"Standalone" Yeah sure buddy.

Moderation You had your fun debating Star Wars last night, but we're not kickstarting this stuff again. Don't even bother.

If you don't like reading this stuff, you can just ignore it if you want.

Now this is how I would support Andrew being in the Marvel Industrial Complex

Here's an interesting tidbit: I generally like most of the CBMs that come out every year. Black Widow was a good time, helped by a very endearing and strong supporting cast. Shang-Chi was very much the same. The Suicide Squad was an absolute thrill ride from beginning to end. And No Way Home surprised me on how much I enjoyed it, though I still think Jon Watts can't direct action for shit. I'll probably end up liking Eternals too, because it seems to contain interesting elements I like in these kinds of films. It just so happens that I'm critical on them and have issues with these movies quality-wise. So yeah, despite liking them, I think I am allowed to knock the series down a few pegs or say that I prefer if an actor I love does something I would find more interesting personally. It's cool if people want something different from what I want, but I don't see why I have to keep my mouth shut. It's not like people can't just ignore me or move on to another post.

I mean...yeah. Me stating my own opinion is me being biased. Just as people saying that Garfield should be back as Spider-Man are also being biased. Not sure what you're going after here.

Nahhh, keep Garfield out of the Marvel industrial complex. They don't deserve his talent.

Honey you do not disrespect the true star of Legend of Tarzan, The V, like that.

I respect the optimism here, and I'm sure my stuff is an outlier, but...I dunno, I remember NTTD starting to flounder at the same point in time here in Philly, while things seemed fine with the other trackers, only for it to open to lukewarm results. And when you consider the fact that Matrix is probably fan-driven in presales and Spider-Man is sucking up all the attention in multiplexes, both in gross and WOM, I just think we're in real trouble here. I really am wishing the best for Matrix, like I do with every movie, but I feel like my Philly sales shouldn't just be waved off just yet.

I'm still bitter that out of all the Disney+ shows announced, we're still not getting anything in the Sequel Trilogy era. Mandalorian is fun, but it's just not enough. I just want to see Rey or Finn or Poe or Ben or whoever one more time. Okay, now I'm done with the off-topic stuff. Continue talking about EC's Sunday speculation.

4. IS OFF-TOPIC DISCUSSION OKAY? Off-topic discussions are okay in situations where there's downtime and there aren't any numbers. But when numbers are coming up and things are getting busy, then keep off-topic things down to the minimum.

The characters are what truly made this such a lame experience. They had such an incredible cast, full of some of the most dynamic and memorable actors working today. But aside from K-2S0, I can't remember a single detail about any of them. Star Wars works as well as it does because the characters are so engaging and memorable and endearing (that's what helps a lot of the Sequel Trilogy's issues, just how fun and memorable the cast is), but Gareth Edwards just...forgot to write personalities for his cast? Still rooting for that Cassian Andor show though, because Diego Luna is wonderful and pure and deserves the world.

All men are beautiful and deserve to be loved for their size.

Yeah pretty much. Every time I see people go "Rogue One is the best", I just don't get it. I mean the climax is cool, but everything else is just a snorefest.

This isn't a mod warning btw. This was me trying to be funny with the whole "well my opinion is the one that truly matter,s so now we can end it". You can keep going if you want to, so long as you don't do anything stupid.

And after I gave my hot take, I think now's the time to stop the ST/PT fighting. We all know it's gonna go to shit after all this. It's a silly fight anyways

Legion, go to bed.

Okay maybe scrapping it is off the cards, but all the Letitia shit and the production delays just makes it seem like the movie's a nightmare right now (yes I know bad production doesn't mean a bad movie), and it's not like there's any loose ends at the Wakanda side of things. The first Black Panther ends on a good note, Wakanda has its king back after Endgame and all is happy there. I guess they were planning some big stuff with that Namor dude as the bad guy, but you could probably slot him as like the bad guy in Shang-Chi 2 or whoever.
