The DCEU doesn’t need “saving.” It was doing perfectly fine as a collection of loosely-connected, mostly standalone films which all did their own thing. Most of the post-Snyder DC movies have been hits, and almost all have been critically acclaimed. And a big key to their success was that they didn’t care about…

DISCLAIMER:

Counterpoint: Real-life Charles is also a piece of crap and a TV show mildly inconveniencing billionaire parasites is perhaps the single most trivial problem in the entire world

Elon Musk has never been fair to anyone else so honestly we should return the favor and treat him the same.

Mostly the parents who can’t shut up about Jesus.

“What if we just made a good superhero movie, and then we made another good superhero movie, and we don’t worry about whether or not the heroes are all friends because crossovers aren’t special anymo-”

I’m not sure what Johnson changed, exactly. By my recollection he changed very little; Abrams set up a bunch of stuff with no intention of paying it off himself (which is kind of how he writes everything) and left it to the next guy to resolve those plotlines. Well, Johnson did what he was hired to do and resolved…

This game has “gamestop discount bin” written all over it. Just wait a year or so and you’ll be able to pick it up for a song.

Reviews aren’t a race, even though many mediocre sites treat them as such.

I too am offended that this video game news site insists on publishing video game news.

In fact, most of DC’s films during his tenure were hits, and the lineup was far more critically successful than DC’s Snyder-era films. I quite liked that DC was willing to just do standalone films which all felt like they had their own identities.

I was really only interested in seeing this because it’s technically a spinoff of Shazam (one of DC’s best films ever) but from the ads and reviews it looks like the movie ignores this connection completely. That feels like a mistake to me. Hell, the whole point of Black Adam initially was that he was Shazam’s…

These days they just retroactively label anything that fails as “woke.” Doesn’t matter what it was actually like.

Nah. Elon isn’t nearly as smart as he thinks he is, but I think he’s at least smart enough to recognize the Lex Luthor Principle.

The press coverage isn’t there to hurt him, it’s because he’s an important figure with a tremendous amount of completely unearned power and influence and people have a right to know what people with that kind of power are doing.

Well said. The black boxes were in my opinion better designs than the early Famicom art because they were an ingenious way for Nintendo to differentiate themselves from Atari. They look dated now, but in 1985 these were actually pretty impressive graphics, so using pixel art made a lot of sense. (That said, switching…

And Sam ended up being arguably the real hero of the whole story, remaining loyal and determined even when Frodo faltered. Hell, his *actually* humble background is exactly why he was the only one able to resist the ring’s temptations.

“Stop questioning this wealthy celebrity and consume the corporate product he helped make without complaint!” is TOTALLY what a free thinker would say, my dude.

Buddy, I hate to break this to you but Hollywood movie casting is hardly ever only about what matters “creatively,” especially not in modern animated films. People who actually work in the industry have opened up about this in recent years, how casting in animated films has pretty much been taken over by studio…

The reason he worked in the Lego Movie was because Emmet is supposed to be the most generic person in the world. That was the whole point of him, he’s a standard-issue Lego figure in a conformist city who never questions anything until his life is disrupted. He’s SUPPOSED to sound like “just some guy.” Chris Pratt is…
