Joe russo: Adding extra information so that people can fill in gaps of what happened between EG to doomsday and enjoy the slop
I’ve read it, some of his thoughts are kind of silly but the critique that LOTR is reactionary is not novel and the story basically tells you itself
so obviously I disagree with the story politically as I do most fantasy and frankly most of the western canon
Have you read Earthsea
and I don’t need him to tell me that really
Interesting deviation from western fantasy norms
Yes I have harsh but that story is anarchist
Yeah that’s what I think makes it so interesting as a counterpart to LOTR
I like it more
I really love the pastoralist environmental themes of LOTR
@foggy mirage at this point, Feige just pleading for fans to come and see this movie 😭 they spent too much
Also a pretty good discussion on the paranoia of different people coexisting in a difficult time
RDJ doesn't give a fuck, he already got paid
"You don't need to see a single phase 4 or 5 movie."
But please come watch endgame again
For a post credit scene basically
Contradiction in the span of 2 weeks
Yeah imma just catch a shitty I phone recording
harsh, lmk your thoughts on Psalm for the Wild Built if you ever read it
I think it does smth kinda interesting with its world in relation to that lotr statement
Legit deluded
it's just a novella so shouldn't take you long whenever you get to it
John cinema was right calling the mcu roller coaster shit ngl @frank rivet
we didn't want to believe but they literally got nothing left 😭
No nothing you have no juice to tell new stories ?
I’m focusing on Robin Hobb’s work for first time reads and ASOIAF for my rereads this year on the fantasy front
yea if you need a palate cleanser or w/e
And they trying to pull an infinity war 2.0
Do I read Sword of Kaigen first or Poppy War
Only fantasy on my menu rn is the tainted cup
remind me did you ever read BoBH?
My ass is determined to get that much done
BoBH?
blood over bright haven
@foggy mirage i feel like after James left, they built everything aroung the GOTG aesthetic and feel they don't know how to make any other movie. If Spiderman wasn't who he was, they would be cooked. They can't take risks in any genre because their movies cost too much fucking money.
were you a fan or was the lack of subtlety an issue
I did not like it
Spiderman has practically been isolated from the main stuff outside a couple of plot points.
ah yeah SoK is much different than that
Everything in phase 4 and 5 screams random bullshit go
Hoping everything would land and they could do anything
so you would prolly enjoy it
@foggy mirage if they were smart they will let Daniel build their franchise. He did a great job with a smaller budget Wonderman.
I would say it's like a vagabond-boti-Naruto mashup
character driven, military and family drama
Wonder man was genuinely refreshing in a sea of slop
Focusing on a personal story was the right move
Nah I dont think so ?
not that i am aware of
they have superman and supergirl
so like
wonderman and wonder woman could have been their plan or w/e
Tbh dc has captain marvel
Lmao
They just call him Shazam nowadays
Also Hawkeye did so bad they fall back to daredevil carrying their shows @frank rivet
"Damn we fumbled our tv shows."
"Just revive the netflix side of stuff."
hawkeye was so forgettable
honestly while I hate Wandavision due to that dialogue in the final ruining it
atleast ep 1-4 were incredibly unique stuff
while I couldn't even finish falcon and winter soldier, it was trying to do a down to earth drama, even if they fumbled
This is easily a comic I reccomend to everyone
Hawkeye isn't even interesting, doesn't try anything else, and isn't even pulpy or fun
And they managed to fumble it
it's 0/anything a good show could have had
The only thing that kept me watching the falcon show was ||walker||
That was it
Literally
The only character having any motion
It had such generic writing with such a great actor
If they followed the actual comic closer they could have done a better show
But it was just way too much set up for other stuff
Make a good show first
Then try adding stuff
Even early Arrowverse was better 😭
Ngl that fell off at s3 for me
😭
Around the same time as the flash
I can't remember when I stopped watching it
Flash I watched a little longer
But they both suffered from the same problem that all cw shows suffer from
wasn't that big of an issue on Flash...
Issue with that was ||dragging a show out with one of the fastest heroes ever, and how inconsistent that is. With a new faster guy always showing up.|| the flash
Also just poorly written
Yeah shipping and making characters stupid
yeah like I said here lisa
that was the issue of it
with it*
arrgh what's with my grammar
anyone seen sopranos?
The Flash/Arrowverse - || at least we got Grodd vs Obama 😭 ||
Christ
Bald is back
it would be more fun if it was an official dcu announcement
That would have sold it for me tbh
Lmao
Yes. Many times
yes. once
super mario galaxy ||watching movie rn and did not expect to see so many crossovers like R.O.B. and fox||
Mario Galaxy Movie ending ||Game & Watch surprised me||
Shipping actors is weird af
Is it out on demand?
I don't think so yet, my mom wanted to know if I wanted to go watch it this weekend in theaters. She's only really good on movies that are either faith based or have good marketing
Damn so she whipped out her phone just to type that mid movie 
I mean, considering the length that some of these faith based shows go there's definitely time for multiple intermissions, as well as time to show targeted adds
Fun Fact: I'm clicking on all these mario galaxy spoilers.
What
truth
I mean the Mario movie
it just came out in theaters so no
Shoot. So I can't ship me and Rita Moreno???? WTF.
not judging but she's a bit old for ya 😭
Almost 40. Close enough.
speaking of movies going digital
i can't wait for PHM to get to digital, i need the good vibes again
@foggy mirage just saw this, he is basically throwing anything he can into this nostalgia sundae 😭
Kevin Feige says some of the sets from the ‘X-MEN’ films were reused for ‘AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY’
banger
amaze amaze amaze
Please watch our nostalgia thon

