i very strongly wish the marketing team for the fast and furious franchise would stop spoiling all the big set pieces in their trailers, but i'll obviously still be seeing this

F8 was made way worse by the submarine showing up in all the trailers imo

having all the protagonists be posh white boys was grating but i can respect any movie that ends with making fireworks out of the heads of every billionaire in the world

Top Gun 2 kinda has a problem where theres no longer any other country that can even touch our airforce in plane-to-plane fighting. The Soviets were a threat during the first movie, but theres no one to replace them. Who can even launch planes against the U.S at the moment? Europe's minuscule airforces are practically just franchises of our own, the Russians are dilapidated, and Hollywood wouldn't dare piss off China by making them the villains.

tom cruise is going to crash land in iran and become radicalized and help the iranian army defeat the american air force by exploiting design quirks of american jets that only he knows

its rough to admit in this day and age but nazi gold pays the rent just as good as liberal copper unfortunately. not everyone has the option to not do business with someone because they worked with someone else once

it is not nearly as difficult to avoid associating with nazis as you seem to think it is

F8's biggest sin was spoiling every interesting moment in the trailers. i would have enjoyed watching it in theaters if i hadn't seen the entire submarine sequence already

oh also i think it's profoundly weird that the villain always has one buff woman in his employ that is sent to fight michelle rodriguez in the last arc of the movie. i feel like we as a society have progressed past the point where anybody would be particularly aghast if she got to knock a dude flat on his rear end

i guarantee you will not even need to watch the previous movie to get the entire story

unless you're referring to Dance of the 41, in which case you probably will need to play the game first

i think the main takeaway is that we're just doing all actors aside from the main characters in vfx now

it looks very expensive and very cheap at the same time? but i imagine a lot of people don't have an issue with deepfake stuff. i wonder if the guy disney hired for his deepfakes worked on this

practical effects are being phased out wherever possible because cgi work is nonunion. anything disney can offload to effects, makeup, costumes, prosthetics, whatever, they will

The Cats reference really speaks to me of a shift in the way Hollywood views itself, especially in regard to its failures. A flop used to be an embarrassment, something to be covered up or forgotten about, but now films have gotten so huge and depersonalized that there's just no reason to care about a movie you're working on. So where there used to be shame, now it's just a chance for some silly self-deprecating humor, even though the incestuous nature of top billing in Hollywood movies means there's almost certainly going to be a large number of shared actors, crew, and effects designers between Cats and this rescue rangers crap. They're trying to lord their power over us, waving around their worst failures and pretending it was just some whimsical thing that didn't matter to them. Frankly, I'm not too keen on it

e: i'll give the trailer one thing though genuinely it was nice to have the trailer open with something unique and diegetic instead of trying to cram every relevant key frame in the first five seconds for the sake of youtube ad roll

they're using some kind of bizarre tweening tool to get high fps on the 2d animation without actually drawing all the frames and it looks very bad

e: actually it looks like they're 3d models with a flattened cel shading texture applied to them? either way it's not working

he's still star lord, and he's the lead in Jurassic Park movies, which i wouldn't call the most prestigious listing available but he obviously hasn't lost clout with hollywood yet

i dont think execs particularly care about his views as long as he has puts butts in seats, which is tragically still the case

I like that Universal pivoted from the Dark Universe to just making interesting (looking) movies with the characters instead.

i dunno... there's plenty of fuel for good horror with boats and vampires, but the trailer makes it look like they're going for the same generic jumpscares and smashing a door poo poo you can see anywhere else
