Yeah, but I would also argue that The Mandalorian doesn’t deserve to be on that list at all as the current ongoing flavour of the month schlock thing that everyone will completely forget about the moment they’re tired of Baby Yoda.

Watchmen I’d probably put somewhere between 10-20. There’re a lot of individual elements…

Yeah, I was onboard with Russian Doll up until it just...ended.

I don’t need my magical realism Groundhog Day stories to explicitly unfold like a Westworld-style jigsaw, but there were far too many hints regarding the time loops having those internally consistent rules and occuring for some specific underlying reason.

Watchmen at #2 seems a bit premature and feels more to do with this particular show being the current ongoing flavour of the month prestige thing everyone raves about.

While I don’t want it to be a letdown, I’m also not going to understimate Lindelof’s ability to bottle it at the very last second.

The last decade of Alan Moore being a “grumpy dick” prettty much just amounts to hack bloggers purposely needling him on topics that he very famously has very little good to say about. 

“Man consistently shilling for MCU and shitting on DC wants an honestly-kinda-interesting piece of behind-the-scenes moviemaking destroyed out of spite.“

They did make her super preachy regarding guns/killing which didn’t really feel like a reaction to any specific fan backlash or lack thereof, just weirdly out of character for past Doctors in general.

Ah yes, making an ever so slightly ‘out there’ sci-fi space action comedy starring an all-star cast as the tenth entry in your multi-billion dollar blockbuster franchise was literally the biggest risk in the history of cinema.

Westerns peaked before the vast majority of commenters on this site were even alive. I can’t help but feel like this argument is always just whataboutism from people googling “famous historical movie trends”.

Oh yes, Martin-fucking-Scorsese is just totally jealous of capeshit.

It’s like poetry, it rhymes.

I think he’s both low-key a musical genius and very mentally unwell as of late (i:e past year or two).

For what it’s worth he seems very much self-aware regarding his mental illness/struggles and at this point of his massive career there’s little for anyone to really exploit/take advantage of.

Nevermind the fact he’s putting children in cages and recently abandoned Kurdish forces in Syria to basically be genocided by the Turks, clearly his biggest moral failing is the fact his shitposting on social media breaks the sacred rules of Twitter.

Fuck me in between this and the recent Ellen thing, I really can’t…

I don’t think there are any special reasons aside from the boring practical ones. The plant needed to be moved for logistical reasons and it’s an opportunity to have access to crazy amount of rare metals and a relative privacy/freedom/power to do whatever she wants in a third world country that she virtually owns.

White…

Uhhh...good? Better yet, give it to Joaquin Phoenix both because he deserves it and just for the general maximum internet drama.

Is it finally acceptable to admit Endgame kinda sucks on every front that isn’t “copious amounts of fanservice” (unless you’re a big fan of Hulk, Thor, Drax, Black Widow, Captain Marvel,…

This isn’t a contentious point for anyone.

It’s okay, the usual AVC regulars are just secretly mad that all the moral panic surrounding this film didn’t result in a violent incel uprising they lowkey hoped it would have.

I feel like they’re probably really excellent at playing the business game as those corporate yes men stooges who can put up with all the Disney Executive Committee Focus Group Meddling Bullshit and churn out an aggressively competent movie in the process, but as far as the actual “film making“ in filmmaking goes,…

“The Russo Bros are so fundamentally sound in the way they communicate spatial relationships between characters during set-pieces. It’s what truly separates their work on this scale from most others’. It’s truly jaw-dropping how grounded the audience is at all time.”

Ah yes, who can forget this all time iconic…

Reminds me of how apparently Samuel L Jackson really loves working with M Night. because he’s apparently a pretty good dude who’s always happy to consult with the actors and actively incorporate their feedback.

He’s not decrying the death of the “real cinema”, he’s just saying MCU is not it.

And you know exactly what he means by this and why.
