I rewatched this with my dad a few months ago (he has the Blu-Ray) and was stunned by how much I liked it. I’ll certainly be getting the 4K of this at some point.

Let’s call it Frontpage

I used to see people do this here and there but they got bored after a few months because nobody watched the content. If you could get a bot to do this, I could see this being a longer term project, but if it gets big enough some folks might object as well.

HA!

This should be less surprising than it seems on face value, as James Bond is set to hit the public domain so both parties might just be in a rush to get new Bond movies in development at this point

RIP that franchise, it’s cooked

This is big! Reading between the lines, it seems that at the very least:

1. Marvel/Disney is actively planning ways to use the Defenders characters in the MCU in the future

2. The primary barrier to using Defenders characters will be budget constraints and actor availability

It would be interesting to see if The Defenders comes back, any of the existing shows get spiritual successors, or if movies with these characters come out in the future. It’d be pretty cool if we end up seeing, for example, the Defenders version of Danny Rand team up with Shang Chi in the sequel that most definitely is going to happen (per pinkie promises)

I wanna say it was built into Lemmy originally as well but they removed it from the FE

IDK if people just watched Endgame and Falcon & The Winter Soldier, they wouldn’t be surprised that Sam is Captain America

I liked it. It was a lil clunky, but not so clunky that you’d know that it went through development hell if nobody told you. Some of the dialogue was flat and busy telling the audience what it already showed us, but most of it was competent if not good. I think the humor in this movie wasn’t crazy but it was wayyyyyy better than the standard brand of “Marvel humor” we usually see. The “since when were they red?” line is basically the only moment we get of humor like that, it was quite refreshing. And no, Torres wasn’t annoying in this movie, at least not to me, he was fine (although I don’t like how the writers positioned him for most of the third act). The action was great for the most part even if at times it feels like Cap has Domino’s superpower.

If this movie has a major flaw, it’d be that it borrows many themes and plot points from TWS and CW. But I liked those beats and they were competently handled, so the movie works for me.

I’m astounded by how poorly this movie is being received. Especially considering the rumors surrounding the reshoots and test screenings, it felt to me like it exceeded the expectations those rumors set in my mind by leaps and bounds.

Looks like a mixture of Winter Soldier and Falcon & The Winter Soldier, which both are some of my favorite bits in the MCU

Only Cap 4. I personally am mostly excited for Thunderbolts* but I have friends who have been talking about Cap 4 for at least a month or two now, and they’re extremely casual MCU fans. I feel like the break in superhero movies has really ignited an unexpected appetite for superhero films again amongst moviegoers. Even I am looking forward to Cap 4 now, even with all of the rumors that it’s going to be bad and all the rumors and stuff.

We’ve always had woke media. If it’s good, nobody will care at the end of the day.

I’ve found her career fascinating, she’s the only one I’ve seen leave Fox and then go farther to the right. She was center right on the network and now she’s firmly planted on the right. Meanwhile Bill O’Reilly stayed mostly the same and Tucker Carlson is now the same as he was before, just less mask of and outspoken about his genuine positions

Hey! Don’t kink shame.

Honestly, for the next college football season, this and ESPN Flagship will probably be all I will need more or less. If I ever want Fox News (which I like less and less over time but might still be useful for presidential debates and such), this means I’ll be able to essentially get it a-la-carte. Very nice.

I appreciate that everyone is doing a-la-carte in the year I’m moving out of my parents’ place lol

I like AP News a lil better than Reuters. Axios and NBC News ain’t bad either if you’re okay with using sites that skew a lil farther to the left.
