Snowman_McK posted:You'll be pleased to know that at least one of the new Star Wars things is straight up bad. Mandolorian is oppressively uninteresting. It's literally a guy walking through video game cut scenes and wookiepedia articles. One fantastic side effect of it was it retroactively made me like the Last Jedi's Luke parts. In the TLJ he says "what do you want me to pick up a laser sword and fight the entire first order?". Pre-mando I thought yes that's exactly what I want. Then we get it, and I'm like wait no not like that. Now I'm confused and I realized I just don't have time for any of this. I'm just going to sit in my chair and read Catcher in the Rye again and leave all this malarkey in the bin where it belongs.

It's pretty neat when you realize that Justice League and Superman 78 have the same ending.

LesterGroans posted:It rules. It’s more that Snyder didn’t even “make” anything. Batfleck doesn’t do a single drat thing that Batman hadn’t already done in other media. So what we get is just this absolutely unrelenting ideological critique of Batman. And it‘a not some ‘elseworld’ Evil Version Of Batman. It’s not Brightburn, because nobody gives a poo poo about Brightburn. This is Batman. So picture, like, a Spiderman movie that’s effectively a highlight reel of every time the character’s canonically done something stupid or harmful, or pointless - or whatever - while in pursuit of ‘the good’. But not only that; it’s saying, like, “let’s do away with that stuff; we don’t need that stuff. Let’s try something new with the character.” This is very different from the current situation, where Spiderman remains fairly static and we just give him the ability to do drone strikes. Will he eventually conclude that this great power comes with great responsibility???

Grendels Dad posted:SHIELD carriers doing a 9/11 was pretty fun to see. It was something that should have been spectacular as gently caress. Instead it was grey blobs slowly turning into orange blobs. A lot of the MCU's spectacle is that what is being depicted is exciting on paper. The actual depiction tends to be really dull. It lends itself to water cooler conversations, though. "And then the flying aircraft carriers start shooting each other and exploding" "Wow, sounds exciting."

i haven't really watched that much of the mcu, but the only dialogue i liked enough to find it memorable of what i saw was ronan and thanos' scenery chewing contest in gotg, which is amazing "the only thing i do not take seriously, boy, is you." imagine if thanos had a motivation to actually match that shittalking.

Also, the best part of Endgame is Paul Rudd's fish out of water stuff, figuring out this Five Years Later world and the second-half tanks when they basically drop him.

Are the timeline forks a result of Barry travelling back to send Batman messages? Or are they due to him running real fast and rewinding time? Because if it's the latter I want to see the third timeline where the League are int he Kryptonian ship and watch the Motherbox just smack a dead Clark Kent in the face, before they are all arrested for grave robbing.

That was a bad scene, but the magic duel was so much worse. God that scene was irritating. Two powerful beings able to command reality and they just throw projectiles at each other like ken and ryu spamming fireballs.

Batman's big brain strategy for the magic material from beyond the stars is to put it on a stick and inside a grenade launcher and hope he doesn't miss the guy who can fly faster than jets They're not very smart characters

I would rather look at what each fight shows of the fighter's abilities.

Meanwhile Thano smashing a moon into tony is so rich in allegorical meaning, such as..........uh.... rocks hurt?
