I really hope they don't kill Taskmaster in Black Widow. Seems like a character that could be really fun to explore further and have pop up from time to time, especially if they want to do more smaller-scale stories.

I also just had a thought. Since Black Widow has been holding up pretty much everything, what are the chances of there being trailers dropping with it for Eternals, Shang Chi, and Spider-Man?

I have to imagine we get those trailers soon, yeah. Especially for the first two.

My guess on Space Jam is that everyone involved sat in a big circle and then as they went around the room they named all the characters you'd think would be in the movie like Bugs Bunny or The Animaniacs. And then they started to run out and moved on to characters Yogi Bear and Scooby Doo. And then they really ran out so like one guy was well how about Agent Smith? And then the flood gates opened. First it was Mama Fratelli. Then Baby Jane. One guy thought he was being cute by suggesting the War Boys but someone took him seriously and said "Yeah we can have the Droogs too!" and then it was so far gone that literally anything was on the table. Except for that one skunk.

Pennywise is there too, you know, because the kids love Pennywise.

I also noticed the Mask there, Penguin from Batman Returns, and Mr. Freeze in his smoking jacket.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

If they're going HAM with the nostalgia they're really loving up by not having the team learn SHAQ-FU, or the evil guys using a Team Summon at the end to bring in Sir Charles Barkley's KnightsOfTheRound-style CHAOS DUNK

My wife and I both agreed the conspiracy nut poo poo soooooo did not age well.

But I really loved GvK. They did a great job finding excuses for them to be in conflict. MOM'S thread is the weakest of everything but I liked the whole "I'll H4><0r the Gibson with my 4 weeks of HTML camp knowledge" thing.

I do think Zilla torching Kong's monkey throne was a bit much tho. Way to be a dick.

As i said, every Qanon and 9/11 truther thinks theyre that guy.

Yeah, and having Millie Bobby Brown going along with all of that stuff signals to us that it's sort of a good idea? That archetype just sucks right now.

I think the broad acting that people are directed to do in these big CGI things (this reminded me a lot of Transformers movies) did a disservice to MBB quite a bit, since they basically turn her into a total rear end in a top hat. Dennison brought her a van and she just immediately took it from him and tried to leave either without him or with him stuck under a wheel. And it's not like there was a rendezvous she was late for, she was going to ask a convenience store guy questions.

She shouldn't have brought him. She put him into a bunch of danger and he clearly regretted going almost immediately.

Look, someone had to spout exposition and hand-hold the audience through explaining MechaGodzilla’s existence even though it requires basically zero explanation given what the movie just loving shows us already in the first few human villain scenes and it’s not like the old Showa films ever gave an explanation any more complicated than “it’s aliens!”

Saw GvK

you know how like a month ago I was like "The human stuff in KOTM was bad but it didn't detract from the overall movie for me because of the love and care put into all the kaiju scenes"

Yeah the human stuff in GvK absolutely killed the movie for me. All I could think of how to describe it was Big Michael Bay Energy where everyone is a miserable gently caress who doesn't seem to like each other and every line of dialogue is either clumsy exposition or unfunny jokes. The Madison subplot was a giant waste of time that felt like it only existed because they had to have Millie Bobby Brown in the movie and I legitimately cannot tell you the names of any of the characters in the Kong subplot.

I didn't care for the human material in KOTM but GvK did what the human segments in a kaiju movie should never do, which is grate. I also don't think the fights or kaiju animation were as good as KOTM either, so it didn't even really have that going for it, though I did enjoy the final fight a bit.

I absolutely disagree every single human character in this movie sucks way worse than anyone in KOTM because they're all trying to speak in pithy dialogue and none of it lands at all

I mean they cast Julian Dennison in their movie and then give him nothing to work with? The gently caress are they even doing?

Oh it was incredibly stupid but I'm not going to judge a movie where a nuclear-powered super lizard shoots his laser breath at an axe wielded by a giant monkey so they can defeat an evil robot version of the lizard haunted by the ghosts of a three-headed space dragon.

I legitimately forgot Brian Cranston was in the 2014 Godzilla until it was mentioned in a GvK review I saw this weekend, and I can only imagine how much better all of these movies would’ve been if he’d been around for more than those first 20 minutes.
