i'm like 6 monthd late to the party but i just saw the last avenfers movie and lmfao it is so bad. the infinity stones are magic mcguffins that can perform any wish the owner can imagine, except it can't return two very specific people to life because the rest of the avengers just decide "nope it's impossible" but nobody even notices that the vision doesn't get brought back. also you have to sacrifice what you love most to get the soul stone which makes sense w/ thanos & gamorra but makes no sense for jeremy & widow b/c neither one of them love the other and in fact they're both enthusiastically suicidal soooo . . . ? oh an apparently the hulk can wish everyone back to life AND impart in them the knowledge of the last 5 years BUT he can't also throw in a rider to just nuke thanos where ever he currently is? and octogenarian cap at the end implies nothing in the main timeline changes despite the fact that now he obviously won't exist to be cap in the early 2000s time travel as a plot device is always shite but man avengers end game managed to handle it in the dumbest way possible

The Infinity Stones are basically Dragon Balls for all intents and purposes

I watched the first season of Mr. Robot when it came out and thought it was good. Stopped earlier in season 2 though. The creators seemed to get how lovely it is to live in the late capitalist US, even for relatively privileged workers. I hung out with some friends tonight who were doing marathon a of later seasons, and how exactly did that show turn into fighting a Chinese conspiracy that's infiltrated every aspect of the US ruling establishment. Like China is literally plotting to annex African countries in the show. What the gently caress.

Huh, the protag of Lone Wolf and Cub is actually kind of a bastard as well (I remember there's a bit where he watches his target rape a woman to death and doesn't intervene because it's not opportune) so maybe fitting.

I mean after the sequels have been a recycled-piss-drinking incoherent retelling of Star Wars being Star Wars it seems fitting to actually go to back to the well of cowboy and samurai stories I gotta admit I'm a sucker for retro sci-fi stuff like hand-loaded disintegrator rifles. It feels like forever since any new sci-fi has had a consistent visual theme and language for its technology; Star Trek was pretty good at it too, with distinct aesthetics for different cultures and factions.

the tragedy of Superman discourse is that Man of Steel and Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice are the superman movies all these chuckleheads say they want, but they keep violently rejecting the notion, as if those films weren't about Superman being alienated from society and fighting global warming and billionaires that keep dehumanizing him

I loved it when I first saw it, it does not hold up. The entire middle act from when Jedha gets blasted to when they set off the bombs on Scarif is a boring, disjointed slog. TFA had similar problems, and the TLJ needs at least 30 minutes shaved off it. Somehow Solo is the best paced of the Disney films, the rest have serious editing and pacing issues.

Rogue One is def a case where the first 2/3 of the movie was hacked to pieces in the cutting room and it's real lucky the finale is crazy good.BENGHAZI 2 posted:In general, just do other genre stuff in that setting! Branch out and do something that isn't A Star Wars in the same setting as star wars That's basically what Star Wars (and Star Trek for that matter) is for. Hell, most good sci-fi is basically riffs on other stuff but with aliens and robots. Originality is mashing random genre trappings together around a formula until you get something that looks new.

Should say something that the best part of Rogue One was when everyone died The best thing to come out of Disney buying Star Wars is still the first thing: the Phineas and Ferb crossover

rogue 1 is too long and boring and bland compared to the dirty dozen type movies its drawing from but its one of the best disney star wars things just because, aside from the whole death star plans thing, the plot doesnt feel like a bunch of execs going down a big list of recognisable Star Wars refs
