I'm not even much of a fan of Fantastic Four but dammit, ALL OF THE FUN in Victor Von Doom is that he's a "magic-wielding, armored, evil genius dictator of an entire country". He's all these tropes but he's more than the sum of them; he's literally Victor VON DOOM, he's eeeevil, and he's fabulous at it.
I've lost my ability to care at this point. Event fatigue, you might call it.
Since the Pope went on record accepting evolution and the Big Bang, shouldn't these people have disappeared into puffs of smoke already?
I stuck with this through all of Season One and I'm so glad I did. Initially Skye really annoyed me (she was textbook Mary Sue) and Ward left me cold; I liked May but in the early episodes she was criminally underused, and FitzSimmons were cute but maybe a little too innocent. The Hydra reveal and the darker turns…
I've had sinusitis and chronic allergies since I was a child, which were initially misdiagnosed. As the doctor explained it to me, this caused my respiratory system to lose some of its natural defenses and become very susceptible to the flu or the common cold. I lost weeks, sometimes months of school as a child due to…
No. Unlike Midichlorians, this actually makes sense.
KILL IT. KILL IT WITH FIRE.
So this is the endgame to the multiple universes storyline Hickman's been developing since 2012. Meaning Marvel's just made a huge deal of making Captain America a black man, Thor a woman and Iron Man an asshole, and now we already know that eight months from now someone steps out of the shower and finds out it was a…
Both SHIELD, a secret organization and HYDRA, an even more secret organization concealed inside another secret organization, have a disturbing penchant for branding.
That's it. That's the movie.
Agreed. I made the mistake of actually paying a movie ticket to watch Van Helsing. After the first ten minutes or so, as a survival mechanism I started to mentally catalog all the movies and tropes it was badly copying. I think I got to twenty but afterwards I blocked off the memory.
I still think someone put that in as a joke. Some guy from the concept art department is still snickering because he managed to get it past Zach Snyder, the production team, the MPAA, and nobody realized this was a bunch of huge dicks.
The ST II brain worms win hands down for me. I saw this on TV when I was about ten and the scene bothered me for years, to the point where only very recently was I able to watch the movie again.
Honestly? I sort of respect Robert Downey Jr. and Jodie Foster for remaining friends with Mel Gibson when the rest of the world pretty much think he's a certified racist and misogynist lunatic. Downey in particular has a debt of gratitude to Gibson (when he was in The Singing Detective and the insurance company…
Is Nicholas Cage walking on water? Is that the NYC skyline with a crashed, burning plane in the foreground? Subtle. How much bad taste can they possibly cram into this movie?!
My position on the Highlander saga is that they should have followed their own rule that "There can be only one."
Yes, but will Stormtroopers finally be able to hit anything?
