Visually it looks impressive for a Disney Plus show, but there's not really an exciting hook storywise. I also thought Riri was the weakest part of Wakanda Forever, as she felt shoehorned into the plot to promote this show. Hopefully I'm proven wrong and it turns out to be good. I do like...

Since Disney isn't paying for the new park, there really isn't THAT much of a risk. Sure, there may be some bad PR, but not the kind that I think will lead to company boycotts.

Another thing is that companies are comprised of dozens, to hundreds of people who all have very different agendas. I'm sure there are a lot of creatives at Disney who care a lot about social justice, but they often have to act accordingly to the whims of the executives. Bob Iger strikes me as...

I'm 99% certain the central castle is Elsa's ice palace. I also think a Zootopia skyscraper is mixed in there somewhere. Since Disney isn't paying the bills, I wonder if this park may be even more expensive/lavish than the US ones or if it will be a downgrade. Could go either way.

Mixed feelings on this announcement. As a gay person, I wouldn't feel comfortable visiting there and think the Disney company shouldn't be making parks where there are significant human rights violations. On the other hand, I do think the concept art of Elsa's ice palace being the center of...

I think the New Avengers is a clever reveal in the movie itself, but I feel renaming the movie in the marketing after one week will just confuse people more than anything else. In fact, it might turn people against the movie as they will see a bunch of D-list characters and say "NOT MY...

I think after Doomsday/Secret Wars, the main focus of the MCU will be on X-men, the Fantastic Four and Spider-man. I count Deadpool as being in the X-men corner of the MCU. So the question remains...what happens to all the other characters that were focused on in Phases 4 and 5? I think the...

I don't think the Thunderbolt's opening weekend box office is very good (it's comparable to pandemic-era releases like Shang-Chi and Eternals), but we should wait till weekend 2 before we determine whether the movie will have legs or not and whether the situation is salvageable. While I think...

I went to see Sinners a second time in theaters last night and it was PACKED. Very unusual for being a Wednesday night, two weeks after release. I checked the Thunderbolts opening night screenings for comparison, and they didn't have nearly as much seats filled up. Hopefully, if Thunderbolts...

While COVID and the strikes are responsible of messing with the schedule, I think Phases 4 and 5 of the MCU have suffered from a lack of momentum and taking too long to reconnect with characters again. Captain America 4 and Thunderbolts should have come out in like 2023, when the events of...

Zegler has proven to be divisive. I say that as a fan of her acting who wants her to succeed. I think she can still continue to be true to herself and what she believes in and still have a good career, I just don't think the Disney machine is the right fit for her. I think A24-type films or an...

Zegler definitely has a fanbase, just not enough broad appeal in America to lead blockbusters that cost more than $200 million. I think she can still have a very successful career in smaller, actor-focused projects. She's a very good actress, so I think she will always be able to find some...

Critics were unusually harsh on Guardians 3, complaining that it was too dark. That didn't seem to bother general audiences. Quantumania, Love and Thunder and The Marvels got the scores they deserved.

I love Eternals, but what "interesting story" was The Marvels trying to tell? It was one of the most half-baked, lazily slapped together movies Marvel ever made. The only parts of The Marvels that worked for me where when they leaned into the absurd aspects (the singing planet, the flerkens...

It's a great movie, so I think word of mouth is carrying it. The audience I was with definitely responded to it, cheering and yelling at the screen (when characters were about to be killed) multiple times, haha.
