John Boyega got hosed over so hard and it's 100% understandable that he'd be pissed.

I mean admittedly so did every actor who wasn't Adam Driver but Boyega more than most.

I think everything about Doc Ock that isn't Molina's performance is bad

Then he punched through with an extended arm while holding the guy closer to him. I admit it's a dumb framing and way to show it, but I never went "oh that guys dead" more than I do in any combat scene in the Arkham games where you're crippling people and then leaving them in trash cans in an abandoned city during a horrible snow storm or whatever.

Interesting that you would call a movie centring two black, disabled voices 'racist'...

They can legally compel you. If you refuse service you can be sentenced to jail.

You are trying really hard to get preemptively angry about the idea that a murderous dictator who actively does horrifying things and has tried to take over or destroy the entire universe of multiple occasions might in fact be a bad person. American Bad doesn't mean you have to stan for the dude who was perfectly fine with total atrocities.

To add to that ^ super-heroes work through metaphor, often broad ones, which is why real-world application often can miss the forest for the trees and why they make for good children's entertainment (though yes, not exclusively). Joker seems to represent the horror of random cruelty, the fact that something terrible can happen to you for no reason, that people can do awful things for the sake of pure nihilism or just out of the joy of cruelty itself. As Batman lost his parents to a pointless act of cruelty you can see why that conflict becomes interesting, especially as Batman also works as a metaphor for turning life defining trauma into something constructive. There is no evil figure like the Joker in real life, or a heroic figure like Batman, but they kind of communicate concepts that we do recognize from our lives. Like, you can't be Spider-Man in real life, no one can, but you can stand up for people and poo poo.

I'm still wary because of ScarJo's "I should play anything!" weird thing, but yeah, this is going to end with a settlement.

I do wonder if they are going to drop the D+ premiere experiment all together.

I just really wish they had made Carnage a brighter more vivid red. We're gonna get stuck with two muddy blobs fighting each other again. I also wish they hadn't used a symbiot in the first movie because this is basically more of the same.

I'm excited because I want venom to kiss himself again and also watch woody go bananas

That's almost worse than rumors of having a small donger, because now you take your pants off every woman is going to go "wait, where's the giant horsecock i was promised?"

Is Javelin's javelin anything special in the comics?

I dunno about this. While being extra creepy and having a hosed up look aren't exactly great add-on traits, Joker's biggest problem for the last... since Jason Todd died is the mixture off his willingness and ability to kill literally anyone, in ludicrous amounts, and his implausible level of competence and resilience.

Him getting into tedious circular philosophical arguments with Batman isn't half as annoying to him, a a dude in clown makeup, somehow turning into the lynchpin to several apocalyptic scenarios

It has to be the weirdest stunt casting in a video game. I refuse to believe anyone bought mk11 because she was in it.

But also, with her and the director, folks tend to hold it together better, even on junk action movies. WB PR must have checked out, maybe folks aren't terribly worried about cutting ties with WB, which has really jerked folks around (Batgirl being the biggest example), or maybe filming during the pandemic was as lovely as it sounds.

There's also the LEGO Movie or Wreck-it Ralph but I picked Fortnite because in everything else the brands and IP and what not are only ever side characters, cameos, extras, or background detail. In Fortnite it actually is Goku vs Walter White as the main characters.

Its weird because there's just this one generation of Superman movies that's like "maybe Superman is actually a moody dude who doesn't necessarily seem like he wants to be a hero?" So now Gunn's just trying to reset expectations back to the standard idea.

Even the stuff starring Perlman? I can get the Harbour movie.

Soonmot posted:

Bit of a derail, but do we have a thread for the writers strike? I looked in D&D and CD and nothing stood out to me.

It almost feels like they are taking the big game hunter, poacher, rear end in a top hat, character traits and giving them to Crow's character, so we can identify with Kraven and empathize with him. Oh no, you see, he's an abused child, he doesn't want to kill these dangerous animals, he respects life and nature and probably votes liberal.

Aphrodite for God's sake, quick, express faith in the Fantastic Beasts franchise! Use your powers for good!

In November 2022, Variety reported that Warner Bros. Discovery had no Wizarding World films in active development and was not in "active discussions" with Rowling regarding the future of the franchise, leaving the future of the Fantastic Beasts series in limbo.
