It's really great to see how pumped people are for Black Panther, and how front and center the marketing is for it now.

What's the remaining stone to be shown? Soul? Of course the black guy's got that one.

Man, the whole galaxy and three of them just naturally end up on Earth (then Loki brings a fourth). What are the odds?

Just fought the king of moogles. That was extremely charming for a scenario where I basically murder the god king of a bunch of adorable fairy tale monsters.

I'm kind of curious about how much the Infinity War trailer is leaving out. We have Stuff in New York, stuff in Wakanda, Stuff in Space and stuff where ever Vision and Wanda have run off to. We don't see a lot of crossovers between the characters though. Tony, Strange, and Wong aren't in Wakanda, but Banner is, and no one in Wakanda is in New York, again outside of Banner. But then I figure the same people are cutting the IW trailers as cut TLJ trailers, which revealed very little about what was going on in the movie.

I saw the trailer for Infinity War again in the cinema yesterday, having not really rewatched it a lot since it came out. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens in the movie but I feel a bit more  about the trailer. Have to say, though, the main Avengers theme music has grown on me with the passage of time.That being said, it was better than the trailer for the next Jurassic Park movie, which looked pretty poor.

DC made the Earth where all of their Earth-One stories happened (basically the "main" Earth, the one with all the main superheroes) basically the load-bearing Earth in which all the other Earths relied on to remain stable/exist. Like basically in the Orrery of Worlds there's an upside-down hourglass which contins all the universes, and Earth-One is the one at the very bottom - so if Earth-One is destroyed, then the universe is destroyed, which means all other universes in the multiverse are also destroyed as a result. This was pre-N52, mind you, but as far as I know it's still canon. For Marvel I think it's brought up why exactly Earth-616 is constantly targeted by various demonic/alien/metaphysical/etc invasions, and it was explained as like, some universal force of attraction or something that called all sentient beings to it? I remember it being explained by something, somewhere, but I don't remember what.

The trailer proclaiming that "cinematic game-changer Steven Spielberg" was going to bring to life "Ernest Cline's holy grail of pop culture" (there is not a  big enough on the Internet) was easily the biggest groaner of my trip to see The Last Jedi. I think seeing that up front went a long way to desensitising me to many of the issues with the movie itself.

I saw TLJ Friday and Saturday, so I got hit twice. Cline is a hack and the embodiment of white nerd privilidge; if a woman of colour write a book that was literally "hey remember the 80s?", no one had even thought about publishing it, let alone herald it as a masterpiece.

What's the issues with Cline/RP1? I don't know much about the movie other than a trailer full of licensed characters that were distracting. I know a lot of people like the book but I got irritated at the nonstop 80's references and explanations.

Most of the complaints I've heard are basically "it's a book about how having nothing meaningful in your life except consuming the media people sell you and making that the basis of your identity is super cool."

Yeah fair enough, it was pretty shallow. I didn't really like it all that much and felt like I must have been missing something with how other people were talking about it. I can see how the relationship with the protag and female lead would relate to a lot of people, not necessarily in a good way. Hopefully the movie tones that down and turns out as an entertaining spectacle at least.

Either that trailer showed the whole movie, or there's one HELL of a second act. I'm holding out for Chris Pratt getting preserved in volcanic ash and being revived in the future as an exhibit at Millennial Park. Edit: on the bright side, my TLJ viewing had a trailer for an animated Spider-man movie doing Miles and the spider-verse. CG animation like that always looks weird to me until my eyes have a chance to adjust, but cool beans. Bruceski fucked around with this message at 02:47 on Dec 24, 2017 |

I think it would be funny if it turned out that actually this poo poo happens to pretty much every civilized planet at about the same rate, or that maybe the Infinity stones subtly influence things because they want to be together.

Thanos is just a slave to his appointment book. Never any time off, as soon as he fails to destroy one universe it's time to head off to the next one to go through the dance again. Really regrets that theater degree now; he thought he'd be pushing boundries of entertainment and expression, not running the same gig night after night.

I also am not hot on seeing Venom but that's more my disinterest in the character more than because he was poorly done already. I agree with this, after the wonders they worked with Vulture of all people.
