Interesting thing about the scene in 2 "How about Dr Strange?" "That's a great name, but it's taken!" They actually might retcon that joke to be a real reflection of Dr Strange being in that version of the universe

I LOVE that moment, the tiny implication that Robertson knows what's up. It's never followed up upon but it is better that way. It ties into that moment later when JJ purchases the abandoned suit, you silently see Robertson holding the mask in a manner of real worry.

So we watched Zack Snyder's Justice League and we concluded it made a lot more sense, but it does drag a bit at some points.

I hate that Robbie doesn't get more time in the movies, he was always one of my favorite supporting characters. Also he sounds so hilariously sad that he heard Spider-Man was there. Anyway,

I think it's amazing that they build Cletus up as a genuinely frightening serial killer, but once he's out and gets his symbiote he turns into The Mask. What a wonderful film.

Since we're all talking up Venom 2, I wanted to add that Anne's fiancé Dan was a perfect subversion of the usual tropes you'd see in lesser action / superhero movies. He wasn't written as either an rear end in a top hat who hated Eddie or as a saccharine doofus, he helped move the plot forward when needed, and in the end he also risks his life to help Anne. All that thankfully allowed no real hint of WILL EDDIE GET ANNE BACK no of course not, she doesn't hate him but she's an adult who moved on and found another guy and Dan rules.

Yep - I liked the same thing with Bobby Carnavale's character in Ant-Man. So many times you have the new stepdad being some kind of antagonist like Liar Liar or Mrs Doubtfire or something - but he's just presented as a guy that cares about Cassie and isn't pointlessly butting heads with Scott beyond what he has to for his job.

I only just saw the first film the other week and was shocked when Dan didn't turn out to be a slimeball purely because Veep Dan is so ingrained in my mind whenever I see him. Him being nice and helpful felt like a fundamental law of the universe being broken.

Getting back together is never his goal, no. He just wants to see his kids again. Williams and Carrey are garbage and deserve to lose in those movies really, though. Especially Mrs. Doubtfire, he tries to poison Pierce Brosnan in the restaurant.

Similar character: James Marsden in Superman Returns, only character I even like in the movie. Or Judge Reinhold in The Santa Clause series which I am hereafter referring to as superhero films

It was a fan fic film to a movie that was nearly 30 years old. Routh was imitating Reeves more than playing the character of Superman/Clark Kent. It felt like an unnecessary sequel if anything else.