(PART 1) One Piece Theory (ft.): Pirates of the Caribbean films 2 - 3 ||(PART 1)
Eustass Kid and Davy Jones (Pirates of the Caribbean) Similarities||
||(PART 1)
- Ships
The ships of Kid and Davy Jones look very similar, as if Kid’s is just the One Piece version of it.
They both carry dinosaur-shaped skulls afront.
They both feature further rib bones along the sides.
Even the box-y shape of their rear areas look similar too.||
||Davy Jones’ ship was even hilarious called the “Crocodile Machine” by Jack Sparrow, during bloopers.
Which is actually quite true.. the ship is practically machine-like in design.
Very fitting match for a Kid that adores assembly and disassembly, to modify his ship in such a way.||
||Interestingly, Kid’s Victoria Punk used to feature an.. oddly horned bat-like figure instead. This is strange as bats have ears, not horns.
Ultimately, what this figurehead actually ends up resembling is real-life illustrations of Davy Jones.||
||During the time-skip, it was modified to the dinosaur we now know, as a specific request from Oda for Stampede.
Whether it be real-life depictions of Davy Jones or the one from Pirates of the Caribbean, it’s intriguing how Kid always seems to match up one way or another.||
||- Heritage
Back to similarities, both Eustass Kid and cinema Davy Jones have been created with the image of being Scottish.||
Reminder: ALL of this is Pirates of the Caribbean films 2 - 3 spoilers
||- Weapon Collecting
Both Kid and Jones seem to share the same hobby of weapon collecting.
Although this wasn’t outright stated by Jones, after killing a character during an emotional scene in-context of the film, he collects his sword while fancying it.||
||- Unrequited Love
Despite being ruthless on the outside, Jones and Kid are both soft on the inside. Both have endured unrequited love.
Davy Jones with Calypso the sea goddess.. and Kid with Victoria, who he turned into his own makeshift sea spirit, naming his ship after her.||
||Until recently, I would have thought this connection would be out of nowhere to make too.
But I hope I’ve successfully managed to convince how Oda has actually taken inspiration from Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean, and applied him into Eustass Kid in a variety of ways.||
^^Pirates of the Caribbean films 2-3
Thanks for remaining idle, everyone. My next part of the theory can now be viewed at #manga-theories message

|| Everytime a new problem arise, characters are like, "I know someone..."
How very convenient... ||

@random arrow im gonna watch the 3rd movie tonight so im gonna read it tmrw 
im liking the franchise
Oh wow, what fitting timing lol. Yeah, hope you enjoy it! The first 3 are really good, I watched them for the first time myself recently, which is what sparked the newly-writing of the theory
Pirates of the Caribbean film 2 ||I wasn't even going into it with the original intention of finding relations to Kid, but all of a sudden the crocodile machine appeared and I was like wtf, it's literally the Victoria Punk
||
indeed lol
watching the marvel movies in order for the first time, 3 movies in and I'm already sick and tired of the audio shit, voices are whisper quiet so I have to turn up volume to even hear anything, then some explosion goes off and my headset fucking explodes too. I hate it.
3 body Problem book 2 || https://www.reddit.com/r/threebodyproblem/s/pHrayZCeg5 ||
this is crazyy
Seems like the editorial changes were good ?
1000 editorial changes still led to a sexist book
imagine how bad it was without it
Ken liu saved the book it seems
Only did the first book I think
Oh
this is most modern movies in general, audio mixing isnt fixed for home release. Its just more noticeable in action films where theres explosions and fighting etc

