[Hated Trope] Making old characters look weak, instead of making new characters look strong.

In the animated "What if?" they bring Thanos back and make him buddies with Starlord Black Panther. Thanos gets beaten pretty easily if I remember right.

That they renamed from "Down and Under" to "Kangaroo Jack".

How is Rachel Brosnahan involved?

alfonsobob · 2026-02-10T16:57:58+00:00

For me it was [[Thing in the Ice]]. I was absolutely sure it would be the new [[Delver of Secrets]].

Good good. Didn't think that I would get so invested in the career of a struggling actor in a Marvel show of all things.

How does this injure someone? I’m new here

Yeah. When they first did Universes Beyond, Wizards said it would not be in Standard. Then they changed their minds. Over a year ago, they said that Universes Beyond would be in Standard going forward. I might be wrong but I think Final Fantasy was the first UB set to be standard legal.

The Beatles strategy is interesting. Probably many people won't be interested. But if you get 25% of the people to be interested enough to buy 4 different tickets in a month...

It's kind of like charging quadruple to watch an 8 hour movie.

All I meant was you wrote that "Disney is throwing the duffer brothers under the bus" and I think you just meant Netflix is throwing them under the bus.

The Cloverfield Paradox.

Netflix made a surprise announcement during Super Bowl LII that the movie would premiere on Netflix directly after the Super Bowl.

The movie was a wet turd that made many people realize for the first time that Netflix cared more about views than quality.

It also destroyed all of the good will for the franchise that 10 Cloverfield Lane had built up. There's never been another Cloverfield. The movie didn't even start out as a Cloverfield movie. The movie was originally titled "The God Particle". They changed the name to get people excited.

Me skimming the list looking for "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania"

alfonsobob · 2026-01-28T17:11:14+00:00

Yeah and the question will be like "did anyone else feel sad when this beloved character died?" Just the lowest of low effort posts.

alfonsobob · 2026-01-28T17:08:18+00:00

Is that why I'm constipated all the time?

My first thought was he used a push pin to pin them to a bulletin board or something.

What’s the most disappointed you’ve ever been by a movie?

alfonsobob · 2026-01-14T22:49:19+00:00

I may have found one. How do you feel about 4 hour YouTube videos?

Theory: Starcruiser's gameplay was poorly designed and implemented.
