And at least Bohemian Rhapsody is old enough to be considered "a classic", as opposed to X Gon Give It To Ya, which just made the Deadpool trailers feel outdated.

I don't know about that, but it's very appropriate given the character and movie have connections to the X-Men.

I didn't know ghost riding the whip was still a thing. Either way, bit of a weird poster for that kind of movie. You'd think they go for something more nostalgic.

I guess that this shows they aren't going for irony and actually think that making a mature adult POWER RANGERS movie will get them automatic cash, don't even need to put the name on the poster people just see five kids and a vague thunderbolt and people will feel loving inspired to throw money at it and get excited to see the drat POWER RANGERS

honestly unironically aiming for serious and inspiring for adults with this is probably more infuriating than grim and dark. The show was never inspiring. It was a calculated and soulless show made to mesmerize and excite six year olds but not be good for them.

The only way this could've worked was if they played it silly and there's now no doubt that they are not aiming for that and want to be taken seriously, if not by the content of the poster but by not having the title and expecting instant recognition instead of being so generic they'll think it's for some ya novel adaptation and walking past it without noticing there's five characters or a thunderbolt.

It's like if they tried the same posted only with Barney the Dinosaur and unironically expected that since adults pay for batman and iron man movies they'll be inspired to see the the tagline "you're his special friend", it's like incredibly dumb.

Nostalgia works on a 20-year cycle and the kids who grew up with Power Rangers are now young adults with disposable incomes. It's like how Bellbottom jeans came back in the '90s and how they're trying to bring back JNCO jeans today.

They never bring back the poo poo I remember from my childhood the most, like The Snorks, or getting hit.

It's still weird remembering growing up at the turn of the century and hearing a 'variety' station finally opening up to mainstream hip hop, following the crest of the Eminem wave. The thing is though I don't remember thinking of it as anything other than indistinguishable from, like, Blink-182's "I Miss You." Not in terms of content, but literally my compulsion to listen to it but not really become 'interested' in it, actually paying attention to the lyrics, etc.

edit: Suicide Squad is looked forward to for the album alone. It's interesting to see how its conspicuously deprecating, even 'hip hop Jackass-type' soundtrack is gonna compare with the incredibly formally similar Guardians of the Galaxy mixtape. It literally features Eminem's "Without Me," to get the 'period' they're going for. I'm eager to hear how Panic! At the Disco covers "Bohemian Rhapsody," and comparing it to My Chemical Romance's cover of "Desolation Row."

The 'soundtrack' has become a post-modern art form of sorts. Like, the Watchmen soundtrack is almost as good as the director's cut of the film itself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0RKpmjjpLQ

Those are two legs of Immortal Records' OST trilogy, each of which combined two of electronica, hip-hop and rock. It was completed with Blade II.
