Admitting that you watch Pre Rec is a good self own, so I'm still claiming the moral victory here.

However, you are technically correct. The best kind of correct.

Ready Player One is gonna be the last movie Spielberg is ever allowed direct for cinema.

So after the success of the Guardians of The Galaxy movies, I guess all Marvel movies are going to skew heavy on the comedy now.

Not that I'm complaining, at least it's something new that could make superhero movies slightly interesting again.

As much as I hate making a genuine contribution to a discussion about contemporary nerd culture.

Thor was part of Marvel's cosmic universe created in no small part by Jack Kirby. The whole style of the cosmic universe was very vibrant and different. It seems that Marvel studios are using the cosmic universe as the place where their movies can be fun and look and sound interesting.

(I am aware how dumb "cosmic universe" sounds)

That Thor/Guardians 3 trailer actually makes it seem like a fun movie. Being such an obvious copy of the GotG style is a bit distasteful but I'll overlook that if it's actually entertaining. It still has the superhero pinball fight problem though. I guess Thor vs Hulk is supposed to be like a cool "holy poo poo two of our strongest heroes going against each other" moment, but it'll just turn out to be a cgi snorefest where neither character is able to harm the other.

Also shame to hear Valerian sucked. French scifi comics seem to produce a lot of cool visuals that get turned into awful movies. Still gonna eventually see it, but then I'm a sucker who has seen Immortel multiple times.

Thor and Justice League and Ready Player One all look awful and dull to me. I cannot find any excitement in my withered soul to watch a CGI green man fight a CGI big bad wolf. Maybe I just don't like movies anymore

as much as cgi is lazy nowadays and i really wish the genre would wither and die there is a vast gulf between what you saw in the justice league trailer and in the guardians of the galaxy 2.5 trailer.

I'm, too, upset that Thor and Loki are humorous scamps like they've been depicted in everything for close to 2000 years.

I think they're both finally using Kirby as a strong influence in Marvel movies for once, and his gonzo poo poo is what made early Marvel so psychedelic and cinematic.

I enjoyed it but drat did it have problems. Could have been way better. The world it depicted was pretty cool though and the basic story wasnt that bad or anything. Clive Owen was alright. Main leads werent great though and way too much cliche dialogue between the two of them.

It's loving awful pandering "hey remember the 80s?!?!" white nerd teenage boy power fantasy trash, but I won't judge the movie on it because the bones for something decent could be there with the right screenwriter and director. You'd have to change a lot of the tone and provide some reason for why a lot of poo poo happens but that's adapting a movie for you. If we can get Starship Troppers the amazing satirical movie from Starship Troopers the weird pro-fascist screed, anything's possible.

I would say this would not be the same thing. Starship Troopers is weird and fascist, but atleast it is kind of a good book.

Also you say whie nerd teenage boy power fantasy, but the guy who wrote it was like mid-30s when he wrote it.
