I will say that Zod should still be played by Michael Shannon because Michael Shannon.

Burkion posted:Only thing that stopped Star Wars was Covid. No, Disney announced they were taking time off from the movies even covid, although even before TROS came out. Solo was really the turning point, but I also think the relative responses to TROS and The Mandalorian solidified their decision to hold off from movies in favor of the fifty or so new streaming shows they've announced since. Also worth noting is while TROS did not underperform, it achieved the absolute lowest end of what its predicted range, and not only did far worse than Force Awakens and Last Jedi, it also barely surpassed Rogue One. And obviously to studios, even if you make a profit, if you don't make enough of a profit as they think you should make, that's a failure. I will say the weirdest box office thing I've seen in Star Wars fandom are the people who claim that Solo actually wasn't a giant flop and that it really was a true revenue hit. Real brand defenders.

That might be how you remember it, but that's not what they actually said https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2471403/disney-just-dropped-a-bunch-of-surprise-star-wars-dates We were supposed to get a new movie next year. Its been delayed to 2023 purely due to covid

In other words, that even before covid (or TROS/Mandalorian) the decision had been made to take time off from Star Wars movies before releasing half as many movies per year going forward.

Then what happened was The Mandalorian blew the gently caress up in popularity which made Disney green-light a pile of Star Wars streaming shows to be released until the movies start-up again. Which will be in 2023 at the earliest.

Marvel's editor-in-chief confirmed that Obama's election was the inspiration for creating Miles Morales, fwiw: quote:When we were planning 'Ultimatum,' we realized that we were standing at the brink of America electing its first African-American President and we acknowledged that maybe it was time to take a good look at one of our icons.

Quite a few comic book universes actually have in-universe laws allowing superheroes to testify in their masked identities.

As a former professional wrestler, Spider-Man is simply respecting the code of the mask. Any punishment American law can mete out is nothing compared to shaming the memory of El Santo by betraying the mask.

FilthyImp posted:Iirc, Spodey also misses out on poo poo like royalties, likeness usage fees, and merchandising because his identity is a secret. In that particular comic he's suing J Jonah Jameson for damages but realises partway through that even if he wins the case he can't transfer the money to Peter Parker at all, and he considers donating it to a charity instead. In the end he settles out of court and makes Jameson dress up in a chicken costume and hand out "Spiderman is innocent" flyers on a street corner. Many many years later he goes "Wait, I'm a scientific/engineering genius, why am I living in poverty?" and gets rich by running his own tech start-up corporation

The movie's real sin was casting an actor on the level of Elba, then putting him under 20 pounds of foam latex and having 95 percent of his dialogue be gibberish. Same bullshit as Eccleston in Thor 2 and Oscar Isaac in X-Men Apocalypse.

I really liked 2009 Star Trek. I was really big into Mass Effect at the time (I mean, who wasn't) and it felt like a really similar vibe. Never ended up seeing the other two, and I think I'm better for it.

I hated Trek 09, didn't like Into Darkness, found Beyond to be not necessary. JJ Abrams is a terrible and limited director, in vision, in skill, what he brings to the table, and has one speed for his movies. I look forward to frantic camera action as Superman runs really hard from left to right and then right to left on the screen to indicate heightened tension and sense of urgency and as is with everything he touches, disappointment. But he's not directing I guess. God I hope whoever that director is manages to save the movie from him.
