The FX are obviously a 'little' weak for what we 'mericans' probably expect in a modern giant monster film.................. but honestly, after watching the bland 'dust'-fests that have been basically ALL the american made godzilla films... I'll take a film with something to SAY and 'acceptable' fx...

6.7/10 is GENEROUS... Marvel needs to rip it's head out of the sand. Nobody behind the wheel cares anymore and it's NAKEDLY obvious. You can't deliver this much shit consistently unless you're actively trying, or incompetent, and I WILL give them the benefit of the doubt to assume they aren't active...

Femina

Didn't this show just sort of feel like a 'some stuff that happened' soup? I'm really not a fan of this style of 'random shit' story telling. Figure out your plot, figure out what story you want to tell and write TOWARD that... one minute we're supposed to be worried that cate is villain, then we're...

A fair portion of the people the left are fighting now are actually democrats and old liberals. Are you SURE about this Mr. X? I see you pull it out a lot and it feels strongly of an 'In my opinion I see this a lot' kind of argument and it's one that 'in my opinion' I don't see it replicated in rea...

WARTIME cancelations are probably less likely to be the sorts of cancelation we're used to (Gina Carano dug her own grave and y'all should quit defending her like it was some little thing..

Female 'cheesy pie' in all the stuff from 60's nostalgia are no MORE racy than Elizabeth Olsen in a leotard, and that's just the facts. I think you're playing naive on purpose to win. WAY big difference between a small scene of Olsen in a leotard vs a jacked Hemsworth naked and chained down as eye ...

Now I get the point about oppressed White Men. I get it. We only have 3 Captain America movies, 4 Thor Movies, 3 Iron Man movies, 3 Ant-Man movies, 3 Spider-Man movies, 2 Doctor Strange Movies, 3 Star-Lord (Guardians) Movies, and Incredible Hulk. I mean, that's only 22 movies with White Male Main P...

I don't mean to be indelicate about it (and I don't think I am) but last I checked, isn't Disney a business that wants to make money? At this point we should be encouraging more of these movies at double and triple the budget. Its past the point of saving. Bankrupt them. Same with comics. The faste...

No interest in back-analysis of speeches. But I just saw the new Marvels trailer. Between that and the updates on the movie's Wikipedia page, something is made quite abundantly clear, and I guarantee you that a roomful of decision-making executives led by Kevin Feige sat down and arrived at this co...

Femina

Show us the speech WITH context. The wording is pretty clear. Yeah no, I'm not fighting you on this (in the perfectly sincere sense of the phrase). THAT there, which YOU have posted IS indeed 'basically' the speech. I assume you and I interpret it differently but that's as be. What it ISN'T... is e...

The 'so what' is that it was cookie cutter reporting to slant it in the most dishonest way possible. I don't have to like someone. People can have abrasive personalities. Yes, agreed, but you still don't get to DECIDE what they've said. You CAN posit if you believe they're hiding something, speakin...

I'm VERY serious, what was done was essentially the same as if I got up on my soapbox right now and declared "People of The Ultimate Superheroine Forum, We should never be comfortable with mass murder!" No it was not quoted in that way. Her speech is online. she's very distinct about what...

The question is: to what extent is the product--the "outrage"--desired because there is a righteous outrage. Is the outrage merited? If the outrage was off-base and irrational, would it have the legs it seems to have? I'm not tapped into all that is happening in Hollywood and Disney, so I...

I agree, but it's pretty much what this thread has been saying all along, anyway. The Strong Female Character has been mostly written wrong since the "Woke Era" began, because the writers from the generation of participation trophies mostly don't know how to write believable, complex stro...

Gonna leave this here cause I think it's a better and more objective (and more respectful) examination of the 'phenomena' than the Critical Drinker is capable of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmWgp4K9XuU Modern movies don't all suck, and it's not because of the 'strong female character' The proble...

Please don't try to save the world. That's what leads to Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot. Just be kind to the people you meet and try to understand them. Take off the paranoid glasses that make you see everyone as an enemy until they prove otherwise. Most people just want to get along. If we fall ...

Femina

I might not object to the film at all, but I'll never watch one where all the publicity, advertising, and actors tell me how much they saved the world by filming it. A good writer doesn't do that. I'm on the opposite end of politics from the "politically correct"--a phrase borrowed from t...

It would be boring. That's the only reason. Batman had lots of talk here and there early on of cops deciding he was a criminal, Spiderman too.... but they never allowed them to be CAUGHT during those periods cause then we'd have to slog through law nonsense. They wrote comic books so that powerful m...

To concentrate on one of the mentioned movies: I do not understand the problems people have with Captain Marvel. I love the movie (for me it's one of the best in the MCU), I love the character and I like the actress who played her. (I think, the only thing in the movie I am unhappy about, is that t...

The reason for this is simple. Everyone's been to Jury Duty and they know Court is BORING. Nobody wants to read a superhero book, or watch a superhero movie where everyone's in legal trouble all the time. I'd just about rather watch a steak cook on a rock before I had to wade through issue after iss...

One other point: I appreciate you engaging in the discussion Femina. Though we see things differently and may not agree on some points, I like having a discussion and bouncing thoughts off different perspectives. Mhhm. I definitely don't disagree with major consensus that a character with more comp...

Femina

I don't mean this to sound condescending or negative, but I think you may have an ideological blind spot to the topic itself. The issue as I see it, and what I take from the video, is that many current female characters--especially in Disney/Marvel/DC franchises--are presented as "the strong f...

I find these sorts of discussions to be full of all the wrong questions and lessons. There's nothing wrong with the 'strong female character' it's a sexist assumption/demand on female characters to 'be' a certain way that is held double standard in that the same is NOT expected of male characters. ...

They got too committed to pushing the movie to do the right thing and take the tax loss here and start over. The final twist ending was the third version that they shot and tested as each time the head of studio and DCEU direction changed. The real news will be next weekend when the box office drop...

They have to hire younger actors to do the stunt shit cause Harrison Ford is too old to swing by a whip.

It's great to hear that you discovered the world of Zenescope and enjoyed reading the Robyn Hood series.

This is quite possibly your dumbest pithy one sentence refutation yet. People drink Foldgers. LOTS of people drink foldgers. They're MAKING Foldgers.

Do go back and read it. You'll find I'm talking very much about the 'passing' of the Golden Age of Ship.

Femina, I feel your pain. The seventies, when the women's lib movement was a real growing force, generated a few strong female characters like WW and the Bionic Woman.

Mostly I agree with what SHL said before, customs is the best business way today, and we're so spoiled, but not with the miracle part. The one who spoiled us is the movie which brings us here, like Helen Slater's Supergirl, in my case. The vital thing is you have to buy the image that she's a real ...

Yes there's NO point at which one could take 90% of the stories people write and turn it into a fetish production. You're talking about a medium where the only limit is your imagination, and porting over to a medium which is just dogpiled with limitations. Theatrical flicks based on books cost hundr...

For me, the golden age of SHIP has passed because of the paucity of new, original, and compelling ideas. I do understand that the business models for most of these SHIP companies has always been customs, but I think if this fledgling industry is to survive and evolve, it has to get away from derivi...

Femina

Can we stick to the golden days of SHIP please. Yes, as soon as the simping over Capitalism ends. xD No I'm done. You're right, it's just circles. I won't engage with it anymore. I DO feel we never really know what's coming around the corner. There could always be a second Golden Age. We never know.

Seems like you’re defining capitalism in a specific manner to suit your argument. My sense has always been that capitalism is a simply the opportunity to sell one’s goods and services to whom ever they want at whatever price they want. Anything else is a form of intervention not associated with cap...
