Here are my issues with the D&D movie trailer: 1) The humor blows 2) World-ending stakes blow blow blow 3) A better D&D movie would lean into a retro 80s look and feel in its vibe and production design The third one is my problem, the first two are the movie's problem. For once I just want the stakes of one of these fantasy properties to be about stealing a treasure or killing a big skeleton guy in a dungeon. I guess that just doesn't feel "epic" enough to justify a movie in the eyes of some studio executive, but it's way closer to what an average D&D campaign's story and scope is. First season of The Witcher kinda had that vibe, but jettisoned it for subsequent seasons. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 16:50 on Feb 21, 2023 |

This discussion is making me remember how much I enjoyed Zero Charisma. If they were ever to do a "players get sucked into the game" thing, basing it on that sort of group dynamic would be the only way I think I'd be able to enjoy it.

I really liked No Time To Die, apart from the length. It felt like all the grim self-serious stuff finally had some self-awareness behind it (but not ironic distance), especially when mushed together with the campy-turned-somber 70s Bond tropes like villain secret island lairs and such.

Yeah, as someone who has experienced panic attacks that are practically hallucinatory, it's very easy to understand how someone expeiencing that would justify it as supernatural.

Season 3 was a huge drop in quality and season 4 followed suit for as much of it as I could manage to watch. I'm definitely done with it unless I hear it completely reversed course. A shame, the first two seasons were the funniest thing I'd seen on TV in ages.

Chairman Capone posted:I remember people on this forum arguing that Peyton Reed was an improvement on Wright. That might have been the first time I truly realized how truly mind rotting brand worship is. Keep in mind that Down with Love is fantastic and in like '05 he said he wanted to make a FF movie in that vein. So I think a lot of people had a very different idea of what an MCU Peyton Reed would look like.

Shaun is a very fun movie that's solid throughout, but rarely touches greatness. The folks I've talked to who really revere it seem to be people it hit hard for in high school and that elevates it for them. Folks who I've talked to who discovered it later don't seem to hold it in as high regard. That being said, it's still top-tier compared with other comedies from the past few decades.

But what if consumers get confused between your product and a prior product? What about new consumers who never saw the origin story in the prior product?? If they're confused they won't purchase merchandise and memorabilia!!

Hire no-name actors from all those Christian and direct-to-video movies? Social media stars? The return of shadow puppets? They'll make a lot of reality TV.

The movie is absolutely not going to make its $300m budget back, and I'm not sure how Disney ever expected it would. I would love to see more well-told stories with that character in that universe that I adore, but I would rather they just let the property die than get a bunch of terrible lowest-common-denominator Content slop until I die. Maybe if we're lucky, they'll stop being precious about the license and we can at least get some decent spinoff media created by people who are passionate about it every once in a while. Does that new video game we haven't heard anything about in like two years have any chance of being good, assuming it comes out?

Chairman Capone posted:When Crystal Skull came out Dark Horse put out a really bad and heavily abridged adaptation, plus an original 1930s-set comic that no one read, and that was it. True it's never been as popular, but I would think it's at least as popular as the Alien universe and that has constant spinoffs—and many of them apparently quite good, like the TTRPG supplements. Hell, even Blade Runner got a new TTRPG, 3 different comics, an anime, and is getting a live-action show all in the past few years. All after a box-office failure of a modern sequel. As for those comics, Indiana Jones Adventures was really well done and a ton of fun—exactly what a good Indy spinoff should be in my mind, if a bit slight. Sure, the fact that it could only apparently support 2 volumes isn't a great sign, but I also think they were poorly marketed and came out at just the wrong time. My dream would be to have something like The Batman Animated Series done for Indy, just episodic adventures that took inspiration from 30s adventure fiction and that Fleischer Brothers Superman and such, but I don't think the market would bear that sort of thing these days. Doing an animated series for Disney+ that goes for the same audience as, say, Duck Tales would seem like a better fit in my mind than comics or books or a more serious show or whatnot. It is pretty perfect for video games. If this giant AAA game doesn't go over well, maybe they'll let someone make a retro point-and-click adventure with it or something.

Ugh. Yeah, some day I'm going to have to give it another shot. But I'll probably just do what I did last time and swap back to the Max Headroom narrative series. Which is pretty great, actually. If you're seeking out 90s cyberpunk schlock, at least. There's one episode that has a hint of a Nemesis feel, the one where they blow up a giant-rear end factory that was being demolished.