Was afraid I'd have to watch anime tonight instead
OH NO NOT ANIME
row 20 || i have a feeling this will be an uncommon opinion but i dont like the choice to lean more into the shallan multiple personality thing. It dominates every line of dialogue, every interaction, every scene. I recognize that this is probably true to life but it doesnt make for a good story imo. Shallan literally gets a tummyache and the first thought is oh veil can use this as a false display of weakness to cause people to underestimate her. She cant stub her toe without thinking oh radiant wouldnt react to this as much as I did ||
please James 😭
Nobody would complain if he dropped it on Wednesday
row 20|| I like half agree but in a more broad sense that it feels like half of the time, both kaladin AND shallan will be removed to just their disorders. Like it strips them of anything else. But also, i'm one of those people who have admittedly gotten a little tired of these characters facing the exact same struggles throughout these books lol||
Row20 ||Kaladin is a slave? He's depressed. Kaladin is a high soldier? Well he's a little less depressed now, but he still is struggling with his indenity. Oathbringer? this dude is still depressed and he cant save everyone, so on and so forth||
Im being a little mean
I admit
but
row 20 || id agree it similarly dominates the arcs as a whole and the average interaction but it doesnt affect every single interaction like it does for shallan dissociation. A few chapters ago he was able to find some joy in bringing his family to the tower and giving his father a nice surgery room||
RoW 20 || That's how mental health works ||
row20 ||I def agree on that front its stronger with shallan ||
RoW 20 ||I'm not saying its unrealistic, but I would be lying if I said from a writing perspective it doesn't get a little tedious at points||
row 20 || the first example i gave that prompted me to post wasnt an exaggeration she literally reacts to getting a stomachache by considering how veil could twist it towards her subterfuge ends ||
RoW 20 || Its stronger in impact because its realistic tho ||
RoW 20 || Shallan post OB has been in a state where she stops abusing her Personalities but is outright hiding using them ||
Row ||I disagree on kaladin. Book 1 is about finding a reason to live and continue on. Book 2 challenges his perception of the world and his sense of honor. Book 3 kaladin has massive trouble overcoming his failure because that’s just how he has always been and has never truly tried to forgive himself. On top of it being his former #2. Elhokar was changing as well.||
Row ||Shallan I have to think a bit more on since her problem is more complex but I wasn’t bothered by any “repetitiveness” of her struggle in the first three books||
row || it was fine in ob, i didnt love it but overall it was fine and there was a nice moment in the end where all 3 shards work together in the final battle. But in ROW its literally every single line ||
Row || Shallan in her first book deals with her place in this grand scheme of things and is more driven by the goal than anything else. Her mental health isn't even explored here as she has hidden it for years.
Shallan in book 2 deals with self worth, loss of a friend mentor and navigating herself in a place where anyone could kill her for political gain.
Shallan in book 3 is now for the first time deals with her DID. The end in OB is her understanding that the two aren't for her to abuse due to that kid Veil helped dying.
Shallan in book 4 is finally spiralled into her issue and is hiding behind her personalities.
If you are nitpicking, Shallan has less repetition than Kal lol ||
RoW || Her journey in OB was more so realizing that she shouldn't abuse her personality and embrace them as not as tools but as some parts of her that just exists.
She hasn't really completely accepted those voices, more so just make peace with them and set boundaries ||
RoW|| me reading all this: I like Adolin because he is cool||
Row ||just a guy I a world of superheros and demons||
I am not even doing with any 'depth' stuff here. It's all fully blatant surface level stuff
RoW || People have weird obsession with these sort of characters ||
RoW ||ATIA for trying to get a fire fit from my tailor when my whole kingdom is on the verge of collapse?||
|| like say Rock Lee ||
me im him
Never ever been a guy who puts them that high
That character wasn't even top 10 until latest book..
Row ||I imagine because it’s more relatable or easier to self insert||
theyre probably my favorite in the series
RoW|| although I wish brandon wouldnt sideline him so hard sometimes||
|| Kal's more relatable to me honestly ||
RoW|| we get the fun nice and hype moments from him but there is drama there that lays in these books and just goes basically untouched like dalinar and adolin ||
RoW || His depression spiral are way more relateable than a normal person who is still super jacked, rich and a prince ||
guess not everyone can relate to that life huh
RoW all || The only one that has been untouched between them has been regarding SshSshSsh ||
|| which has been progressed but in a different way since Adolin is sent in a expedition by the said guy avoiding to deal with it ||
Wind and truth is a big book. Once I’m done that’s it for Stormlight for another 5 years. That’s crazy
One piece won’t even be done then
Yeah cuz one piece is a bigher story duh
RoW END ||Sadeas? didnt that happen in OB?||
Stormlight takes longer to read than OP and ain't even half as big in scope fr
RoW end || No Evi ||
|| Sadeas is still kinda unresolved at this point. Doesn't mean it won't be coveted ||
Ob ||the whole fact that they barely acknowedge the fact adolin murders fucking sadeas still annoys me||
OB ||damn near no repercussions ||
OB ||something like that should have rifted a wedge between Dalinar and Adolin way harder, its a complete different path in their characters and nothing comes from it||
OB || It has rifted a wedge but you would be lying if you say that diidnt help Dalinar lol ||
OB|| its a super small wedge ig, it should have fundamentally shifted their dynamic ||
OB || No it shouldn't have.
Despite what Adolin does being shameful for the current him and being against what he stands for, some part of him agrees with Adolin when he says about Sadeas making things more difficult and they not having capacity to deal with him.
And a good chunk of adolin in OB is driven by effect of Sadeas's death ||
RoW || The true wedge is Dalinar killing Evi and that had fundamentally changed Adolin and Dalinar's relation as its evident in RoW ||
OB ||I just look at TWoK when Dalinar probably could have just killed Sadeas and instead gave his blade and everything just for Kaladin and his crew and how civilized he is. How rational he is now with choice and trying to for the most part always not choose the extreme/lash out and than adolin goes and does it. his OWN son. and its barely acknowledged. ||

