ad astra need to either be the insanity of the monkey scene or keep the weird vibe of the mars scene for the entire movie. it just felt pretty and halfbaked otherwise. a moonbuggy shootout should not be that boring. also applebees.

It felt really weird that there were like 10 people and 2 city blocks in the whole universe though she’s under house arrest for most of the book. its not like she would have much chance to take in the sights she does go to that diner that explodes i agree in general it felt a bit empty and could use some fleshing out. enjoyable enough read

infernal machines posted:it was kind of neat the way mandalorian was just a sci-fi adventure show that happened in the star wars universe. then someone at disney noticed that people liked it, and decided that what they'd like even more is if they made the show star wars instead. which is a shame because star wars itself has like 20 people at most in the entire universe, across maybe three planets. it's a tiny place to tell stories, and frankly the good ones were told four decades ago its being run by george lucas’s handpicked successor who was responsible for a ton of prequel eu stuff. it was never not gonna end up like this.

overall i hated endgame but its wasnt surprising as it perfectly encapsulated a marvel event comic: too long, too many characters for anyone to do anything, confounding and infuriating plot beats, a few cool spreads, and writing themselves into a corner they have to deus ex machina or time travel out of i hope they do another birds of prey it was good H.P.

FAT32 SHAMER posted:the loki series was honestly very good for a serial, and i am approximately 0% invested in any kind of comic book superhero poo poo the marvel movies were really good at capturing the feel of the marvel event comics and the general marvel comic tone (overly convoluted and forced to stick to a unified tone), so if they can keep that trend with the series then i expect that, like the comics, thats where they will let writers have freedom and all the good stuff will be i will never watch a tom holland spiderman
