Yes, the problem with endless sequels is that it was too many IPs

Endgame cost 350 million to make, why is it not good?

Things were so much better when we had normal mainstream movies like Die Hard 2, 3, 4, 5, Jaws 2 , 3, 4, Matrix 2, 3, and Friday the 13th 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9...

IMO nothing has really changed and we still get a few great movies every year same as any other year

To be fair the “cinematic universe” concept takes this poo poo to another level. And Endgame makes approximately 0 sense if you haven’t seen like 15 other films whereas some Nightmare on Elm Street sequel pretty stands alone.

Because it is a marketing vehicle first, a distraction second, a cinematographic tech demonstration third, and a story like 40th.

American comics are just flat out inferior to manga, by a huge margin. There's breadth and depth of manga is crazy, you could read nothing but manga about the preparation and enjoyment of food and never run out. Meanwhile American comics are 80% superheroes, 15% sci-fi and fantasy, and 5% terrible memoirs written by 28 year olds about how they almost had sex in high school and were sad in college.

The Killing Joke is a great comic, so great that every comic I have attempted to read since has bored me.

what, as opposed to the currently most popular genre of manga, which is boring virgin nerds who play too much games getting violently murdered and waking up in a video game world where they have five different wives at the least? i think they call it "isekai" which probably translates to "incel" in japanese

american comics are boring and marvel barely gives a poo poo about them any more, any superheroes before the 2000s already have all their best stories to pull from for the movies, meaning that whoever is currently writing any captain america comics can just make it about loving nothing because nobody's going to read the comics that won't be integrated into the MCU. any heroes after the 2000s like Kickass can get a good first movie loosely based on the then-developing comic, and then a sequel nobody will care about.

When it comes to leading to good movies (not just entertaining to watch but actually good) they are pretty much identical, in the sense that neither of them have ever done it. Just keep them in their books.

I can’t call the Fullmetal Alchemist movie good, per se, but it’s a fun watch. Delightfully japanese. In a fun way not a 12-year-old girl/1000-year-old succubus way.

It’s better than Endgame.

It lost loads of money in theaters, but got enough of a cult following that it did well in DVD/Blu Ray sales to mostly recoup I think. Not well enough to get a sequel despite everyone involved seeming to be interested.

It was an amazing movie, shocked me too that it did so poorly. I think Urban was talking at one point about it being turned into a TV series but AFAIK it may be a long way off, if it happens at all :(

These giant rear end implants that celebrities get now look monstrous. It is beyond me how anyone could see Kim Kardashian, Nicki Minaj,or Iggy Azelia's giant fake rear end and not think it looks like some sort of deformity.

I'm an rear end connoisseur, and I agree. Not a fan of the "giant rear end" trend in general. Having defined glutes that you get by working out is great, but they should be proportional to your body. And definitely not fake rear end implants.

Agreed, but only if “personal trainer” and “terrorist” get the same jurisprudence

Yes I have moved. No I don’t need a trainer. Yes I exercise. Yes I know how a leg press works. No I don’t have any fitness goals. Yes I have been squatting for a decade and failed at injuring myself the whole time. I don’t need help. Yes. No. I’m fine. No. Not even the free session. Please. No.

The trainers at the Gymbrary will be different because they won't be trying to sell you a membership or anything


Because physical fitness is important but gyms are often too expensive.
