Watched TMNT: Mutant Mayhem. Fuckin' loved it. But the villain revealed their plan of mutating everything on the planet, like it was a good thing for mutants, because it would eliminate humans. Yeah. It'd eliminate mutants too. Every bug, every fish, every single thing being even half the size of a human would destroy the planet. Not only would the necessary space mean that you literally couldn't move, even if things didn't crush themselves, the ecosystem would be destroyed and they wouldn't live much longer. Forget humanity, everything would be dead. Annoys me that no one brings that point up.

I figured it's the classic Magneto from the X-Men move: make everything X so you're not in the ostracized minority any more.

Or much like Sauron, he doesn't want to cure cancer, he wants to make people into dinosaurs.

I mean, if he cured cancer while making people into dinosaurs, I'm pretty sure he would just have unlimited wealth at that point.

Dinosaurs never had the cancer, it wasn't invented yet, that's why sharks don't get it.

I like Oblivion a whole lot. It has a fantastic look and vibe and the actors bring a great energy to it. But it very much feels like an European sci-fi comic you rent from the library that only has most of the issues, and some very exciting issues just aren't there. Never mind the invasion of the army of Tom Cruises that apparently swept away what remained of earth's defenses, I wanna know what happens after the end because there is bound to be more than one more Tom Cruise left. That specific Tom Cruise was searching for the hut because he met the other Tom Cruise, but what happens when the other 500 or however many Tom Cruises start leaving their posts? Also, the surviving Andrea Riseboroughs are going to go through some interesting times now that their emotional anchor in the Tet is gone. I wanna see all that, where is my Oblivion 2?

I fiiiiinally finished You season 2 (after the episode Just the Tip, where a mob thug STEALS JOE’S loving PINKY squicked me out bad enough to put it down for years). My IIMM is that there are apparently like two more seasons with another final one coming?!?  Like…even ignoring how perfect and fitting the season 2 finale would be to wrap up the whole show really nicely…how the gently caress can they come anywhere near the insanity of the last three episodes? Even guessing one of the major twists (I mean, it wasn’t super hard - Henderson straight up warns Joe “Love is the fakest one of all!” before he falls down the stairs and dies) it was still pretty mindblowing how it all played out. I just don’t really see how it can try to reach that peak again.Also the whole “noted-child-predator Chris d’Elia-playing-a-child-predator-and-not-for-the-first-time” thing is hosed to hell.

Why must people start yelling/shouting for help and turning their lights on when actively fleeing from underground monsters? Even the kind that can't see can still hear you, especially in such an echo-y environment, so stop acting so shocked that they end up finding you.

Watching the Marvels movie where they have to remove some magic bangles from the villain's arm. And all I can think off is "why not remove her arm?"

Captain Marvel, who is now strong enough to reignite a star without effort, having to go hand-to-hand with a bunch of mooks on multiple occasions and unable to defend a Skrull colony from attack by half a dozen small craft. Absolutely adored Iman Vellani, but everything else in that movie was just dumb.

Ghostbusters 3 2 How are Stay-Puft Marshmallows still a popular brand when a giant version of the mascot rampaged through NYC in the 80s, anyway? No such thing as bad publicity I suppose. Also how does EPA Agent Walter Peck become mayor after that colossal fuckup

stringless posted:Ghostbusters 3 2 They briefly touch on this in Ghostbusters 2, which I do not blame you if you don't remember, where Ray and Winston are reminiscing and mentioned that they got sued by anyone and everyone, after the events of the first movie. I could easily see Peck spinning the disaster as a predictable result of ignoring his guidance, crafting a narrative which leads him to success in politics.

Also Peck is like, only a bad guy if you're some kind of libertarian - he turns up asking to assess the environmental impact of ghostbusting (an entirely new industry using experimental equipment) and noted sex pest Peter Venkman fucks him off purely for the sake of it

The IDW comics that go on from the original movies take a funny tack; the Ghostbusters basically get nationalised and Walter Peck is put in charge of them. He does actually try to do his job.

I think they've basically thrown the 2016 movie out the continuity window which is why Murray is not dead. And also the guy he played in the 2016 one wasn't Venkman. Also my IIMM is that whenever I watch Never Say Never Again (which is more often than it should be) I think that William Atherton is in it, but it's actually Gavan O'herlihy