Wolverine will not be part of the line up....ass
Insert random end credits scene for another movie teasing Logan if this fumbles
true, but storm and gambit were always my niggas
Like imma keep it 100
Them trying to be cute
By doing the og members only first
Is jusr stupid
😭 they're broke
Incoming "why aren't they hype about this like xmen 97"
Gimme the whole pizza
Or none of it
I should probably tag that
i wonder is he not coming back because of VA not wanting to and they dont want to replace the voice
doesn't really make sense why not bring him back
Its 100% gonna be a problem
fr
Mcu xmen ||it also gimps them from using any of his villains btw.||
Because they only ||there for Logan lmao.|| mcu
||these people only have smoke for logan.|| mcu xmen
mcu xmen - || one of the greatest mysteries of the MCU is how they couldn't make jean grey work. They have recasted jean so many god damn times 😭 ||
Xmen 97- i think ||Omega Red || will be in season 2
Mcu xmen -||ngl besides some of the casting I have zero hype for this.||
News was more deflating than anything
||This like telling me born again s1 would have been based on the stan Lee original run of daredevil.|| - mcu xmen
Also fun fact the original run got shit canned in 1970@frank rivet
For xmen
So again what are we doing here
Like if it was proven to work then sure id shut up
Mcu xmen ||I imagine they're holding off on wolverine because Hugh Jackman was SO iconic in that role he's gonna be the one under the most scrutiny from the general public. They wanna get people attached to the new universe first, then add reboot wolverine in with a dedicated movie for him||
Mcu xmen ||I have zero faith the mcu can make a good wolverine solo movie.||
mcu xmen ||same I ain't watching this crap||
Peak Jim Lee X-Men went so hard
Love me some Quietly X-men too
Imagine being so iconic its still the look people have in their mind 30 years later
Only hickman was cooking with the xmen like the jim run for me
Morrison X-Men run
Mashallah
How could I almost forget
Revived the xmen for the 2000s with new life
Put a great writer on the book and they tend to have generational runs
Morrison X-Men
Iconic first page
Grant Morrison x men run iconic pages all around
||Pretty sure this was referenced word for word in xmen 97|| xmen 97
Man of tomorrow ||5 movies before this tried to have braniac and they all died before this point. A new dawn is here.|| @frank rivet
Incredible page this
This run is always a gem to reread
Damn
@modern lichen @sage remnant @frank rivet
I gotta ask what do you guys them of them as actors and the cinematography they've been in ?
Besides the fact they look a little similar
Both are great actors but I prefer Lee as an actor
Understandable tbh
Also helps Lee was in one of the best movies last year

Fits really complicated villains really well as well as more gritty stories

He's just good at everything fr

Eric Kripke on whether ‘The Boys’ ending will satisfy fans after divisive finales like ‘Game of Thrones’
︀︀
︀︀"I approached it with absolute terror ... I was not confident ... because people do a weird thing where they retroactively judge a show based on the finale"
︀︀
︀︀"'Game of Thrones' [is] technically and creatively a groundbreaking, monumental achievement, which stumbled a little bit on three episodes ... those happened to be its last three, and now everyone is like ''Game of Thrones'... mid' I'm like really?.. that show changed the world"

︀︀"So I'm terrified of that response ... and I think it ended up being helpful because I was so careful [going] through everything. I think we pulled it off ... but who the hell knows? ... my butt is clenched waiting to see how people react"
︀︀
︀︀(via @the_river_jp)
Based Kripke
Ngl that is unironically the best looking movie
Stumbled a bit ?
Season 5 and up is ass
I get he's talking finales
But that shows problems started from season 5
Yeah everything around it though
Its like watching someone start using scrappy building materials on the 5th floor of a skyscraper
And around the end they just used glass
I think it was cooked since the 5th floor was tofu dreg dog
What's the worst that can happen
At this point
For most people, anecdotally based on my interactions with my then friends, last season is the only one most people have issues with
I didnt even catch that lmfao

