Echo Chamber posted:Has there ever been a demographic survey of just how many actors on TV were originally high school drama club weirdos? I know some actors had even weirder childhoods than that, and some others had pretty normal lives until they stumbled into acting much later than usual. But I usually make the assumption whenever I see an actor on TV, especially if the persona presented is that of an aspirational everyman. from my experience working with actors? at least 80%

Grant Morrison has a lot of fun ideas but his grasp of material reality is appalling I feel the joke is that being a sleeper agent trying to destroy megacorps with bad ideas would be indistinguishable from the typical corporate executive

The X-MEN are every rebel teenager wanting to change the world and make it better. Humanity is every adult, clinging to the past, trying to destroy the future even as he places all his hopes there. The superhero aspect should be seen as only a small element in the vast potential of this franchise.

I'm excited for black widow and spider-man. Shang-chi looks like poo poo and the eternals won't won't the Kirby fever dream so it can gently caress off. Thor 4, Dr. Strange 2, and GotG 3 should be enjoyable. Black panther is probably going to suck with no MBJ or Boswick. The Marvels movie might be ok. Ant-Man and Wasp will be good. Disney also teased fantastic four in there please go back to the movies trailer they released today. That is the movie I want. I just want an enjoyable and watchable F4 What I'm not excited for is every moron watching the Marvel movies because they hate them or because it owns the chuds.

No Marvel movie has bombed so far, right? I think Ant-Man 2 did the worst and it was pretty much a box office success but far from a billion blockbuster. It's going to be funny when one does. These movies have the most bloated budgets.

I started listening to no cartridge for some video game news and it is just 2 morons talking about how they hate every game they play, but still buy franchises because they are fans. You don't have to consume

i don't know that a marvel movie will ever truly bomb, in the sense that it doesn't make back its budget, since these days almost every blockbuster does that. even the movies that are considered disney's bombs (atlantis: the lost empire, home on the range, etc.) all made back their budget at the box office, although they probably wound up losing a little money overall when you factor in marketing budgets and theatres and distributors taking a cut and so on modern bombs are really more about a movie not meeting expectations, and i feel like disney actually doesn't seem to have big expectations for any individual marvel movie. they're all sort of interchangeable, it seems

My favorite part of Chernobyl is how Emma Watson plays a fictional composite character of numerous scientists. It was my first time ever hearing of the term 'composite character' and sounded like to me that she was 50 scientists merged into the form of a single woman.

Aglet56 posted:
Superhero movies don't really need a framework for their sequels. It's not like Star Wars (which is funny because that's how they hosed up the new trilogy by not having a solid outline first). The next superhero sequel could be an entire genre change or focus on something entirely different. One movie could have the hero learning how they have to be careful with their powers and then the next movie is them on another planet going hogwild. It's easier to bend and mold based on feedback or just the director's whims.
