I was incredibly underwhelmed by Aquaman.

Micole Kidman was miscast as hell.

The CG of the last fight was bad, and probably should’ve been more practical like the waterfall fight, but I did appreciate the cheek of having the fight take place in a literal Underground Railroad.

When something like Return of the King gets the prize for being the culmination of a series of genre films replete with technical, storytelling, and logistic achievements, I have a hard time arguing that Endgame wouldn’t also deserve something if it manages to stick the landing.

Thank you. His own people are expendable in his quest to get to Wakanda: there is no reason to believe that he wouldn’t sell out everyone there to reach his quest for power. He’s a great villain for all the reasons you mention, but he’s that: a villain, and a power mad one a that who’s against all of the equality he’s…

I’m on the side that doesn’t find Killmonger all that deep or relatable and it’s entirely down to his over-the-topness in every regard. Like, it sucks you lost your dad, but he was a shady arms dealer that committed high treason. He wasn’t exactly wronged. And it wasn’t exactly ‘white America’ or ‘the Colonialist…

Another Breihan column! This is excellent news.

White Nationalists and The Alt-Right like to talk about the fear of “White Genocide” but Killmonger LITERALLY wants White Genocide.

I think it’s legitimate to complain that Infinity War didn’t also get a nod in a year where Green Book won best picture. That’s a problem with the Oscars, though, not comic book fans.

Infinity War, I think, was the MCU movie that most closely captures the feeling of a comic book, jumping right into the story, the breakneck pacing, the faux-cliffhanger ending, a very formidable villain, etc. It had so much fist-pumping action exactly offset by the genuine emotion of the Thor/Rocket scene, the final…

I’m excited to see how the box office column goes, since there will be overlaps with the two existing columns all over the place.

It’s my favorite MCU film.

Infinity War has no right being as good as it is. With that many characters and that many plotlines to converge at once, it should be a total mess. But it’s really enjoyable and has become one of my favourite Marvel films. I love how tonally bleak it is compared to others in the series and it’s really impressive how…

Bravo on this series, Tom. It’s been a weekly highlight for me. Man, I can’t wait for the next one.

“...this is the origin story of Killmonger—the movie’s antagonist figure, but not quite its villain.”

On the docket for this weekend:

Greetings, Fellowship of the WAYPTW thread,

After a busy week, I’m finally able to download Borderlands GOTY Remastered and give it a try for the first time this weekend. After hearing from all the devoted fans, I’m excited to see what all the hype is about.

I’m going to get this for my son and then laugh my ass off when he starts freaking out over people grabbing the shit first.
