I just meant that they were all pretty popular on places like CBM Twitter and Reddit, but now everyone has more or less turned against them. Matthew Vaughn in particular was a popular choice to direct a new Superman movie, and now he’s practically begging James Gunn and Peter Safran to give him a job while promoting his spy movie.

That is largely what I was trying to get at. Sure, I can acknowledge that women falling in love with murderers isn’t exactly unrealistic, but the idea of this particular version of the Joker having an obsessed fangirl who he starts a relationship with comes across to me like it misses the point of the original. That was why I initially compared it to a Tumblr fanfic. Of course, we know very little about the movie at this point, so we’ll have to wait and see how it goes. I just think that synopsis from a few weeks ago feels at odds with the general tone of the first film. Critics accused the first film of romanticizing incel culture, but I think giving Arthur Fleck a girlfriend would unironically validate those arguments.

I have to say, the apparent downfall of directors like Taika Waititi, Patty Jenkins and Matthew Vaughn in the 2020s has been an interesting thing to witness.

I’d have to assume the Academy wouldn’t want to have to deal with the backlash of not giving Oppy Best Picture.

I think he got way too full of himself after everyone credited him for saving the X-Men film series, and kept suggesting that he should direct a Superman movie. Even by Hollywood standards, he’s never come across as particularly modest.

I’m not saying women falling in murderers doesn’t happen, but Arthur Fleck doesn’t exactly come across as the Ted Bundy type. Is Joaquin Phoenix even considered good looking?

I don’t care for pretty much anything to do with GoT, so I haven’t seen HotD, but out of genuine curiosity, were people clamoring for Milly Alcock because they think she’s a genuinely great actress, or just because she’s a young blonde woman who was already in another “geek” thing?

Saying that Batman was a career booster for Keaton is a stretch. His career renaissance happened in the 2010s. The only actor who I think you could say truly had a boost in his career from playing Batman was Bale. Most of the other actors were already pretty well known before that. As for Superman, I’d say it actually has boosted Cavill’s career. He seems to have managed to avoid the Superman curse.

I can never get a handle on what the Internet consensus on Henry Cavill. People either really like him or think he’s a wooden plank.

Sony and Marvel’s partnership has made things more confusing than they ever needed to be.

It would be more accurate to say that Margot Robbie first gained prominence with Wolf of Wall Street, but that playing Harley Quinn was what officially cemented her as a household name. With that said, David Ayer was the one who cast her, not Zack Snyder.

I thought the hate for the trailer was because of how it’s been playing in theaters non-stop over the past four months.

After last year, I’d like to believe that the trend of Hollywood banking on nostalgia is on its last legs, at least as far as the 80s and 90s nostalgia are concerned.

Thoughts on what? Are we supposed to know who this person is?

Don’t a lot of modern critics love genre movies that are completely goofy and irreverent though?

There wouldn’t have been any real way to market NWH without showing the villains. Sony supposedly wanted to hide them initially and present the movie as if Doctor Strange were the antagonist, but at some point they realized that wasn’t really viable.

The marketing for NWH did everything it could to hide the fact that Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield were in it. It was the Internet’s worst kept secret for roughly a year.

Henry Cavill seems to be having a better post-Superman career than Tom Welling and Brandon Routh.

For what it’s worth, I think what they did with George Reeves was a lot more sleazy.

Are they gonna deepfake him again?

I would be somewhat surprised if this makes more than ATSV, at least domestically.

They should move it to November. I’m not sure where that would leave the Blade movie, but Thunderbolts can take the May spot if it starts filming next month like Sebastian Stan claimed.

Empire City and Jeff Sneider are both really annoying.

Its 10th anniversary is this year though.
