that's my hot take
mighty valley
all of the big memorable beats were about his love for his family, the heartbreaking messages from his son about the years he's missing in an instant... good shit good shit
proper roost
yes that's what i'm sorta implying by "it's very telltale"
the choices don't really matter
mighty valley
and then his son is turned into the villain of the movie and the main character barely even seems to give a shit. and then he solves time and space to save earth using the love for his daughter and then the end of the movie is her saying "actually this movie was about your love for the woman on the ship. go find her. bye"
lusty grotto
i have to watch the pitt
proper roost
i think harrow is kinda cooking actually
lusty grotto
i did like Task
mighty valley
the pitt's 24 gimmick is a really good fit for a med drama
you feel the strain, it's cool
mighty valley
generally a lot of actions that felt more like they had to happen for the plot than from a place of strong character
and then didn't tie together theme-wise
lusty grotto
yeah i have to agree with those takes
proper roost
yam what if you just watched Fences (2016)
This won't make you sad at all
you might be too british to watch Fences (2016) actually
lusty grotto
did you like jojo rabbit yam?
round pendant
never seen it
proper roost
what if you watch paddington 2
mighty valley
i probably feel the most internal conflict about jojo rabbit of any movie lol
proper roost
you're appropriately british enough to enjoy paddington 2, although it's great for everyone, not just the brits.
mighty valley
could be a great movie, could be one of the worst movies i've ever seen. not totally sure
proper roost
the british people love paddington 2 though.

paddington 1 is an incredibly british movie. it's like, 2 notches less british than james bond
mighty valley
it gets the coveted Good For An MCU Movie award
round pendant
No it's legitimately just a good ass political thriller action movie
and it has a banging soundtrack
mighty valley
yeah it is a good movie, it just by law periodically has to do MCU stuff so that knocks off a few percent
lusty grotto
and the coveted good for an mcu tv series award goes to Loki
mighty valley
i didn't see loki s2
round pendant
agents of shield is the good mcu tv series
lusty grotto
well i agree because the acting is great, but the story is just garbage, yam

shield story?
proper roost
"good for an mcu tv show" is like. a really low bar ngl
lusty grotto
it felt too much like a silo in the MCU
proper roost
if i'm gonna spend 10 hours on something i feel like it has to be a little better than that

shield is weird cause it's tied into the events of the MCU but not canon
lusty grotto
well im just extending the conversation

Fitz is so good

it felt like the story was held back by the MCU at the start, and then the 2nd half was like idk

I could go for some nice thoughtful character development

Aren't we all

yeah but
psychologists and therapists are just a step up
they are good
they do well, their patients recover well
but on their personal lives they are messes
mighty valley
I couldn't get into hotd, doctor who playing a bad guy just doesn't work for me
easy solution: never watch doctor who
daemon was my favorite part of that show and then they had him fuck around for all of s2

nah just watch the David Tennant ones

tho matt smith had some great monologues
I want to watch Battlestar Galactica again

Doctor who isn't even a time lord now or something?
I heard they ret conned that episode tho
round pendant
I didn't follow after capaldi
They made it so the doctor was like some primordial being or some shit
some real goofy stuff
I don't know the specifics
oh yeah it was something like the doctor was some magic space alien kid that the original time lords (before being time lords) found and then experimented on to steal/reverse engineer her regeneration powers or something
