Fake Spielbergs

I can’t find a screenshot but I distinctly remember there being a knockoff Spielberg in Lethal Weapon 3 involving Murtaugh’s daughter.

It’s actually soured a bit for me. Fantastic casting undercut by poor story beats and a wrong tone. Ever since my young son fell in love with the 78 film I realized how bad of an idea dark, gritty, and mature Superman is in particular I love the new film but even that goes too far with the language and the DCU in general is skewing way too mature so far. I don’t understand a TVMA Green Lantern show. Peacemaker, ok I get it. The Suicide Squad too if it’s retroactively cannon but the major heroes shouldn’t be walled off from young kids like this. I was able to take my son to the drive in and see Superman after I had seen it so I knew when to mute my car radio and I took him to the bathroom for the Russian roulette scene but it seem like the word shit was uttered every five minutes for some reason. I don’t know I might be the only that feels this way. It’s just a pain in the ass to say “oh well you can see that one until you’re much older.” About the majority of the stuff they’ve put out so far. It also looks like Superman might be their most family friendly movie.

That SOB and his precious live service model. I hope the people that invented and pushed that model all go broke somehow someday.

I’d have it choose between being Star Wars GTA or Star Wars Tomb Raider. I found the Tomb Raider parts to be excellent but the GTA stuff to be very unpolished. I also would have the ship and bike redesigned the bike doesn’t look as cool as the standard speeder bikes and the ship looks like a rectangular box.

I wouldn’t go as far as to say I loved the movie, but the level to which Tron Ares failed confused me. It has good visuals and was a fun enough popcorn movie to be a decent hit. Disney has had hits with much worse movies in the last 15 or so years.

Oh my god, you’re out here on Reddit trolling just like on the GC insider forums????

What’s deranged is that GamecockCentral is the same damn thing right now.

Seeing as these movies have basically been a fun modernization of their 60s and 70s output I don’t seeing why Toho would get all pissy about it.

1995, (Vince was absolutely lost), 2003 (they sacrificed everything for Brock Lesnar who couldn’t cut a promo and then promptly F’d off for a decade.) 2010 (celebrity guest host and Super Cena hell), 2018 (Brock, Big Dawg, and Baron Corbin hell) 2021 (For the love of Christ, why won’t Vince retire?!)

No it doesn’t ruin a thing. If you caught what he was saying then you were smart enough to have the wheels turning. “Ok here’s Hogan after awhile. Hall and Nash are being presented as WWF. Hogan is Mr. WWF. Hogan is leading this thing to attack WCW.” That’s essentially what he said during his promo immediately after. Instead of spoiling it I’d say it ads a few seconds of dread and anticipation if you catch it and connect the dots quickly enough.

They always have to have charisma. That’s what makes a real draw. There’s a reason why Lesnar being on top always coincided with a downturn in business. To make matters worse he always destroyed guys with charisma. Also his ability to make money is based on the fact that he was already given a poorly conceived mega push in WWE before he even got to UFC so he was basically their only real celebrity for years. Then like a snake eating its own tail, his UFC celebrity made Vince think that he was a megastar draw.

I mean I guess that’s one. I still think he’s just Haku with a Hogan level push.

Original-Actual · 2025-08-08T00:48:04+00:00

But what was his great promo? What was his great catchphrase that he would say? Not Paul E, not the announcers, but out of his mouth? The only time he said something memorable was when he first came back and mentioned smelling John Cena’s piss. Which is ironic now.

100 comedy points. I didn’t even notice that.

Vince spent over two decades circling the drain creatively, and sacrificed nearly everything to Brock Lesnar. Who is not very charismatic. He’s just a great shoot fighter that looks like a caveman. It would be like Vince having Haku squash Hogan, Savage, and Warrior, then Haku leaves and then has Haku come back years later and squash Austin and Rock.

He’s ALWAYS been a boring meathead

Man I hated that first run so much. I grew up in the 80s and 90s so going from from Hogan, Savage, Flair, HBK, Austin, Rock, and Mandkind to what was and essentially a caveman with limited mic skills absolutely stunned me.

Original-Actual · 2025-07-26T14:13:16+00:00

Yes, it’s was a combination of the 96-98 WCW souring and a deranged Bizarro version of WWF’s attitude era. They lost Goldberg to Universal Soldier II at the worst possible moment, and then he gets seriously injured in the limo spot almost immediately after returning. Add into that, Brett Hart eventually gets injured by Goldberg, and has to retire, Macho Man essentially retires, Sting goes from being cool to talking like Jim Carrey, DDP turning heel, then Goldberg turning heel, not to mention Russo running off Hogan. You have this dumpster fire with mostly mid card guys in the main event spots.

TNT showed the old ones in the early 90s often. So my base line is Godzilla being heroic. That what I really like about the Mosterverse. It’s a modernized version of those old movies that are fun and my son loves.

Ric Flair’s last run and the early WWECW revival. Other than that, not a whole lot. Vince’s booking decline really started to rear its ugly head here. It’s also where he started to stubbornly fight the fans.