Most folk are easy to please i feel
I hated how they mishandled so many things
Like I said if you are already into whatever the show was doing
No issues
Even when 7 objectively just sucks
Anyone watched nirvana the band the show
A TV sensation
But the last 3 were so legendary
To mid
In how they fumbled
Like at this point I just take 1-4 as good seasons
The rest not worth the time for me
@frank rivet bunch of tv shows cover list. Not all yhe shows I've seen just random list.
23 minutes until invincible s4 finale woopwoop
TV shows || Kim Possible
||
TV shows - || This list is legit, only thing I would change is KND is S tier fr 😭 ||
I mostly agree I probably just woulda applied a normal curve more
I guess it should be biased towards the top cause you just don't watch anything that's really bad
If something starts annoying me a lot I drop it
And it just doesnt make the cut
4.0 oh my god
Invincible s4e8 ||Paulbros it’s so over
||
I don't think I've ever watched a single episode of invincible
invincible s4 finale ||they fucking butchered it what the actual fuck. eve barely even thicc, postive paul breakup, nolan wasnt even there for the fkn deal, pacing and dialogue are shit, what the actual fuck||
you should, its a geat show, i can send you link to comics too if you want
Invincible s4 finale ||I thought it was a very interesting change that they edged out the reveal till the very end. I liked the sense of dread they gave Mark. But yeah Eve not being thicc enough is a sin. Cowards.||
Iv seen it by force 😭
invincible s4 finale ||but that changes the entire plot of nolan going to telescria telling allen the news, does nolan even fkn know now?||
all the more reason to catch up on it, then you can spoil others
I'm caught up lol
oh lol I understand now, you meant you read the comics but enver watched the show?
No I mean I have been force fed invincible off short form videos that I've basically seen all of it
Invincible s4 finale ||I liked how they showed Kregg immediately going to work lmao||
invincible s4 finale ||kregg takes his orders very serious and very enthusiastic lmao||
I might read it for sure
lemme dm you the link right quick
its a fkn archive dot org link anyway
hm cant dm you wtf 
ah whatever, if you want it, dm me
Fr, everything ive heard bout invincible are against my will. The fans are insufferable with spoilers and the algorithm as well.
Kind of shit puts me off a series out of annoyance
as an invincible comic reader myself, I couldnt agree more, worst fanbase in history
well season is over, maybe ill stop seeing it on my feed now
invincible is the jjk of western animation
I dont like being forced to catch up to something just due to spoilers, even if i like the series
I mean i only do that if its a manga amd im not much behind like op
But this is like 3 seasons im behind lol
Except it gets clowned on for its animation sll the time lol
so is the jjk comparison just the fandom?
the animation can be fucking attrocious at times, garou slide kinda level
The production/showrunners priorities seem to be on useless celeb VAs than animation
oh you dont know the half of it 
word is theyre constantly trying to get brain cranston but he keeps saying no
Yeah im aware. Of that stuff. stupid af.
and instead of just getting real VAs they get the bottom of the celeb barrel
Like main cast is one thing and id say they’re great
but u dont need celeb VAs for every char
worst example is the dude from the very first scene, that security guard, I cant remember but he was some super famous celeb, had like 5 lines that was it
fucking useless
This seems an issue that more budget wont fix as theyll just hire more celebs
Production needa change
I dont think they will tho
Apparently they get a million budget per ep
we got 3, maybe 4 seasons left
Insane the quality compared to any good produced anime
yupp
I mean it still delivers tho when it matters most
Doesn't make sense cuz afaik the animation of Invincible is bad?
the animation I mean
Even Stuff like early ben 10 probably has better fights
they are very self aware of that btw, they literally make fun of themself in a scene
Western animation fell off hard
its the same with the comics btw
They were never on
Other than maybe Samurai Jack
At least had more visual flair than current anime fr
reusing the exact same panel 4 times in a row without anychanges is not an uncommon thing in the comics
Mandalorian and Grogu clip || https://fixupx.com/discussingfilm/status/2046841396930232741?s=46 || @white smelt
I think any DCAU series is better than invincible in animation
No one would compare any DCAU show to Invincible, that’s a crime
Damn
speaking of, invincible makes a lot of sidesweeps at other comics, kirkman really fucking hated the classic superhero comic tropes
Kirkman apparently doesn’t respect animation medium
Kirkman doesn’t have much to do with the animation
Something i heard, dunno how true
hmmm I cant quite remember, wasnt walking dead supposed to be animated too? did he want that or not? 
Is nt he the showrunner tho
well I heard the same tho
I have a very good example for this but spoilers 
I see untagged invincible spoilers when im just trynna see shitposts on folk subs/okbuddy subs lol
And they aren’t invincible related
Thats how bad this shit is lol
it is infesting every other community, yes
may I dm ya right quick?
Is it spoilers?
err nah
Go ahead
Lol just woke up
wad was that 
the boys s5e4 ||there's a reference to the scott expeditions of the amélie penguin herd lmao||
Arcane
Yeah arcane is better animated than any East Asian work
Any is a stretch
how it feels going back to hotd after akotsk

