If, and this is a very big if, Feige wanted to change directions on the big bad of the next phase from Kang, this would be the time. It's a great out. Find a way to rework Loki, and quietly put Kang in a neat little box of "Maybe later we'll recast". You'll have rumors to the contrary of course, but the bulk of PR can spin it as a reaction the Majors's actions. This is of course IF the feedback on Kang is as terrible as some people in this thread think. Otherwise, it'll be a recast. I'd put money they're probably already looking at how to do a Kevin Spacey with Loki.

Don't believe so. All I've ever seen from him is just a little chaos demon gremlin. Waluigi has even less of a backstory. See, I'd love to see the reverse, where bowser turns on Wario. Kind of like any Mario RPG where Bowser isn't the main baddy, he'll side with Mario to stop that baddy.

The fact the only government talking about fuel shortages and what's going on is Broward County, and DeSantis has decided his feud with Disney is more important. But that's a Dem area, so doubt he cares enough.

This is the fundamental disagreement. DeSantis 100% doubles down when he's losing. Every step of this has been DeSantis doubling down because Disney did something to hurt him.

Killing Florida's economy isn't going to win him votes nationally. At no point has he been seen to be winning outside a hard-core base that'll break for Trump over him 100% of the time. He's an idiot that'll destroy his state's economy and his political career to hurt Disney.

Sure do a Wario as your villain who frees Bowser. I'm down for that. Heck if they go where he is literally made of the bad of Mario I'd be there.

Hm...he's not really thinking through what shutting down Disney World will do to Florida and his election chances. Like what's the end game? Hurt Disney? Yeah, he might be able to do that. But anything done to Disney World hurts Florida more.

The fact this was said with a straight face as a fault in Marvel's plans is really telling.

If we get a baby Mario Bros/Yoshi movie I will be very happy.

This is exactly the movie your expecting. It does what it wants to do very competently. Solid jokes. Pacing is good. Acting goes from good to great. The animation is beautiful. This is just another entry in why Illumination is successful. They know their audience and know how to cater to it. As someone who loves Mario games, I did get a kick out of all the small references and even the bringing of the platforming to their world. Also the Integration of iconic mario music into the film was very satisfying to me. It's a good time. My only complaint is perhaps the ending bits in Brooklyn. B+

isn't that what we're getting anyway?

It seems a mis-count has occurred, RotJ should be is clearly #1

I don't think I've said hi again to everyone, but hi again. It's nice to be back, nice to see some old faces.

My take away from that survey is that it seems 50% of people don't want more Harry Potter, regardless of their opinions of Rowling.

Radcliffe's choice in film roles post Potter is pretty much solid evidence to me he isn't the type to just do a role for cash.

Honestly I like that, but that tickles my fancy in general. Just if I see clones of Kanan, Ezra, or Ahsoka, I may just quit.

Problem is, Ron seems like an Adult compared to Trump. Add a third person, and he looks like a toddler thanks to his tantrums in Florida.

I think the big difference is that Transformers NEVER had the height of a Raiders or Last Crusade to bouy any good will. All you need is WOM to compare Indy 5 to those two and it'll do fine.

If I recall, Hasbro footed part of the bill too. So capping where this movie profits for the studio may be hard.

I think all Indy needs is a wiff of good reviews and it does great.

Honestly didn't even know the runtime going in and didn't feel it at all.

It's just the same thing people have been saying for generations.

For better or worse, I think the Disney+ shows have caused a problem for the Movies. And perhaps having the shows and movies tie in so much could cause serious problems. It's one thing to ask an audience to watch 3 movies a year, another to ask them to watch a half dozen shows on streaming that conclude or start character arcs from the a film.

Hoo boy. Been planning a trip to Japan since pre-pandemic. May want to consider this.

Sweet. It looks like two separate Stop Motion stories. So I'm all in on that, I don't know the other studios, but all of what I saw looks amazing. I don't know why, but I thought Visions was just a retelling of stories by different animated studios.
