The Satan from that one panel where he is like "HOOYAH IT'S ME SATAN!" and the lady is like "So?" is the best or worst comic Satan.

Moon Knight is absolutely going to be doing the now standard Marvel hallway fight scene while “Walk Like An Egyptian” plays.

That’s fantastic casting, wonder if they’ll add any additional D+ content to their slate since the reorganization happening at Disney. Maybe they’ll just reup Falcon and Winter Solider and some of the initial D+ for more seasons. Even with that number of shows the content doesn’t stretch that far, since apparently they seem to be short six episode seasons. I’m guessing they would at least like to get 5-6 live action MCU shows throughout the year. That way almost ever month in the year has new MCU content.

Didn't Oscar Isaac say he was really vehemently against doing any more Star Wars (or am I thinking of just John Boyega)? Seems kinda weird to just jump over to another giant Disney franchise but hey whatever

I'm with Vince MechMahon on this one. I dislike Disney as a whole, but there's no denying that the Marvel side of things is managed a lot better (and with a much kinder eye towards cast and crew) than the Star Wars camp. What I'm saying is that Kevin Feige needs to hire Collin Trevorrow to direct Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur.

I've never heard a bad word about Feige and yeah, even though they're under the same umbrella, Marvel has been managed way better than Star Wars.

When people start talking Star Wars I think I live in a different universe than them. I've seen all 10 Star Wars movies and I think they're all about the same quality to me. I don't have an real attachment to any of them and I think they are all goofy films that are just fine. The only difference I see in them is the technology at use in them. The only one I think that stands out more than the other is the one without all the Jedi stuff in it and that's the one with Diego Luna and Donnie Yen in it. EDIT: Yeah the Disney show is better than any of the films I'd say.

9 had some interesting *ideas* in it, but they were almost all either: 1- half baked bullshit that needed to be wedged into existing canon. 2 - presented as "this is now a thing you didn't know but is obvious to the characters". But the dumb definitely drown out any of the good.

Watched a number of them. Didn't get it. I saw Last Jedi in theaters when it came out. I thought it was really fun and interesting. Then like a week later I saw ~the discourse and decided Star Wars just isn't my thing. Clearly if I only like that one, the franchise is beyond me.

I imagine there's a pretty big generational breakdown at play here. There's a wide gap between seeing Star Wars when there's never been anything like it before and seeing Star Wars when it is already an accepted part of global culture that everyone knows something about and has this reputation as a legendary franchise.

That was 5 years before my time but I saw the rerelease in theaters late 90s because my dad wanted me to experience it the way he did. Still enjoyed the movies, but I don't recall caring differently from the VHS tapes. I remember when I showed Alien/Aliens to my brother and his response was "they're good but I've seen clips, homages and parodies so many times that it doesn't do anything for me." I think that's where Star Wars falls for a lot of folks.

Star Wars strikes me as the distilled essence of nostalgia marketing. Just all promises of recapturing the magic from when it genuinely was unlike anything you'd ever seen before, while necessarily being exactly like everything you've seen since. Every installment with a designated Cute Mascot specifically designed to push emotional buttons so people will make gifs for free advertising and so it'll fly off the shelves at Christmas. Mind you I haven't seen one since Ep I but that's the very strong impression I get from both the marketing itself and the reactions of people. It's never about the plots and themes of the movies themselves and very little about the new characters but mostly about what happens to those characters we already know from decades ago. This one's got Han Solo in it and the next one will have Luke Skywalker and thank god there's CGI or we would have dug up Carrie Fisher for a cameo if we'd had to. all that being said I might watch The Last Jedi sometime cause Rian Johnson knows what he's doing, Knives Out and Looper were excellent so yeah that one's probably pretty decent at least.

Yeah, he wrote the tenth episode (where I think the Shade gets namedropped the first time). Stargirl's really fun. I mean it is what you say you're not interested in, but it's very watchable and gives us a very apt depiction of a teen in that Courtney is very dumb in a teenage way.

It's got a structure, set up, pay off, and clearly had some amount of care put into being at least internally consistent. Episode 9 is so bad it's the one movie I can think of other than poo poo like Manos where I need to go full Scorcese and say not only is episode 9 not cinema, but I'm not actually sure if it even qualifies as a movie because other than "being moving pictures projected on a screen" it doesn't have anything a movie needs.
