Another victim of Snyder Derangement Syndrome, so sad. When will someone put a stop to those dastardly Snyder bros enjoying movies that have been empirically proven to be bad by the worlds top leading movieologists? Have they not harvested enough victims?!

I've been curious about one piece, especially after I saw the live action series that was actually pretty good, but I just can't get over how...anime it is, for a lack of better term. The kind of lame slapstick humor, the extremely overexaggerated expressions at said slapstick, the way it always pans to reaction shots everytime someone does something even mildly impressive...
It's like it doesn't trust the audience to know what emotion they're supposed to be feeling at any given time so the anime heavily emotes so you're sure how to react. It's like those "applaud" signs with sitcoms with a live studio audience.

I've been on twitter too long to assume someone is arguing in bad faith when they might just be stupid. I'd say it's even odds for either

I watched two movies today, War-Gods of the Deep and The Marvels.

War-Gods of the Deep was a lot of fun. Vincent Price as a menacing sea captain, lots of Jules Verne style turn of the century scuba suits, mermen, actual guys in full body merman costumes swimming around and getting into fights the Jules Verne guys, big classic cave sets, a Scottish man with a chicken. Just a fun olde timey sci-fi time.

The Marvels was a bit of a mess. It serves as a sequel to three things; the Ms. Marvel show no one watched, a minor subplot from the Wandavision show, and, and this one's the largest factor, a Captain Marvel movie that does not exist. Like, do you remember at the end of Captain Marvel, Captain Marvel says she's going to go gently caress up the Kree for being bad guys? And then that's just never mentioned again? Well, we discover through flashback like half an hour into this movie that she did do that off screen between movies. She destroyed the giant computer that ran their society and was their god, and also boiled their seas, wiped out most of their atmosphere, and extinguished their sun. And this movie is about one evil Kree lady trying to steal other planet's oceans, atmosphere, and sun in order to save the Kree homeworld.

These fuckin late era Marvel movies are trying to do way too much poo poo.

Wait, Captain Marvel committed omnicide offscreen?

Wikipedia indicates she just killed the god computer, and then they had a civil war that torched their atmosphere, dried up their seas, and crippled their sun. So still sort of but not exactly and then she fixes their sun at the end

Oh so it's just good old US interventionism then. Perfectly in line with the Air Force mascot, actually

Oh, it's 100% getting leaked, which is why I haven't read that summary.

Last I heard it was literally deleted off the WB computers and servers. Unless someone pulled a Zack Snyder Heist and stashed a copy on a usb or something, it's gone forever.

Yeah, those files get moved around so much between the studios and various post-production houses that I would be loving shocked if it was completely gone everywhere. Maybe whatever servers WB manages directly have deleted it. But there is no way it is gone.

That's certainly optimistic, and hopefully true. It's honestly despicable that they're able to get away with destroying movies like this, so I really do hope we'll get to see it and the other movies they canned some day

Traveling through Europe: I shall simply purchase a train ticket to my destination

Traveling through America: Well, I consulted with the three-eyed crone and she said "Best ye not speed through Seguin, lest it be the last place ye are seen" so I guess we need to look out for speed traps after we get through San Antonio.

Lol, lmao if you think you can easily purchase train tickets for a trip across europe

Just for clarification, this is a hassle because each country has its own rail companies so you have to basically buy a ticket for each country you cross. So from spain to poland you’d have to buy a ticket from like spain - paris, then another from paris to berlin, then berlin to warsaw.

So no, one does not simply order one trans-european rail ticket, unless its some sort of queer circuit party

The source of this is from Umberto Gonzales, who made his career being a mouthpiece for higher up WB suits and pushing whatever agenda they're having this week. I wouldn't take it too seriously