‘HOUSE OF THE DRAGON’ returns this June. 🐉
"They were never on" would imply shows of the past. More evidently clear with Samurai Jack about which era I akm describing...
Have you watched Tatami Galaxy or that creator's any other works
disney movies were more imaginative pre 2000~
pocahontas or hercules are not what i call imaginative tbh
well, different disney movies have different directors. What about Peter Pan?
which is pre 2000 
no no my point is that there are as many stinkers in the disney canon as there are classics
even pre 2000
100%. But goro was just saying they were never on and then used samurai jack as the sole exception
i think a lot of early disney renaissance work is pretty great
so it didnt seem to be like a "theyre ALWAYS on vs NEVER on" thing
yeah that i disagree with
The Iron Giant aint disney but thats another animated movie from the 90s that is peak
very excited for the new brad bird animated feature
Ye it was hyperbolic and ignoring a good number of works
spiderverse/arcane have done wonders for CGI animation. Now not every animated movie is pixar art style
this is still pixar-ish but theres more style infused
that makes it look more unique
i am so fucking excited for beyond the spiderverse bro
that movie's never coming
The 00s and second post-Frog CG period had a lot of their most experimental work after like, the 50s tbh
new images and stills from the movie have been released
its coming out
phil lord and chris miller took to cinemacon
I started and finished college in the time between batman 1 and 2 and across and Beyond
sebastian stan has confirmed they'll start shooting in a month or 2
Not that they were better for it
00s is when most of their stuff started feeling like a straight to DVD movie
but theres obv like
treasure planet
brother bear
etc
which I liked
but those werent huge successes
idr if monsters inc was disney or pixar at the time
ik its disney now
lilo and stitch was good
monsters inc and monsters university are both pixar releases
Disney is a pendulum of doing formulaic and successful Disney movies, starting to lower their budget and dev times as people get bored of em, moving into new demographics unsuccessfully partially due to the cheap feeling of their current animation, and inevitably going back to basics with a hit Princess movie that recaptures everyone's nostalgia once they're ready for one again
This has happened 4 times
new princess movie soon?
new disney slate looks like shit
never heard of hexed
What
Yeah they're in a slump
And covering their asses with sequels
I haven't watched zootopia 2 tho
That's just typical now
Every popular new animated movie is the best selling ever
Cuz theaters are expensive now so family movies sell the best and the international market is larger than ever
walt disney animation studio still got that money drawing power but i wish it was a bit more like what it used to be in its golden age
its my favorite disney film
the sleeping beauty
they made use of the widescreen format so fucking well with this one
kpop demon hunters saved animation
Oh right I gotta finish my Disney marathon
I have 4 movies left I think
Then I'm committed to seeing every remaining Pixar movie which MIGHT kill me
Elio was brutal
Also my friends tell me to rewatch Dinosaur saying it's not as dire as I remember
But idk I think I'd rather drink bleach
Clayface also trailer should be dropping today
@frank rivet
This is just the marketing before it
I feel like they made this movie specifically to do the really cool intro scene
and then they were like "uh, now what"
for the rest of the movie
I remember the hand puppets from McDonald's more than the actual story
can't wait
Dinosaur ||Id say the meteor shower was memorable||
I remember loving this as a kid
But its lowkey ugly
Coyote vs Acme ||https://youtu.be/H-43VeYGiPM?si=wtN0vLbB0aBV49-b||
The trailer ACME doesn’t want you to see. Coyote vs. ACME. In theaters August 28. https://www.coyotevsacme.com/
We won
Even if the film ends up mid it's still a win
was it always 3d animation?
I always thought it was 2d for some reason
Yeah
I really wish Sony would've considered putting it in theaters instead of shipping it over to Netflix. Don't know if the movie would have done as well as it did in streaming, tho.
This actually looks so peak.
Yeah lol
Damn
Michael getting slammed by critics
Can’t say I’m too surprised but I thought it would just be mild indifference
WoR 5 || Elhokar is such a whiny bitch bro ||
Clayface movie poster || https://x.com/clayfacemovie/status/2046978216452317325?s=46 ||
That's a nice poster
Damn they going harder on this then i thought
They promised a horror movie
And this is written by Mike Flanagan
So its lining up
I literally was gasing it off it being a Mike Flanagan script
This is just a really good sign
Mando movie ||I’m curious about why they have Bibi tied up next to him. Can’t help himself even in the SW universe ||
My main issue with Invincible is that the animation is fine, but it needs more colorful colors and better shading in some scenes
Dull muted colors do not work
It’s not just the animation. The voice acting is bad for most characters
Don't they invest everything for VA
They invest a lot it seems. Plenty of celebrities
But I eve the ones who aren’t voiced by celebrities I find grating
There are only a handful of voices I actually like
They animate a season per year so I don’t expect anything good. Don’t know why they’d do that. Sacrificing the quality s1 had to pump out a season every year
ye most still suck
might be a voice direction issue
That’s what I’m thinking it is. Mostly
Invincible s4 ||I think Thragg’s voice fits him tbh. Never got the hate||
But some of the celebs I disliked. In Invinicble s3 ||I didn’t like Aaron Paul as Powerplex tbh||
Invincible s4 ||I find Thragg to be bad. Theres never any change in infliction in his voice and he sounds bad whenever he’s angry. It’s overall extremely dull||
they have like crazy well known voice actors for little cameos that have 5 lines
I do quite like JK Simmons tho
Its peak i fear
@frank rivet
Its here
|| who needs to die by the end of the show || the boys s5ep4
I’m gonna be a hater and say I’m just not going to watch any movies that have a creepy rendition of popular songs in the trailer
Color grading i was expecting a bit different than this but cool
Cinematographer has a great track record
So not suprised
seems relevant enough to the movie though lol
I mean pretty much is
They all are
Don't really need to say why
But it’s annoying
Also mine Flanagan
On the script
Its gonna be gold
Thank god the teaser came out only a week later
If i had to wait till june
clayface ||the conjuring jump scare sound effect at the end when he brushes his hand over his face is so ill-placed lmao made me burst out laughing||
Are they already filming the Elden Ring movie?
Feels like I just heard about the casting but I’m seeing location shooting online
i think that's pretty typical no?
cast was probably decided a little while before we heard about it
Invincible show latest || lol what the fuck was that ||
Invincible show latest || Did they just fucking offscreen Paul and Debbie breaking up?||
Invincible show latest || so you wasted all our fucking time with that boring fucker just to offscreen the breakup just to pit Nolan and Debbie back together, oh fuck off||
Season was a 7/10 for me
Invincible show latest || remove episode 4 and it could’ve been better||
I hear @sonic tree has been cast in the elden ring movie but I'm not sure which role
Seems so. Photos of people in costume of ER characters in sets are circulating
I just saw 5 seconds
😭 it's peak
Where the HotD hype at
Taken by Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
Prob alienated most of its audience with s2( havent seen it but heard its hated)
hotd s2 / fire and blood || i think s2 kinda being lame slow will actually be a good thing cause they saved all the hype events for season 3+ ||
'Epic,' Viral Musical Retelling of 'The Odyssey,' To Become Animated Movie Thanks to Jerry Bruckheimer (Exclusive) https://t.co/1RJ5bUqHEs
Invincible season 4 end ||that was bad but even worse was Nolan’s dialogue with Debbie. It was forced and manipulative to the point where I thought Debbie was having ptsd as well lol. They need to stop having Nolan say he’s changing. That’s not how this kinda thing works. Other than that, mark and eve storyline was really good, especially the voice acting. And Thragg seems like a dope villain so far||
Invincible show latest || they have a habit of doing that, with Rex in season 2 he would say how much he changed like every other sentence practically, and everyone kinda loved him by the end so it worked out perfectly and I’m assuming they’re doing the same thing now||
|| Honestly part of me wished that no one would forgive Nolan and no matter what he did it wouldn’t be enough, mostly because I feel like during redemption arcs it’s a constant that the perpetrator gets forgiven all too easily, and they’ve done a pretty good job of showing no one forgiving Nolan but have messed up every part else||
Invincible season 4 finale/issue 77 ||Biker Kregg||
Invincible s4 latest ||he’s being all nice to the people he knows (mark, debbie, etc) but hasn’t said a word about the 2000+ people he has killed I believe. It’s just hard to come back from that and I agree that I wish some people just didn’t forgive him. I’m ok with mark andoliver, but setting Debbie and Nolan back together is just bad||
damn
its actually happening
good for them
never listened to it but im adjacently familiar
Whole musical is 2 and a quarter hours
I imagine some of it will be cut down
More interested in this than the Nolan version tho lmao
am I reading this wrong
does this mean they'll retell it in tiktok songs
viral musical retelling...
Epic is an independent music album series that tells the story of the Odyssey as a collection of faux stage musicals
The songs will remain intact and were written as a narrative musical
It went viral and will get a movie adaption because of its popularity online
It’s like another other musical just that it went viral online because it was published online first
I don’t give a shit about this personally but it’s nice to see this happen for the creator
skibidi the musical
is he dumb
man the boys is actually so dogshit
first 2 seasons were pretty good
but hey, atleast we're almost at the end
Lmfao
He do be saying anything

