seems like a really inefficient way to criticize a movie rather than just you know criticizing the movie directly

ww84 had pedro pascal being fun, kristen wiig ragdolling cops around, ancient artifacts hidden in a mall
then wonder womans own arc is just a weird but extremely earnest homage to the directors dead dad where she finally gets to show her dad the wonders of the modern world but ultimately has to come to terms with his death and that wishes wont bring him back

everyone then went insane over it because when the movie opens with the entire mall scene asking you to suspend your disbelief theyr like:
No superheroes are serious!
quantum leap reference? more like rape!
oh so just because she kicked a defenseless man to death shes a villain? thats victim blaming!
saying wishes wont help anything is reactionary and personal attack on me!

it even had that bit where WW rescues the wooden doll children from being killed by the IDF (theyr techjnically egyptian or something but theyr heavily armed dudes putting up a big wall, its pretty clear who they really represent)

imo it was certainly a hell of a lot more entertaining than the awful first movie which people seem to like for some bizzare reason
no it wasn't good, its a superhero movie, but it was bad in a unique way and defending the movie annoys people so ill do it, god help me!

it wasn’t fun at all unless Pascal was on screen imo. when Kristen Wiig is beating up her would-be rapist they shoot her from below and play sinister music. gently caress outta here

agreed with both these things. framing wiig as being a bad guy for defending herself against a rapist is just loving bizarre

killing the defenceless is generally considered bad unless you're a totally badass poster ofc

he cant possibly harm her and she stops in the street to sadistically beat him to death in front of her friend

i dont think it was a very complicated scene, but this is why movies shouldnt just put attempted rape in everything as cheap drama

I didn't like the message of "Wanting to change things is bad"

For example, Kristin Wiig does everything right: she's an otherwise accomplished person having trouble with the way her life is going, so she reaches out to a person who seems to have her poo poo together, and models her behavior accordingly. This is exactly the right thing to do: make a friend, find out how that friend accomplished what she has, and then do similar things.

But, because wanting things to change is bad, Wiig is instead transformed into an animal and gets the poo poo beaten out of her.

The don't wish for things message was just the director coming to terms with her dad's death and he's not coming back. She talks about it in interviews and the whole gal gadot plot makes way more sense thru that lense.
It's a super weird thing to make a wonder woman movie about but that's why I think it's a bit more interesting than just a bog standard cape flick

The rest of the movie is just a basic critique about capitalism and greed. It's not about wanting a better world its about wanting more and more endlessly and believing a snake oil salesman/ thinly veiled trump analogue can give you it if you just give him what he wants

if I need to watch director interviews for a movie to make sense it’s a bad movie. and it isn’t a critique of capitalism lol. also she can’t direct action for poo poo which is her main flaw as a superhero director

The mall scene begs to differ, that's some great trash action compared to most marvel stuff imo.
She's gliding around like an angel and throwing a guy into a big drum while giving thumbs up to beaming children lol
I appreciated a different take on the genre and its extra funny when the next WW film has her bashing out the brains of "a small group of reactionary terrorists" which was also a good ww action scene

Oh also the scene where the 300 Spartans are angrily attacking the ancient amazon lady who is smugly invulnerable behind her big gaudy armour was also a very funny visual

And "its from my culture"

Like I say its trash but it was memorable in places, I remember it washing some other marvel movie out of my brain I'd just seen that I still don't remember now.
It's certainly better than like black widow or winter soldier or whatever grey stuff there is.

I can't remember anything about cat-Kristen though, just that she wishes herself into a worse form cause she didn't realise she hit the jackpot with WW powers lol

Don't know where the idea that it wasn't a critique of capitalism comes from though, did you watch it? It's insanely on the nose. It's not deep, but the whole endless greed is destructive is the main theme of the whole plot

I guess we just fundamentally disagree on what good action is cause to me that was horseshit with all the cuts and dolly movements, it was diet shaky-cam. that’s what you do when your actors suck at action (which Gal was at least competent at in the FF movies). also the set looked like it was dressed that morning with poster board and construction paper (as opposed to the extras’ wardrobe which was perfect)

dune was decent but suffered from feeling like a bunch of scenes from the book stapled together and sped up to hit the movie time. cinematography is the subdued style that villeneuve and nolan are known for and more fashionable than the garish Lynch version at this point but i suspect won't hold up long term

chalamet and zendaya are a worse paul and chani than maclachlan and young.

probably book accurate but having traitor dr yueh speak in actual mandarin as a secret language was funny

can confirm sure green book does an eye rollingly bad racial role reversal but i at least kind of cared about the characters every so often

argo is a uniquely baffling project in that it somehow manages to make distinct characters so incredibly boring there arent any actual dramatic stakes
