The other studios are likely gunshy both because no-one bit on the Bond deal MGM were shopping, and the backlash Warner got from the HBO Max thing. Plus Sony and MGM don't directly own a streaming platform that anyone would actually use.

I still think Disney will end up going the Raya route of a simultaneous theatrical/Disney+ Premier Access release with Black Widow and maybe Shang-Chi, if only to avoid another domino effect of delays across the MCU. Maybe that'll prove to be wishful thinking, we'll see, they probably won't make any decision until at least late next month.

Speaking of going straight to streaming just a reminder that if you have HBO Max and haven't watched WW84 you're running out of time as it was only going up for one month and that month ends Sunday.

OK, I just started watching WW84, am about a half-hour in and good lord they've coded Cheetah as hella gay haven't they? I mean Wiig is about a U-Haul comment away from ticking all the boxes in her first scene alone. (To clarify, this isn't a criticism in and of itself. Hell, Rucka made her queer in the comics also, but I don't have much faith in DC/WB actually engaging with that meaningfully in a worldwide movie release)

I think it's more that they have used the same character archetype as a lot of gay characters in media use and people are influenced by that.

Yeah, I interpreted it as just a very lonely and insecure person who saw someone she admired. But I can see how you'd interpret it as her being attracted to Diana.

If it was Chris Pine or Pedro Pascal helping her pick up her spilled papers, and everything else was kept the same, would there even be a question?

I mean there still wouldn't have been anything overt and there wouldn't necessarily have been the "I want to be like Diana" thing. And you've got at least some similar flirtation with Max lord so I dunno. I can see it but I can also not see it.

Just re-watched Man of Steel for the first time in several years. Initially and for a couple years afterward, I came away liking the movie because it showed the type of raw destruction that superpowers would have on a world, unlike in Avengers or Avengers AOU. But having recently re-watched Avengers, including the deleted scenes, there are scenes that were shot that attempt to humanize the destruction and get the POV of someone other than the Avengers. The waitress that Cap talks to at the cafe is later saved by Cap in the movie. We get that whole sub-plot with two cops trying to save people in the midst of the destruction, one of which is played by future AOS/Agent Carter co-star Gjokaj. Whereas it is mostly glossed over in MOS. Yeah I guess the Daily Planet people get a bit of "man on the street" perspective, but it also seems they're mostly there to observe Supes and Louis. But one scene really bothered me on this re-watch, and it is something I don't even remember being in the movie when I saw it in theaters ages ago. The scene of Supes going through the mountain range after (I think) getting his suit for the first time. It almost feels like some studio exec or producer was like "Hey, this movie is pretty dour. Put in a fun "discovering your powers" type scene, like in the first Spider-Man". But unlike Raimi's Spider-Man, it doesn't really seem like Supes is having all that much fun going through the mountain range, and by this point in the movie and in Clark's life, he's already used his powers several times. It just seems really out of place.

I understand the complaint that Clark has already used his powers a ton in the movie so it undercuts things, but the flying scene is like, the only scene in MoS I actually think is good, so

The flying scene feels weird because it's framed like a symbolic awakening, a heroic transformation, growing from child into adult...except that Clark doesn't actually awaken to anything or transform at all. It's a scene of Clark putting on the costume of his new identity, of him successfully utilizing powers that he'd never been able to access before, of him becoming Superman, shedding the doubts that followed him from childhood so that he can truly fly on his own... ...except he doesn't. One scene later he's still the same fearful man-child he was earlier, grousing to Lois about how he has to do what Daddy wants, refusing to move past his fears and regrets. The flying scene -- for all its exciting visuals and literally soaring music -- might as well have not happened. It made no meaningful impact on the character.

Return of the Caped Crusaders was fun. The start felt a lot like a "modern best of" kind of thing of the old show maybe leaning a bit into being a parody of what people remember the show being but then it went places I didn't really expect and got into examining Batman as a character more than you'd think something like this would You can definitely hear the age in the voices of West, Ward, and Newmar but I'm really glad they got them back for this. Looking forward to watching the Shatner as Two Face one now

It is a symbolic awakening. Not a transformation, but a transfiguration, a revelation of his otherworldly nature . He's not a child or a teenager, he's already an adult, and he's already a heroic person who spends his life rescuing people. However, he's spent some 20 odd years wondering about who he is and who his parents where and why they sent him away, and now he knows and understands who he is, what he is. Learning about his heritage doesn't mean he is now automatically free of doubt, or free of fears that humanity would reject him. It's just that now for the first time he can embrace his heritage, having finally understood where he's from.

He doesn't "embrace his heritage" at all. The moment the scene ends he's right back to hiding. His conversation with Jor-El might as well have never happened; he's the same scared boy that his father made him, and literally never grows out of it. Like...that flight scene should have been the moment where he grew out of it, and it isn't; at the end of the day, it's just a hollow display to take the place of any character growth. Clark puts on the Superman costume so that he can...decide not to be Superman.
