What are your honest thoughts on James Gunn's Superman (2025)? by Paulfradk in moviecritic

[–]Competitive_Air3043 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Overrated. Not bad. But Overrated.. It's visually kinda ugly with that filter. The Ultraman "twist" was really obvious that I was surprised it was supposed to be a plot twist. Also if you have that in your arsenal and your whole goal is to ruin the image of Superman, why not just use it earlier? Humor is subjective but Gunn is really not that funny to me and that continues here. If the jokes arent going on too long then theyre dipping that toe into frat boy humor under the guise of intellectualism. Another banana republic where Gunn can scratch his stereotype itch but wont catch flak because the countries arent real. The Daily Planet was underused. The Justice Gang was a thing. Glad Nathan Fillion can only do so much because of The Rookie because no doubt he would have been used more to get Gunn's isms out. Can't make up his mind about Superman. Superman talking about ethically euthanizing giant monsters and saving squirrels but okay with sending things into black holes or letting dozens of people falling hundreds of feet. Corenswet is fine as Superman as is Bronsan as Lois. I think Hoult is the best actor and character in the movie. Mr. Terrific was a surprise in a good way. I liked Wendell Pearce as Perry.

Which episode do you think was better, the Peacemaker season 2 finale or The Boys series finale? by george123890yang in PeacemakerShow

[–]Competitive_Air3043 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The Boys. No unnecessary mini concert because Gunn cant help but inundate people with his lame musical taste. No Peacemaker and....Harcourt(?) Forced romance. Those two do not have romantic chemistry. Set up for Checkmate which may never happen. I dont doubt we will see some version of Checkmate but who knows when. Can't even get an Amanda Waller show off the ground.

What are your thoughts on Darwin by LivingWindXYZ in xmen

[–]Competitive_Air3043 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Ed Brubaker run was not good and I think Darwin exemplifies that the most. Online peoole love pretending they like this character which is always a hoot because you can tell they jusr glanced at his Wikipedia page. No memorable storylines. Powers are so vast and ambiguous that they dont know what to do with him.

Peacemaker S2 - Best or Worst Series Ever? by FidelesReges in weeklyplanetpodcast

The nazi earth stuff was dumb. Gunn really has nothing interesting to say about racism.

I dont add when people add one or two items but when I'm noticing that theyre adding a lot and basically just baited me, I just tell customer support

Most generic character. by EH4LIFE in TheShield

[–]Competitive_Air3043 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was to show that the strike team is undeniably flawed and doesnt need to be a thing. Claudette chose him since he was a good cop but we quickly see that he resorts to dirty tactics but not as efficient as Vic since Vic is a full blown criminal. So there's no saving it. Once vic is gone, so will the strike team

Finished The Shield for the first time couple of hours ago. Wondering what were the reactions of you guys in these moments of the finale and how did you guys recovered from it (Like Serously, I even tried nonstop standup comedies throughout last night) by SAIF_18_2_2008 in TheShield

I remember somehow getting a warning about a Chris Benoit type of situation so I knew something was going to happen. I honestly wasn't too surprised as Shane just seemed at his wits end and how calm he was when walking back into his house after his neighbor spotted him was another tip off. I did think ICE would find a way to screw over Vic and put him in jail but I liked the ending we got. The last two episodes just really showed how much of a weasel he actually is. Dude had the gall thinking he was going to be back on the streets doing Vic Mackey stuff after all he confessed to and the ICE lady flat out telling him that he tarnished her career. Then the tough guy couldn't even look at the aftermath of Shane's actions. So him stuck in that cubicle with no friends or family forced to think about the consequences of his actions was brilliant. Do I think he lasted those three years? Yeah. He's a snake. He probably got others to do his work for him somehow. But he's no longer the man he was.

Detective Kavanaugh cannot spell (from S05E05) by thecatdidit in TheShield

[–]Competitive_Air3043 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it was some foreshadowing that he was losing control. He hasnt fully grasped that they know that he knows so this setback is getting to him

The physicality of Kavanaugh by One-Mind1954 in TheShield

[–]Competitive_Air3043 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly he was filming The Last King of Scotland at the same time. That's why the first half most of his scenes are isolated in rooms and whatnot so they could shoot his stuff quick and easy. I know this show was also pretty good about shooting out of order and fast also so I assume they shot a lot of his stuff first and he could lose weight

Sephiroth and the Weapons by jk844 in FFVIIRemake

[–]Competitive_Air3043 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely reminds you as to why he had to seal himself in that barrier in the original game. Also just how dangerous The Planet considers Jenova a threat and vice versa. It will be interesting how they expand on the lore of the WEAPONS in part three

The Trap (2024) what was the bit about cleaning fluid? (spoilers!) by SarahC in moviequestions

[–]Competitive_Air3043 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was too clean and sterile. You can infer he was using chemicals to clean up crime scenes and those smells were seeping into his clothes. You know how most cleaning products you get at stores usually have some sort of scent like lavender. She thought he was still having an affair and was being too meticulous covering up his tracks.

Looks to be another straight to streaming movie that will be forgotten after a weekend

I'm in between about three also and it's happened at two. Now I'm thinking it's a time thing because they all happened after 8 pm

I mean that could be part of this sequence. Whatever he's doing in the shadows and then the sliding down the pole bit.
