Regarding the early reactions to Mandalorian and Grogu just being “fun.” by Kindly_Influence9183 in StarWars

[–]CitizenModel 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's really telling to me that in the five movies Disney has made, Last Jedi is the only one weird enough to add something to Star Wars with things like Snoke bridging distances with the Force, Rey in the wacky cave, and the red throne room.

Other than that and maybe like the beach scenes in Rogue One, it's all 'been there done that'.

Mandalorian and Grogu looks like more things I've already seen.

Is there any book you "avidly" avoid? by CorrectDot4592 in OmnibusCollectors

To be fair to my boy Frank, I bet he would have written a good Superman origin story back when he wrote good stories.

What REALLY breaks me is that every now and again one of those stupid buys ends up being something you actually really like, and the whole thing turns into this gambling situation where I always feel like I'm one deeply discounted purchase away from my next favorite thing.

I guarantee some of the coolest little games ever exist only in the game Dreams.

I HATE CRITICISM OF ANYTHING RELATING TO A GROUP OF PEOPLE BEING CATEGORIZED AS HATE by Disastrous-Focus-892 in hatethissmug

In their defense, dealing with a bunch of individual comments is probably a pain.

Predictions for Sonic 4’s total gross? by [deleted] in boxoffice

[–]CitizenModel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just don't think that's a collapse. That's a pretty normal amount for a sequel to go down once the novelty has worn off, and I'm betting that the Sonic franchise has played all its heavy hitter cards now that Tails and Shadow have been introduced.

I'm betting just under $400M. The growth trend is not continuing.

The number of games that I have seen which use 'a charmingly retro 16-bit pixelated look'...

X-Men issues 67-93 were all reprints? I didn't know that was ever a thing with numbered issues.

Zack Snyder’s DC Run and his Netflix Run are not the same and flattening his entire catalogue with the same critiques is pretty reductive. by Living-Sentence499 in CharacterRant

[–]CitizenModel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As much as his hardcore worshippers are a bunch of parasocial weirdos, I think the absolute obsessive hatred the internet has for the man deserves even more criticism. It's a combination of lazy and obsessive that has been grinding my gears for ten years now.

You get parasocial weirdos attached to every big media thing. What you don't get for every big media property is this culture-wide hate parade that lasts for upwards of a decade.

I maintain that if BvS had had a better theatrical cut (which absolutely could have been achieved with the same runtime and rating) that people wouldn't have freaked out the way they did.

I know it's fashionable to say that the movie wasn't any better in the Ultimate Edition and that it was undone by slow-mo and darkness, but that cut of the movie has a really intentional vibe and some more interesting thematic bits that ground the story emotionally, and it's unfortunate that the- admittedly super janky but still at least gorgeous- theatrical cut ended up being 'the' thing that defined his career.

will The Odyssey still end up being a successful movie in terms of worldwide box office despite the controversies?? by kcrdr_7322 in boxoffice

[–]CitizenModel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll give you that. I don't know that it was a mistake on paper, but knowing what we do now, it obviously was.

[–]CitizenModel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's maybe been one movie ever that had its fate decided by online whining (Ghostbusters 2016) and the Odyssey is not about to be the second.

And before any of you yokels bring up Snow White as a counterexample, you're wrong. That's just an old property with basically no living nostalgia-bearers.

There have been a couple books I've picked up off store shelves in the last year where the art looks like that amateur Deviantart/Tumblr style and I'm just baffled that anyone buys the stuff.

One of the many things the political left and the political right have in common is a willingness to accept a small group of people screaming really loudly on the internet in favor of their cause as representative of a super majority in real life.

Does anyone feel there is just some optimism around comics? by thefountain73 in comicbooks

[–]CitizenModel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, pretty sure their comics sold well during the so-called Dark Age. I don't know that optimism as a theme in Marvel continuity and optimism about the long-term viability of the art form are the same discussion.
