 Eternals I've never personally felt that the Eternals were a good fit into the Marvel universe, so didn't feel any particular way about it being announced as a movie. The trailer, however, actually wound up looking really good. So of course I came up with some pet theories that were never...

I think of this reply a lot when I think of fancasting. There are some fans who have a wide range of viewing experience and can say "I want the guy from that Canadian lumberjack show to play Wolverine," but most of the time it just seems like they want to keep recycling the same people...

It took six seconds of Andor shooting his contact in the back to give me all the burden he's been carrying in his fight. You're right that Natasha needed something similar. I'd say her and Loki's performances in Avengers when he just name drops Dreykov's daughter was powerful enough to sell...

I honestly wasn't even sure Supergirl would have superpowers in this movie, so that's something. I'm not really crazy for hot mess Supergirl, but i get the value in it and can wait and see. But also on my list of things I'm not interested in are □ intentionally dark alien settings, □ another...

I tried to say this but couldn't summarize it as well. Once they decided to make a cinematic universe, building up to a huge finale, they locked in *these* portrayals of the main characters. Obviously allowing for replacements for general douchery like scuttlebutt describes Terrence Howard and...

Again, fully agree. The reason Marvel even chose to make Avengers movies is because they'd already sold off the rights to their actually popular characters. The whole brand is built on bottom shelf heroes. In general, I found that the Avengers got satisfying conclusions to their stories in...

If it hasn't been mentioned yet, Lima has a pre-order over at BBTS. Clicky

I am really right there with you. Part of me thinks that I should just shut up about it and let the excited people share their excitement, but most of me is an absolute curmudgeon who can't stop lamenting what I could have had. I mean, of course I'm going to see it. And there's always a chance...

People actually became suicidally depressed from the first movie. That's the kind of Thing I'm wondering about. Are people still "if I can't be a space-cat person, I don't want to live!"? I don't really have my thumb on the pulse of that fandom.

Is Avatar still a Thing? I know there was an obsession with it when the first one came out, but does it still have that same following?

At full price? What a rip off.

I confess, I don't know what I think this show is about anymore. Like, I know what I thought an Academy show would be like, but I don't hate the idea of a training cruise to free it from the restraints of an Earth campus. But are the crew also main characters? I'd assumed a season would...

And since we're on that topic anyways, I don't actually have any big changes in mind for my fanfic version of the Multiverse Saga. Nothing that I haven't already mentioned in the review, at least. I have had a rethink of the final fight, though, and if there's one thing I would change just...

I'm definitely heading down the path of those Snyderverse Bros. Ditching the Kang throughline entirely was such a huge derailing of the Saga. Release the Council of Kangs Cut!

Or, and hear me out, MCU Secret Wars has an appearance by the Squadron Supreme starring that exact same cast. I was wondering if the Phantasm's story still holds up after you know who's really under the hood, but it's been a while since I've seen it, though, and couldn't really articulate it.

I'm down for the "not so many" mandate, but, like I've said many times, I also wanted a "let's move on" mandate. Shelving their new character so they can give an old character* a 4th movie is neither sustainable nor welcoming to new audiences. I'd be interested in knowing what their plans were...

I noticed on my rewatch that when Mama Li first uses her tai chi to catch all of Wenwu's rings, they took on the same golden glow as they would when Shang-chi was using them. I don't know if that helps with his taking them over, but it seemed to work before. You're probably right. I was...

Surprise! Johansson's actually playing one of three characters sharing the identity of Batwoman.

 Almost had me. But I will admit that I forgot to add Xolo Mariduena to my list of good casting choices. He was pretty good. I don't know if I've ever read a Tom King comic, but I'm just going to take people's word for it that a story about Supergirl with no powers getting drunk was a good comic.

I can at least say I'm glad you like it, I suppose. I find it too fantastical in the way a brain just recognizes when something doesn't hold up. It's the spaceship equivalent of when actors drink from empty coffee cups. So my whole thesis is just the something designed and built entirely...

Everything has its fans, I suppose, but I am firmly on the side of Snyderverse = Yuck. I generally did not like what they thought Superman, Batman and Flash should be. Or Captain Marvel. Or Joker. Just across the board their character interpretations weren't characters I wanted to see. Which...

You know what I mean. CG allows them to do whatever they want, while a model would require some actual structure and support. Considerations that make it feel real. I'm sure they spent ages on that alien ship, but that time doesn't translate into believability.

That teaser is just Milly Alcock in her regular clothes and people are eating it up.

Some good stunts when everyone was being blown to shit. On the other hand, though, why have a half-Klingon, half-Tellarite villain if he's just going to act like a human? ("Origami chicken?" The hell?) I guess if you're going to cast Paul Giamatti, you're going to want him to act like Paul...

I think I just followed the link after one of Fwoosh's increasingly frequent crashes. I'm not sure I've ever said that I appreciate whoever's maintaining this site ad-free. That's nice too.
