Nah, Dark World is still at the bottom. Its problem compared to all the listed examples (aside from Eternals, which is just underrated) is that it’s not just bad, it’s BORING. The others are bad in ways that make for interesting discussions or are unintentionally amusing. The way Dr. Strange 2 completely squanders…

They brought back one of Moe’s old girlfriends from a previous season and they got engaged. Also Comic Book Guy met a woman online and they got married.

So that means they DID write about South Park. So why are you complaining?

It’s already stuck. Homer really hasn’t strangled Bart regularly in ages. If you go back and watch the classic seasons in order, you see the writers already get tired of the joke by season 5 or 6. By the time you get to the teen numbered seasons it’s basically gone completely. This is just them stating it out loud.

Except AI can’t do that, because it’s built around copying preexisting ideas. By definition it can never create NPCs with unique traits, it can just take old traits and remix them.

or if we can use it as a tool to help inspire more creation

Oh, I see how it is! Disney buys Hulu and then suddenly they decide they’re too good for ostrich-fucking! Allegedly!

It is 1970. The Beatles have just released their final song.

Wow, a real “right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing” situation going on at Marvel these days.

Trump, Elon, now this guy: why is every mediocre white rich guy obsessed with Twitter? Don’t they know that they can use all their stupid money to buy things? Things that are more fun than Twitter?

Hello, I AM Casey Bloys and my penis is extremely small and I smell really bad and one time a baby beat me up.

You’re right that they were clearly making up most of the Thanos saga as they went along, but because the main idea is so simple, they could get away with it. As long as one of the stones showed up in a movie, it FELT like story progression, even if it wasn’t.

I mean, Dr. Claw is a direct parody of Doom so it makes sense that you’d associate them.

In 1966 the creators of Star Trek figured out how to paint a woman green. Apparently this knowledge has not survived and so Marvel producers in 2022 had no choice but to spend $25 million an episode on a big CGI She-Hulk.

My favorite test screening story is from the Harrison Ford movie Clear and Present Danger. When the bad guy died, the audience began to cheer, but he died really fast so they didn’t get much of a chance to. This actually resulted in negative scores as viewers were upset they didn’t get to cheer. So they reshot his…

You fool, don’t you know Alf is back? In pog form?

Whether TV viewing is actually needed or not, the marketing has made it SEEM like it is, and that’s the impression people are carrying.

It’s been three years since this new “saga” started and I still don’t know what the fuck it’s about. The original Thanos storyline was so simple and easy to follow: There’s seven magic rocks, whoever finds them all gets Phenomenal Cosmic Power. A bad guy wants them. Simple but compelling, and easy to follow across…

It really varies based on the character. Not replacing Boseman was the correct play, for a couple of reasons: First, the original Black Panther movie was a pretty big pop culture event for African Americans, and Boseman was the face of that. It’s hard to understate the amount of love and respect the man garnered, and…

It’s hard to accuse NYC of hating baseball if they’re willing to provide a home for a team as historically pathetic as the Mets.
