Bro Dad posted:I made fun of Zack Snyder around my dad and he started gushing about the justice league recut and how Hollywood is putting down a real auteur They're right, and cool, and cooler for being cool and old, although the main problem with the GitS casting is that Scarjo is a bad actor.

POWELL CURES KIDS posted:addressing the very real problem of whitewashing using a film about the mutability of race, culture, identity and the soul in the face of literally dehumanizing capitalist oppression is mid-tier that isn’t why they cast her or why she took the role though. also that’s not how it was perceived by its intended audience, so even if they did mean to do that, which they didn’t, they failed porfiria posted:the main problem with the GitS casting is that Scarjo is a bad actor. that’s also true

They may be less interesting to criticize than woke consoomers these days, but I still remember how annoying people who defended commercial works from accusations of whitewashing were five or ten years ago. There was plenty of psuedo-leftist rhetoric then also, in service of Hollywood's endless trash. I rather not see these works rehabilitated.

its funny they put a KIDS DYING warning on Stranger Things when its escapist pablum meanwhile the beginning of Obi Wan is legit upsetting and its bad twice over between watching teachers trying to defend their students from murderers, and knowing this is based on prequel lore trash i once imagined a revamped prequel trilogy based on Darth basically being a talented child used and abused by elite neolibs (Jedi) into becoming a weapon, sacrificing everything for their idiotic goals and becoming a reactionary extremist bent on rising in the ranks and murdering his superiors. basically a combination of The Forever War and Gormenghast with lightsabers Durf has issued a correction as of 08:46 on May 28, 2022 |

I remember pod racing. Disney, make a one-off special for a fake live pod racing championship complete with color commentators. Bonus points for an alternate voice track in an unintelligible alien language.

the prequels would be cooler if they were about the republic jedi culture degrading into the sith and then wiping eachother out in power struggles instead of just being owned by palpatine

every pop movie villian is basically just CRAZY for no reason. it the motivational equivalent of 'mental illness' for mass shootings and the rare times a good point or justification for their actions sneaks in, in the last act they suddenly decide to murder people or shoot a blue space laser to destroy the universe and the hero supercops are justified in ending their nefarious schemes

Xaris posted:yea we were talking about that a few weeks ago lol. black panther and nu riddler has to be one of the most comical examples, even bane. disney writers loving suck rear end I would argue that the closest marvel came to an interesting villian was the dude in Civil War who lost his family to hero bullshit and made the supercops and war profiteers turn on each other, and was so devoted to his cause that when achieving access to the supersoldier program he decided to just kill them all in their tanks tho later on i think they just turned him into a nazi or something

the film's on fairytale logic by that point. both batman and the cops have to go through this extreme hardship to emerge transformed as not a bunch of assholes. bane isn't a real revolutionary because Nolan literally doesn't believe you can have real revolutionaries. nu-riddler being a generic anti-government guy who turns out to be leading a right-wing militia was pretty passable, even if his plan didn't make any sense

The heroic Gotham police had apparently gone too far in some non-specific way Is there any hint of it in the movie other than them chasing after Batman?

The sewer thing is funnier when you realize that a city the size of Gotham should have tens of thousands of police officers. New York has over 30,000, for instance.

The Scarlett Johansson casting was bad because her acting is generally not great, but the biggest mistake in my eyes was not casting Holt McCallany at Batou The guy not only looks like him but also sounds oddly close to Richard Epcar's voice in the dub, it's such a bizarrely good fit imo
