Somebody posted her video in this thread. As a carny, she knows how to get clicks from marks.
Yeah I don't much care for her but I can give credit where credit is due. She knows how to cultivate a following.
And I'm seeing shades of what she was talking about echoed with these guys. Namely the dipping of toes into the unpopular end of the pool.
My read on reactions like that is that Black Widow may end up suffering from being pushed back in amongst all of the Marvel streamed shows which have the luxury of time to marinate a bit longer and develop their characters in ways a single movie can't. The D+ shows have changed some expectations but under the original plan that wouldn't have happened until after Black Widow.

So WandaVision and Mandalorian will keep the date but not Falcon and Winter Soldier. Surprised because it was supposed to be the first one.
WandaVision was much further along in production, shooting was practically done, when COVID ground everything to a halt. Falcon and Winter Solider had some production delays even before the pandemic due to the earthquakes in Puerto Rico earlier this year.

So they can all fly?
In the comics they're usually shown to have a shared power set with a few that can do certain things better than others or having developed unique abilities. But yeah they could all fly.

Poster above is in Chinese. We'll see.
It's just one of the Lunar New Year posters that Disney has started doing for their upcoming releases for the year. They did them for about a dozen different movies this year.

I mean, having that criticism is one thing, but the way you express it is another. And the fact is Ahsoka is perfectly qualified to beat Darth Maul, she has probably had some of the most intense Padawan training ever with the amount of battles she's fought under Anakin. Maul is not some sort of unstoppable force like Campea seems to think.
Yeah I agree. If you're going to plant your flag on a point of creative contention which makes the most sense; Ahsoka Tano, after a period of tutelage under Anakin Skywalker, goes on to become a formidable warrior or Darth Maul, after being cut in half in the in the cinema classic The Phantom Menace gets some new legs via force voodoo and proceeds to wreck all comers? I know where I'd land and it's not on Campea Island.

His mother was killed by Mephisto.
I thought his mother sacrificed her soul to Mephisto as a part of a ritual and Doom eventually gained the right to try and free her from Mephisto's realm/plane once per year. That's why he's so driven to seek power, or became the reason at some point (because comics).

Plus if Doom is indeed going to be the Thanos of next few phases, isn't he an Earthling who uses cosmic eneregy or something so action would take place in space too? F4 do a lot of space adventures too no? means space heroes like CM, GOTG, other are needed in space.
I think Doom is more magic melded with technology and when the cosmic intersects with Earth he takes the opportunity to try and grab some of that to.

What the fuck is wrong with John Campea. Just saw his comments about Ahsoka defeating Maul and they were so weird and gross. Never paid attention to the dude and I see that was a good decision.
He's given Filoni flack for overpromoting Ahsoka in the two series she's appeared in for a while now. Anyone who has read the Ahsoka Tano novel (which Filoni didn't write but I'm sure was consulted on) already has an idea as to Maul's fate during the Siege of Mandalore.
SpoilerCampea's gonna like The Clone Wars even less when this final season is over.

As @Arendelle Legion said, the premise may well be completely fabricated anyway. We'll see.
Yeah I know it's just an IMDB entry I'm just saying the phrasing can be interpreted different ways, whether it's a legit synop or not.

"Research on the Time Stone" could be an effort by Strange to find a way to reform it or infuse something else with it's power. Since Wanda's abilities came from an Infinity Stone that would be a good pretext for involving her in his research.

Yep, but it seems this movie is going to have a lot of characters, and it all indicates that Nightmare is going to be the villain, so i thought they would save Mordo for the third movie.
I know Derrickson made it known that Nightmare was a villain he wanted to play around with but is there anything indicating he's going to be the big bad beyond that? (I haven't followed the rumors on this one very closely, just caught a few set pics from WandaVision). Maybe one of the creative differences he backed out over was Marvel trying to tie Wanda back to the entity from her comic book origin; ie. Chthon.

What is it even supposed to mean
There's the obvious mashup of the two characters' names. Also the premise of the show is apparently based on Wanda creating a pocket reality where she and Vision live an idyllic American middle class life that mirrors classic television shows from the late 50's/early 60's. Maybe she watches old re-runs as a means of escape, I dunno.

She dislikes KK so I’m pretty sure this underperformance is going to egg her to make over a dozen videos about this.
I don't think she hates KK. She's sung her praises often enough in the past. And she liked TLJ.
But GR knows that, in the sandbox she makes her living in, there's more juice in pandering to the Star Wars malcontents, so that's what she does.

I wonder what it will take to make Star Wars popular in China.
I think a fresh start with new characters could help, but idk, it will still be associated with the ST simply due to the name and as we’ve seen, the Chinese don’t care for Star Wars, or at least for the ST.
The problem is what adjustments can they make to increase it's appeal in emerging markets that won't alienate a sizeable chunk of the fanbsase in it's traditional footprint that is resistant to sweeping changes in the franchise.
I think The Old Republic is probably the best approach to that. A lot of fans are begging for it and it would provide a good opportunity for some broader changes to the visual palette and a narrative dynamic other than "the beleaguered underdog vs the oppressive super power".

why is Steve wearing Nike sneakers with a suit?
He's also wearing a Members Only jacket so suit might be a bit of a stretch.

That's a weird thing to say since Watchmen is based on a comic book and is doing more bold, interesting things than the MCU ever has
I'd agree that it is, yes. But it's also operating in a relatively empty space left in the wake of one of the more iconic comic books runs. It's a musing on what could have happened afterwards (and a damn good one at that). The MCU is still running on a mishmash formula built on existing source material because there's just so much of it left untapped.

Grace Randolph already denied the click-bait Variety report:
She's courting the Snyder Cut hopefuls. Once you realize she's one of those people who is so deep into Twitter that it skews all of her viewpoints many of her takes and "information" start to ... well, make more sense at least. It trended so she'll see how many subs she can mine from that particular pocket of disaffected fans.

The Deep has me simultaneously feeling sorry for him and thinking he got what he deserved.
The Deep's arc is one of the most quietly impressive things about this show. They set him up as a real d-bag then manage to make him sympathetic without going all the way to really any sort of redemption. It was an expertly threaded needle.

How is Disney losing 130M on DP? Didn't Fox finance it and Disney simply distributed it? Not sure how financials work like that with a major acquisition like this, but I would have thought the purchase of Fox would have included all finished/semi-finished products, and everything those products make are just printed $ for Disney.
Movie's production budget gets financed through debt, Studio A acquires Studio B, picking up those existing debt obligations in the process.

Yes blanks can absolutely kill someone when fired at point blank range. However Brandon Lee wasn't killed by a blank. He was killed when a blank sent the head of a bullet that was lodged in the barrel of the gun they were using on set into his spine.
