Wasn’t Chadwick Boseman’s after Hanks’s? I can’t swear all the post-Hanks installments were amazing (Velvet Jones failed to impress me, for instance), but T’Challa on Black Jeopardy? GOLD.

The “your mom” jokes spawned by the headline’s question boggle the mind. . .

Speaking of terminology, is “drag queen” still okay at times? I understand what transwomen are and good for them, for real. But are there still just, y’know, gay dudes that like to dress up like ladies and be fabulous but don’t consider themselves women? I don’t watch RuPaul’s show, but are those folks now all…

I saw it coming in the wake of his casting and IRON MAN’s success - “Oh, they’re gonna make Hal a cocky jerk who has to learn his lesson.” Which he never really was in the comics, at least until Geoff Johns came along.

To put in in RIGHT STUFF terms, they keep trying to make Hal a Gordo Cooper when he really is an Al…

The way the guy counts, I don’t think he’s a white supremacist. But I do wonder why he was in Dealy Plaza that day. . .

I think PATRIOT GAMES would have worked better with Baldwin if it was a better film, if that makes any sense. The book takes place before RED OCTOBER, so Baldwin’s age would have been a better fit, and also helped further sell how out of his depth Ryan was. But Ford probably slightly elevated the film we got (the…

I was terribly distracted by Tom Hanks not walking his dog at any point in the first 90 minutes of the movie when the dog was always shown pacing around in the apartment like crazy. He clearly needed a walk.

And then when he walks the dog to his final meetup with Meg Ryan, he lets the dog off the leash in the middle of…

MODOK is getting angry!

Especially since - assuming a feature-only viewer could start watching a CAP 4 starring Sam and it would track just fine spinning out of the end of ENDGAME.

I love the journey TFATWS took us on, but having Sam take the role of Captain America on without those second-thoughts and speedbumps wasn’t impossible. . .

I’m sure Pfeiffer’s LOVE FIELD performance wasn’t half as good as her phenomenal Catwoman, and have no doubt that the Oscar nom for that was a guilty stealth nomination for BATMAN RETURNS (because we obviously can’t nominate her for a. . . comic book movie).

But Hathaway’s Catwoman wasn’t especially noteworthy. Very…

I’d say a bunch of the lady burglars are Catwomen; I think a stack of her self-titled comic books are Catwomans.

I realize Joss Whedon is an un-person now and is Always Bad All The Time, but I hardly think he needs to be dinged because Captain America is explored in less depth in the AVENGERS films than in his solo films. I suspect that’s merely a screen time thing.

I hope the show clarifies but I’m inferring that a lot of resources (jobs, real estate, material goods) might have become more easily available to the have-nots of the world with half the population vanishing. (Perhaps some governments had a land-rush-esque lottery to reassign vacant houses?) So when the blip-ees…

Agreed - overlong, overloud, etc. But the bit that always bugged me most was that Jackson was doing a remake that was uber-faithful (albeit with every element turned up to 11) BUT he decides to change first mate Jack Driscoll into a playwright?!?

Has Jackson ever spoken about why he felt this change was so critical to…

Yeah, I’m confused about that myself. Initially, I assumed that Fisher thought the Black community would be upset by Vic Stone’s accident “castrating” him, and that Johns thought it would not be an issue. But then Cyborg is shown as less than a torso in the Snyder Cut, which Fisher doesn’t seem to have a problem with:

Thanks for the replies. I certainly wasn’t suggesting that a white actress be put in blackface, and don’t need to be told that would be straight up wrong. I also do understand representation matters.

My initial reaction was thinking that if you had one African-American actor whose features otherwise better resemble…

I get the issue with the Nina Simone situation. I also understand that the actress in the article above should have been asked/warned.

But, honestly asking, what is the best solution when casting multiple actors playing the same character at different ages? If you were making a film starring, say, Angela Bassett, and…
