D-Pad posted:Movie was great. It sucks it had to come out with the pandemic where it is now. I know it had pretty good opening weekend numbers but it deserves to be a much bigger event in the zeitgeist then it is because *gestures around* It set a new record for Labor Day weekend, what more do you want

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:Gay relationships in American movies are censored because of Americans. Russians and Chinese do not care about it to this degree, if they did, it wouldn't matter because they could just cut the scene and release the literal children's movie as-is. It's fraught and contentious because of Americans.

If you look at the most contested/banned books in America throughout recent years, with the exception of 2020 like 90% of the yearly lists tend to be books with LGBT characters in them.

The impression I get from seeing the trailer a double digit amount of times at this point (I am gonna be glad when the movie is out if only because I'll stop seeing that trailer at the theaters!) is that it's a movie about posing in beige fields and also explaining why the Eternals decided not to get involved with all that Thanos stuff. The latter of which is that specific kind of continuity cop nonsense that I think sucks! I generally dislike MCU stuff but at least with other trailers I can understand what people are excited for. I genuinely can't get a read on this one.

Simulation883 posted:It feels like Marvel had a few chances already to bring in the multiverse earlier without much finagling, like the snap caused some interdimensional nonsense, which was Mysterio's backstory in Far From Home, but then that was shown immediately to be fake. Honestly now it's a bit confusing to me, now there are multiple timelines as we've seen in Endgame/Loki, which seems to be different from the What If...? realities, and now there's the upcoming Spiderman movie with a different type of multiverse? Spider-man is gonna introduce us to a multiverse and then Doctor Strange is gonna show us what happens if there's a multiverse of MADNESS

Tankbuster posted:I don't think chloe zhao is known for coordinating action scenes. They've had instances where the director doesn't even get to touch the action scenes (Black Panther most famously) so it doesn't even seem like lack of experience in that should make a difference compared to the usual standard of action scenes in the MCU.

Venom 2 being a brisk 90ish minutes made it easy for me to overlook a lot of things that would have rubbed me the wrong way were it over 2 hours long. Resulted in one of the better times I've had with a recent superhero movie.

Everyone posted:I skipped No Time to Die mostly because of Knives Out. Because there was just no loving way a Bond film was going to even approach the chemistry/alchemy Craig and De Armas has in that movie. Good news: De Armas is in the best part of the movie by a mile and it works well because their chemistry is fantastic. Bad news: She's only in it for like 15 minutes.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:People don't fail to choose the "abolish prisons" option because they are stupid, but because it isn't an option at all. Yea. There's polling out there that has revealed that yeah, if you ask "What should be done with criminals, put them in prison or nothing at all?" people will overwhelmingly say the former. But if you give them a third option for something that doesn't involve imprisonment (like say, community service) then the responses will be a lot more mixed.

Chairman Capone posted:That's a weird interview. The part about the Keaton role being changed due to special effects either comes across like the director is covering for the studio with the weakest excuse possible, or if that was actually the case then that's the stupidest reason ever. The way the interview ends sure makes me think the studio changed a lot of stuff and he doesn't wanna burn any bridges. quote:Again, like I said when we started, I am a huge fan of Safe House. I’m huge fan of Life. I’m sure you’ve seen the reviews for this. This doesn’t feel like one of your movies and I’m curious, was this what you turned in? Is there something else? Because it feels like at some points, there’s some scenes missing. I don’t believe for a second this is what you turned in.

Crackbone posted:Snyder doesn’t have a cult of personality, he’s divisive because he has an incredibly strong creative vision which generates strong reactions. heck, telling people who like his movies that they're part of a cult is a pretty dang good way to get a negative response since that's hell of a loaded term to use.

Neo Rasa posted:The weirdest thing about it is if they did stick with Snyder's general plan they would have introduced their Thanos-equivalent/etc. before Infinity War came out. Like they had it perfectly laid out and blew it. Suicide Squad also though, it getting cut up a lot based on reactions to a single trailer. Like just a total lack of the left hand knowing what the right hand is doing that's completely absurd. I will never stop being bewildered that the final cut rights for Suicide Squad went to the company that made the trailer. Utterly insane.

Detective No. 27 posted:It's legitimately and unironically great. It started out as "political" Family Guy. I remember hating the pilot back in the day. But it ended up being way zanier and way funnier than it had any right to be. I don't even think there's a specific moment where it "gets good." It's just always been on a steady quality rise. Their Christmas specials are always a highlight because Christmas is a terrible time for the family. One of them is an Escape From New York parody where the Anti-Christ is basically just The Riddler. Yeah it really improved after the first season or so when Family Guy properly came back so they could do their own thing instead of trying to be slightly different Family Guy.

The Doctor Strange week 2 drop-off was a similar % as Spider-man and Black Widow (in fact they're very close! All in the 67% range). I think it's just that most people who wanna watch a MCU movie in theaters wanna see it asap.

Mordiceius posted:For me, one difference is that (most) manga have an ending. There's a lot of western comics that tell a story from beginning to end and some manga that are content to never end, but by and large that's the gist of it if by western comics you mainly mean stuff that DC & Marvel puts out.

The tax write-off argument could make sense for Batgirl which cost $90 million and could potentially cost more to make possible changes to it, but it's wild that they're also doing that with a completely finished animated Scooby-doo movie that cost less than half that.
