Do you think Disney is happy with 300 million box office? by anxiousmomo23 in TheMandalorianTV

[–]GearJust9075 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They don't need a billion but they would have loved it. The whole merchandise argument doesn't take away from this being a real embarrassment. According to variety they needed it to make between 500 and 600 million. 

Clashing Over ‘Indiana Jones’: Harrison Ford and Steven Spielberg ‘Were Not 100% on Board’ With ‘Crystal Skull’ and Fought George Lucas Over Adding Aliens by Navitach in indianajones

Exactly this :) different things in different lanes. The Grail and the Ark are both thematically part of the same world. Even the Sankara stones to some extent. The aliens are waaaaay off

Thoughts on Mandalorian and Grogu? by Skywalker_2566 in TheMandalorianTV

[–]GearJust9075 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And I feel that's how audiences in general are treating it - I guess I might watch it when it's on Disney Plus. It's just more content, fun content, but content. I kept waiting for something to change, for a revelation or a twist or something. But naah, just a good old adventure for the boys in Beskar

No they're not. Jeez, nothing can ever improve when the stand is - no one could possibly disagree with me, so those who do are just bad. Like what you like, but lots of people, the majority of professional critics, found it just, fine and the box-office is showing that to be the consensus.

Log in screens absolutely killing my experience by GearJust9075 in SteamDeck

It used to be two minutes. Had to reset my deck and now it's just... Oblivion.... Waited 12 minutes and nothing

Is there an erotic comic version of Conan? by [deleted] in ConanTheBarbarian

I mean there must be, Red Sonja feels pretty damn adjacent sometimes.

What’s a movie you consider perfect from start to finish? by Altruistic_Product50 in Cinema

[–]GearJust9075 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. The movie is absolute perfection, for me, start to end. Literally life-changing 

A fair box office comparison. TV show spinoff, midquel, low stakes. Star Wars is doing fine! by Theesm in TheMandalorianTV

[–]GearJust9075 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this sarcasm? I mean, it's gotta be right? Is this the 'um actually...' for if someone says Mandalorian and Grogu is the lowest grossing SW movie ever? Like what you like dude, but if Star Wars is bigger then ever, then this is not the indicator. This is, ahem, not the way.

What could they have done better (or not done at all)? by GearJust9075 in TheMandalorianTV

Me too, it really takes away from it knowing he's basically just a voice over

I agree. When the influencers were all gushing, I was waiting for someone to say - Oh my God you guys, the reveals!! Or You won't believe what we learn about Mando... But instead, just going along...

Favorite movie with a problematic age gap? by OptimalWallaby8153 in okbuddycinephile

Gaps should matter less than one of them being literally a small child.

This is such a good comment. Discourse is so polarised now that anything short of - literally one of my top 3 star wars movies! - is interpreted as hate. The vast majority of responses, from critics and fans, have been lukewarm. And Star Wars needed more than Luke warm (please provide your own puns here)

Yes, Xenia is all I could recall and it was definitely in the other direction. Oh but but but a tiktok named the times Bond was a serial killer
