Yeah I was seeing a lot of people dunking on it on twitter to score dumb points in how the MCU is the poison of the film industry etc. I could buy that it Feige trying to convince a bunch of Disney suits to loosen the purse strings

Infinity War/End Game cost over a half billion dollars to make. Purse strings aren't a problem. This is just another variation on the director bullshit game Marvel (and all movies really) like to play before a film gets released where they talk up some aspect of the film as novel and inventive.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

How much money is made making everything in computers/greenscreen? Is it really that much?
They already throw up greenscreens everywhere because putting one up is much cheaper and quicker than actually building a castle or whatever for the set.

The whole thing in The Batman with his bat symbol being made out of the gun that killed his parents really feels like something a kid comes up with and thinks its the best idea, why hasn't anyone done this before, and then they finally get to the point they can do it and no one can stop them.

Black Widow has probably been done since 2019, so i don't really have an doubt that is coming out. Just Disney needs deal with its not going to be another box office record breaker. But both those filsm, they just always have felt like vapor wear. Black Adam specifically. Here is a character no one cares about, and if they do, its in conjunction with Shazam, who we've already gotten a good movie out of. I have a theory someone in WB online team saw someone say "the Rock would make a good Black Adam" and ran into some execs office, showed them that comment and they promised the Rock the part and they'd build a movie around it. He is going to be the star of his own movie, and not the villain in someone elses.

Venom is a character that unless he's interacting with Spider-Man I don't really care. I never bothered watching the movie because the trailers didn't interest me and everything i heard about it sounds like I can skip it. But I know a lot of people, younger, comics fans love Venom. But I've never met anyone who goes "my favorite character is Black Adam".

After WW84, my optimism for the DC films has gone way down. The only movie they have coming up is Gunn's Suicide Squad and that's only due to to Gunn.

Venom is an awful movie but Tom Hardy goes so absolutely gonzo with his performance that he salvages it.

Venom felt like an early 2000s comic book movie which I had thought we stopped making by like 2008-2009.

Like it wasn’t terrible but it definitely wasn’t good.

Yeah. You also realize just how much the costume really needs the big white spider symbol to break up the monotony of 'black blob with teeth.'

There's 40 minutes of fun stuff in Venom where it is a bit like a werewolf film where the werewolf part has sassy dialogue with the host. But a lot of the rest including the first act and finale are pretty dull.

The finale was almost interchangeable with 100 other comic book movies made pre-Marvel Studios. “Oh boy, here’s an almost identical symbiote that is almost the same color as Venom for him to fight!”

The worst choice in venom, discounting divorcing it from Spider-Man, was having him fight another symbiot when you KNEW you were planning on having Carnage in a sequel.

Don’t get me wrong, this is the first movie that really ‘gets’ how the symbiote suit would look/move, but that’s really the only highlight. Hardy is fine but I feel like he’s going ham to the point where you really can’t take anything seriously.

It's why he took the role I'm sure, Tom Hardy only does movies were he can do a ridiculous voice, even if it's not necessary to the script he'll just make one up.

It's also a very badly edited movie and you can have some fun playing "spot the obvious splice jobs".

My favorite bit is how they find half a dozen symbiotes clinging to an asteroid and then thirty minutes later, one of them claims to be the king of a planet full of symbiotes and absolutely nobody sees any reason to mistrust that statement.
