’s amazing nobody at the…

I never saw Reed being funny in the comics. He’s the straight man.

Johnny and Ben are comic relief!

I think they could do a lot with it...especially with Sue being essentially not taken seriously in 1961 and being all fuckthisworld, then in the sequels really have her coming into her own but still having to crush the occasional misogynist bullshit. Maybe Reed is a little taken aback by the hippity hop millennials…

Sarah Gadon as Sue OR WE RIOT.

My dream FF movie would be a period piece that starts in 1961 with Howard Stark sending them on a TOP SECRET mission to investigate a tear in space of the sort Loki brought the Chitauri through, (“Reed, you’re the most brilliant mind I know. Take a pilot, biologist and mechanic. The rift closes in 2 weeks. We have an…

FF isn’t about popularity, it’s about potential. The first 100 or so issues are rightly called the world’s greatest comic magazine. They are just bursting with amazing ideas. Handled right, an FF franchise would dwarf anything else (except maybe a done-right X-Men).

Reed needs to be NOT funny and light hearted. At the end of the day, he’s a serious scientist that everybody listens to because he’s a great leader. I think with Krasinski there would always be an implied nudge-nudge, kind of like there is with his Jack Ryan.

Not sure who could be a good Reed. He has to come across…

Man, I wish we would go to a popular vote model in the US. I live in California, where my vote also doesn’t matter.

Imma think nobody should feel like that. 

Nothing says:”GREAT ARTICLE” like a string of twitter videos that don’t play if you have an ad blocker.

Doc Savage was winding down by WW2!