Jesus Christ Superstar was a fucking trip man
Today sucked ass I'm glad I watched that to unwind
I vaguely remember the holy mountain being the most out there thing I've seen. But that was like 10 years ago I wonder if it's actually as strange as i remember
That's still on my watch list but I've seen enough of Jodorowsky in various documentaries that I know what to expect from him
Also Jesus Christ Superstar was more on the "I'm having the time of my life" side of that spectrum than the "woah I need to think about this" one lmao
||Just don't say I'm
Damned for all time||
I don't think I've seen it but I got a book of the sheet music somewhere for sure
god forbid a white boy make a little joke
hey white boy

Yep just saw this
NEW YORK (AP) — Warner Bros shareholders approve $81 billion sale to Paramount in a mega merger that could vastly reshape Hollywood.
It’s so joever
Joewari da
What effect could it have tho
Propaganda. More AI movies
Oh great
Clayface trailer was cool
More excited for it than supergirl
I hope its as good or better than the swamp thing series
Excited for both on this tbh
Knowing the source material for supergirl
supergirl will prolly be good but the trailer didnt hype me as much as this one, besides lobo
not familiar with source as i dont read comics
This and next year will be crazy for cbm
Batman 2, spiderverse(tho i doubt these considering the delays), secret wars, supes
Spider verse is definitely next year
Only one that has questionable anything is doomsday
Imagine if they do another delay lmao
I kinda lost excitement for that movie, no longer anticipating it, tho ill def watch it when it comes
It was supposed to drop like 3-4 years ago
this is going to be gas i can feel it in my bones
it still has to reviewed by congress right, we are still a way away before its joever

🇯🇵 Haruki Murakami's first novel in three years will hit shelves in Japan in July, starring a woman as the main character for the first time, his publisher has said.
➡️ https://t.co/gWPslXAhuT
Lets go
Tho i wonder how he would do female mc..

