The joke only works if the movie has something to offer beside cameos, and this one sure didn’t.

For my money, Wakanda was just as bad as Thor 4 and Dr. Strange 2. Terrible year for MCU films. 

I saw Everything Everywhere All at Once the day after Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness. EEAAO comprehensively beat DS2:MoM’s ass six ways from Sunday in every single facet in the creative process. The difference really was night and day with EEAAO being a bright day (and a huge gale of fresh air) while MoM…

Financially, it did well, sure. Creatively, Strange was a disappointment, with all the potential of a multiverse wasted by showing us a couple of dull worlds that seem like reskinned variants of the main MCU, the potential of introducing Mr. Fantastic and Professor X wasted by killing them off instantly (and having…

Short version:

And like, how jiggly is The Last of Us going to be? Because the trailers suggest the answer is not very.  And that’s where DOA: Dead or Alive really shines.

The only reason this is gonna work is because of the characters and storylines Naughty Dog excel at creating. Most video games are held together with a threadbare story and basic characterisations. ND are the best in the industry now at creating a compelling story and truly believable characters with dialogue that…

Better than DOA: Dead or Alive?  I refuse to believe that.

Counterpoint: The Last of Us was already basically an interactive film, versus being a video game first and foremost (Sony seems to focus on those with their first party games, from Naughty Dog’s recent output to the God of War reboot). If you just cut the gameplay segments and create one of those “video game movies”…

NOM!

Overwatch is it. Could have been the greatest thing ever. Now I actually think they waited too long, and the window for that has passed.

I’m amazed a Metroid movie hasn’t happened in all this time. It’d have been a higher priority for me than things like Need for Speed or Rampage.

Abstractly they are similar, and inspiration here is meant that way I think.  

Are you really confused by this? Why multiple comments asking the same thing?

Do you guys get paid extra every time you put “finally” in the headline?

Or maybe the fact that every article about the movie boasted about the gay character turned people off. Being gay is not a personality trait.

“Gentrification doesn’t really help anybody except property developers.” This just isn’t true. Not that, it doesn’t have negative effects, like everything in life, but investing in lower socio-economic areas has many positive effects on everyone, not just property owners. Small businesses, entrepreneurs, increased…

First Eternals flopped, then Lightyear flopped, now Strange World is flopping. Individually, each flop can be explained by other variables. Collectively, it certainly starts to look like a pattern of child-oriented movies with out queer characters flopping, which suggests some degree of consumer rejection.

Reducing Nya to ‘the crazy girl who drowned’ seems mean spirited, like it was her fault she drowned saving her son. It was incredibly sad, regardless of the quality of the vehicle that made her famous.  Maybe that wasn’t what you were going for.  

I feel you could say that about any Ryan Murphy show. It should have stopped years earlier.
