Obviously bad auto correct or whatever, but the media that EEAAO reminded me most of upon watching was the rapid fire resets episode of The Good Place.

EEAAO reminded me of The Good Place as a whole, using goofy jokes to explore deep and emotional themes by the end.

I really have to give The Good Place another try. I bailed early in the first season when it seemed like a silly but forgettable show. But I've heard about the season 1 twist, and what they do later in the show, and that all sounds amazing, so I really want to give it another go.

I know exactly the show you were worried it would become but it's super impressive for a) never settling into a formula and b) somehow never dropping the ball despite shifting more or less constantly.

I think his refusal to do alternate takes for a potential CGI Grogu saved that show.

No fooling, I was pretty psyched for the Doctor Strange sequel movie before seeing EEAAO and when I finally did, was really let down by it. Like, outside of the multiverse jump scene, we only have really two alternate universes and they're nothing special, nothing like Hot Dog Fingers Universe or Rock Universe.

I think he played a wizard kid at some point, early in his career. Must have been forgettable.

I enjoyed it enough, but I also just wanted to appreciate the Raimi-ness of it.

I was talking to my neighbor about it, she hated it and has never seen a Sam Raimi movie so she just kept being like "why does movie look like this? Why would someone direct a movie this way?"

Yeah by far the most interesting thing about this movie to me is the people who hate it.

Like, the movie is brilliant, it's post-Marvel, post-Matrix Kurt Vonnegut, there's nothing in it that isn't brilliant.

But a lot of film people just *hate* it. I really want to understand why. It isn't just the maximalism, the same people often love Luhrmans Elvis. Is it the crass humor? Can people really just not handle potty jokes in their art?

My guess is the "flavor" mismatch between "goofy kungfu fights between improbable fighters' and "actual, serious, philosophical perspectives on reality.

e: the Matrix had this mix too, but all the karate fights were in the Matrix ("well, that's OK, it's not quite reality is it") and everything had a more sleek and simpler aesthetic, as well as everyone being dour.