Murakami all books ||this time the man will be sexually assaulted… and it’s up to the woman to heal him… whoa…||
you've read IQ84?
Yes
might be my fav murakami but still very weird
I liked it yeah
Not fan of kafka on the shore?
IQ84 ||my favorite character was the slimy detective dude ||
I think it’s my fav one
Very surreal
|| that woods section with ww2 guys || kafka on the shore
I like norwegian woods the least among his works
Wind up bird chronicles ||i think the craziest his stuff has ever made me feel was the ww2 flashback in this where they skin the man alive. I had an out of body experience ||
Rip me
While I do my construction trainint
I’m gonna listen to the audio book
Listening to prologue rn
????
Damn
wombat doesnt care about good things goro
??????
it's time to give up on him
He should have read perdido or darkness that comes before
Bro im not gonna just never finish tsa
But not sure on latter now with how you reaponded to last argument of kings
I liked last argument of kings
Darkness that comes before is just very bleak
barely
Didnt like?
Do you speak Spanish goro
No
Not at all
There’s a good book I wanted to rec
I would wait for a translation someday
100% it will never be translated
Rip
It’s not really a new popular book or anything
Wind and truth prologue ||halfway through still dont know who any of these characters are except galivar
||
????????????????
Wind and Truth ||idk bro am I expected to know all of the heralds names
||
I couldnt name a single one
Tbh
Wind and truth ||i know some are active/alive but i cant remember them at all ngl||
First 5 are very much in focua
|| Nale has been active in all 5 books. Ash and Taln have been mentioned and slightly in focus every 4 books ||wat
WaT ||like I said, I remember it a bit but a lot of the herald stuff is a blur like at the end of row when dalinar meets one of them and trys to fight and theres all bodies of something i cant remember the details idk||
WaT ||ngl a lot of the outer cosmere/worldbuilding stuff I don’t really care like, too much for. Like its neat but its not the main draw for me||
This isnt outside cosmerw stuff
Welp!
Wat ||i just mean like, god level stuff and allat||
WaT ||some parts i like, some part I just dont really care for ||
I’m a characters guy
Most times
At the end of the day
Its a mainline book…
WaT ||gavilar is a pompous prick…||
Well continue reading.
Or whatever
#magicisright
Well I bought a boxset of the first 4 and didn’t feel like buying the inbewteens
Maybe I’ll read them one day
Reading wor
I didnt i bought all of them individually and i STILL wont read some .5
Goat
Welll if it was so good thry should have called it book 4 shouldnt they
Idk what to tell ya man it was the first gif I found under terrible
5 hail marys and may god have mercy on my soul
@pine obsidian interstellar ||it’s exactly like Interstellar. That movies plot is exactly a bootstrap paradox. Coop going back in time because he went to space allows him to do the things that motivates him to go to space||
I miss Smiling Friends
Its probably for the best
Interstellar One Piece||Hey so I saw this video about interstellar paradox in the past and thats why i remember this in the first place but Cooper going back in time wasnt cause of Cooper himself, it was cause of the bad situation on the Earth. But Luffy going back in time is probably I guess cause of the poneglyphs and the OP? but these events are cause by Luffy himself as compared to Coopers where he isnt deciding to go back cause of his own events that he will do in the past?
its like Luffy went back because future history exists
but it only exists because Luffy went back
where as Cooper goes back because Earth was in a bad condition iirc
but the bad conditions were there by themselves , as in independent of cooper doing anything or any person time travelling causing them.
Im also not sure if Interstellar is a bootstrap paradox or not but its kind of similar in someways. Are you sure it is bootstrap? But anyways man, this is really fun to discuss tho lol
But in the grand scheme of things with OP as a story do you really think this is better than it being not cause of a time loop? ie Joyboy being a separate person and the Void Century stuff being independent of Luffy and timetravel etc. I find it more mysterious and interesting this way.||
no punishment would change the fact 
Did s1-4 yrs ago and just stopped there
Loved what i saw esp s4, heard it falls off hard after
Yes
series goats, Dark, 1899, severance
🥀 🥀 🥀
that means its good then
Lmfao
General audiences reviews mostly consist of stupid bullshit in them so it’s par for the course
Sounds like its really sanitized afaik
its a biopic ran by his estate
if you're a fan and you know what to expect you'll probably enjoy
Likely bad. All the critics are criticizing it for pretty much sanitizing Micheal’s image and not really presenting him as a realistic person alongside the struggles he faced. If you want an accurate depiction of Micheal it seems bad, but I guess if you just want an album accompanied by high moments in his life it’s good.
idk if I personally agree with that.
Yeah, The Boys has a lot, and I mean plenty, of writing issues,
but it's still a decent watch imo and I wouldn't really call it "dogshit".
Although I haven't seen Gen V or the two latest seasons of the show yet.
I have heard a lot of criticism towards Season 4, so I am a bit worried.
I figured thisd be criric proof lol.
Audience like it for different reason. as long as they get to hear his songs in a theatre, thats good enough
I am glad it isnt critic proof. A fictional account of Michael's life does nothing but print money for fans and hides the really bad stuff and sanitizes his image
dont think that's even a problem i want a good movie to be made that's interesting instead of a bohemian rhapsody style shambles of stringing along music performances being recreated
like yeah, michael jackson is one of the greatest entertainers of all time and he had a VARIETY of demons and controversies but like... fuqua and the jackson estate is fundamentally averse to (like many other artists who have had their own biopics made like bohemian rhapsody) actually showing importance to the humanity of michael's life and what led to him being what he is
I agree with most of your sentiment, but I do think it's a problem to only show a fictional account with none of the controversies and issues he dealt with
Hell from the trailer it doesnt even look like they are going to acknowledge his abusive father
It's a movie attempt at cleaning Michael's rep
They do acknowledge his abusive father
If they do then that's at least something. Again, Ive only seen the trailer
And of course hearing how the movie is very inaccurate
yeah its just not effective or done well
it is brought up and depicted though
again, the problem with shitty music biopics as lampooned so well by walk hard is the shallowness of depicting the human part of these larger than life celebrities
the boys s5e1 || good first episode. A-Train's story came full circle, neat||
The Boys S5e1 || very good redemption arc yeah ||
dw they have 10 other spin offs cooking
I mean yeah
honestly s1 of this show was p good. And season 2 had an amazing actor that carried tf out of it
Hamish Linklater
Only watched the first season and watched a YouTube recap for Boys Season 5
The Boys is basically becoming what it was making fun of
Like the showrunner literally called it the Vought Cinematic Universe
Son
in what 😭
Kripke did you learn nothing from Supernaturals
Why does everything need spinoffs 😔
Never watched it but rip
|| And when the boys specifically made fun of that || the boys general

Got to admit this was a good con
Had everyone tricked an hour ago
Crypto scammers gained some respect
She has been hacked for a while
The scammer is just larping with the main tweet then promoting the scam under it
