Film the actors reading the script in the meeting room, act like this is the first time it's ever been done like they pretended Black Panther was Marvel's first black superhero movie when the Blade trilogy already existed.

Hey guys first time poster long time lurker just here to say I think I usually respect the gang’s critiques but obviously this time they just recommended Kid Detective because Adam Brody is Jewish and mike and jay are running low on child brain juice to make them live forever so they needed to plug it so they’d get more Brody brain juice

Questions, comments?

Has anyone watched that cursed Sia film "Music" that is getting the autistic community really (justifiably, it seems) mad?

It sounds absolutely horrible like to a trainwreck degree. I wonder if the boys will take it on. Probably not, definitely could be a trap.

the most remarkable thing about this whole gina controversy is, for someone who apparently made such a denigrating social media post about jewish people that the mouse had to give her the boot (according to disney sources anyway), that she landed a new job within 24 hrs via a very, very, very proudly orthodox jewish man

The first 3 episodes of WandaVision was pretty good since you get a feeling everything is slightly off during the sitcom stuff, along with a few scenes of weirdness mixed in, almost like a "Too Many Cooks" vibe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrGrOK8oZG8

Then they introduced agent "Rambo" and generic rear end in a top hat army dude and everything got a lot less interesting. It's still pretty much the only thing to watch on Disney+ and the episodes are short enough to keep you engaged so its a 8/10.

The problem is that the generic rear end in a top hat army dude is in the right. It doesn't matter that Wanda is sad about Vision's death. That doesn't give her right to hold an entire town hostage, while tormenting them. She does need to be stopped.

yes, but have you considered the following:

quote:

Narrowing this down, the ‘cult’ is very specifically one of fandom, and 'sacrifice’ is presented in terms of devotion to (and ersatz affiliation with) a media franchise.

The film symptomatically presents the conflict as one between sheer totalitarian brainwash and “the free market of ideas” - in the literal sense that people purchase and consume speech. No gray between.

Consider how the ending celebrates the multitude of opinions presented on cable news, but not the content of those opinions. It’s “Fair and Balanced”. Consider how Loki is essentially spotted by a Youtuber, brought to you by Google. The wireless camera trick is social networking taken to a logical extreme, and the content of that network is Marvel® character Loki™. By making your own videos about The Avengers, you are making The Avengers stronger, right? Maybe they’ll give you a reach-around.

The meta-franchise reading is well-supported by the text. In a continuation of Captain America and Iron Man 2, these characters are not only superheroes but brand names, with diegetic lines of merchandising. You wonder if they’ll ever broach the topic of whether Steve Rogers gets residuals for his likeness appearing everywhere.

As noted before, the film is celebrating the way that fans 'participate’ in a franchise by generating content for it. This logic is applied to the role of social networking in the augmentation of a surveillance society, of evangelism in augmenting a church, and it’s pushed to an extreme with Coulson’s baseball cards. Coulson inserts himself into the Captain America franchise in every sense.

So what is to be sacrificed? Obviously Marvel doesn’t want real-world fans to literally die in the service of The Avengers, as Coulson does. But they can sacrifice their money on merch, and their free time on viral marketing. They can contribute to its record-breaking grosses. In return, they get sequels to every film, and a chance to 'turn off [your] brain via popcorn fun’.

This is all extra troublesome, since the sole alternative presented by the film is rape.

Marvel is simply carrying out the same manifesto they've had since Avengers 2012. Regular people are nothing, and in fact utterly disposable, in the orbit of these Brands™.

That was always the case with superheroes even before the Disney ownership/movies were a thing. Comics have villains that mass murdered people get redemption without any real consequences because they became friends with a superhero and helped them out.

She's also the one who got conned into selling her music via some cryptocurrency service. I say "conned" because presumably someone convinced her that it was a good idea and would make money. It could have been her own idea though.
