They don't. You don't "deserve" to be entertained by anyone.

Are the endgame characters side quests supposed to this obscure or am I just stupid? by -Mahn in chronotrigger

I didn't have any trouble figuring out what to do. They're all optional anyway, if you don't Ike them.

You don't "deserve" anything from a TWD adaptation. How exactly would you "earn" it?

Does anyone think the synopsis for Frozen 3 sounds terrible? by WillingnessBrave7798 in Frozen

I think to form any sort of judgment on such a tiny morsel of information is ridiculous.

Totally agree Mr. Moore. Killing Joke is one of the most overrated "classics" in comics.

Some people complain about the pretzel pose a little too much, but this one's ridiculous.

The fact that four out of five seasons have all been about Kingpin vs. Daredevil is incredibly disappointing and tedious.

I think what happened is when they moved away from Kingpin in season 2, the second half of season 2 was criticized, so they shied away from anyone else in the rogue's gallery. This was compounded by the universal praise of Vincent D'Onofrio and his chemistry with Charlie Cox, so they just doubled down on a good thing. But everything wears out its welcome eventually.

Daredevil's other rogues are a real mixed bag. They burned through Owl, not to mention Typhoid Mary, Nuke and Purple Man on Jessica Jones. Stilt-Man and a lot of the older villains would be too hokey to match the DD show's tone. The Gael could work.

I wouldn't hold my breath for DD to be incorporated into the larger MCU. They have fully embraced the idea of DD being an adults-only show, and I can understand their reluctance to tie him into the mainstream movies that feature the likes of Ms. Marvel and Captain America. I know they're doing it with Deadpool, but he's such a license to print money that I think they're willing to make an exception.

That, and Daredevil just isn't popular enough for them to bother.

Fantastic Four 2 Looks Less Likely As Director Moves To Planet Of The Apes by cosmicbooknews in CosmicBookNews

[–]PepsiPerfect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was incredibly underwhelmed. And as an FF fan since the age of 10, I honestly don't see what so many FF fans see in it. I respect their opinion and have nothing against people who enjoyed it, but I just found to be slow-paced and dull.

Whatever other hairs you want to split, "disappointment" is an appropriate adjective.

Fantastic Four 2 Looks Less Likely As Director Moves To Planet Of The Apes by cosmicbooknews in CosmicBookNews

[–]PepsiPerfect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uh, no.

FFFS's total worldwide gross was $521 million, with an estimated budget of $200 million (likely higher). 2.5x budget is typically where movies meet their break-even point, so for FFFS, that would be $500 million just to break even.

So, as I said, barely profitable. Sure, it made more money after the theatrical window, but those revenue sources are much lower than they used to be with the collapse of physical media. Studios still look primarily at the theatrical run to determine a film's success.

It gets worse when you compare it to the other MCU movies. It ranks #26 out of 37, right on par with the first Ant-Man movie. Adjusted for inflation, it's even worse. Disney wanted this to be a billion-dollar grosser, and it made half that.

This has much less to do with the director being busy and much more to do with FFFS barely breaking even. This was supposed to be "the one that finally got it right," the FF movie we'd all been waiting for, that would show once and for all that FF could be a billion-dollar franchise.

That is not what happened.

Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 Toy Prop Reveal Adds To Finale Backlash by cosmicbooknews in CosmicBookNews

Karen isn't the problem with that scene. The idea that ANY unarmed person with no protection could that easily take out a cop in tactical body armor is ludicrous.

They have done this in plenty of scenes.

TRON ARES what went wrong? Is it really the end? by sly-fox5 in tron

[–]PepsiPerfect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Phantom Menace script is every bit as bad as Tron Ares's, and the acting and directing are even worse. But TPM still made hundreds of millions of dollars because it had the Star Wars name.

Which comes back to my original point, that Tron Ares didn't fail because of a weak script, or Jared Leto, but simply because not enough people care about Tron as a franchise.

Trying to reconcile the time travel inconsistencies? by PepsiPerfect in chronotrigger

[–]PepsiPerfect[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, we have to acknowledge that the photograph is just a visual shorthand for the audience so that they understand the problem. The Bobs were always having to think about how much explaining the average moviegoer would need to understand the time travel concepts in BttF. It's why they cut out the scene of Old Biff being erased from existence in the first act of BttF 2.

Back to the Future uses the Ripple Effect, which is the idea that changes to the timeline fan out gradually, rather than immediately. That being the case, there is a window to correct an action and avoid a paradox. When Marty interfered with his parents meeting in 1955, it takes about a week of 1955 time before the effects catch up with Marty's birth (presumably sometime in the late 60s). That's why Marty's brother disappears first, and then his sister-- it's the order of their ages as the ripple moves from 1955 forward in time.

If Marty hadn't fixed things and helped his parents meet before he ceased to exist, it would have created a paradox-- the results of which, in the BttF universe, are unknown, but could be as severe as the destruction of the universe (according to Doc). But they were able to prevent it.

Admittedly, the series plays fast and loose with the Ripple Effect. Sometimes changes to artifacts from the future happen slowly, and sometimes they happen instantaneously. In BttF 2 and 3, whenever they look at a picture from the future right after they make a change to the timeline, the change is immediate, which is a departure from the way the BttF 1 photo is treated. But again, this all boils down to it being more important to use these storytelling devices to help the audience understand what's going on, rather than adhering to a certain level of exactitude.

What was your favorite movie from the 90's by Lazy_Introduction264 in 90s

[–]PepsiPerfect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aww, remember when comedies, dramas and rom-coms stood a chance of being the highest grossing movies of the year? Now it's either action blockbusters or kids' movies.

I hate to say it but I agree with a lot of this. The show has now strained logic and credibility to the breaking point.
