  1. Personally, the only MonsterVerse film I’d consider particularly “fun” is Kong: Skull Island. GvK is a little too mindless for my taste, and the action doesn’t have much weight to it, in my opinion.
  2. Can’t the “it’s just meant to be dumb spectacle” defense be applied to the Michael Bay Transformers films as well? People have still ragged on those for the better part of 15 years.
  3. When was the last time a big studio release had the embargo drop this late in the game?
  4. Didn’t Pedro Pascal finish filming season two of TLoU? Why can’t filming begin sooner?
  5. Of all the reasons for Disney to face scrutiny, “wokeness” is as dumb as it gets. I really hate being in a position where I have to root for Bob Iger.
  6. All I can say is that if the Average Joe truly gives a shit about it, then humanity is lost.
  7. If Spider-Man comes out in 2025, November is basically the only option. Disney’s not going to push back Avatar 3 for Sony.
  8. I always assumed most of the people who were genuinely mad about the slap were the rich Hollywood types. Most other people just saw it as a funny meme.
  9. Regarding the human characters, the human characters in GvK were nothing to write home about either. It didn’t really matter, since Kong was essentially the main character of that film.
  10. I never said I was against it, but do people remember any part of Bear McCreary’s score that wasn’t based on Akira Ifukube?
  11. People always single out Bear McCreary’s score from KotM as being great, but let’s be honest, Akira Ifukube’s compositions did a lot of the heavy lifting.
  12. Nelson Peltz is a large part of the reason for the whitewashing debacle in Last Airbender, since he got his daughter cast as Katara.
  13. That’s not exactly a hot take. At the very least, that was definitely the case prior to the MCU.
  14. As much as I find Shawn Levy to be a bland director, he’s probably an ideal person to direct these big Marvel “event” films. By all accounts, he’s pretty reliable and knows how to play ball. He also already has experience working with Ryan Reynolds, as well as handling big ensembles. As a matter of fact, assuming DP3 is well received, I would expect them to get Levy for at least one of the upcoming Avengers films.
  15. The first movie used a fair amount of licensed music as well, including a Frank Sinatra song. I don’t see why this would lead to the budget being so much higher than the first one. I would think the better explanation is that Phillips and Phoenix got a massive pay raise, and that Lady Gaga wasn’t cheap either. Maybe they also filmed some really elaborate musical sequences. I assume that can get fairly expensive.
  16. Why even include Shane Black in that list? IM3 was made during the Ike Perlmutter era. You might as well include Joss Whedon.
  17. Wasn’t an animated Netflix movie announced a couple of years ago?
  18. Greta Gerwig is seemingly going to be preoccupied with those Netflix Narnia movies, and Denis Villeneuve apparently wants to take a break from Dune.
  19. I would normally be inclined to agree, but Jenna Ortega is pretty popular with Gen Z, so that might help. But yeah, I’m sick of nostalgia baiting too. I would’ve hoped that the failure of Flash and Indiana Jones last year was going to be a wake up call to Hollywood, but it looks like we’re not quite done just yet.
  20. Why is Ghostbusters the movie that studios have chosen to attach all these trailers to?
