    Star Wars: The Bad Batch

    Mainly that the Rebellion doesn't have money? And the Empire probably would find out too?

    Army of the Dead (2021)

    Dunno. Plot holes were glaringly distracting without any analysis and did diminish the enjoyment from the movie. Like GoT Season 8 people suddenly teleporting all over the world. Tenet did a reasonably good job of distracting you / hiding the flaws on casual first viewing. Yeah, it comes apart...

    Army of the Dead (2021)

    Yeah. Seems like the main pitch for the movie was the opening "Las Vegas Zombies / Viva Las Vegas" sequence with a bunch of Elvis and Stripper Zombies, which also included 98% of the more unusual/gory/inventive zombie-kills. The rest was pretty forgettable and not even terribly...

    Loki

    Maybe already getting a bit old for a multi-movie Bond contract? TH is 40 now? Probably mid-40ish by the time a new, potentially his first Bond would start filming. Daniel Craig was 37-ish when he did Casino Royale?

    Love, Death & Robots

    I quite liked Zima Blue for what it was. It had a nice arc and actually hit the "Love, Death & Robots"-theme pretty well. Ice wasn't nearly as good IMO.

    Love, Death & Robots

    Yeah. With different spellings though. Not sure what the point was.

    The Green Knight (2020)

    Um. just no. Cleopetra's lineage was fairly specific and there is an argument that she was lighter-skinned (then 99.999999% of all people she ruled over). But the med wasn't majority white, certainly nobody native to the area around Jerusalem/Bethlehem at the time and probably not even the...

    Love, Death & Robots

    Dunno. Pop squad was one of those I was expecting "more" from, not least because it is a reasonably interesting (though probably not super-original) set-up.

    The Green Knight (2020)

    Lol. Not even close.

    Love, Death & Robots

    Yeah. Definitely a weaker season. Technically awesome, of course. And some episodes started really strong, lots of potential, but none truly landed as the best episodes of season 1 did. Still, don't regret watching them.

    The Green Knight (2020)

    Yeah. Shit's outrageous. Imagine some idiots picturing a middle eastern guy like Jesus with blond hair and shit.

    Tenet (2020)

    Sure. But if you do an accident with a normal car, it would just crash and flip normally, roll down a hill normally, etc.. it follows the normal laws of gravity in the time line. Similarly, an inverted guy could pick up a non-inverted gun and shoot it, but from the perspective of the inverted...

    Tenet (2020)

    The car clearly "un-crashes" from wrecked to driving for the people watching in the normal timeline. So the car must be inverted. Only an inverted driver could not reverse the sequence of driving -> crash -> wrecked car to wrecked car -> crash -> driving for the car itself. The Saab also...

    Tenet (2020)

    Well, quite a lot of people spend way to much nerd-power trying to explain the "inverted Saab" in particular, lol. But sure. That's a bare minimum leap of faith you have to do for this movie even on the first watch. I.e. one "artefact" the Tenet-team must've found at some point in the past...
  15. Z

    Tenet (2020)

    Sure they do. Otherwise there'd be no way the car on the highway would be able to do a reverse-crash. Lol. That's one of the main trailer-action-scenes selling points of the movie.

    Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021)

    I liked Tom Hardy and the Venom-interaction in the first, though the final CGI battle was a bit shit. If they keep the former and improve the latter, I am on board.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Like quickly throwing together a time machine after doing the dishes? Not gonna be easy to top that level of mary sue for the ol' Reed, lol.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Presumably Captain America 4 as the movie announced after TFATWS? Not sure if that's realistic?
  19. Z

    Tenet (2020)

    How so. Wouldn't everything where the reverse-Nuke would/will explode be reverse-radiated thousands of years into the past before the reverse-nuke exploded? We'd "know" where at some point a reverse-nuke would go off, as the land would be un-inhabitable since the dawn of human civilisation. As...

    Shadow and Bone

    Gay identity in the modern sense, sure. It's a more modern innovation. But so is the idea of man-women relationships being somehow the "default", the "norm" or "nature" prescribed by god and/or a natural order. As is the concept of mostly christian-inspired monogamy, which for example in the...

    Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)

    Which is fine. Never said Captain Marvel was a stellar movie. But there was a pathetic tribal aspect to some people's attempts to go out of their way to "spread the message" of how Brie Larson and Captain Marvel was the end of civilisation or whatever, that just didn't exist with ... dunno ...

    Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)

    I never said people hated those characters/movies because they were women. I said people hated those characters/movies because it became the thing that right-wing sheep do when some Breitbart click-bait or whatever-chan troll-post stirred up another random huff-puff-outrage based on a random...

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    Well, he did mine a lot of comedy out of it back in the day ;) To be fair, I imagine all those lizard-riding and alien-stadion mass-lightsaber battle scenes etc.. must've been pretty wild if you're just standing in a green room trying to act them out.

    Mortal Kombat (2021)

    Not sure why that would happen? Venom isn't in the blood of a venomous animal. You can kill a Rattlesnake or whatever and eat it, no problem.

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    Turd or not, content-wise, Falcon and Winter Soldier was the first Disney+ show to utterly crush Netflix. WandaVision couldn't. The Mandalorian couldn't. Whatever else Disney has going couldn't. TFATWS could. It definitely gave the mouse a super hard-on and will get renewed for about 87 more...

    Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)

    Not really. Didn't need to kill the human torch to make him Steve Rogers either.
  27. Z

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    Yeah. Not sure I ever say Bucky in serious trouble. If anything the opposite and he's a bit too much of a Mary Sue. Not only surviving falls from planes or 10-story building before punching out half a dozen super-soldiers at a time, but also hacking Apps and whatnot which seems awfully out of...

    Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)

    There've been thousands of shit movies before those. And thousands of shit movies afterward. Watching a disappointing movie is one thing. Probably happens fairly regularly if you're watching movies regularly. Trying to desperately to stir up some kind of fake outrage over some alleged SJW...

    Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)

    Sensitive Trumpers getting triggered by a non-white lead and desperately flailing to make it a political statement to hate the movie like Last Jedi or Captain Marvel will be half the fun in this, lol.

    Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)

    Yeah. Looks like a Kung Fu movie on a Disney budget with the obligatory Marvel quipping/comic relief, which is a formula I can get behind. I am in.

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    So she'll be the Nick Fury of Villains or some such?
  32. Z

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    Well, it's not that secret. There were giant space ships hanging over New York and such in Infinity War, even before they launched an Invasion at Wakanda, a literal minute or so before the blib. Make the link to the 2012 Alien invasion of Avengers 1, and it's not much of a stretch that these...

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    It's a fun and plausible-enough theory about plot changes. But ultimately just that. A YouTube-theory.
  34. Z

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    Well, better go full retard then and have somebody randomly invent time travel after doing the dishes and go back in time to fix it ;)
  35. Z

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    Well, but he shouldn't be (at least if they stay somewhat faithful to the comics). Sam Wilson's Captain America is supposed to be a more flawed hero with more doubts, questions, etc.. . Not saying the actor couldn't fuck that up as well, but if he and/or the director/writers aim to write his...
  36. Z

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    Yes. So what? That's also how it is in the comics. Steve Rogers as Captain America is the ultimate ideal. And others taking up the shield have to content with that/struggle with that/each in their own way. John Walker in the comics is the character written to take on a toxic...

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    Budget (despite disney?)? I mean the Episode 1 sky/helicopter chase was fun, but probably more expensive than all of Wanda Vision together. Maybe even Disney doesn't want to blow a movie's worth of money on every single episode? Reminds me a bit of Umbrella Academy Season 2 in that regard...
  38. Z

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    Pretty sure there needs to be a fisty-cuffs between him and Sam to mirror the comics. A) It's Marvel, so it needs to end in either a fist-fight, a sky-beam or both. B) Ultimately, it's Sam's story arc/superhero origin story 2.0 to become/feel worthy of the shield/title, so in classic heroes...

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    Why the hell would they want to go down that road? Did Ultron or Thanos just bow out for personal reasons? Or even evil-Ant/Yellowjacket Man? Ironmonger? Killmonger? etc.. Comic book villains don't really work that way, lol. Of course there's gonna be a comic-inspired slap-down between Sam...
