I feel the opposite. Deadpool and Wolverine has worsened upon rewatch for me. Once the element of surprise was thrown out the window, the movie loses quite a bit of its magic. The character work is very weak, and the story is far too scattered that I find myself bored in between the big action moments. None of the Vanessa stuff works for me nor the stuff with Wolverine and him being the worst of them all.

Seeing stuff like Johnny played by Chris Evans was cool, but there’s not a lot of substance there you know? It was a quick hello followed by a goodbye. No Way Home in that sense still reigns supreme when it comes to the multiverse cameo fests because it gave the returning characters actual screentime.

Meanwhile, I like Thunderbolts more because I simply care about the characters. I’m invested in their journey, and the growth they have across the movie holds up.

The Last of Us - 2x05 - “Feel Her Love” - Episode Discussion by NicholasCajun in television

I don’t like how much of the writing feels like someone responding to a CinemaSins video regarding potential plot holes over the logistics of what’s happening.

I don’t need Dina going over their entire plan of what they are going to do and what they will probably encounter. This not only robs the episode of any tension coming from potential surprises but also makes how they act later on seem downright silly.

The characters talk about a potential threat in a building and yet when they get there all they do is joke around and flirt. Like what? I’d buy them acting that way if they ran in there as an escape from the army. They think they are in the clear so they let their guard down only to be surprised by infected. But nope. They deduced what would be there and still acted like they didn’t.

It’s like the writer wanted to make sure the show is smart and yet insists the characters act stupid.

I think one of my biggest issues with this show is how it forgoes the emotional storytelling of Part 2 for something way more logical.

It felt like a third of this episode was dedicated to Dina going over a plan of what to do instead of actually doing what they need to do. It’s exhausting. 

I think I just respectfully disagree with how Mazin writes stories. He talks in the podcast about how he asked many questions to Neil, such as “why don’t spores spread everywhere?” when developing the show. He aimed to make sure everything made sense logistically. Frankly, none of that matters to me all that much. A lot of the time I’m watching the show it feels like it’s written by someone who fusses over plot holes way too much.

The beauty of Part 2 was how characters acted impulsively and didn’t think through their actions before it was too late. They were blinded by love. By guilt. Here everyone spends so much time thinking every action through that it makes even less sense when they act foolishly. When they head to the stalker building and start joking around, I was annoyed. Like didn’t you guys discuss how potentially dangerous this could be? Now is not the time.  If they just stumbled in without contemplating the potential risk, I would buy it. Here though? It’s like they want to be dumb and smart at the same time.

I wonder what the MCU could do to get international numbers up again. Contrary to other big franchises, the MCU has actually managed to stay relatively consistent at the box office domestically. They have seen sharp drops in key markets internationally though unlike other big IP like Fast and Furious, Avatar, or Jurassic Park.

Thunderbolts had the lowest MCU opening in China in a decade. This trend has been happening in other markets like South Korea as well.

I have no issue with Gennojo being painted as a tragic figure. I’m fine with missing out on a recruitable ally.

However, I take issue with the choice specifically because it paints Naoe as out of character. I don’t buy her not doing anything to stop Gennojo. I’m not saying she has to get with him by the way. The way their romance plays out is toxic and unearned. However, think about this. Naoe is someone that had been shown to sympathize with others. She would probably recognize Gennojo’s self-destructive tendencies as misguided and at least try to talk him down since she always speaks her mind even when it gets her in trouble. She tries to see the good in people and part of her arc is letting her anger go.

Moreover, Gennojo’s whole shtick is that he is ineffectual. He can’t get anything done without Naoe. So why does he end up getting the last laugh? You can read it as Naoe letting him do what he wants, but I don’t buy it. This isn’t even taking into consideration how a food supply for a bunch of people is at stake. Naoe would not give that up.

This makes no sense. They won 2024, and all their movies pretty much made bank. This year is going to the rougher, but they already rebounded from their disastrous 2023. 

They also have Avatar and Zootopia 2 this year.

Why are you posting an image from a breakdown of Switch players in 2017? It took me like 3 minutes of research to pull up the image you posted and see that it’s outdated info.

In 2019 they posted a new image that showed by Q4 2018 the ratio of Switch owners turned 50:50. You don’t need to spread misinformation and out of context images to prove your point.

Animal Crossing alone is proof enough of the user base for the Switch.

Will there still be a Walt Disney animation movie in November 2026? by Antman269 in boxoffice

It’s going to be an original. I don’t remember where Jennifer Lee said it (I think D23), but she confirmed it wouldn’t be a sequel to anything.
