lmao if they did retcon it as another reality that Dr. Strange saw. It's either going to be that or they will continue the plotline through a movie of a superhero people know.

quote:Wouldn’t the Eternals be better off engaging in more down-to-Earth pursuits? If Zhao’s film has any saving graces, it’s that there are some interesting snatches of characterisation amid the common or garden superhero mulch. The idea of a standalone movie starring Kumail Nanjiani’s Bollywood A-lister Kingo or even Henry’s gay dad Phastos (certainly in the hands of a genuine visionary such as Waititi) somehow seems a lot more palatable than Eternals 2: Let’s Meet Some More Blimmin Eternals. This is very tiring to me.

Waititi is good but he's going to be stuck with Disney forever because it makes the big money and Disney is trying to get good grace by keeping around a well-liked director.

My only complaint about them is that the Midsommar: Director's Cut 4k Blu-Ray doesn't have any other features or the theatrical cut of the film. The packaging and art was really cool tho.

Christian works better as a character when he's not as overtly lovely, and his decisions seem to be coming from a place of never considering how his actions/lack thereof might affect the people around him. I looked it up afterwards and basically every scene that was added was in the first act of the movie, and mostly Dani and Christian being a couple whose relationship is falling apart.

Judakel posted:i've never seen cgi blood look good The best it can possibly look is unnoticeable - it doesn't take you out of the movie by looking like fake, cgi blood. Conversely, the best practical effects/squibs can possibly look is very noticeable and, even knowing that it is fake, fooling your mind into going "WHOA HOLY poo poo THAT GUY'S LEG GOT BLOWN OFF!!!"

I hope not. I hope instead we get a Metabaron tv series or something that isn’t quite as likely to be completely gutted and rendered monochromatic, at least that would kinda fit the Metabaron sagas

Judakel posted:i've never seen cgi blood look good I thought it looked pretty good in Too Old to Die Young, and even Only God Forgives, but they're also heavily Refn-stylized movies so it's okay. likewise, John Wick uses it and it's in an over-the-top sort of graphic way that's alright but not great. but yes, nominally its usually very bad.
